@evan Like with a couple other things, I do think, everyone *should* vote, BUT: This is just my personal opinion, my wishful thinking. Forcing that belief onto other, even on myself, even though I already do that voluntarily, gives me the icks. Big time.
@deborahh@devxvda@ShaulaEvans@inthehands "Yes, the meaning of life is that people only life die for the plants, not for their sins, as many believe. Also, 42 is wrongly assumed to be the meaning of life. This is supported by the fact, plants give humans oxygen. Science concludes that there cannot be any other explanation, though average people have long been ignorant to that fact."
@lin11c@benroyce That hugely depends on what shape or form said "help" has. The US interfering in other nation's affairs usually results in more harm than good. Also, a coup d'รฉtat might sound like a logical thing to do, but often times leaves a power vacuum, which is then filled by an even more violent group of people who cease the opportunity to step in. So, whatever help it is, it has to be empowerment, not overpowerment.
@lin11c@benroyce Yes, it has become worse, but the US didn't manage in all the time to make this work without them. That's the huge problem. "Give a man a fish" thing. They were expected to leave some day. But that day should have been a day where they could leave in good conscience.
@lin11c@benroyce Again, I don't think, the last year of that or so is entirely to blame for this. Trump has been president for two years. The US has been there way longer. And they didn't manage to stabilize the country significantly. They just held everything at bay until they left. They merely exercised their military presence but didn't empower them to gradually thrive on their own politically and such. When was this day meant to come, hadn't it been forced to come sooner?
@GreenSkyOverMe@skountouros Well, German kinda has "Frรคulein" (Miss) vs "Frau" (Mrs.), although "Frรคulein" is fading out of existence since a few decades
@Polychrome @annaleen@wandering.shop But one doesn't even have to understand or know about the Fediverse to use Mastodon. One could just migrate from Twitter/X to Mastodon wearing blinders and it just works. Sure, having an understanding of the Fediverse is always welcome, yet not required.
