    Well if you listen to tankies (which you shouldnt) America is why the whole world is like this. We control everything and also are a total failure. It’s weird to be two opposing things at once.

      If only there was a word for people who use arguments like this, when their enemy is weak and strong at the same time

        Hey, I’m just a guy. My defense budget is just a door on the front of my house. Stay mad though ;]

          You do understand what I’m getting at right? Your defense budget makes you powerful but takes away… Well pretty much everything else. I hope you escape your programming. Stay awkward though :》

                Here we go again, I am the ultimate enemy with my massive defense budget and also completely powerless.

                You’ll never guess where i found the following description of your style of arguement:

                The enemy is both weak and strong. “[…] the followers must be convinced that they can overwhelm the enemies. Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.”

                This is a defining factor of a fascist. I don’t blame you for being misled your entire life as it is not your fault, however it is your responsibility.
