That’s why I wrote “…now definitely a rogue state”. Not that there was much of a question before but now it should be obvious even to US-citizens.
You must be male, white, and a US citizen, I assume … and you are obviously ill-informed.
You can’t be serious.
True. But what I mean above all is that the US is now more unpredictable in terms of foreign policy than ever before.
By rogue state, I mean a country that poses a threat to world peace due to its unstable and dangerous government.
As a rule, the following criteria are usually applied, almost all of which the USA now fulfills:
Oh man, that can’t be true. I’m so sorry for you that you’re surrounded by such ignorant people. It must be hell that nobody really listens to you. I’m really sorry for decent people like yourself and probably many of your colleagues, who I’m sure are good people in themselves. Tell them that the US is now an ally of Russia - maybe they’ll understand.
Everyone deserves due process, that’s why it’s called due process.
What European allies? Here in Europe, there is hardly anyone left who still sees Trump’s USA as an ally. Embezzling millions from aid organizations intended for starving children doesn’t go down too well here either.
Someone should keep a close eye on this guy, because he could be suicidal. I mean, he probably knows the president and his entire crew pretty well.
All the fantasy characters that my little niece comes up with. There’s Ella, for example, who runs a dinosaur zoo, or Bruno, the cloud architect (he’s not an IT guy).

I don’t want to destroy any illusions, but I don’t believe that much resistance can be expected from the military. The command principle applies here and the president is the Commander-in-Chief. I don’t see why any civil disobedience could be expected here in particular. Besides, it’s not as if those who actually make up the majority of soldiers would have much say in military affairs. If that were the case, there might be a chance, but the military is also run by old, greedy, white men - just like any other US institution.
That’s what I’m getting at: on the stock market today, it hardly matters whether a business model is actually successful or not - or even whether there is a realistic possibility of success. Tesla is certainly a company with sustainable technology. But does that justify Tesla being worth more than the 5 largest car manufacturers combined, each of which sells way more cars per year than Tesla? Especially in view of the considerable competition in the EV market.
The difference, however, is that Ford actually sold a lot of cars. Musk is essentially being paid for the assumption that he will sell a lot of cars. At some point, maybe…
The Trolley Problem meme originates from a philosophical thought experiment that presents an ethical dilemma: whether to pull a lever to divert a runaway trolley, killing one person instead of five. Initially proposed by philosopher Philippa Foot in 1967, it has evolved into various memes that exaggerate the moral choices involved, often depicting ridiculous scenarios to highlight the complexity of ethical decision-making.
And so it begins…
Edit: …or ends, depending on the situation.
Unfortunately, only for their own benefit.
Probably not unimportant even for you: the fact that women’s right to self-determination regarding abortions has been effectively abolished in the US. This of course contradicts any civilizational progress and cannot be interpreted as anything other than a severe violation of human rights - I would never have thought that this would be possible in any Western country, but what do I know.
It doesn’t stop there - not by a long shot. I don’t even want to go into the illegal circumstances under which the USA operates a barbaric torture prison in Guantanamo Bay, or the numerous crimes against humanity that the USA has committed over the years. For the moment, let’s stick to the things your fascist government is up to.
The Trump administration’s policies have raised significant concerns regarding human rights both domestically and internationally. Key areas of restriction include:
Immigration and Asylum Rights: Policies have dismantled protections for asylum seekers, expanded immigration detention, and criminalized immigrant communities. Refugees have been blocked from entry, and asylum applications by undocumented migrants have been banned, violating federal law[1][2][4].
LGBTQ+ Rights: Executive orders prohibit transgender individuals from serving in the military and deny federal recognition of transgender identities, mandating recognition only of binary sexes[1].
Birthright Citizenship: Efforts to end birthright citizenship for children of undocumented parents could render many children stateless, affecting access to healthcare, education, and identity documents[1][5].
Policing and Civil Rights: The administration reinstated “no-knock” warrants and choke holds, increasing risks of police violence disproportionately affecting marginalized communities[2].
International Human Rights Engagement: Withdrawal from the UN Human Rights Council, defunding UN refugee agencies, and sanctions on the International Criminal Court undermine global human rights frameworks[3][7].
Humanitarian Aid: Suspension of development aid and humanitarian assistance worldwide impacts vulnerable populations dependent on U.S. support[1][5].
These actions collectively erode protections for marginalized groups and weaken international human rights systems.
And that’s just a glimpse. If you think the US does not suppress human rights you are plain wrong.
