There may be republics in the world which operate in a way that is undemocratic in function (democratic here being an adjective), but they

America is not the only place with road rage.
Wtf is wrong with people? Why are people so self-destructive over petty disagreements?
for others to mutually benefit. The stark difference in the lives of Afghans before and after the U.S. withdrawal is evidence of that.
Yes, that was my point. But nonetheless, many Europeans benefited from the American advance in the west. Purpose doesn’t have to be selfless
Unfortunately militaries no longer fight in rural fields with scheduled parlays.

It seems like parents are the ones demanding that schools not have mask mandates. Which is just…the height of moral depravity.

You think the U.S. only liberated Europe for the Europeans? It doesn’t matter. Wars are not monolithic in purpose.
Ah, I see now. You’re an idiot. Oh well.
