Re: The United States withdraws from UNESCO
#43Another tantrum thrown because the world refuses to align with their twisted view. Shocking to thing we're only ~1/8th through this term.
Why fantasize that the GOP isn't going to do a Putin/Erdogan/Suharto? Those countries have "democratic" elections and keep electing the same president, they must be hella great guys!
There are clearly pockets that want to but I'm not sure there's enough support in important areas to actually have a coup like that succeed. Kind of have to wait and see how things develop.

#44And it’s wild to think that more than 1/3 of the devs I’ve met in my life support this admin. These are seemingly smart people. The past 10 years or so made me realize I don’t know anything about human nature or intellect. Edit: I am in no way saying conservatism is bad and liberalism is good. I have my values in both.
I have found the biggest commonality in otherwise intelligent Trump supporters in my life is deep-seated insecurity issues.
The second biggest is a life that hasn't gone how they had envisioned and, rather than take accountability, they blame anything but their choices. Though, I think lack of accountability is a symptom of insecurity, so it is wrapped up in the first issue.

I dont mind the UN building. But as an IR Realist, I find it a bit insulting that the UN pretends it has power. It only is used as moral coating to protect the status quo.

Boring, been here before. UNESCO and world moved on. With some notable declarations like Demoscene and Techno music being added in a number of countries. Too bad those couldn't be added to a US registry also.
