    What have we done to help America? It's going through precisely the same process.

    The Trump administration is corrupt and Trump tells outright lies and runs a mafia and no one is doing anything about that.

    Let China be China.

    Worry more about America. Facebook is slowly boiling the pot across the globe and no one's doing anything about that.

    Trump tells outright lies and no one's doing anything about that.

    You're worrying about something that most people don't care about.

    ... on Feb 7 of this year. It won't go into effect until Mar 9 and I must not log back in because the beast will escape the steely knife.

    I used a program (FBP) to purge ALL of my Facebook data (it was time-consuming) and deleted leftover data manually.

    Then I deleted ... not deactivated. I just know those motherfuckers didn't delete a goddam thing, but I can't control them.

    I'm an amateur photographer, guitar player and singer, and a retired IT guy who can help other people.

    Facebook was a good place to share my work and keep in touch with family, friends, and like-minded strangers.

    I have no replacement. Other social media are not as high profile, but they are just as evil.

    I know that my disengagement doesn't mean a goddam thing to Facebook, but it means something to me.

    It's known as the "Trump Effect," whereby Republicans know Trump is bad for America but can't do anything because an outgoing tide lowers all boats.

    The Communist system is well understood.

    By whom? Certainly not you.

    There are two general systems of communism. The theoretical was the objective of the 60's hippies whereby, in a commune, every person is an equal owner of the product of every member.

    China's "communism," is a misnomer. Try dictatorship.

    The bullshit you're spouting happens in every high school and prison.

    ... history are bound to repeat it; those of us who do are bound to predict it. © CaptainDork.

    Russia is in a place similar to Germany after WWI: They were once great and a superpower and a force to be reckoned with.

    Like Germany then, Russia wants to rise from the ashes. One way to do that is to refurbish the country from within by participating in a global economy and working to lift sanctions from just about every kid on the block.

    Another way is to go full isolationist, spending money it doesn't have on sell-esteem masturbatory strategies that the People don't want.

    The choices Russia is making is boat-anchoring slow in growing their economy. While audacious, it's also inefficient.

    There is no plan.

    There's no need for one-to-one equivalency. For instance, China doesn't care for our batshit crazy gun worshiping, so use that as a substitute, OK?
