Is the USA turning into a dictadorship or is it just paranoia?

i've long advocated the end of the world, or more correctly the end of man, as the best solution to the planets problems

You're in a country where the word is spelled "dictador", so what do you want from us?

Why? Nobody would benefit from the extinction of mankind. I always find it hilarious then ambientalists say that it would be better for the planet if man just dissapeared, because there would be no point in there being a planet or life in it without man. As Fido just said, planets dont have problems, they dont give a damn whenever their surfaces are full with life or dead wastelands. Actually, they dont give a damn about anything, and neither does life.

Really? Then what was the point of the planet all those billions of years before anything vaguely resembling a human being appeared less than one million years ago? Was it all just prep for the appearance of this stupendous super-predator we call homo sapiens? If you really believe that, then what's the point of all those other apparently uninhabited planets? That's egocentrism run rampant. (Not to menton that's one of the dumbest posts ever on this or any other thread. Way to go, manored.)

So what are you saying??? That we are the point??? That we are not the point??? Other life???

Life is meaning, and it does not matter what exists anywhere, because we are the ones who witness, even at a distance, and find value, and a point is simply a value, and a meaning... The fact is, that no people equals no point, and the only reason the past of our planet has a point is because we are there to chalk it up... We may see stars in the night sky that have already winked out or nova'ed... What is their point except as ambiance for the drama of our existence???

Didn't Schopenhaur say: The world dies with me??? Or: The world is my idea... Sure, it may still be there without our witnessing it, without conceiving of it, and by doing so, give it meaning.... No life equals no meaning...

I would have bet without hearing from you that you knew the difference between points and dildo's, even if dildos have a point, as you must well know...

We the people of the United States of America are the dictators of our society, that is how capitalism works. The desire for wealth has replaced the American dream with greed and manipulation. We have long since sold our principles down the road for a few dollars more. Corporate greed dictates our lives with our blessing, we only ask for more, more, more. The consumer speaks. So let's all get out there and use up some resources in the name of productivity.

Not following your reasoning on this. There really isn't a point unless you believe the whole deal were created by something with a purpose.

I hear quite a lot of people complaining that their government is trying to dumb down people to control then, trying to watch their ever step, trying to silence protests secretly, and other things dictadorships usually try to do.
And, if it is just paranoia, then do you think the american people have gotten too paranoic or this apparent paranoia is actually just a few very loud people?

Americans have always held protests, especially over the past two years. I haven't heard much talk, seen much evidence that we're being dumbed down so we're controllable.

I decided to make this thread after I saw a video about thumbscanning implemented into an american school. I was kinda shocked at the fact that the poster and the huge majority of the commenters were deeply shocked by this, claiming it was against civil rights, that is was proof of that the USA was now a dictadorship, that it was the end of the world, etc.

Is that all the evidence you needed, a video about thumbscanning? Because of that we are a dictatorship? Actually, American parents don't like anyone doing anything with their children without even informing them, asking them for permission. Calm down. Maybe you are hoping this country will collapse, fail, die, fade away

No, that's not what I'm saying at all, rog. The other fella said that without man's presence there is no point. My point is that man's presence or absence here is not the point, if there should be a point to the whole shebang. It's elevating the importance of the human species back up to where we were in the Middle Ages, i.e. just below the angels.I don't believe man has any more importance here than a mollusk. We are a predatory, parasytic species.
