Hey friend. Your comment reads as peak smug absurdity-as-argument — You mix bad analogies, pseudo-clever sarcasm, and a bonkers nationalist caricature, and try to pass it off as deep insight. Your rhetorical style signals more of a need to perform than to engage.

If your point is that Switzerland only exists because it keeps other people out, that’s a wild misread of how the country functions. Swiss cohesion isn’t built on mutual hatred or fear — it’s built on cooperation despite internal differences. The Swiss cantons are linguistically and culturally diverse, yet they manage to function through a shared system of governance and mutual respect. That’s the exact opposite of a hate-based foundation.

And saying hatred can be a “foundation” is like claiming you can build a house on quicksand if you just pour enough concrete on top. Maybe it stands for a bit, but it’s a constant maintenance problem — not a model of strength.

If you want to defend hate as a basis for meaningful connection, you’ll need more than glib remarks and half-baked metaphors.

How is this real? He can’t really think that’s a reasonable statement to make in reality, right? He has an inkling of how tone-deaf he is, right?!

Hatred might feel like a bond, but it’s not one that actually lasts once the target disappears. It’s entirely dependent on an external “enemy.” That kind of connection isn’t about each other — it’s about not being someone else. That’s thin.

You’re not really bonded to the person next to you — you’re just reacting to the same thing. Yeah, siege mentality works to rally people, but that’s not the same as forming meaningful relationships. It’s a short-term trick, not a foundation.

Real connection requires something internal — shared values, trust, mutual investment — not just shared scorn. When the hate runs dry, there’s nothing left holding the group together except maybe paranoia and infighting. “We’re not them” only gets you so far before people start turning on each other too.

Through sport, they bond over white nationalist ideologies, SPLC said.

I feel like bonding over shared hatred doesn’t really create any kind of real bond.

Not for trump. He doesn’t feel things like humiliation the way regular people do.

Not if you don’t admit it to yourself and others!

Get rid of it!

Because Florida didn’t have enough gap-toothed rednecks already….

“You don’t gotta force it and take away people’s choices. But the whole crux of the issue is you should be able to make decisions on the basis of informed consent.” “Forcing this in the water supply is trying to take that away from people who may want to make a different decision rather than to have this in water,” DeSantis added.

Next they should ban Oxygen. Because forcing oxygen into the air is trying to take away the informed consent of people who want to make a different decision than to breathe it in.

For those of us who were confused: no, we were not ever shielded by this rule. It was a new rule that hadn’t gone into effect, and now never will.

It’s terrifying

You just described end-stage capitalism

I feel personally attacked

I don’t trust Mark Zuckerberg to not replace all therapists with AIs trained exclusively on his childhood diary.

I wouldn’t trust Mark Zuckerberg to not create an AI that slowly rewrites your internal monologue.

I wouldn’t trust Zuck not to breed an army of hyper-intelligent raccoons trained in lock-picking and subtle social manipulation, release them into major urban centers, and then deny all involvement as he watches the chaos from a floating sensory deprivation tank wired directly into a dolphin’s brainwaves. (I may or may not be in favor of this one)

I love me some time travel!

This is one of the most Japanese things I have ever heard.

They really missed an opportunity to call the containers Jars

I can’t pay with interpretive dance?! I shall not be frequenting this establishment. Good day to you.

In the US too?! We’re saved!

Certainly not on the lawmakers. The bank leopards hold them in very high regard, I’m told.
