No thanks.
The US did this. This began in like 1908. Trump wasn’t even born yet. The USA is an evil empire and needs to be ripped out root and branch. Capitalism has to go.
None of this will be fixed without a revolution so bloody Mao would be uncomfortable and the glassing of Israel.
And of those how many simply didn’t agree to the conditions your program required? Curfew, drug testing, work requirements, no company(perhaps)?
Why? The Chinese are in no way my enemy.
Russia was never relevant. The USSR failed.
It was empire
Then feudalism
Then the advent of the ruling of the mercantile class.
Next will be rule by the people.
Except how you look is almost everything in our society.
lol so what? You can convert it directly to horsepower. All energy is the same. It’s Hess law and work.
Very simple really…
China hasn’t finished their revolution yet. That’s their internal business and absolutely none of mine.
It will end up resolving and I’m pretty sure which side will end up winning but ya never know.
Not sure why anyone thinks they get to have an opinion.
I would argue that it isn’t necessarily social media, it’s the internalization of the male defined culture.
This topic is male centric.
The truth is that those boys(and most men) are insecure. I’m a 46 year old man I’ll tell you without a doubt that this stems completely from insecurity.
But so what? Women control the only thing that men want. I promise that women actually have all the power so long as violence and rape isn’t normalized. If women stopped engaging those boys would be on their knees.
All that matters to me, all that matters to the vast majority of men, is sex. Everything we do is a complication of getting sex and controlling women. I have a good job and a nice car and I cook and I work out and blah blah blah to display value to get women.
That’s all we are for, is to add some randomization to the gene pool.
It’s not beyond imagination that they are controlling Russia as well.
That’s a pretty strong claim.
Days are reaaaaalllyyy long without tv or books.
I think republicans is a much better moniker. It indicates exactly who we are talking about.
Your “friends” and family members. All the people who voted for and continue to support this. The people on your socials who continuously move the goalposts and argue in bad faith.
That doesn’t help at all. We are complicit.
No citizenship ever has been in a better position to prevent their government from doing horrible things, and yet we do nothing. We wring our hands and aren’t willing to hurt, let alone die, for what is morally right. The small arms in this country are more than enough to overwhelm the entire place. We have the numbers and the weapons and yes some would have to die. This isn’t even special though, all throughout history people have died for principles, it’s just… we don’t have any.
Have you ever read Of Mice and Men?
Sometimes we have to do hard things.
I disagree with the thinking for yourself part.
I honestly believe that “American independence” has a lot to do with the current state of the system. Bowing to your friends knowledge on a subject is frowned upon. Folding one’s position is seen as weak.
Every day laborer is told they should “form their own opinion”. As if they are anywhere near educated and informed enough to form a conclusion on some of these complex topics.
So that’s one problem.
The next is that money talks. Money informs and money is in the hands of capitalists. They further their ends and have controlled what people thought for a very long time. It is extremely telling to see my grandmother receive the newspaper and go through it like a YouTube conspiracy video. All orchestrated to bring your thought pattern to a predetermined conclusion. Moving forward and backward from there…
What was before that? Town criers? “Go tell the people the news, tell them xyz”.
And after that of course it’s the same just with data aggregation, mining, and algorithms. “Move the opinion 5% in the aggregate in this direction”.
I wish people would be more comfortable identifying experts in their actual social groups and letting people specialize and disperse opinion for the good of the group. They THINK they are but they are not. Often times people sharing something they believe with their friends is not malicious it’s just they are stupid. Like letting me know that the earth is flat this really good guy who is plainly not smart recently did. Like wtf? How does this happen? How do we fix this?
I have no solutions… but independent thought isn’t it I don’t think.
Okay can you share our next moves?
Because my calculus says civil war is inevitable and better earlier than later as they are actively preparing. They will look to build camps and disarm. It should crack off now.
The longer we wait the stronger their position became.
But please if you have a grandmaster mate worked out let’s hear it.
If you play it all out to its logical conclusion you are absolutely right.
Depends what you mean by regular gym goers…
You got the new years people.
You got the regular “schedule 3 days a week” but really go like 2 or 1 and mostly play on their phone.
You got consistently go 3 or 5 days a week.
You got “I go every day no matter what”.
The last two aren’t missing no days.
Fuck that yes it is.
Have you read the Old Testament?
