Hardest thing to make Americans see is that this is how we are. We have the best propoganda in the world for our own citizens. They can look at our largest national export of causing pain to brown people, and go that’s not “us”, that’s “them”.

Hate to break it to ya’ll, them is us.

No, I’m the other kind of nihilist, the one that doesn’t know shit!

Yes, participate in a low stakes back and forths cause the ones with data and numbers are too scary, right?

No, I’m pointing out that you’ve added so little to this you may as well have not even posted, look at how much traction the things the other person said are now getting. Why even say anything if you aren’t willing to actually engage, all you’ve done is made the other person look rational and you look obtuse.

Interesting strategy!

Do young people think Jason Alexander is struggling?

So humans are so shitty even if one group is able to miraculously come up with a non-violent society (perhaps partially due to geographic isolation, they will be found by the violent humans?

There’s a really fucked up issue in Korean adoption that was fixed a while back. Basically, once a parent finished the process and had custody of the child in the US, the parent needed to do an additional bit of paperwork to give the child US citizenship.

They closed the loophole a long time ago, but many(20 fucking thousand potentially) adult adoptees don’t even know their parents didn’t bother to finish the process.

Now the Korean international adoption processes is mostly closed, cause it was an exploitive nightmare that was more like selling babies than anything.

And yeah the other are just people overstaying a visa, or stayed past the point of needing a visa. 90 days.

All the people who need to listen to this, won’t.

Bruh, did you believe this or did you just post it in it wrong place.

It’s just another cold war, history books will discuss it as such.

Dropsite is great and Ryan Grim is a treasure.

Linus will continue to show his ass until people are tired of looking at it.

Man, if only they had spent all their campaign money talking about this instead of whatever the hell it is they did, they might have won the election!

Instead of having any sort of resolve, or appearing to actually give a shit about any of that, we got a full centrist push focusing on making it ok for conservatives to vote for a democrat, rather than actually trying to organize their base. The end result is DNC members abandoning LGBTQ and leftist issues. Instead they ratchet right to keep the government moving forward.

Nearly the entire DNC is rotten and will self protect, like this, rather than engage in any actual change.

It’s really incredible, any time I visit Seoul I make it a point to do basically the entire walk. It ends/begins at a beautiful water feature where they’ll have large seasonal art installations and decorations.

Diabolical from Kendrick’s perspective. He got Drake so fucking twisted that the man had hired lawyers to ensure his public downfall is as documented as it can be.

That’s already how farm labor and meat packing/prep treat immigrants and immigrant children right now.

I guess it could get Italian bad, remember this? https://www.theguardian.com/media/article/2024/jul/20/satnam-lost-his-arm-and-was-allegedly-left-to-die-on-the-roadside-this-is-the-horror-of-exploitation-on-italian-farms

Remember when Trump went to fucking truth social, and instead of never hearing his stupid trash, people just rebroadcasted everything he said in a screenshot instead.

I don’t even think it’s this, you look at Twitter and see their American numbers tanking, becoming more like that doesn’t make sense from a business standpoint.

Now look at how every billionaire and big corp is bending over backwards to give Trump money. In his mind, a lot of them were complicit in 2020 for his loss, and everyone knows he looks for revenge.

These people like Zuck have no actual morals, he’s just hanging a sign that says he’s on their side, desperate not to be targeted. This is the same way he acted with Obama, the left just liked it.

I almost don’t have a choice but to be optimistic. There are more prominent people who are to left of the DNC who are going to demand more power. I see that happening now and being rebuffed by the old guard. It’s a matter of time and I hope it doesn’t break the machine entirely, we need the stability of institutions.
