the new local prices shit doesn't make any fucking sense like I guess I have to literally make tools IN this province for them to be cheap enough for people to actually want to use them? I don't fucking know. Don't explain it to me I don't care I'll figure it out
the dow jones saw its shadow so there'll be 6 months of nuclear winter

i took texas as a beachhead to invade the U.S. to force recognition as a great power, which I'll do as soon as I get my munitions plants up and running :^]
and the very first thing I did was build a university there to educate the savages
Israel cutting off vital infrastructure to Palestine is literally worse than Russia doing the same to Ukraine because they literally stated they were going to do it. I don't think Putin ever issued a statement that they were going to starve and terrorize Ukrainian civilians
once i binged a shitload of adderall for 3 weeks to paint a realistic oil painting of a cat for my ex to try to win her back. It was a very good painting, amazing imo with my lack of training
It wasn't even of her cat though i literally googled cats and copied one. Idk what I was thinking. She just always wanted me to paint something that wasn't abstract lol
No it didn't work but she still has it 11 years later so that's nice at least
BROKE THE 50 STROKE PER MINUTE BARRIER
I'M DIZZY
Behold the results of my locomotive power
Most i've rowed, at the highest resistance
How did i do it? I row a lot
hahah oh my god are you fucking ignorant, jesus christ
the unspoken (hell, sometimes spoken) assumption is that China would be doing a lot better with a Western-style neoliberal economy, which is an extremely funny assertion when all these economies are doing even worse than China is
if this dogshit blind ideologically poisoned take were even remotely accurate we'd have seen India, Russia, etc making gains against poverty that China has. Instead, woops.
My understanding is that literally almost all global gains against poverty have come from China, you know the gains against poverty neoliberals like to attribute to neoliberalism?? Haha it's all been in China. China actually plans and builds infrastructure for people to use and live in. Remember all the articles about Chinese ghost cities, with the implication being that China was building a bunch of useless buildings to juice their GDP? Yeah people live in those now.
Something like 95% home ownership? Etc etc etc etc.
oh no, beijing's repressive political system, if only they had our blessed American government they could be grinding the working class to the bone so much better ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐
Working at the dmv and talking about how incompetent bureaucracy are isn't the kind of talking we're talking about
Go work for a railroad and try to organize a general strike and tell me how safe you feel
At least I can speak freely and scream from the rooftops about the shitty parts of the US
Someone's never heard of the Free Speech fights.
You can and will be jailed just for saying shit, if people start to listen to you and you're saying the wrong shit. Your "freedom of speech" is as worthless as used toilet paper the moment a judge decides to issue an injunction against you i.e. the strikes in Harlan County in the 70s had judges jailing people for using the word "scab."
Also fun fact I learned today, remember the Kent State Massacre? People were ordered to apologize for being shot just to get compensation, which only covered legal defenses. Land of the fucking free, lmao
Leaking confidential information, as damning as it may be, is illegal.
When your life is made illegal, what're you gonna do, liberal? Roll over for the bourgeois state like a good boy?
Fun fact, the origin of "whataboutism" was its use as the phrase "whataboutery" during the Troubles in Ireland as the Irish accused the British of atrocities only to be dismissed as "whataboutery"
Weird how it's always used as a thought terminating cliche to prevent criticism of the dominant empire, huh!
Good thing it only works on idiots like you
