China has always absorbed other people into our culture, sometimes not even on purpose. Even conquerors get absorbed. The heirs of Genghis Khan, the Scourge of Heaven, assimilated into Chinese culture within a couple generations. Xianbei, Khitan, Manchu, etc. The Khitans, despite warring against China on and off for over a hundred years, immediately declared itself the Liao dynasty, adopted the Chinese legal system, folk religion and invented a very Chinese inspired writing system (which to me looks like an AI hallucination of Hanzi) as soon as they secured a kingdom.

There was a period of time after the fall of the Ming when the Korean Chosun dynasty referred to itself as "소중화" (lit. Little China) because they considered themselves to be more Chinese than the Manchu. There was a Korean Emperor who was Chinamaxxing in the 1600's.

Hasn't the continent of Africa suffered enough??

The humane thing to do is to launch him into space, where he yearns to be. He can have the distinction of being the first human on Mars, just tie him to the front of a rocket and aim it vaguely at the direction of the reddest thing in the sky. If it happens to be the afternoon sun, so be it, he was the one to cut funding for qualified scientists after all.

They actually admitted KIA instead of MIA/POW of Poseidon?

The Military Industrial Complex could have swayed Trump to do a Caligula and wage war against the ocean. Just firing miniguns at the waves, drone striking ice bergs, woulda been hella profitable.

Edit: nvm recovered alive.

An over correction. Previously, the two parties would decide on a candidate behind closed doors then start campaigning in August.

Then, some good faith people and some corporations stood up and was like "Hey, that means we have no say in who the party selects to be the nominee" so they have their whole primary system to allow for corporations and weirdos who vote in the primary to participate in "democracy"

But then in those days, people had to go around in hot air balloons made out of racism and asbestos as their main mode of transport, so each state's primaries are spaced out because candidates had to take forever to go from state to state (except some that happen on the same day).

And because running a candidate is expensive, each of the potential candidates have to allow time to get corporate donors (or rarely, grassroots support)

So the process went from 6-8 weeks to several months.

And then the capitalists saw the revenue generated from simply covering the primary races. Those ad spots from the campaigning candidates themselves aside, they could run ads next to reports or footage of the debates.

And then they thought "wow, wouldn't it be better if we started covering the race even earlier in the year??"

And now the circus is in town for basically a whole year every 4 years, meaning libs and chuds spend 25% of their time on earth pretending they live in a democracy when even outside of this absurd system, they have gerrymandering, an electoral college and your vote generally only mattering in a swing state. The other 75% of the time is for treats, which is increasingly consumed out of spite for the voters of the other party.

This type of """political engagement""" is not only accepted, it's promoted by the system because other types of engagement such as direct action actually get things done and the system likes the status quo.

It would be pretty funny if in 2 weeks he updates it to "Prison Snitch at CFI Cumberland" then in 2 months it's "Executive Prison Snitch at CFI Cumberland" then "Patient at CFI Cumberland Infirmary" after getting shanked, then finally "Cadaver at St John's Hospital Cumberland".

I'm assuming the reply is in Arabic because the chud in OP's image is named "Templar" and has the Christian Cross and the English flag.

Burger implies the poster is also unhealthy

This will somehow cause 4th generation Japanese Americans to be rounded up in internment camps. Again.

Sometime in the next few years, an F-35 will crash directly into the South China Sea because the engine spontaneously turned off mid flight.

The liberal media will go onto a news cycle for how the plane should have continued to be able to fly without thrust despite being heavier than air.

The US military will then launch a full scale ground invasion of Isaac Newton's grave, with the justification that gravity is in direct opposition to US state interests.
