I don’t get why hexbear has suddenly decided that kamala is going to win. Yes, she has a better chance than Biden, but it’s still basically just a coin toss.

It’s amazing to me that democrats can watch a genocide for nine months, and do nothing but make excuses, but one debate with grandpa has them freaking out. I didn’t even watch the debate. Anyone invested in that guy before the debate was just as cooked as he is. I just caught a few clips and spent a few minutes laughing through hexbear’s reactions, as is proper.

It’s okay to murder children overseas but not in the USA (unless they are Black or brown, then it’s fine).

My two cents on this issue: I'm a white dude who taught ESL in South Korea for years, I married into a Korean family, I speak Korean, I also haven't been in South Korea for seven years. What I'll say is: it's hard being a woman in South Korea, and there is little reason to get married if you happen to be one.

You're expected to work a prestigious full-time job, provide for your husband (sex, three meals a day, therapy), have two kids (hopefully boys, and you might get an abortion if your doctor genders your fetus as female), and also, on top of all of this, you need to care for your husband's elderly parents, sometimes intensively.

As for the men, their situation also sucks, but the ones shifting to the right are choosing to blame the real victims (women) rather than the system (and the American occupation) that has put them in this shitty situation. Men need to spend about two years of their youth in the military, where they are abused (your buddies hold you down while your CO spits in your mouth), and where you run the risk of dying or getting maimed in an "accident."

In high school, everyone needs to be on campus at 8AM, and people aren't really allowed to leave until 9PM, five days a week. They get six hours of sleep each night, possibly giving themselves brain damage from sleep deprivation, catching up on sleep in class (teachers don't care) or on the weekend. Men also face poor job prospects (it's almost impossible to get into a "good" school or get a "good" job) and a more or less pointless existence in a country that has been occupied by the USA since 1945. I’m not excusing their rightward shift, I’m just trying to provide a little perspective. People there are generally in favor of the DPRK (leaving it alone, at the very least) but they hate Japan, China, and the USA. Rightwing presidents tend to end their careers in prison; liberal presidents usually give money to the DPRK and are therefore better than standard Western liberals. Even if South Korea is part of the imperial core, it's right at the edge, and has come very close to a successful lasting communist revolution multiple times since 1945.

It was possibly the funniest thing that has ever happened.

How is it possible for the Democrats to be more rightwing?

Nobody in the imperialist countries will care tho because the imperialist ruling class is constantly trying to recruit Vietnam into an anti-China alliance. I know China and Vietnam have their issues but I suspect (or hope) Vietnam is just playing along to see how much free shit they can get from the USA.

It's also funny how there was so much outrage when Trump met Kim Jong Un, but even chuds (AFAIK) just do not give a shit about Biden sitting beneath what appears to be a solid gold colossal bust of Ho Chih Minh.

How would this look like and what kind of casualty rate would you expect as Russia would profil their fantasies of removing Ukrainian culture and erasing their nation from history?

Which Russian leaders have said this? Cite sources or fuck off.

Americans generally being unaware of how far their country has fallen behind the rest of the world in virtually every respect (except sucking). Despite increasingly obvious problems that intensify every day, large numbers of Americans believe that American “democracy” is the end of history and as good as it gets. If you criticize their country, they will blame the other major political party (even if both major parties have indistinguishable far-right policy outcomes since they are both owned entirely by the bourgeoisie) or say that other countries also have problems, ignorant of the fact that those problems are either less severe or caused by the USA. Either that, or Americans will assume that you are a paid shill or insane, since no one on Earth could possibly have a legitimate reason to despise America. American ignorance is profound and purposeful even among highly educated Americans. Americans believe the shittiness and backwardness of their country, the half lives even the happiest and most successful among them live, to be humanity’s permanent and ideal state.

See my profile, I’ve been arguing with a bad person about this for days. “But Russia is also bad, therefore I must pretend to be above the fray, even though all of my words and actions and thoughts support amerikkka!”

Nope. Enjoy the poop! If you don’t like it, you can always return to your fellow school shooters at reddit! pigpoop

Birds are cool (hexbear.net)
submitted 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) by duderium@hexbear.net to c/chapotraphouse@hexbear.net

Because birds don't give a fuck about private property. They perch wherever the fuck they want. Some birds are apparently as "intelligent" as children, but I think they're actually way smarter than the bourgeoisie specifically because private property and national borders are all meaningless to them. The entire natural world is anarcho-communist and even Homo sapiens was like this for 95% of our time on Earth.

"No, actually you're wrong because birds have territories they defend and therefore capitalism is natural and we should all embrace it."

Really? Do birds enslave other birds to make money? Do they ever eat more food than they need? I don't fucking think so.

Also, birds are complex. Some are loners. Others hang out together. Sometimes different species even hang out together.

There are also far more bird species on Earth than there are mammal species. In some ways the reign of the dinosaurs never really ended.

When I lived in the American puppet state of "South Korea" I remember hearing about the wildlife in the DMZ and how certain birds there would fly back and forth between the DPRK and the "ROK" because they didn't give a fuck about the border. Based fucking birds.

Also, sometimes I saw spoonbills in the "ROK." That was really cool.

Right now there's a bunch of bluejays freaking out about something just outside my house. They get super active when it rains for some reason. That's why I'm writing this.
