The global south should start subjecting Westoids to the same visa application humiliation non-Westerners get put through.

. Realistically, it wouldn't harm the working class of the West much since we're too fucking poor to travel anyhow. Wealthy white people are the most common "tourists" from the West.

Gonna be interesting to see this whole situation shakes out. India pulled a Kashogi and it remains to be seen whether the Western blob sees India as being on the same level of strategic importance as Saudi Arabia.

I love the empire's splintering. There's cracks that won't hold forever, so collapsing relations from in-fighting serve to accelerate the weakening of the liberal world's hegemony, and I'm here for it

Of course. Again, I feel ashamed for not catching that the first time around, and apologize.

Expect the US to ramp up protectionism efforts. China's technology is real good and getting better quite fast, but at the same time I'm skeptical of whether or not those of us living in the US will be able to actually benefit once it's clear that China has surpassed them in all respects technologically.

We could all be using Huawei cell towers and phones right now, enjoying end-to-end encrypted cellular correspondence and way fucking better internet speeds, but the US has done everything in its power to keep us frozen in time using dog shit legacy technology that's easy to man-in-the-middle, and also absurdly expensive due to lack of competing infrastructure and arrested national development.

I'd like to have all my electronics 100% sourced and manufactured, patented, etc etc all in and by China. But, like an abusive ex-partner whose mission is to prevent all attempts at your happiness and punish you for divorcing them, I expect the US to block access to such things at some point.

Of course 😊

Anyone claiming moral superiority over 9/11 jokes better have a fucking spotless post history.

Damn right. I swear, it's always these nazi types that attempt to present themselves as the fucking Buddha. Just endless concern trolling and bad faith arguments all around.

Yours has links and emoji flavour, so brava for the extra effort.

Thank you

Oh yeah, they're fucking done. Looks like we had the same idea.

Rescind the treats even after they bleed

Data uses most secure code ever Star Trek TNG

This is crazy. I played Tomb Raider 1-3 on PlayStation waaaay back in the day, and thought it was cool, although terrifying (that butler in 3 scared and haunted the shit out of me).

Fast forward to just a few months ago when I decided to re-watch some gameplay, it genuinely hurt to watch her killing endangered wildlife. I just couldn't feel any redeeming qualities in her after a deep reflection.

Isn't her whole thing supposed to be basically a pirate that steals indigenous artifacts from the hands and nations of the natives, while also showing no regard to the lives of such sensitive wildlife species? She does far more harm than anything else, that I've seen. Reminds me strongly of the legacy of the British Empire and British imperial plundering.

Very sorry you had to put up with such abuse, and I'm glad you found your way here.

There was a whole heap of transphobia and ableism directed my way when I joined

This is referring to Blahaj, right?

Instead of getting banned for being a minority and wanting rights, I changed minds.

We have your back here

I hope you've been enjoying your stay

The only "problem" I have with federation is because you guys swarmed us so bad I see much less Lemmygrad posts xD. Even look at me! I'm more active on Hexbear lmao

Racketeering is quite profitable, which is the inevitable trend of capitalism.
