I had a friend tell me that she didn’t learn to read until she was like eight. Ya never really know where people come from. All of our lives are so different.
- Comment on Public transit in Chengdu, China versus Toronto, Canada 3 days ago:
China was invaded by Japan before WW2. Look up the Rape of Nanking if you want specifics. Once WW2 ended China had a civil war. The CCP managed to win and Mao Zedong ascended to power. He led the Cultural Revolution which basically eliminated the old ways of China to pave the way, over the bodies of millions of people, for modern China.

One of the reasons they can build their future so quickly is because they were left in a unique position after WW2 to effectively destroy their past.

Have you heard of the carnivore movement? There are genuinely people saying to stop eating vegetables. It’s probably mostly ragebait, but it exists.
- Comment on How come nobody does anything about North Korea? 1 week ago:
It’s one of the most heavily fortified countries with an extreme nuclear power regime out in the mountains. How could a country like the United States help North Koreans without threatening intense military conflict?
- Comment on Twitch's largest political streamer, Asmongold, shovels racist and xenophobic messaging to his audience of 52K+ live viewers 1 week ago:
What’s worse is now they’ll go onto Twitter to talk to mechahitler (grok). It’ll feed them manufactured lies and it’ll be taken as a fact because these morons see AI as an absolute authority, or maybe as a scapegoat to justify their hateful ideologies. That’s the “info” they’ll be spreading. Already seen it in YouTube comments.

Parasocialites are the biggest rejects or society and are the most likely to fall into the alt right pipeline because they’re unable to get proper socialization anywhere else.

Imagine if Trump got individually 9/11ed
- Comment on no way right 4 weeks ago:
9/11 is a fraction of a fraction of the horror the U.S has unleashed on other countries.
America is a den of self righteous fuckwits.

The money goes to the war hawks, not the teenagers that actually end up fighting and dying. That’s why it keeps happening. People in power put a price and bodies and they’re entirely happy with the payout. Doesn’t cost them a drop of sweat, an inkling of blood, a modicum of effort. Just sign here and unleash those kids to the grinder. Sweet sweet money comes from their deaths. How honorable.

America bombs a country - Great military action
Country attacks back - Insurgent act of terrorism

My stepdad worked hard all his life. He managed to buy his own plane and fly it all around. To some flying up in a plane might seem somewhat insignificant, but most people never get to fly at all.
We’ve only got so much time to get a plane.

I’ve seen douchenozzles on LinkedIn talking about how they make fake reddit threads to promote their product. They acted like it was such a good thing too.

Christians having the right to celebrate Christmas is a political issue.

Everything is political if you really get down to it.
- Comment on More like a bacterial infection imo 5 weeks ago:
The Brits actively shipped beef out of Ireland while people starved. The Brits also forced the Irish to labor in pointless workhouses to “earn” their food. For instance the Brits would force the Irish to build roads that led to nowhere. Apparently those pathways to nothing are still littered around Ireland.
