institutionalized racism is worse than trudging through snow once in a while
How many black kids went to your highschool? There’s still institutionalized racism in Ohio, it just takes slightly different forms.

Same deal with Lake Placid, NY and Hakuba, Nagano, you ask anyone who’s been in a snow area since the 70s about how impassible people’s yards became from the snow when they were in their 20s. At least Sapporo got snow this year.

Do people actually hold that against you? The worst I’ve had to do was explaining that most Americans don’t support Trump, Elon is a Nazi (they didn’t get the memo in east asia), and then contextualizing whatever other weird impressions they have.

No justice system lets the accused judge their own guilt, but the US admitted those guys were spies.
- Comment on Political discourse 2 days ago:
I just defaulted to USA because it’s where I and (I think) most lemmitors are from.
In any case, it’s trivial not to get abducted and murdered, simply don’t commit espionage.
It’s weird that you only single non-western countries out when most countries treat espionage pretty seriously.
- Comment on Political discourse 2 days ago:
That’s a bizarre claim to make when America has been abducting people, torturing them, and vanishing them, without due process for decades, and I am not aware of such a case happening in any of those 3 countries. Except in 2012, when China caught the CIA’s spy network and charged them with espionage.
As far as the bloody history goes, tge blood is only on the hands of the side that invaded and subjugated them.

wouldn’t go there if you paid me
Why? Vietnam is beautiful, experiencing towns built around bikes instead of cars and being able to buy good meal for 1.20 USD is good for your soul. China is the most developed country in the world right now, and I’m planning to go back in a month or so. I haven’t been, but I hear Cuba has lovely beaches and rum.
Were you under the impression these places were dangerous?
- Comment on Political discourse 2 days ago:
Ah yes, if you oppose capitalism too much, you just start hating minorities. That’s just horseshoe theory. They wouldn’t teach it in schools if it wasn’t true.
Definitely don’t come to China, Vietnam, or Cuba and check for yourself, just trust your government.

Instead of listening to anticommunists from a century ago, why don’t we compare what communists have done in China over 50 years to their neighbor, India? One of those countries exports food for a profit while the children of the laborers who picked that food suffer from malnutrition. Or why don’t we look at life expectancy in Cuba today and before the revolution. You can even compare Cuba to their capitalist ruled neighbors.
To quote (Michael Parenti)[youtube.com/watch?v=xP8CzlFhc14]:
If Communists, if we Leftists, if we Marxists, if we revolutionaries, if we progressives, if we—all we want is to hunger for power, then why do we side with the powerless? Then why don’t we toady up to power? Why don’t we take the road of the Henry Kissingers and the Patrick—Daniel Patrick Moynihans and the Zbigniew Brzezinskis and the Eugene V. Rostows and the McGeorge Bundys, who toady up and mouth for power? When Henry Kissinger was made National Security Advisor for Richard Nixon, Nelson Rockefeller gave him fifty-thousand bucks as a going-away present.

Weird how they brought a billion farmers out of poverty. I wonder why they would do that if those farmers didn’t have any influence.
We certainly don’t see that happening in capitalist countries right nextdoor, such as India.
the remainder is committing their own little genocide at home
lol you still believe that? Anybody can literally go to Xinjiang, there’s no travel restrictions. Don’t you think they would try to keep foreigners from going there and talking to people if they were committing a genocide?

Don’t send them to NL, send them to Vietnam where driving a car as bikes weave around all sides of you is hellishly stressful, but bikes supply the experience cars promised but failed ti deliver, of being able to go wherever you like at a whim and free to park mere feet from mist businesses.

The Seoul metro has level boarding and like a 2 inch gap, I’ve seen old folks drive their scooters right on.

Liberals perceive criticism for enabling the right and opposing the left at every opportunity as left in-fighting.
The left identifies the liberals as part of the right.

They both support Donald Trump, for example.
lmao what?
They both enable ethnostates to send minorities to camps.
lmao what?
They believe in a nation ruled by one supreme absolute leader.
Dictatorship of the proletariat doesn’t mean total rule by one dude named proletariat, it means total rule by the people.

I’m sorry for that. If its any consolation, the dynamics usually change as they get older and more dependent on you.
- Comment on Based and Red Pilled Gigachad, many such cases 😔 3 days ago:
I assumed the US was disseminating right-wing propaganda among the chinese diaspora, given that they do it with every other one.
What does China even get out of turning your parents into right-wing psychos? America gets a community that is happy to work with them against their home country.

The only evidence of this I’ve seen is that his roommate might have been trans, and we all know being in the same room as a trans person makes you a radical left maniac.

lol they can be suprisingly tolerant, only times Ive been stung was when I threw dirt onto one’s home and accidentally grabbed one. When one flew into my motorcycle helmet, he left without stinging as soon as I slowed down.

No, like instead being oriented like a dragonfly, its stinger is pointed down as it zigzags left and right towards you.
- Comment on Mood 6 days ago:
Watch the wasps body language. If it’s flying back and forth, towards you, vertically oriented, its time to get the fuck away. But if you’re just chilling and it lands on you or nearby, its just curious, maybe give it some headpats.

The CIA shot JFK. By accident, Oswald was supposed to just clip JFK’s ear.
