  • They’re both bad. China is full of pollution issues (though admittedly making progress), global blackmail (well mostly Africa) and terrible (virtually non-existent?) privacy. And a totalitarian capitalist state.

    USA is an Idiocracy also full of pollution issues, mind numbing idiocy, and a declining imperialist empire full of (and I really can’t emphasize how many) idiots that’s a cancer spreading fascism and oligarchy.

    Finland is, well, here. The Prime Minister did some corruption with an ice hockey stadium, but that’s recent and we’re waiting to see if he’ll be jailed. If he isn’t, we’ll be joining the ranks of corrupt capitalistic oligarchies I suppose, but we’ve had an okayish track record so far. Never invaded other countries (USA and to a much lesser extent, China) or tried to annihilate others (Taiwan).

    This is like expecting the king to persecute themselves in medieval times.

    It’s not even conjecture but actually proven - multiple times, even including through a scientific journal - that the ultra wealthy are the ones writing the law in the USA. Americans wouldn’t see justice through the legal system. Heck their president has violated the law multiple times and gotten virtually nothing. That’s not counting all the others who have broken the law and received no or virtually no punishment, like Elon Musk.

    I’m not the person you’re responding to, but if I did still live in the USA, my parents would completely understand, since they’re from El Salvador originally and had to leave when the government there started the civil war and called the USA for backup in murdering people who just wanted to be paid enough to eat or be worked to death in the fields like one of my uncle’s.

    So good for you that you’ve lived such a cushy pampered life that you can even think the way you do. And pray that the building anger there, or wherever you may be, never boils over because of rising injustice. Because asshats like you will be included in the fires that break out. And unlike those who’ve suffered, you’re nothing more than a weak sapling when hard times come, and your survival then will have been by chance if you are so lucky.

    So go ahead, egg those people on. They’re the ones more likely to be just fine when hell breaks loose. You only encourage your own misery when you try to push them further. Even places like Russia are starting to see their dues come in, so not even being a paid troll will be safe for long. Righteous fury is slow to build but impossible to stop once it explodes.




  • In fairness they might have seen her in her asian phase, or country white phase, or latina phase… She’s basically been a chameleon.

    It’s due to that that I’m not sure at this point if this is also a phase she’s doing for attention and next she’ll do fat girl since she ran out of races to cosplay as. She hasn’t exactly been a reliable source.


  • 69?

    Most say it’s better because it has a meaning of some sort, even if crass. Kind of how “fuck” has survived hundreds of years because it’s based on a meaning.

    I know 67 is funny for it’s absurdism in meaninglessness, but it’s very likely it’ll be a fad that dies for the same reason, as future generations won’t give it as funny since it doesn’t have meaning. Things like 69, while crass, might still be picked up by an even younger generation, and 420 will probably stick around since it’s already been passed on multiple generations. 42? Maybe. It’s essentially a scifi trope, so it might stick around too, especially with AI becoming prevalent.


  • You’re probably too young to know what 69 means I guess based on your responses, let alone ever had the chance to do a 69, so fair enough.

    And I guess weed is much more legal these days than before, so less need for a code number.

    42 is what you were thinking of with your first answer btw, and it’s the meaning of everything.

    1337 you might come across if you start coding. 1ts M0r3 0utd4t3d.
