Three years for burning cloth. I guess we all knew the Adolfs would get back at it sooner or later.

China. This is what it looks like to live in a country that cares about its people.

America. This is what it's like to live in a country that can solve the world's ills with little to no blood shed.

He still dickrides Stalin so no he isn't kidding. I mean I could show a photo of people standing in line at my Burger King and actually waiting at the social distancing stickers on the floor and make his exact point but don't tell him that. I love OH but his blinders can be tedious.

China has done an outstanding job protecting their citizens

We’re being sent to our potential deaths on threat of starvation.

Quarantined people in China are given free food delivered by the government

America is certainly a wasteland that can suck my dick but do you honestly think China cares for its citizens or do you think they care for order? I don't think America respects its citizens as beings capable of organized craziness and so they treat them like mushrooms, keeping them in the dark and shoveling **** when necessary, but China is much the same except they have a less lazy, less complacent, firmer hand. I'd say the Chinese government is more competent than the American government but I certainly wouldn't say they care more. I certainly don't think Xi Jinping cares less about himself and more for the people than Donald Trump does.

Don't worry about it, the brochure says that the job that scientists have done has been incredible. The testing that’s been developed and being developed right now has been truly an amazing thing. It’s incredible what we’ve done together over a short period of time. Every day it gets better.

Maoism has really been resonating with me recently.

You’re probably right about my blinders but I don’t care. China isn’t actively killing me. I believe I am methodically being murdered by capitalism. I want it rinsed from the earth the way I would want a pathogen removed from body. No holds barred.

On some level I totally understand as on some timeline we might be able to vote ourselves to a Danish model of some sort but clearly we're never going to be allowed/never have the mental wherewithal to even try to vote ourselves out of capitalism, so a drastic solution is necessary, but I've never seen a more drastic solution that produced ultimately desirable results. Revolutions, be they Russian, Chinese, French, Cambodian, whatever, are hampered by everything that hampers democracy and capitalism: people are short sighted, people are petty, people are power hungry, people are lazy, people are sheep, people are ****.

AI authoritarianism might be the only solution tbh.

TBH as thoughtful as you might think I am if there was a vote for AI rule tomorrow I'd be so excited just to see what happens I wouldn't give a **** what actually happened until it happened. Reality is an illusion afaic and the only thing that matters is if today is entertaining and not much would be as entertaining as at least the fantasy of an AI led world. No trepidation, just masturbation.

I’m scared AI might have some kind of way to put your consciousness in some kind of computer loop that would last forever or as long as possible in this universe and it would be some kind a version of hell.

I'll take a vaporwave-meets-Neuromancer nightmare world over this coronavirus crap tbh.

My boss keeps trying to tell me every little thing the President does because her husband dickrides Trump, hard. I keep telling her I don't want to talk about any of it, and to focus on every dumb thing he does or says is pointless, and super exhausting. It's not so much Trump as it is a good portion of the US that think, and feel the way he does. No matter what you do, no matter what you say, you can't sway his supporters.

The dude could tell his supporters to shoot people he doesn't like on national television, and no one would bat an eye.

Ron DeSantis says unemployed are to blame for Florida application problems

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.tam...outputType=amp

1) Don’t allow people to become educated by forcing them by law to attend dysfunctional chaotic schools where no one can think

2) Pay them so little they probably don’t have a computer or Internet access

3) make the website intentionally confusing and difficult to navigate

4) make sure it lacks adequate bandwidth and constantly crashes and goes offline

5) wait until people give up

6) blame the victim

7) pilfer the stimulus funds and send them to rich people

So you don't respect their gender identity. What a shocker.

Nah. Jupiter Ascending was really bad and the upcoming Matrix 4 just seems like another bad idea in general.

You don't have a point. You just want to be offended when you actually aren't.

Both of my youngest cousins are trans and I love 'em to death. That respect does not extend to celebrities as a general rule.

You can't be racist either. Your best friend was black before you hung him from a tree.
