In North Korea, the security forces have no legal obligation to actually stop crime or protect citizens, even if the incident is happening right in front of them while on duty. They are more concerned with enforcing party principles, protecting oligarchs, and the status quo.

Well about 2500 years before the events of Dune, they also had the idea to advance technology.

Unfortunately it went so terribly that humanity was almost hunted to extinction and the creation of thinking machines are now banned in every part of the empire!

My brother in leftism, it can be both. They can be homegrown fascists that are in bed with Putin.

If you seriously don’t think the NRA is a Russian proxy, you have not been paying attention at all.

A dozen senators don’t fly to Moscow on the 4th of July to courier a handwritten letter to Putin just for fun.

Russians hacked both Dems and Repubs and yet only released the Dem files.

Along with the literal thousands of other blatant links between them.

You are reverting to the capitalist brainwashing that has been repeated to you for your entire life.

Nobody is arguing that a grocery stocker requires less skill and training than brain surgery. Literally nobody. And yet you people repeat this idea over and over.

I mean this not as an attack on you but a chance to expand your worldview. Cognitive dissonance hurts, and it’s important to recognize when it’s happening so you can ask further questions.

There is no such thing as an “unskilled worker” because all jobs require skill. It’s called human skill, and it’s what enables us to build societies greater than the sum of its citizens.

The logical conclusion you are suggesting is that because some humans are less capable, they don’t deserve basic needs such as a home, reliable transportation, internet, food, utilities, etc.

And if your basic premise starts with the notion that society should not be meeting the basic needs of its people, then there’s only one thing that would convince you anyway.

I’m hearing a lot of OG Homeworld fans turned off by this one.

Instead of retaining unique charm, they spent a shitload of money on generic video game story #6 and generic wet-looking cutscene render #4.

Simultaneously, many core gameplay mechanics were dumbed down and made more palatable for the masses.

It’s a tough pivot to make, but what else are fans of the genre gonna play hahahah

Liberals pulling out a Merriam Webster definition and acting like they’re the holy good guys while making no effort to understand what liberalism even is…

Is such a liberal move I’m not even surprised anymore.

Enjoy your right wing echo chamber, real funny how that always happens when liberals and fascists get in a room together.

These .world comments are fucking wild. Really telling that the are the same people desperately trying to convince the LBGT vote while posting bigotry in the next breath.

Every time I go to (regional fast food chain) or Taco Bell or something, the line is about 1/5 poors and the other 4 are almost always a $70,000 truck or one of those ridiculous circular BMW/Benz SUVs or a decidedly non-base model Tesla.

The US has reached the point where the “haha look at the poors” food is consumed by the rich and the poors are, well…

It’s honestly hilarious how Americans refuse to wake up to class consciousness, desperately shouting about how all the other countries have it so much worse.

Even the village idiot in Iraq knows the TV media is all propaganda. Meanwhile, US corporations spending millions on campaigns against state bills is completely normal and people actually trust the signs they put up.

Lol. Lmao. This ships going down and taking the whole world with it.

The US figured out if you run a reign of terror stomping out all thoughts more left-wing than Mussolini, gutting the (formerly) famous bastions of international science on US soil, chasing professors out of universities, and suppressing all contrary thoughts with prison, nobody is left to fight back.

Weird how the libs will screech about the cultural revolution while ignoring which country successfully did it first…

I mean if you’re going to do a reign of terror and ruin millions of lives, at least come out the other side with actual benefits lmfao.

For all the evil it came with, China went from agrarian peasants to world leading scientists and cities. The US… well, lol.
