No don’t you see, working manual labor inside an active wildfire for $0.13 an hour so you can buy a $5 Top Ramen to avoid eating the chlorinated sewer runoff they call food (see the infamous prison loaf) is totally different from gulags.
p.s. don’t bother applying for the same job you did for free in prison once you’re out, having a record disqualifies you! Good luck paying rent!
When Seiko beat the Swiss at their own mechanical watch accuracy competitions, they decided to cancel the long running prestigious competition entirely instead of make a better watch.
Capitalism breeds innovation!
My brother in Christ, those are literally not game DLCs. You can just not buy it and still get the exact same game.
Normies genuinely turn on their Smart TV, watch start menu ads, open the YouTube app, wait 90 seconds for the shitty cpu to load the web view, scroll through hundreds of Spider-Man Elsa brainwashing videos and thinly disguised ads, open a video, watch 3 minutes of ads, straight into a 3 minute sponsor segment. All before seeing any actual content.
And they see no problem with this at all, the thought that you can make ads go away literally does not even occur to them as a possibility.
Humanity deserves extinction, I’m gonna go release some refrigerant real quick
In North Korea, the state security forces can just grab you and lock you up for no reason, beating you up, taking your wallet as civil forfeiture, making you lose your job, and dropping you off miles from home with no transportation.
Good thing that could never happen in the US!
The movie was the most milquetoast “both sides bad” propaganda you could make, to such an extent that I’m shocked people are unironically watching this and thinking it’s some deep commentary.
Yeah it’d be crazy if both sides were equally committing heinous crimes.
Except in real life it’s only ever one side screaming about children while filling them with holes and bullying them to death. It’s always one side committing stochastic terrorism, actual terrorism, and attempting to overthrow a democratic government.
It’s always one side that spreads racist, xenophobic, classist garbage. The same side that dismantles education systems, social structures, and economic models that are proven to improve society while saving money.
And for the cherry on top, it’s always the side that liberals align themselves with when the chips are on the table.
unironically hero worshipping literal nationalists
Historical context: the KAL007 incident immediately followed the intrusion and activity of a USAF Boeing RC-135 recon plane that was in literally the same spot earlier that day. This aircraft has the same radar signature as KAL007.
The Soviets, in a hurry to shoot the spy plane signature hundreds of miles off civilian air routes while it was still in their territory (the second time the unresponsive KAL007 crossed it during the flight), shot it down.
Yknow, as regularly and justifiably happens with spy balloons today.
Russia does enough bad shit without the propaganda, going full onion just makes it seem laughable (not saying you are, this is just an extremely common take).
They’re just as ugly as the LV monogram luggage or 20 pound Rimowa carryons and yet nobody gives a shit about those and Crocs have a utility value of being comfortable.
(Side tangent in case anyone tries to convert me to Rimowa. There’s a reason flight crews don’t use them.)
Here’s a hint dear reader: it’s class war. Really weird how it’s always class war.
Even IRL multiple different leaders have ordered MAD in multiple different circumstances, only stopped by some peon committing treason by disobeying launch orders.
You are giving conservatives far too much credit to their intelligence.
Iraq was invaded specifically because they had no WMDs. Any sane ruler would launch when faced with death. Real interesting how the rogue nations with proven nuclear weapons capability are the only ones still standing…
We are talking about a literal fascist dictator.
The person you replied to was certainly rude about it, however the frustration stems from this constant liberal attitude of playing nice, keeping the kid gloves on, letting the SyStEm handle it.
This strategy has never once worked on conservatives throughout all of recorded history.
You refuse to realize these people are playing for their right to kill you, like all this is just some difference of personal opinions.
The 30% that happily watches 30% kill the last 30% never thinks they’ll be in the 30% that stood and waited politely for their turn to die.
