Yeah liberal support for any cause is only to the extent that it advances imperialism. If it ever comes into conflict then their facade gets dropped in an instant.

Really, liberal activism is the modern form of the white man's burden: Our society is progressive and free. Their society is backwards and tyrannical. So it's our duty to "civilize" them.

Western media is doing its routine song and dance and all the usual suspects are out in full force, but I've been surprised by the amount of opposition by regular people. Waaaay more people are showing support for Palestine than was ever given towards Russia. It kinda makes me hopeful it kinda makes my stomach churn... I don't know.

Yeah it bothers me how much libs will equivocate between definitions when asked about capitalism. Sometimes it's markets, other times it's commerce or ownership or freedom or human nature itself. These aren't the answers you give when you know what you're talking about, it's what you say when you want the people questioning you to shut up. Capitalism is whatever it needs to be to uphold the status quo.

btw I think you meant extinct instead of extant

Huh? American TV is very Christian - sex and drugs are usually only brought up when they're being used to teach the audience a lesson about how they're sinful. It's rare when they're mentioned in another context and even more rare when they're discussed without euphemism.

Try making one with neocities! Just throw some HTML together and you're basically a developer.

If you see something cool on a website, you can usually right click then Inspect Element to steal that code for yourself.

I feel you. I've had some success in making my family less prejudiced by explaining what they have in common with the people they're shitting on and how we could have easily been in their position. But if your mom thinks she's separate from and above everyone else then idk what you can tell her to reconsider.

If she's complaining about the government giving too many handouts despite being unable to name any and being on unemployment herself then the issue isn't about evidence. There's probably no amount of statistics or explaining that will change her mind.

So what do you think is driving her to be that way? Is it just bigotry? (likely)

"Ambos los hacen" means "both do it". Do what? idk

Judging by the comments here it seems like everything in that bottom part is wrong hahaha. A better translation would be "Ambos son"

Biden sucks too though and no one here's gonna defend that piece of shit. COMHASH is getting dislikes for being pro-Trump instead of anti-lib

No free market? No competition? No capitalist innovation?? It's time for westerners to activate their racism in order to make sense of this.

On one hand yeah, USians are the most propagandized people on Earth. But on the other hand, they're not that dumb. Recruitment rates are falling for a reason, everyone knows what the military is really for and what it's doing abroad. The people that enlist are generally those who come from military families or who want the benefits.

Sorry if I don't sympathize with those who are ok with subjugating/murdering other people for their career. Or to make Dad proud or whatever

The US doesn't really have dirt on China so they have to reuse stale propaganda. It's a testament to how deeply incurious (or callous) Americans are that they fall for it (or play along).
