this one is a way better answer than mine, I’m taking notes. Bravo, wordsmith 🫡

lol well when you just google the Wikipedia definition of something it seems pretty dang cool now doesn’t it? Doesn’t change the fact that global US hegemony thru NEO LIBERAL capitalism is a destructive, exploitative and genocidal right wing white supremacist ideology that has caused untold suffering and relies on stealing the resources of other countries (violently, may I add) to maintain US supremacy. And this is usually, not always, done against non white people. Hence the white supremacist part… Since ww2 alone we’ve invaded like 50 countries.

Those don’t seem like bad concepts. I can’t see how consent of the governed, political equality, equality before law, individual rights, and liberty are bad when applied to individuals.

because they are not inherently “bad ideas”. The world isn’t drawn in black and white, good vs evil. Under US electoral laws American Citizens do not have real democracy. We have a false sense of democracy that is controlled by lobbying (money) corporate/private power (money) and agenda based nepotism (money)

This is the problem inherent in capitalism. Sure we have great freedoms of speech and information at our fingertips but you can’t just hand wave away the destruction brought upon the world by right wing capitalist Neo liberalism by saying “well Wikipedia says it’s actually cool and based, so what’s the problem?!”

Thanks! I’m extremely lucky my parents are both in great health, so I’m focusing on being happy w them. My dad has a strong spirit. He gave up smokes in the 80s. For anyone it may help reading, quitting feels awesome after a while. It’s so worth it in the long run. Just think of how much longer we could have had some of our favorites: Lenin, David Lynch, the list goes on

You don’t understand the scope. It was hundreds of thousands. It was hundreds of millions. Evil Chinese communism knows no bounds and will consume all. I will take all your social credit points now for myself, silly American

I almost smoked over the weekend, found out we lost my grandmother on Saturday morning , still haven’t picked one back up. Starting a new job this weekend too, after the strike on the first, Almost gave myself the excuse that I’m stressing so might as well.

I can put it this way, my grandmother lived a beautiful long life, created wonderful paintings and ceramic vases, career artist, never smoked once in her life and lived to be 95. My grandfather smoked like a chimney, passed about 15 years ago, I think he was about 80. Makes a youngin’ think

I heard it was millions, and that evil communist xi xingping plans of doing it again and name it the scary communist leap forward after his favorite scary communist dictator mowz dong

I don’t think you understand this conflict as well as you’re pretending to. I don’t really understand it thoroughly but I do understand way more than “Russia attacked Ukraine out of nowhere because they’re evil” which is usually followed by “Putin is evil and also a communist and wants to bring back the USSR which is evil”

pissing into the wind now cuz u caught a ban though. What a shame

Smoking cigarettes isn’t dangerous to everybody in your vicinity only to second hand smoke and it’s kinda disingenuous to pretend the danger to society from the two is comparable. And like I said I smoked for over 10 years and I’m gen z. Society makes it look cool but I should have listened to my mom the whole time.

Idk if it’s really helpful to the convo but As someone who quit smoking less than a year ago after 10+ years I wanna say raising the price won’t help people not smoke. The amount of money I threw at my smokes was just someothing I always budgeted in and it just kinda fucks over poor people who are gonna smoke no matter what. I don’t think this full ban is really gonna do much for already existing smokers. Of course if the cost of selling cigarettes was more than the profit we could get somewhere but at the end of the day every industry would benefit from ditching profit based economics. Thats why I’m a leftist I guess

I’m not high yet because I haven’t left work

fitting because a blank sign would sum up your world view entirely, it seems.

So you’re saying you would willingly die for NATO ideals?

fitting username. Bleached mind. Some of y’all live in fantasy land😂😂😂

Oh n-n-n-no! D-d-d-don’t call me a t-t-t-t-TANKIE!! 😱👻

No offense but I assumed that was your analysis of this post. It’s not supposed to be ironic it’s just nafo-type bullshit

… Ukraine bad? Yo, this image presents an ideal vision being UKRAINE IS THE ENTIRETY OF RUSSIA. I don’t know how you interpret that even from this post being here. lol what the fuck…? the OOP is just ridiculous and it’s being made fun of why do you see that as Ukraine being attacked?? Do you also not see the map of China in the image???

As someone who loves smokin me some weed is there any info i could read on ussr relationship with growing/using cannabis? I know China doesn’t really take too kindly to it, which sucks, I hate that any country will let you get drunk off your ass and choke down cigarettes but will criminalize weed. Not shame to China I’m a #1 Stan in just curious, I’d be curious to know more about weed & China too

I’m not crazy brushed up on my fallout lore but I know that the general timeline is the exact same as the real world but the fallout universe splits when (in real life) the microchip was invented, instead of that (in the fallout universe) they focused on atomic nuclear energy instead of making computers smaller. I think it’s generally the same even after as far as presidents go, there are mentions of Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, etc. but it might be similar to the Elvis case in universe where there’s not much information left on these people so it’s hard to learn about and the average person in the wasteland probably barley understands what a president is

Walmart has cheap shit. I hate going to Walmart but I like buying cheap shit to feed myself with. Yes it’s low quality, and yes I actually kinda hate going in there. It’s too fucking big, corporate sanitized all white floors and roof, I hate that stupid fucking Walmart radio station they have, I could go on all day. I would love if Walmart as a corporation fell today. In fact I hope it does. I hope they all do one by one slowly and miraculously so we (the people) can pick up the pieces and use the resources and networks they have to feed people and stop relying on imperialism abroad altogether. Is that a good enough answer or are u just gonna whine more and call someone a tankie?

Check this one out dudettes & duderinos ! In the 80s, the Philadelphia police department moved a bunch of dangerous bombs away from a civilian center! Look up “1985 Philadelphia move bombing” for more cool epic factoids!
