BROOT

Stretch before you reach, friend. Giving a country a massive amount of weapons to defend its own borders is far from imperialism.

I think contextually that’s a little bit different. Austria has some material that could be, without much effort, tied to supporting nazism banned.

Literally not. Most of the worlds semiconductor manufacturing happens in Taiwan and you need semiconductors for damn near anything electronic these days. China knows that and won’t risk it. Not to mention the economic hell that going to war with the US would cause.

And everyone said the real estate market was untenable! Who knew you just had to get virtual real estate!?

god I hope it’s all of them.

I guess “working frontal lobe” is a pretty high bar these days, you’re right. The 2 people who downvoted you seem to lack them, that’s for sure.

I would disagree, and cite that a BUNCH of the worlds oldest poetry and art all comes from Eastern civilizations. We are herd animals by instinct, but self expression as a default setting has to be stamped out through long term systemic violence.

Imagine the beauty of being part of something so wonderful and huge beyond the individual! Everyone from HK could have the pleasure of participating in the mass genocide of Chinese minority groups or forced relocation to work camps!

Bold of you to assume I’m big enough to stretch my underwear

A government that bans a song is definitely the good guys, right? …right guys?
