This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Yes, that's definitely part of it. It's not perfect, but if you think the English speaking world is a disaster you should try living in a developing country.

I have done mission work in Africa and South America, their family cultures are more intact than the west. Sure the governments are more fucked but we're heading there at a rapid pace

But we don't have the family unity or social cohesion to band together against fascism right now, so in many ways our situation is worse than any but the most warlord aggrieved countries.
