reasoningThought this was a Gulf State at first, but then the distance was all fucky for the middle east and North Africa, so I guessed the petro state I know about in West Africa.

In typical boomer fashion, the people in charge absolutely categorically refuse to think long term, particularly if the long term is more than 5 years.

Haven't been on Omegle or any other site like that for close to a decade, but isn't "show me your genitals" one of the top 3 most common lines on that site? I sort of remember my wife going on there a decade ago and immediately getting like 5 insanely horny guys to help her with her french homework.

The concept of a Cantonese chauvinist is really funny to me for some reason. Like, logically I can resumably guess what it would entail, but it's really funny to draw the line at being compared those godforsaken heathens up in Shandong or in Sichuan

A lot of supposed sensible middle class Europeans have a weird conception about multiculturalism, where they genuinely believe that people who migrate to their countries (or come as refugees) should immediately bow down to the superiority of "European culture", and begin dressing, speaking and acting exactly like majority. I know personally that a lot of the good, decent people I grew up around abhor racism (in the sense that they dislike the overtly fascist parties, of which we have far too many) while still spouting all the same right wing talking points as the far right. They will celebrate in public when the vΓΆlkish fascist party have their worst election results ever, while ignoring that pretty much every party outside of the fringe left have completely adopted their policies.

In the Lenin texts I just sort of gloss over those names. Like you said, those people are long dead and their orgs have been dead and buried since before the russian civil war.

Just replace every instance of "Kautsky" with "Steve" like the goober in the OP

Doesn't Hebrew write like Arabic, where you can just leave out certain vowels, which fucks with a lot of the translation software? In this case, I don't know enough about Hebrew to tell if it distinguishes between U and O in a loanword like Columbia.

Also because all the TV-shows sucked ass and refused to make any real plot-progress for the overarching story, while still somehow making you confused if you missed them.

God bless Utah and it's wahabism for whites. It's legitimately one of the worst state governments and that's fucking saying something

Eh, I think that was more about people realizing that the king of the Gamers(tm) could recognize that there were problems in particular because some of his stories about not being able to afford care for his family was relatable to many (going off memory here, so please correct me if im misremembering).

reasoningFigured this was in the Balkans, then fucked around in both the Balkans and Caucasus before realizing that it was in fact not a former Soviet economy and that Lebanon has a fairly well developed economy, which I wasn't aware of.
