The problem is China is right there, and a lot of parts of Russia used to have Chinese names.

Mostly, Siberia is literally infinite resources, the kind of thing China desperately needs.

Their unlimited supplies of Russian delusions of superiority.

I mean, obviously.

Hayes boys represent.

All I can say is that it isn't all of us.

The south have been like this since the founding, we took away their slaves and they never forgave us.

Unfortunately social media means they aren't contained in their hell hole anymore, and we no longer have the strength to stop them.

I don't see how all the responses aren't Anthony Mackie in altered carbon s2.

Meh, made it a few times.

Some images treat volumes differently .

Looking at you, nextcloud.

You have a point, but the key was the Pentagon papers were given to them, and ellsberg would have gone to prison if not for the prosecutorial misconduct.

Then again the material was given to Goldberg, so I suppose the parallel was apt.

Do it, it teaches you things.

Most of your power isn't going where you think.

I grew up in the midwest. For a long time I considered myself a conservative, I think I partly still do.

But I consider myself a McCain conservative, I think Bush I did an incredible job, he helped dismantle the cold war MIC, put eastern Europe back together with basically 0 blood, and the 90s were the golden age for America. Clinton did good too.

The problem is, in our success, we let the worst plagues of Pandora out of the box.

After the midwest my family moved to the south, and it was a caricature. Patriotism, Christianity, these weren't virtues to live by, these were proof that you were superior to everyone else.

I'm brown, and even though I was born here, it was always clear I was and could never be "A Real American" like them.

But the way they treated black people was really the worst, they even joked about it to me like I'd find it funny.

They don't understand the concept of democracy, it goes against their religion where they are the chosen people and everyone else is evil for denying that.

It's a legacy of the confederacy, after the war we kept the slavers out of power for 10 years, then made a deal to let them back in exchange for Van Buren, and they've basically recreated their shadow confederacy under the name Jim Crow ever since. Hitler explicitly wrote about how they were the model Germany must follow in Mein Kampf, and the Nuremberg laws are just Jim Crow without the 1-drop rule (Germans weren't racist enough for that).

We were able to ignore them as long as we have because they had no voice and their damage was contained in the South, but social media made them a pestilence that can be directed to any target, and they are so impossibly ignorant and proud (and proud of their ignorance) that you don't need AI algorithms to send them to destroy democracy, they basically follow pro wrestling rules.

I got my family out and I'm glad, but the rest of the country is basically doomed, nobody is fighting them like they need to be fought, because they can't see the evil first hand.

Here's the thing: we can get an epi shot, and recover.

Then, like fucking inbred morons, we'll scoop another heaping spoonful of peanut butter back down our gobs and go right back into anaphalactic shock.

The south is the problem, until we deal with them we will stay in this endless cycle of evil narcissistic morons like W and Trump, each getting worse and worse as we go on.

He's not the problem, that's like blaming a wolf when you invite him into a henhouse.

The South is the real problem, they literally will give anything to have Jim Crow back, they were so enamored with racism they switched parties just for that single issue, they love racism so much it makes them hate America, at least any America that stops them from being themselves.
