I had to block [Hexbear]. I am very sympathetic and generally agreeable to many communist ideals but their brigading and style of that community is annoying.

“There’s a sucker born every minute”

From education to business, lying and scamming is seen as fair play by a huge majority of American people. And things like their credit score system don’t help things, when getting ahead can literally be the difference between life and death.

It’s not white collar crime unless it comes from the tech ceo region of financial crime otherwise it’s sparkling scamming.

Someone on here said a few days ago that “They have a bad culture” remains one of the last acceptable avenues of racism in polite society, and I’ve been thinking about that a lot.

You claim that China isn’t full of cheaters, and yet look at this permutation of Chinese characters, you fucking idiot.

To the western brainpan Chinese characters are actually magical, everything written in them becomes imbued with totemic truth power. This explains the tattoos.

There’s an English phrase, “All is fair in love and war” which means SA, torture, looting, executing non combatants are encouraged by westerners so long as you’re technically at war.

Ever since I started working in social work, I’ve completely stopped giving a shit about cheating. A good amount of the time I’m helping people cheat various systems to get what they need cause social assistance is so fucked they have to cheat it.

Exactly, if the system didn’t suck then cheating wouldn’t be necessary

I think this is a problem western people rarely understand because the concept of dualism in western philosophy is so rare. It creates a system of logical determinism that forces the thinker into black and white thinking.

In the east “cheating” can be seen as a negative, while at the same time understanding that if cheating is how the people at the top rose to their position, then it is implicitly part of the system. Meaning that the true competition is between the people who can cheat the most while not seeming to cheat at all.
