Capitalism thrives on divide and conquer especially socialist states. Same playbook as forever.

Is that supposed to be a joke? I don’t get it.

Meanwhile I’m here thinking it would be nice if the whole world was made up of countries of that size with a global alliance that will fuck up any country that starts getting all imperialistic.

Pretty sure Americans are gonna do that soon. Then we can convince MAGAland to pay to build a wall around itself

Seems like that would be hard to regulate things like pollution, since there isn’t really effective treaty enforcement. Unless we give someone like the UN binding authority on global things like that and enforcement ability.

I hope the Russian federation is going to look like that in some time.

To improve the geopolitical situation or to brag about Kazakhstan being the largest country in the region? You could change your name to BigBorat1!

We’re the second largest country
On this planet Earth
And if Russia keeps on shrinking
Then soon we’ll be first
(As long as we keep Quebec)

As an older Millennial, I keep thinking Yugoslavia still exists. And the US 9/11 attacks happened last year.

In my eyes, Jurassic Park from the 90s is still so realistic looking. A lot of these films today look like shit.

It’s because of the crappy colour grading they do to merge shot footage with cgi effects. Jurassic Park holds up because it’s from an era of cinema where they didn’t do that grungy Blue-grey shit.

Blue grey shit is early-mid 2000 for me. Some stuff from that era is hard to watch. The lower the budget the worse.

Im a bit blind about the colors they exaggerate today but I am sure they are doing something like that.

I recently watched ‘robot dreams’ good animation movie from 2023, setting is 90’s new york. It was so strage seeing the twin towers in the background during the entire movie. But then i realized the new generation has no first hand 9/11 experience and would probably dont even notice.

That just hit me in the olds. Kids today are grown ups that can drink in America and it was after 9/11

I’m reminded I had a classmate who was Yugoslavian.

At the time I had no idea what was going on in the world at the time.
