I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe… Piss ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion… I watched Pee-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like piss in rain…

Some people see injustice and the suffering of others and are willing to sacrifice their own lives regardless of how good they have it. I also don’t understand this guy’s motivations, but I sympathise with people all over the world who have chosen to end their lives in pursuit of some higher goal.
Look at Aaron Bushnell. He ended his life to protest Israel’s crimes in Gaza and the US’s complicity in them. I often wish I had that courage.
And with regards to killing other people, some people just deserve to die and I’m not succumbing to some liberal bullshit about civility when those same people who spout that nonsense turn a blind eye to the mass slaughter of innocents around the world in the name of the status quo and their privileged existences.
I was gna say. The only reason I knew anything had happened was because of my friends on signal talking about the chaos.
That plot summary has harmed me. It’s like a 14 year old’s power fantasy.
Finally a benefit to brexit that actually manifested. That and not having an automotive industry to speak of
I’m 36 and travelling with other people. I’m not giving the rude people both barrels from day one simply because I don’t want to make a scene. I want to enjoy myself and starting fights is going to wind me up. But equally if these subjects come up in conversation I’m not shying away from them.
I’m in China at the moment and most of the westerners I meet are rich libs. Quite a few of them have been extremely condescending towards China and downright rude in most cases.
Anyway, I’m quite amiable so they make friends with me and usually on day we part ways they get “the talk”, where they find out I’m a commie. I take great delight in likening the west to a sinking ship and China to a rising star. I’ll explain to them everything I know about the United States’ actions in South East Asia during the 20th century, and so far I’ve had zero push back because anything they say in response is purely vibes based. I explain that the evidence is s before their eyes and that they know it’s true, but that they are clinging to this false belief that the west is just inherently better and cannot possibly be surpassed.
