I’m gonna keep in mind what you and others have said that this is nothing new and I don’t have to panic. At least I know this wave will pass like every other.

It sucks though. I feel unironically red-pilled. Just a different perspective on things and it’s weird.

I used to have such strong positive feelings for Democrats and such strong negative feelings for Republicans and I remember literally feeling back in the day that I could not imagine feeling any differently. Now I hate them both (for sifferent reasons) and that’s just a weird feeling.

If China was doing this the west would call it genocide.

Fucking got me! Expert trolling here.

Oh boy, yeah, I was in high school around that time. Not super conscious about things, but man, I can imagine that the internet of the day was certainly on fire.

Yeah, the long story short about that is I have made some strides and joined FRSO and have talked to some people, and even was organizing until life caught up recently (medical, work). The group is very small, very limited where I am and I’m outside the city nowadays, so it’s a lot harder for me to do in-person events.

Im planning getting re-involved, but that’s gonna take awhile unfortunately.

Too real!

Sad, but at least I see it now :/

My God, that is beautiful.

We’re a frugal people, only recently arrived at wealth, and then mostly in the southeast of England

Not from England here, but this reads as either a completely disingenuous, or a real testament to how terrible colonialism and capitalism really is.

You’re telling me that the foremost experts on colonialism, the ones that have stolen the most from the world throughout history ( Okay, the United States has taken so much that they’ve probably surpassed England hand-over-fist by now, but you know what I mean) Was considered a poor nation up until like 60 years ago?

I know the whole article is about not rinsing your soapy dishes, but I just can’t get off of this idea that either people in England think that they are actually modest, or all their colonialism and Imperialism did fuck all for so many people, that why are they not all communists by observing the overwhelming evidence by now?

This is more confusing than anything.

He was hiding in a bush presumably waiting for him to come by or something and Secret Service saw his gun pointing out of the bush and shot at him.

Pretty pathetic in my opinion.

They even admitted that there’s a lot of dense cover around and he’d basically be invisible if he didn’t stick his gun out.
