Vietnamese coffee is good. It’s the only type I drink. Iced, of course.

And lol. They don’t even talk about the exploitation or what happened during the Vietnam war that led to a struggling economy afterwards. I did not see your CW but now I know :pain:

yeah he did. all of these charges and sentences and he’s magically outside and not in prison lol. I’m just baffled by how he’s not shot yet

The sex involves her parading you around the house while naked with insults written on your body and she’s screaming at you for being a right opportunist

Maybe if we arm the students then we’d get the shooter next time.

It is kinda subverted in Death Note.

Two Machiavellian rivals team up together and on the surface they’re chasing another enemy, but in reality they both know that it’s all a farce and they’re both the real enemy. Light infiltrates an investigation on him with fake friendship but real ego :keikaku:

When they find out who Light was and what he did, one of his own ‘friends’ immediately killed him

Japanese PMC KKKaren realizes that his bosses don’t care about him, decides to steal from the workplace by becoming an international pirate with a black American soldier, a Chinese gangster, and a Jewish hacker :sicko-wholesome:

Liberals when communists joke about killing a Russian monarch :NOOOOO:

Liberals when they see a Russian child crossing the street :unsure:

Monroe Doctrine and its consequences

Various CIA operations and planned operations that involved US citizens/US soil (Northwoods, drug trafficking, MKULTRA, and human experimentation in general - it goes beyond LSD)

Cuba’s MODERN literacy program and how it compares to western/capitalist programs (Cuba’s programs are being used by tens of millions of underserved people)

Superimperialism - how the US got off the gold standard and dominated the world with less overt war

Strategy of tension, GLADIO, blowback

The history of industrialization and capitalism. You can probably sneak in a little about how it’s time to find an “alternative”

Shock doctrine is post-communist states around the world

The Warlord Era of china (this one is wild)

China was a day ahead of us and didn’t warn us that 9/11 would happen

The kids are out here with their stiletto knives, combing their hair, and menacingly snapping while approaching me from the alleyway. They must be sent to Doctor Pedd O. Phil’s Youth Recalibration Camp in the deep woods of Idaho.

That agony is your triumph :porky-happy:

I keep seeing this clown on my timeline because he’s apparently beefing with critikal and they both brandished guns over the internet lol. I even see clips of Sam Hyde reacting to this for some reason. I’m so tired of youtubers and streamers man. They all need to be sent to the countryside to pick corn by hand

True but not all middle eastern socialists felt like atheism was necessary for their society to transition.

During the Cold War, socialism was spreading everywhere, including the Middle East. However, the US wanted to exploit the fact that socialism - on the surface - is an “atheistic” ideology. They tried pushing this aspect onto Muslim communities, making it seem like socialism is inherently incompatible with their beliefs, unlike capitalism which doesn’t care about what you believe. This meant the USSR was the biggest enemy because it was the largest socialist nation that was seeking to expand its influence

It was not just about ideology. The Middle East also produces a ton of oil which meant that if the USSR had influence there, they would control the flow of oil thus have a major advantage in war and production. The US spoke to the monarchs and secured a deal: constant oil and globally sold in USD in exchange for American military presence and weapons sales to stop socialism and SA becomes a regional power.

Various ME countries also disliked socialism and would help the US. But SA had the money and local influence to direct covert operations, and now they have every ounce of assistance available with the US.

Basically, the US helps the monarchs stay in control by keeping them happy to side with the US. Their shift towards China and the yuan is interesting. It’s opportunistic and I suspect they’ll go back to the US once they get pressured enough to satisfy SA’s demands. But right now both countries are trying to please the monarch so they continue to be propped up. They’re not phased by China’s hammer and sickle because they know China doesn’t care about regime change in the modern day. They just want the goods. However, the US wants to go scorched earth on anyone who doesn’t agree with them, and SA is wary of that as seen with its refusal to sanction Russia and getting sanctions themselves (thus going to China).

But who will pay for Ukraine’s weapons?

An analysis by an American Marxist professor from 1995, after reviewing the Secret Soviet Archives:

The worker - having been stripped of personal ambition and revolutionary fervor - is compelled to comfort the bourgeoisie at the expense of his home and dear mother. The bourgeoisie seeks to muddy the waters and create an identity full of illusions and fear, such that the worker conflates the happiness and goals of his boss as his own. Of course, the bourgeoisie is under no such illusion, for if the worker was happy - truly happy, that is, such that he is not starving and dreading over tomorrow’s rent - it would be the death blow to the exploitative and cruel ideology that supports his decadence and comfort.

The UAE tweeting this is especially funny

Kid on the right looks like he saw his child coworkers die in a coal mine collapse in advanced

Walmart was written by the guy who got dunked on a few months ago for saying we shouldn’t have to sacrifice cruise ships to deal with climate change because it’s too extreme

Also I don’t know why Bullshit Jobs is a book either. You really only need like a 10 minute video or 500 word article about it which many oeoooe have already done
