Are you completely culturally illiterate?

Cool story, can’t help noticing it’s entirely unsubstantiated though. Again, if Chinese manifacturing quality was actually that much lower consistently than American manifacturing we wouldn’t be losing.

Nobody currently alive will live to see it

That is in fact their greatest strength and the primary reason why our usual strategies for undermining our political & economic rivals don’t work on them. Sitting back and allowing shit to fall apart because “freedom” is moronic, just look at what the US has turned into for a perfect example.

Correct, the clothes and movies and music are the culture

If their versions were actually shittier we wouldn’t be losing as badly as we are, you’re verifiably wrong and it comes off as racist

Holy shit I haven’t thought about Sub Terrania since I was a kid! Obnoxiously difficult, and in retrospect the entire concept is baffling, why tf would you use an aircraft to fight in a cave

Yes I do

Because the US is worse in every quantifiable way
- Comment on It is wild to know that "prophetic dreams" have been documented and verified, and even more wild that it isn't really that astonishing when one thinks about it. 5 days ago:
There is, you’re delusional

You’re free to believe whatever nonsense you want, but saying that it’s verified in any scientifically meaningful way is a lie and nobody is obligated to pretend otherwise

If by wild you mean not true at all then yeah
- Comment on If you consider yourself a Christian and act in self-defence, you don’t truly believe 6 days ago:
Because the people who put the bible together were a bunch of fucking politicians long after jesus was dead, fucking duh
- Comment on If you consider yourself a Christian and act in self-defence, you don’t truly believe 6 days ago:
He tells them all to sell their cloaks to buy swords, and the line after that they say they’ve already got two swords between the lot of them, and jesus says yeah actually that’s enough. Then two or three lines later when they attempt to actually use their swords to defend jesus from arrest he rebukes them. As a justification for use of violent force it’s pretty flimsy.
- Comment on If you consider yourself a Christian and act in self-defence, you don’t truly believe 6 days ago:
Doesn’t matter how many people choose to interpret it that way if they can’t justify that interpretation
- Comment on If you consider yourself a Christian and act in self-defence, you don’t truly believe 6 days ago:
Ecclesiastes is old testament, jesus brought the new covenant, if you claim to be a follower if christ then not only are you no longer bound by the edicts of the old testament but are actively denigrating christ’s sacrifice by failing to adhere to the new instead
- Comment on If you consider yourself a Christian and act in self-defence, you don’t truly believe 6 days ago:
They’re not manufacturing anything, jesus himself said turn the other cheek

- Comment on Plato got virtually everything wrong 1 week ago:
I’m waiting for a link to any evidence at all for any sort of dualism. Asserted without evidence=dismissed without evidence, for someone who claims to know jack shit about logic and science I’m surprised I have to explain that to you. Your own link proves that we have evidence for a direct connection between consciousness and the brain, no matter how incomplete. Until you can produce evidence to the contrary you’re arguing on the same level as a creationist.
- Comment on Plato got virtually everything wrong 1 week ago:
You’re right that our knowledge of the human nervous system is incomplete, but you’re wrong about absolutely everything else. Even if our general knowledge were as lacking as you suggest (it isn’t, read a book) the fact that we have any evidence at all for the direct link between the brain and consciousness and zero evidence whatsoever for any other hypotheses is more than enough reason to discard dualism. The soul doesn’t exist, grow up.
- Comment on Plato got virtually everything wrong 1 week ago:
Mind body duality absolutely is settled science, the mind is a function of the brain which is an organ in the body
- Comment on 'Her screams…': Horror as innocent Chilean tourist in New York snatched by NYPD, 12-year-old daughter left alone on streets 1 week ago:
Movie studios are frequently run by morons, anyone who isn’t completely politically & historically illiterate could tell you it’s not far-fetched at all, and this person had the money for an international vacation so they’re definitely not representative of the average anyway
- Comment on 'Her screams…': Horror as innocent Chilean tourist in New York snatched by NYPD, 12-year-old daughter left alone on streets 1 week ago:
Lol none of the links you posted do anything to support your claims, try harder halfwit
- Comment on 'Her screams…': Horror as innocent Chilean tourist in New York snatched by NYPD, 12-year-old daughter left alone on streets 1 week ago:
You pulled that percentage and the following accusation directly out of your ass, it might make you feel better to imagine that everyone who disagrees with you is either a bot or a russian troll but it’s not a particularly strong counter-argument, truth is truth regardless of the source
- Comment on 'Her screams…': Horror as innocent Chilean tourist in New York snatched by NYPD, 12-year-old daughter left alone on streets 1 week ago:
It shouldn’t be, the evidence has been plentiful and easily available. It’s not particularly crazy either, evil for sure but entirely in line with the interests of our ruling class and extremely historically precedented. Some folks just have to learn the hard way I guess.
- Comment on 'Her screams…': Horror as innocent Chilean tourist in New York snatched by NYPD, 12-year-old daughter left alone on streets 1 week ago:
I blame the parent. Nobody with the resources necessary for an international vacation has any excuse for being ignorant of the current political state of the US, our government is actively targeting visibly hispanic people regardless of legality and has not been quiet about it. Even if their trio had gone smoothly every dollar they spent here would be indirectly supporting the shit our government is doing. The child had no choice in the matter, the parent was a fucking moron who volunteered their child for a completely avoidable traumatic experience and helped fund Trump’s crimes in the deal.

Doesn’t matter, they’re right and you’re just mad that you can’t easily deflect to whatever may or may not be going wrong in their home country
- Comment on 'Her screams…': Horror as innocent Chilean tourist in New York snatched by NYPD, 12-year-old daughter left alone on streets 1 week ago:
If you’re too cowardly to do what needs doing you can just shut up and get out of the way, actively advocating against the only reasonable response is unfathomably pathetic
- Comment on 'Her screams…': Horror as innocent Chilean tourist in New York snatched by NYPD, 12-year-old daughter left alone on streets 1 week ago:
Because it’s clearly necessary, fucking duh
