OH NO CHINA MIGHT GET YOUR CAR DATA?!

y'all been taking some Ls lately. If I were Canadian I'd pretend to be American

Never watched TV shows with your kids? Boomer stoner dad never crossed your mind!

Adventure Time and Total Recall

They killed dozens of unarmed soldiers, hanging them by their necks and immolating their corpses. Many of the deaths were done by the mob and they started the lethal violence. They had hundreds of guns out of nowhere, likely supplied by the CIA. Good riddance to these fascist, west-collaborating “students” and the dupes who followed them.

Liberals always handwring at their enemies suppressing internal problems with unsophisticated violence, but that’s often the only tool these nations have to sustain their own existence. They don’t have sophisticated surveillance deep states with media narrative control, just simple brute force. It’s why Liberals were aghast at “Assad using barrel-bombs on his own population” - the preferred method is to destroy street movements via a complex suite of spying, targeted media narratives, sheepdogging, hidden plain-clothes operatives, targeted assassinations of leadership like how Ferguson and the 2020 riots were handled. Assad had one button to have his nation continue to exist, and it was “drop the barrel bombs on the jihadists hiding in apartment complexes” so he pressed it. That makes him a giant villain to Liberals, despite their own funding of jihadists being the very reason he had to push that button.

China at the time of Tiananmen was an unsophisticated state in its suppression capabilities. It had one button to deal with the revolt and continue to exist. I don’t believe it was a mistake for them to push it. You can contrast this to how the Hong Kong colonialist petty bourgie revolt was squashed, with 0 deaths. China would obviously prefer 0 deaths, they just didn’t have the capabilities at the time.

There’s a difference between quickly suppressing a color revolt that is killing soldiers vs. invasions and coups that kill and displace millions of people. If Tiananmen revolt had spread or succeeded then a LOT more people would have died, and China would now be a western puppet instead of a sovereign nation.

One of these is not like the other

I don’t think “I don’t like my job” is politically divisive.

This is absolutely a political statement. Your work and conditions are political and can be changed only through seizing control and unionization, both political actions.

First one is about technology and alienation under a capitalist mode of production, discussing work and leisure. That’s political.

Third one is about dating and advertisements online, which is related to sexual politics and commodification of sex work online. Political.

Political memes are memes. sorry you dont like it sweetie

Unless you’re watching indie foreign flicks they were all produced, written and edited in Hollywood, regardless of where they were filmed

I don’t think assholishness is necessarily a bad thing, it’s value-neutral. I would simply not be bigoted in my critiques, and bigotry is a separate issue entirely that can be addressed directly, and has nothing to do with the “let people enjoy things” poptimism ethos that pervades much of the internet which I think is disgusting. I dont believe anybody has a “right” to not hear criticisms of their favorite things, and mostly people have an issue with it because they’ve made consumption their identity and feel personally attacked by critiques on what they consume. They need to separate their identity from the commodity, not get mad at the messenger.

Making up something I’m not doing to get mad about

I literally don’t care about being an asshole, that’s fine. I can criticize whatever I want

Where did the funding for those movies come from? Where did that fancy military equipment come from? I wonder if the US military asked for anything in exchange for lending that out?

Where were those movies made?

Wow why you yukking Disney’s yum?

These people want a perfect protected treat echo chamber where they can consoom disney shit endlessly without anyone troubling them with “critiques” or “disagreement”

Fascism has only ever been defeated through violence, not through “changing people’s minds”

Go ahead and police people’s thoughts if you insist, but don’t expect to be included by people you willfully offend.

I will, and you can’t exclude me lmao. Deal with it, you have to deal with critiques and disagreements, how terrible for you
