we need this as an emoji! @muad_dibber@lemmygrad.ml
the most unrealistic part of that image is the idea that Americans could actually point China out on a map
I mean, come on, if I had to spin a globe and guess I'd be more likely to guess right about China or Russia than anywhere else in the world.
since when do crackers think about garlic (mario doesn't count)
also, since when do any of then visualize an actual globe and not a fake mercator "map" where europe is thrice the size of china
This has led the U.S. government and American politicians to pursue policies grounded in repression and exclusion, mirroring the authoritarian system that they seek to combat.
american sees something american happening americanly in america: what are we a bunch of ASIANS?!?!???
But collectively they are yielding a United States that is fundamentally more closed — and more like China in meaningful ways.
How about you stop worrying about how much we are literally doing 1984 and build some high speed rail? Or some new housing? Now that would be more like China in a "meaningful way."
My standards are getting lower every year.
I'll settle for regular rail and decriminalizing homelessness at this point.
My standards are getting lower for which neoliberals deserve to be put in the ground during/after the revolution.
Could we be the “authoritarian” ones? No, we’re just being defensive.
