There is a difference between being in touch with your ancestry to claiming you are literally a nationality which you aren’t. Americans always say “I’m Irish, Italian etc. etc.” and proceeds to be the ultimate arbiter of what is real Irish, Italian etc., when in reality they had some great-grandparents in of their family tree branches who may have been of that nationality.

By all means be interested in your ancestry, study the archives, learn about your distant family, but it does not suddenly make you Irish, Italian etc., you are American.

Looks boiled, not raw. Still, it shouldn’t be boiled.

Now when a Putin simp is leading the country?

Finely diced celery, carrots and onion is the foundation of basically all great stews and ragouts (including ragu alla bolognese).

Tankies unable to fathom that you can be critical of both fascism and the authoritarian state capitalism which is China.

Well, you shouldn’t watch smart tv anyway. Shut off that slop and use your tv as a dumb tv through a computer. The other way is just asking to be exploited.

Obviously him (and all the other oligarchs behaving like this) are counting on their entourage of sycophants following them. I don’t think they have completely considered the fact that all of their untangible wealth will be worthless in an apocalypse situation, and instead they will just turn into golden geese sitting on a pile of stuff that everyone else, including their former sycophants, would like to sit on instead.

Of course it would have lasted long. It had lasted basically the entire existence of human populated India up until then.

That is just such a useless relativisation of the issue. There are problems all over the world sure, but there are also varying degrees of these problems. The US is facing a lot of different problems than the EU for example. So just saying “that is just human nature” is self-defeating and wrong, because obviously some of the problems the US faces have been fixed, or at least mitigated, to a varying degree elsewhere.

Fascists loves when people just sit back and let themselves be exploited because they think that is the natural order of things.

Someone’s age is showing.

Even if you love porn and grew up exposed to it as a kid, you gotta admit that there are psychological effects on avid adult viewers and more on minors.

No you don’t. That is right wing propaganda completely unfounded by science. That porn addiction nonsense so many Americans babble about is a product of that propaganda, and doesn’t actually exist.
