Depends who “you” are of course.

I mean for “America” but yes. Obviously the weapons companies are having a field day.

This is a bit different. There’s no profit to be had getting high on your own supply.

This is basically the right wing playbook for every left wing issue they get worked up about.

Depends. Are you sexy and depressed?

Wood?

Got an original link?

Thanks for taking the time to go into all this detail. If nothing else I will keep an open mind that everything we know in the west is wrong, and hope that a world led by China is a world worth wanting.

Hopefully they realize the productivity barely drops, and sometimes even increases for the majority of workers, and it sticks when the war is over.

Hippo Fart Creme Brulee. Delicious.

Nor two pigs.

I wouldn’t have thought open homosexuality a possibility in present day Iran.

Men kissing men in public, holding hands, hugging, slapping each other’s bottoms (probably). But always no-homo. That’s the usual way.

If things are indeed that progressive, like the Iran before the current theocratic government, everything I know is wrong.

But do you do it in public, online or offline? What about protests? What about strikes?

Where are the independent news organizations and invitations to during media to prove to the world everything we think is wrong with the Converse government is a lie?

Why the great firewall of China?

You’re right that’s a thing, it isn’t that.

My Chinese friends living in New Zealand as dual citizens are afraid to criticize the Chinese government even in private online conversations. That says a lot, I think.

Hoorah! End of days here we come! Gimme some of that sweet sweet rapture.

We need the opposite though. PC emulation of exclusive PS5 games.

Again, you’re assuming shit that isn’t true. I want China, Russia, and India to be as much part of global order as anyone else. I am literally wanting everyone to be subject to the same principle structure on the world stage. That is all.

If your argument is in practice it won’t work and the biggest powers will always circumvent the rules or shape right and wrong in their own image, so sorry but we’ll never get along, let’s fight wars forever… Well that may be reality, and the world we’re living in. That’s not the world I want.

I’m not American, and I vote for a party most Americans would consider far left, woke, etc. I want a world with open borders multiculturalism, universal human rights and welfare, universal education and healthcare, and so on.

How about you, Mr enemy. What does a better world look like to you, and how are the levers of power wielded?

You’re being so unnecessarily abrasive and insulting. You’re totally misunderstanding or misrepresenting what I’m saying. This is a waste of time.

I’m happy you’re passionate. I’m not your enemy. We both probably vote progressive. If you want to have a conversation take a step back and actually read what I wrote.

I’m asking for a coalition of likeminded nations to work together to topple oppressive regimes - call it the UN and include everyone. Ideally, do it non-militarily, but militarily if necessary.

That’s what Iran needs and wants. Not whatever the fuck Israel and the US are doing on their own. That’s wrong, and it’s going to end badly for everyone. On that I hope we can agree.

Chill. Iran funds proxy militias. That’s not a violation of international law?

Everyone’s fucking ignoring international law in the name of whatever selfish ideology. If you’re going to assume my call for a principled approach to international foreign policy is just an excuse for the evils I want to solve… Well fuck mate. Let’s just forget about giving any kinds of shit about anyone but ourselves.

Is that the world you want to live in?
