It’s chain link. How’s it going to burn?

The fucking mosquitoes. Cruel and unusual.

Hey whatever happened to cruel and unusual anyway???

If seagulls fly over the sea, then what flies over the bay?

Bagels.

Great, discussion over.

That covers recent history. What about Egypt, or the Roman Empire?

You didn’t mean increase in quality of life for everyone in the world, just for the people under that government?

There’s a lot of candidates in “human history”.

I’m pretty sure there was no comparative research involved in your assessment, but you might look at Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quality_of_life but there’s no mention of China there at all.

Probably because Wikipedia is orientalist and just a Western megaphone. But you quoted them, so maybe not.

That’s a bold statement, what’s your source?

And you are impartial, saying someone you do not know has an “orientalist” bias. Throwing out pejorative words, linking to lengthy fringe arguments like a Trump supporter telling me to watch Hannity.

I see you’re defending your heroes by parsing words and cherry-picking books and news and rallying your arguments (and propaganda) to defend them. I expected nothing less from you; it’s exactly the same thing a Trump supporter would do.

Carry on, comrade. Enjoy yourself. You have the evangelistic fervor of a Baptist preacher.

Hogwarts legacy

I could find books that say the Nazis are great guys too. Doesn’t make it right.

Don’t forget, most of the countries in Europe bad also. Oh, and Japan very bad at times.

“Oops! I killed 15 million people, but it was an accident. My bad. Who knew forcibly moving all the farmers to the city and making them work in factories would cause a famine?”

-Mao, probably

PS: 15 million is the low end number. 15-55 million is the commonly accepted number, with some estimates as high as 70 million.

At some point you’d think he’d look around and notice.

When you pay the game you realize how few women and non-white characters there were.

Wasn’t the great leap forward by Mao the biggest mass murder in world history, according to historians not governments?

Doesn’t whitewashing that amount to Holocaust denial level cultural blindness?

I know nothing, quick Google search.

I know the mod erased it, but could you hint at the inappropriate post’s content?

☝️Actually, the war of 1812 was in the US. The White House was burned down and Washington DC was occupied.

And the civil war, our deadliest, was fought on US soil.

Even in WW2, the attack on Pearl Harbor and the Battle of the Aleutian Islands ought to be mentioned.

I see it whenever I go there.

Shit is not looking good

Relevant graphic. USA deaths weren’t even in the top ten, percent-wise or raw numbers.

We’re doing the disaster speedrun.

Agree 100%.

Although I don’t just blame the old people, a lot of them were hippies.

We’re still the same divided country we were in the civil war, racists and oligarchs vs people of better character.

Trump has, even at this early point, permanently changed the political realities of this country. He will be remembered for elevating the presidency to the point where the rule of law no longer applies.
