My understanding is that literally almost all global gains against poverty have come from China, you know the gains against poverty neoliberals like to attribute to neoliberalism?? Haha it's all been in China. China actually plans and builds infrastructure for people to use and live in. Remember all the articles about Chinese ghost cities, with the implication being that China was building a bunch of useless buildings to juice their GDP? Yeah people live in those now.

Something like 95% home ownership? Etc etc etc etc.

Working at the dmv and talking about how incompetent bureaucracy are isn't the kind of talking we're talking about

Go work for a railroad and try to organize a general strike and tell me how safe you feel

At least I can speak freely and scream from the rooftops about the shitty parts of the US

Someone's never heard of the Free Speech fights.

You can and will be jailed just for saying shit, if people start to listen to you and you're saying the wrong shit. Your "freedom of speech" is as worthless as used toilet paper the moment a judge decides to issue an injunction against you i.e. the strikes in Harlan County in the 70s had judges jailing people for using the word "scab."

Also fun fact I learned today, remember the Kent State Massacre? People were ordered to apologize for being shot just to get compensation, which only covered legal defenses. Land of the fucking free, lmao

Leaking confidential information, as damning as it may be, is illegal.

When your life is made illegal, what're you gonna do, liberal? Roll over for the bourgeois state like a good boy?

Fun fact, the origin of "whataboutism" was its use as the phrase "whataboutery" during the Troubles in Ireland as the Irish accused the British of atrocities only to be dismissed as "whataboutery"

Weird how it's always used as a thought terminating cliche to prevent criticism of the dominant empire, huh!

Good thing it only works on idiots like you

Most people don't have phones that can record in infrared and when all they've shown us is FLIR images well that might be a problem with your "everybody has a 4k camera" theory

What "news"

Since 2015 they keep repeating the same shit in the news about the exact same navy shit with literally every article having the same fucking FLIR image of a tic tac thing but there has literally at no point been any new information for the last 7 fuckdamn years straight. It's been wild watching the same story get news play every few months for 7 ffucking years

So anyway what new information is there? Are there new images? Did they ever reveal literally anything about the supposed recovered materials Luis Elizondo and others claim to have had access to? Or is it more of the same old shit, AGAIN?

They were going to do some pve bullshit and that was literally the only justification they had for making overwatch 2 to begin with instead of just expanding on overwatch 1 and then they were like "yeah we're not doing that pve thing" so yea

I'm not intersted in rowing machines

Oh man you should get a rowing machine, I got one for Christmas and have used it for like 180 days so far and let me tell you Im getting absolutely shredded. My beer belly has turned into shoulder and chest and bicep muscle and is now totally gone. My torso is like an inverted triangle, my lats are poppin, i got like dimples in my shoulders now above my armpit, shit's wild.

The key is doing it like every day and turning up the resistance if it gets easy. Also stretch a lot and look up what you're doing so you don't hurt yourself
