I'm Lithuanian and the fascism has been bubbling up for a long time. Don't get me wrong, a lot of people you come across are not fascist but the government itself is a lapdog of the US and pushes fascist rhetoric on the workers through things like the media. They also glorify Nazi collaborators as freedom fighters who fought against the evil Soviets.

I enjoy watching a couple of sports but my main one is basketball. Favorite team is the San Antonio Spurs even though I'm not from that area of the US. Became a fan of them in the early 2010s because I liked their style of basketball back then.

Also I'll always post "The Beautiful Game" tribute video whenever I have the chance.

It's not just sleeping a consistent amount but also sleeping at consistent times. Waking up at 5:30 after 8 hours can feel decent if you consistently do it for a bit.

Currently reading Open Veins of Latin America. I knew of the exploitation the colonizers and imperialists did but reading the stats and stories of the earlier periods just makes my jaw drop. I also wasn't aware in the 1800s after Paraguay kicked out the Spanish, they were the only nation in the continent that wasn't controlled by foreign capital and were pretty self sufficient. Obviously that wasn't acceptable to the imperialists so the British helped fund Brazil and Argentina to start a war with Paraguay. Paraguay lost and have been under the boot of imperialists since then.

Favorite genres are definitely Rap and RnB but I'll listen to some house music every once a while. Been getting into Reggaeton and Afrobeat the last couple of years and been liking those a lot.

Obviously you're free to dislike how genres sound but I feel like that's an oversimplification of the genre. It's not just people saying words really fast, there are plenty of slower rappers. It's more about the flow and the wordplay not to mention there's a decent amount of artists that do a sing/rap thing at the same time.

I don't really care how old someone is as long as they have control of their mental faculties and they continue to serve the people. But obviously in a capitalist country as the USA that isn't the case. Same thing with term limits, if they continue to do their job well I don't care. Obviously I'm speaking about socialist countries though so if a person like Xi (who's 70) continues doing a good job I'm all for them continuing being in their position.
