I had to block [Hexbear]. I am very sympathetic and generally agreeable to many communist ideals but their brigading and style of that community is annoying.

That was actually the person who got reported on my blahaj comm so I was vibechecking them and that's how I found this thread (I also found transphobia in their comment history while doing it so they got hit with the )
From education to business, lying and scamming is seen as fair play by a huge majority of American people. And things like their credit score system don't help things, when getting ahead can literally be the difference between life and death.
Someone on here said a few days ago that "They have a bad culture" remains one of the last acceptable avenues of racism in polite society, and I've been thinking about that a lot.
There's an English phrase, "All is fair in love and war" which means SA, torture, looting, executing non combatants are encouraged by westerners so long as you're technically at war.
Ever since I started working in social work, I've completely stopped giving a shit about cheating. A good amount of the time I'm helping people cheat various systems to get what they need cause social assistance is so fucked they have to cheat it.
It has to do with their culture. Chinese culture is very cutthroat and survival of the fittest. It makes people have the mindset of doing anything they can to win or be successful, even if it means cheating. It’s not just video games. They have a huge problem with it in their education system, as well.
Love it when they try to criticize communism and end up just describing capitalism.
Love how fucking powerless that "dunk" is, since Taiwan don't and never will have the power to claim the mainland no matter what the US has to say about is. "They think that by changing the name of a thing, they are changing the thing itself" as the quote goes.
They also don’t want to. Taking over the mainland is usually associated with the KMT which is ironically the PRC’s preferred party in power because they both want one china. What that looks like is TBD. But the libs in charge usually want Taiwan to be independent, consider it independent, or want to stay in this limbo for whatever reason
Romans documented some eastern Anglo tribes chilling in bogs on hot days. Literally wallowing in peat, dead plant matter and mud. It's why they built so many bathhouses.
He did say slightly more than that. He said that if Hillary wanted him to pay taxes, she should change the tax-code, but that she wouldn't because her donors and friends and party-members all enjoyed the same tax breaks and loopholes that he did.
Was doing moderation stuff for the blahaj zone comm I mod and checking through someone's comment history for a vibecheck because they'd had one of their comments reported but it was unclear whether they were just being a dick or should actually be banned and then I found this lol
