The menswear guy is a super annoying lib reply guy who thinks he's owning people by commenting that their cuff links don't match their shoelaces and other things that nobody actually gives a shit about.

whining

Lmao

Liberal/welfare democracies didn't stop growing because there was no room to grow.

Gotta partially disagree with you on this one. After WWII, imperialists got a free pass to expand throughout most of the world. All the way up through the fall of the USSR, the US was privatizing and gutting the public sectors of their client states and the eastern block.

However, with the neoliberal consensus overtaking most of the world, the US didn't have any more big markets to crack open, which is why they had to turn their sights on gutting their own public sectors which they had free access to. Foucault's boomerang and such

My common reading is that GDP is an indicator of growth. China is currently developing, so it's GDP is going to be higher. However, at some point they will be considered developed and there will be less reason to grow and it will be more difficult to grow. So the GDP will level off. This has been the trend in capitalist countries.

Whether or not this will apply to the Chinese economy, I don't know. But I believe this is the framework that people are using when they make this argument.

Sorry, I'm just speaking colloquially. I just mean the GDP has been very high for a long time now.

Oh fuck that one was a classic.

So good reddit had to get rid of it.

Can recent growth rates persist? China's GDP has been running hot for decades now. Seems like they need to level off at some point.

Yellow cake 🤤

Isn't that Umberto Eco?

You fought in the pronoun wars!?

That was Hexbear's mythic era before our exodus

Hot. Every time. Regardless of context.

Sounds like cold brew, which makes the coffee a lot stronger

I dunno, it sucks and I probably couldn't do it (and I hate being reminded the principled thing to do is to say something, to combat liberalism), but I hope one day you can find it in yourself to 'respectfully' tell people when they dont know what they're fucking talking about.

I actually do correct misconceptions when I hear them, and I rarely try to keep the peace these days.

Problem is, sometimes I don't realize things actually bother me until later, and if I bring it up after the moment has passed, then I just feel petty.

Oh well, I'll have more ammo for next time. Thank you, comrade.

Born in the US.

Other than that, God damn, are you me?

Shit like this keeps happening and Iran just shows incredible amounts of restraint.

Meanwhile, the "only democracy in the Middle East" is allowed to act like a rabid dog.

In my restless dreams, I see that town. Silent Hill. You promised me you'd take me there again someday. But because of me, you were never able to.
