Yeah i know the connotations for the west is Hitler and aryan

Not quite the same but if you go to India you’ll see swastikas everywhere. For Indians it means something completely different, Hitler just stole it and changed it. If you see a swastika in the west you generally know exactly what you’re getting

Not really outside of the west. He’s Taiwanese i believe and 88 is considered fairly auspicious

I’m confused honestly - the post I saw just said that he was happy that Trump picked an anti trust person to break up big tech.

Why is that bad? Don’t people want the big monopolies broken up?

I’ve had 5 ACL surgeries and torn my hamstring a couple times and my Achilles. I honestly really love wearing my vibrams. Ive got a couple trail running ones and ones I wear for working out, as well as a pair for just walking around. When it’s not shit cold and icy out I wear them all the time. It just feels better and hurts my knees and my back way less after all the damage I’ve done to them.

Honestly never understood why people were so bothered by them. Would I wear them on a first date? Probably not unless I knew the woman was also into them. But if I’m gonna be in a relationship with you? You should probably be okay with being seen with me in them.

My girlfriend now doesn’t like them particularly but she doesn’t have a problem with me wearing them anywhere, even to see her family.

I don’t think that means what you think it means

Why are you mad at the truth? We’ve known for over a decade that Facebook steals your data and listens to your conversations…

So first off that’s a completely different argument than the one you just made

Secondly they did, you just can’t read apparently

But whatevs man do you if you’ve got nothing better to do than sit there, trying and failing to be pedantic and just acting confused for no reason then enjoy it I guess

“They haven’t told me, they’ve insisted” … what

Not sure how you can insist on something without it being communicated but ya sure

Well others have told you why it’s an apology, you can disagree

Yeah it’s not a point for science if the science teacher has to apologize for teaching science

What

It’s not really racism if I assume that an entire group of people with over a billion members are all the same

You have no idea if that child is abused or not

It’s just as much freedom of choice to want to wear a full veil as it is to not want to wear one

Idk there are still quite a few artists and songs i can listen to from when I was in high school

There are also quite a few that I can’t listen to anymore. Guess it really depends

It is your doctors job to keep up with new treatments. And if they’re legitimate they’re not putting out new pills every month

No Other civilized country has drug commercials the way the US does.

What Why?

“Until everybody changes i will do no work to change anything”

Yeah propaganda exists but the point is that this is already who the US has shown themselves to be. It is and has been a racist oligarchy for as long as I’ve been alive, and most likely longer.

The second Obama won you had shitheads burning efficiency of him or hanging him from trees.

My point is it’s easy to blame Russian interference, etc. It’s harder to look inwards and realize that oh hey, this country is actually just not thatbgreat and we’ve been living on lies for the last 80 years.

It is deeply, deeply racist and always has been. It is deeply oligarchical, and always has been.

There is more in common with modern day russia than there is with any civilized 1st world country in western Europe.

Democrats are toast. They couldn’t beat the easiest guy to beat two times in a row. Blow the whole party up, get rid of the corporate shills, make it an actual democratic left wing party instead of a right wing party and then maybe they’ll get some votes again

Let’s not pretend here. Over half of America voted for him this time. Last time almost half of America voted for him.

This is America. You can blame russia, you can blame whoever, but still the end of the day this is America and Americans fault.

Go talk to the 60% of white people in this country who voted for him and make them realize that they are idiots and racists. Then maybe you’ll get a change.
