Good thing these fascists are this incompetent. 🤭
Um...
Not sure
I dream in some monster-land because most of them are nightmares.
Monster language? 🤷♂️
If a country claim you have nukes, you have to acquire them quickly.
If a government claims you are a terrorist, then become what they are claiming.
who is originally from Lebanon
Found the pattern. They don't like brown people or anyone with any connections with "brown people locations"
Aka: fascists being fascist
Well you see, the problem is, you can just say "I want to leave" and go wherever you want. You need visas.
A work visa is only temporary and you get kicked out as soon as you get fired.
So only immigration visas are viable for long term emmigration. Those are very hard to get.
If you go without permission, you will get deported back to the US.
I have a device in my pocket that can conjure up unique sounds and images, and can access almost any information known to humanity, I can access almost any entertainment.
Its so magical. But too bad my brain chemicals are all fucked up to enjoy all this... this... magical age of technology. (It's Depression)
Of course, Social Democracy is not Socialism. But I'm talking about some of the Policies they implemented that are "Socialist".
Edit: And I don't think the monarchs these days (except for the absolute monarchies) actually do anything. In Constitutional Monarchies, their power is very limited. They mostly just sit around be be celebrities, and hoard up wealth. They don't really have much political power anymore. Its mostly just symbolic.
(Although, I'm not sure why they still keep up the weird traditions, like just ditch it already. Become a Republic!)
Don't mind me, I'm just carrying my um...
glances at my stuff
Personal Portable Gaming Desktop PC, 4K 144hz Monitor, Mechanical Keyboard, Gaming mouse, etc...

whispers to border agent Btw, I'm a real gamer 😉
Yea, I read about Schengen and I love the concept.
Unfortunately the rest of the world has not been enlightened and still have border control.
I hope one day, there will be a world-wide Schengen area.
You mean the same People's Republic of China that... checks notes
- also has a huge wealth gap
- expensive healthcare
- you have to pre-pay for any treatments, including emergency room treatments (they will refuse to to treat you if you don't have the money). That shit you see about China having "Free/Socialised Universal Healthcare"? If you actually lived in China, you'd know that doesn't exist.
- most people have no health insurance to cover medical expenses
- have a strict control of movement within the country. You can't even freely move outside where your 户口 (Hukou - a Household Registration System) is. And migrant workers are essentially treated as an immigrant, even though they are citizens, they face discrimination.
- most of the welfare programs you see in the western world doesn't exist in PRC
It's just State Capitalism
I hate know people go USA bad and then pivot towards PRC. I'm like, the EU is right there. Norway, Finland, and all these countries are actually implementing some socialist policies. Even though they are still capitalist, its the most socialist and egalitarian the world that exists on a large scale (beyond just a small commune)
I mean, China still have an all men Politiburo. Zero women in positions where it actually matters. China is literally doing the "Anti-Woke"/"Anti-DEI" thing the US is doing.
Its also because people aren't not flawless, socialism/communism need almost everyone to be good people to succeed, both the leaders and the followers.
My dad told me the people in factories (in China) would just slack off when the supervisors aren't looking.
The people in his factory said: 做也三十六，不做也三十六
"Work and you get paid ¥36, Don't work and you also get paid ¥36" (Currency in Yuan/Renminbi, pay is paid monthly, but this is a long time ago so its probably equivalent to like ¥2000 or more these days)
I don't think a utopia will work if this is what people do. People are selfish, from the leaders, to the workers, everyone.
Villages over-report their productions, then they have feasts to celebrate because they think there's a surplus.
Both external and internal struggles caused communism to fail
Does matter either way. You make China pay for the tariff, they just add the tariff to the sale of the product.
The item is $100 and there is a $100 tariff? Well, now they selling it at $200.
Doesn't matter who the bill goes to, the consumer always end up footing the bill. The only winner is the US government (whose money will quickly find its way into some rich people's pockets)
For residents of the United States the duty free limit when returning is 800 dollars worth of stuff
Well, they just removed the de mininis rule...
Stuff that you exported and reimported for personal or business use, but not for resale, is exempt from duty with no dollar limits. If you want documented proof that you are reimporting, you can register the stuff at a customs office in the United States before you leave.
I'm pretty sure nobody registers their personal smartphone and laptop every time they leave the US for a vacation.
I don't understand the "be shitty to food service worker" attitude.
They do realize its the people making their food, right?
You don't even have to be a nice person, just be pragmatic, act nice.
Don't die by poisoning.
I know this is a parody, but:
In the US, you might soon need a white "walking buddy" when they re-instate Jim Crow laws, because you wouldn't be allowed to travel without a white man leading the group.
Tankies are now supporting trump because he's advancing putin's agenda in Ukraine.
That's tells you all you need to know about the tankies, they were never left wing, they are far-right masquerading as leftists.
There's a term for this: Red Fascism
My parents told me the Tianamen Square Massacre is fake and CIA propaganda, meanwhile watching their WeChat shorts playing on loop about how the People's "Liberation" Army will "liberate" Taiwan and "reunify" China.
They were not even 60 yet
Funny thing is, WeChat is also attacking the Democrats and blaming them for "migrant crisis" in NYC.
Maga and CCP seems to be on the same team lol
