Its just a dance both sides are doing.

China claim the straight and, under maritime law, if that’s accepted then it’s theirs. So, British etc. ships sail through it saying “what a lovely straight of water. I’m going to sail through here, as no one owns it.” If China doesn’t react, they have relinquished their claim to the straight. So, they have to follow up with “hey you, get off my lawn!” Every so often, the dance is repeated.

Nothing to worry about.

It’s not even that they don’t care that they did it. Most of the time, they literally don’t think they’ve done anything wrong.

In other news, my toaster absolutely wrecked my T.V. at making toast.

Just like the UK, it always has been. It really screws with the narrative of billionaires trying not to pay for the health, infrastructure and welfare that allows them to extract their wealth.

The first rule of colonisation is to make the colonised pay for their colonisation. It’s just that we all, collectively, forget that our governments colonise at home too.

A better question would be “when was there ever been a true democracy?”

For me, there hasn’t been. That doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t try. It means that we need to truly internalise that wealth and power will, if left unchecked, succeed in perverting it entirely. We need to be ever augmenting it, with that in mind, with a view to playing whack a mole with the interests of the 1% and keeping it working for the 99%.

I mean that won’t work either. The rich and powerful will never allow us to simply vote away their ill beggoten wealth and power. However, at least people could say that they tried.

How else am I supposed to get rid of the agar huh?

Sales tax as well as VAT are also, by design, regressive taxes.

We turned the planet into a human labour farm.

Don’t worry, as the Internet is forever, you’ve already criticised dear leader. We just have to hope they don’t get into power.

And they say you guys are humourless!

I wasn’t being too serious tbh. However, as we’re here, I feel like fairytales might have been around a little bit longer than nazis.

You should read about how the Franks “christianised” German saxons and then cross reference that with the time period those kinds of fairytales come from, as we’re swapping reading ideas. It’s just a guess on my part of course.

Apologies for interrupting your work.

Burned alive for using the wrong sewing technique / burned alive for worshiping the wrong god or maybe the “right” God but, in the wrong way, who knows?

Either way, somehow, someway, the idea of being burned alive for not following rules seems to be almost literally burned deep into the Germanic saxon psyche.

They’re not a humourless people. They’re just terrified someone might catch them not working or following the rules and laughing isn’t working.

Yup, I took a large venti in your bathroom

Its estimated that this will stop underage people accessing porn for at least 30 seconds while they download tor browser

If you consider the price of equipment, food, training, transport etc. it sounds like a bargain to me.

I mean, the price of an American soldier.

“Wait a minute, are you trying to tell me that the person who’s been going robbin people while wearing a hood is also called Robin Hood and that a real name of a real person and not just British people taking piss?”

Your argument is for one not being enough, in case you didn’t realise.

You’ve been very naughty this year haven’t you, Brian?

Never before, in human history, has such ruthlessness been so wholesome.

Thats understandable and I think I arrive at the same point. All be it from a slightly different way. I have no faith in us doing anything to change it because no one likes the answer.

What do you feed an insatiable monster who can absorb any weapon you throw at it and poops out planet killing gas?

As little as possible.

What does capitalism actually feed on?

Human labour.

Specifically human labour, above and beyond what we need to live and have a comfortable life. The problem is, you can’t have super rich without vast amounts of excess, toxic, forced labour.

The answer has always been the strategic refusal of work. The problem is, you might as well tell people that the way to salvation is punching babies in the face because work is now as much a god as anything else we’ve had in human culture.

Want to sit around and do nothing to save the planet?

Well, now you can.
