So it’ll be paid off sometime between the last star dying and the first black hole evaporating.

10 thousand people marching would make world headlines. Though admittedly that’s more difficult than smuggling soup in to an art gallery.

It’s to get cameras thrust in their face so they ask when oil executives will face consequences.

“Is destroying art worse than destroying the whole planet???”

It’s an idiotic form of protest, it accomplishes nothing but turning the public against you, and forever associating your cause with petty vandalism.

My roommate in college was from Seoul. He was vehemently, vocally, angrily anti Japanese. His friends from Korea mostly shared similar views.

Korea and China don’t share much in common, but hating Japan and by extension people from there is one thing they do. And for similar reasons.

They’re still really pissed about the horrific war crimes.

It’s ok. I survived. I’m not sure what he did but I survived it.

Listen buddy.

First of all, men are brutalizing women all over the world, every day, regardless of religion.

You should think about religion as less of a driver and more of a record. Like a dictionary.

People will do whatever they want to do, and then they will justify it. If there happens to be a few convenient passages in a religious text justifying setting your spouse on fire, they’ll repeat that until they’re blue in the face while dousing a woman in gasoline.

And sure, you can say that they use that text to tech their kids, but they’re still just teaching the bits they want to.

The point is, Muslim, Hindu, Christian, doesn’t matter. All major sacred books have bits about brutalizing women that step out of line, and the people that really like those bits tend to climg to them to justify being horrible fucking people.

85% of Russia’s territory is effectively empty. Almost their entire population lives to the west of the Urals. Any territory China would be interested in would be nearly empty.

Pretend?

Un peu de pagaille? Quelque chose de chienlit?

Not even a crumb of chaos? A morsel of mischief? Perhaps a scrap of sabotage?

Sacrebleu!

Just less poverty

It was outside the environment

We simply cannot risk not knowing.

I tried to read that out loud and now there’s a fucking Russian potato mephit just FOLLOWING me everywhere.

they HAVE those???

Yeah then you just remove the beak

I just want you to know that I tried to read this comment, got bored because it got technical, (user problem) and scrolled to the bottom to find the very helpful, important part, in giant letters and bolded. And I appreciate you.

Mention Gaza? Block. Straight to block.

Take too long to denounce Russia? Block.

Denounce Russia too fast? Believe it or not, block. Straight to block.

We have the best echo chamber in the world, because of block.

I’m joking, obviously. Putin can die in a fire, and I want him to live long enough to suffer from it first. I just ALSO have no faith in the West to be much better. Seems like around here if you’re not firmly in one camp, you must be in the other.

I was referring to Joseph Campbell.
