      And what are you going to do about it, you dog? Ask their Ring drones for a badge number when they shoot your neighbor off a bad face ID?

    The main issue is the use of FPTP for so long that it does what it was designed to to, cause an unbreakable duopoly

    But no, there is this magical third option where there is a structure to run a government as massive as the federal government and actually has plans on how to run the government and not grift to help act as a ratchet to keep politics more conservative.

    The only third party I respect is the Working Families Party, and part of that is that they are willing to play the current game of politics to get their policies implemented or at least a version closer to their vision.

    If only there was an actual alternative party in the US. The Libertarians and Greens unfortunately don’t count.

    This is the kind of thing that makes it difficult for me to empathize with them. Like really, I need to do some yoga before.

    When the Blue Team of puppets sits at the figurehead of the Global Murder Machine, it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside!

      This is completely delusional by the way. Europe and Japan are key outposts for US extraction. You don’t understand the postwar financial system (asset bubble containing Nazi + imperial Japanese + Southern plantation wealth) at all lol this is why your people are doomed to slide into hell now

          In my vicinity you are at best getting Thailand, which is like if Japan was also Pakistan for some awful reason.

            Oh, you’re from Southeast Asia. Never mind then. Y’all gonna be vassals of China.

                Heh. Don’t make the mistake of conflating stability with prosperity. For a long time we thought things were going well too…

                ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                I guarantee you this is already a global problem. I’m deeply ashamed to see the country I grew up in spearheading it, but it’s been fermenting worldwide for a long time, I’m afraid.

                However, that said, I wish you and everyone on that side of the world the best! Fuck do I hope I’m wrong, too. But either way, the only path towards human society healing from any of this is if us common folk find some solidarity.

                If that was true, Vietnam would have high-speed rail and Hanoi’s metro would be more than 1 line.

                  If China was making vassals, you wouldn’t see the kind of development I get to participate in with my work here. You would see Bulgaria. The only people who will ever buy this shit are people who somehow forgot about the colonial era (westerners). When brother Laos emerged from French occupation there were people in villages a hop skip and a jump away from each other that had little trade activity and no family visits.
