  • Well, according to capitalism the appropriate thing to do is to solve it for the ultra rich and let everyone else be contaminated and die of awful cancers.

    It’s only rational. The alternative would be banding together to make the world better for everyone but that is just silly. I mean, it would be expensive, and by expensive I mean that as a world we’ve de-incentivized any action that doesn’t generate wealth for the capital owners. Should we change this paradigm? No, rich people would be mad.

    How will we know who is better than others if we can’t have children inherit unearned wealth which allows them to be smug cunts to everyone their whole life?

    People who are born without wealth are just worse people, clearly. And there is nothing to be done.about it. If your parent ever made a questionable financial decision, the appropriate thing to do is have that mistake ripple through dozens of generations causing untold trauma. As it should be.

    Edit: /s is obvious. No?






  • It seemed to me that the “beautiful propaganda” as you call it… and I can’t really disagree with you… could be an olive-branch extended from the SK film industry to NK audience (because we know NKs smuggle and watch SK dramas… even a soldier in the show does that).

    So idk, I like to always approach things pessimistically AND optimistically… then compare the two perspectives. In this case you’re the critic and I’m devil’s advocate.

    Will it make a difference on the large scale? No. Will it delight and sway a few NK citizens toward reunification? I’d guess probably. But who knows.









  • It is a great time saver, the confederate flag serves a similar purpose.

    It says, “I can’t wait to be disagreeable to you if you aren’t on my team.”

    Occasionally I end up in the homes of one of these people, I keep to myself, keep everything professional and nothing more, yet they’ll prod at you to try to figure out what you think, aka “Are you on my team or are you the enemy?” It’s so exhausting. I just play dumb until I can get away.

    Headphones are great for this.




  • the words honestly are confusing. i can admit that. out of context “drag queen” would mean nothing to me either.

    as i understand it, a drag queen is someone (usually a man?) who dresses up in flamboyant clothing of the opposite gender and takes on a character, like a stage identity, and everyone’s stage identity is individual to themselves. from what I’ve seen, the stories behind a stage identity are often as interesting as the costumes themselves, which can be very intricate and eye catching.

    drag queen competitions can feature singing, dancing, showmanship, acrobatics, comedy, and are a good time, check one out if you get a chance.
