Okay. I don’t know what else to say.

Yes? I don’t know where this thread is going.

Imperialism is when a country (or any political group, I guess) pushes their worldview onto others. That’s without looking anything up so I may have forgotten some aspect.

…

Okay, I looked it up. I agree with the definition I found that says it’s more about exerting power than just “worldview”. That seems like a better definition.

Okay. So you see what I’m saying then. Imperialists do this stuff.

Ah. Google Translate comes through. I think the relevant part is where they say (machine translated): “Mainly due to the mistakes of the “Great Leap Forward” and the “Anti-Rightist Movement”, coupled with natural disasters at the time and the Soviet government’s treacherous breach of the contract, my country’s national economy encountered serious difficulties from 1959 to 1961, and the country and the people suffered heavy losses.”

There is literally no link I could have found that would not have triggered your criticism. There is literally no Western media outlet that would not be labeled “empire-sanctioned” by you.

According to a Wikipedia article, “After the launch of Reform and opening up, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officially stated in June 1981 that the famine was mainly due to the mistakes of the Great Leap Forward as well as the Anti-Right Deviation Struggle, in addition to some natural disasters and the Sino-Soviet split.”

The official statement is here, but I don’t read Chinese.

Canada? I can’t find a reference to where we’ve “invaded, bombed, couped, supported dictators, supported terrorists and/or interfered in elections” in Canada since 1900. Nor Greenland, though we did put nuclear weapons there without being clear about it, if that counts.

Playskool

Yeah. The shell, plus whatever command (or commands) you tell the shell to run.

Your way would spawn a whole extra process, but if you’re running Bash commands I suppose that doesn’t often matter.

You’re right. I’ve been trying to correct you. It seems like you’re wrong.

Those tax rates are marginal. That’s not the literal rate you pay.

1/3, huh? You must be a high-earning Californian or New Yorker. I don’t think anyone else pays that much.

Good enough for the HOV lane.

That’s not ICE. They’re showing their faces.

I’d like to pretend that he’s not really the president. It’s not really working out that great for me.

They’re a bunch of fucking monkeys, jumping around like savages, scratching their armpits, and throwing shit at the walls. I don’t want to live in a world where people so entirely lack a moral compass that they can cheer on murder as an outlet for their anger.

You think she gets tired of being called a “girl”?
