    I remember hearing about this from the The Dollop, and it made me a bit bummed that anti-china is just a deeply rooted in American labor. It’s really stupid because the average dude in China has no real beef with you, so why have beef with them? Hate your boss, not your fellow worker.

      And then there’s all the lynchings and massacres of Chinese-Americans and other Asian minorities when doing those things to black and indigenous people didn’t actually solve whitey’s problems 😀

      Probably the wealth of Americans is based on the suffering of the third world.

      I think 99.9% of Americans would think inside of their heads that being able to to afford a car every 5 years by vaporizing a whole city is a good trade off

        Goddamn that’s 100% true. I don’t even want my car (I have to one because there is no alternative) but the idea of needing to “upgrade” every 3-7 years is insane to me. I want to keep this one vehicle until the wheels fall off.
