yes I fucking hate it here.

Man will I not miss this country (or region in general) once I can leave. I really hope the EU won’t make us fight until everything here is turned to dust…

“OMG GOP WTF!” beyond all parody.

“My economy is DYING! PLEASE help me budget this ASAP: Infrastructure: $20/ Education: $30/ Health: $25/ Azov thirst trap posters: $50 bil/ Giant Meat Grinder: $150 bil”/ “Can you cut the meat grinder?”/ “NO!”

“We affirm that we do not condone any behaviour that violates Republic of Korea laws, rules, or directives, and we remain committed to maintaining the highest standards of good order and discipline,” the USFK said.

This is your highest standard.

Yeah. When you’re stuck in dire conditions, it’s very hard to be hopeful or even realistic in your expectations of a better world, and yet it arrives all the same. Makes me hopeful about the Ukrainian war ending sooner so that I can leave, and perhaps my people will see the light of reason again while I’m still breathing. No matter what, we cannot surrender - the better world is much closer than we realize!

That’s the point of Chinese diplomacy - respect their sovereignty while using dialogue, trade, and economic influence to promote your political ideology. No coups, no invasions, no policing the world, just leading by example. Now, I am under no illusion that capitalist leaders are gonna have a change of heart and become communists. They won’t listen, but their people will. And that’s the point. People in this country will one day have a realization - “that’s the civilized world, that’s how diplomacy is done, that’s how you run a society and an economy - by the people, for the people, and we can have that for ourselves too”, which is exactly what the PRC is planning for.

Thank you, I will give this book a read.

Thank you, this was very informative, and I’m glad I didn’t just read articles that uniformly painted Kowloon as a crime den with no nuance.

P.s. if you have info about similar political entities(?) feel free to share also.

I was hoping to hear from a trans person as well, but this has been rather informative nonetheless. I am sure things will only improve as time goes on.

I really hope we surrender within this or next year, if I get to 25 and am conscripted to die in the final fucking months/weeks of the war I’m haunting yankoids and euros for centuries to come like a spectre of communism istg.

“Such international oversight, Tymoshenko said, may have been appropriate in countries such as Afghanistan, Liberia and Sierra Leone, but not in Ukraine.” “We are not Afghanistan.” Least racist Ukrainian politician
