Yep, I thought the front was in shadow, so I always saw gold and white.

Mr Lee’s Hong Kong will be perfectly safe thanks to these friendly puppies!

Wait. Childlike sex dolls? WTF?

Ceiling cat will watch me masturbate forever, you cannot fool me!

Ah, but how will we know you weren’t born yesterday?

Oh wait, I have an idea…

This sort of hilarious act of subversion (pun intended) makes me wonder if the loonies who think it’s sentient are right.

I bet you one hundred dollars that you cannot enforce this.

Here’s how good your replacement is: I assumed the one on the bottom was the DIY one and you’d 3D printed it. Top one is much prettier.

That is not true at all. If it was, I would litter everywhere, and my body freak, health-obsessed adopted sister would never have thrown plastic wrappers cheerfully out the window of the car. (She does not do that any more, we trained her to give a shit. Hard upbringing, from which our adoption lifted her.)

It would make sense if you littered on that day only, before the pick-up, and only if it wasn’t light enough to blow away.

There are exceptions, yes. But most of the ones with a conscience left when they realised what they were supporting.

Can you point me to a source then? I’d be happy to be wrong. I know the Bolsheviks had a lot of popular support, but they did not win the elections.

Oh, it’s gonna be as obvious as Epstein’s “suicide”. They don’t care about being believed.

They do not deserve our friendship or our protection. They are in the same position as civilians in any expansionist colonial project.

I would not kill them, even the rapists, unless it was to stop them in the act. I do not believe in the death penalty.

But why should we keep protecting them, while they attack others who we do not protect? What does that make us?

I’m still pissed about the Bolshevik antidemocratic takeover. There was something magical happening there. Even if the Soviets weren’t as evil as the propaganda says - and they weren’t - they brutally suppressed an actual, real-life people’s movement, which was organically finding solutions in a moment of post-Imperial euphoria. The cynical fuckers thought it wasn’t good enough because they didn’t, after all, trust the people.

Our submarine deal was actually made in 2019, by the worst Prime Minister Australia has ever had. The man is so unpopular that the thing he’s most known for is shitting his pants at a McDonald’s in Sydney. Which barely beats going to Hawaii on holiday during Australia’s biggest ever bushfires.

Scott Morrison. Couldn’t pour piss out of a boot.

At least you’re not here in Australia, groaning as out defence minister still insists that we’re definitely getting our US-made submarines that we’ve paid for under the AUKUS deal…

They had pro-rape riots.

Just asking questions, eh?

You might be innocently asking, but be aware that what you did is a common rhetorical technique that right-wing propagandists use to stop people from caring about violence against the innocent.

If you had brought up the possibility that the police were, say, killing children for money with their drones, or their drones were being hacked by criminal gangs, or that US mercenary groups - like the one run by Erik Prince - are actually flying them, then you may not have mistakenly furthered the goals of empire.

When Dick Cheney was making the world safe for Halliburton? Yeah, there’s no comfort there.
