Yeah I thought so, I hoped the quotations would make it less so.
I still think it’s a catchy description though so I’m not changing it yet
Not meaning to be racist, but
Proceeds to say something completely, like pre WW2 level, racist
I wish there was infrastructure for them where I live, I hate driving and I like cycling
massive hairy monkey balls
i’m stealing this lmao
Now I get you, I agree
But you’re perfectly fine with working for imperialist wars across the globe
Obviously the wise and good colonizers, that know what’s best for everyone everywhere
While the bright and “civilized” Europeans were in the dark ages, the Middle East took our science and continued it, saving it from disappearing entirely.
You can believe in the barbarian narrative about them if that makes you feel better about your national history, but it’s entirely untrue.
It is therapeutic to hear the words of reason at times like these were irrational uneducated “opinions” are flung around more than ever.
World history should be mandatory in every country and tested exhaustively. Kids are able to consume the information, as long as they’re not forced to remember the absolutely useless information of it and focus on the actual point of learning history instead.
Of course it’s not to the benefit of individual countries for its citizens to be fully educated, especially when their history consists of taking advantage of the whole world and causing way more misery than the one they’re accusing others of.
More importantly, people should take the initiative to self educate and read books in their spare time. It’s hard and time consuming, but your opinion honestly doesn’t matter much when you don’t know what the hell you’re talking about and yet feel fully confident about it.
Please educate yourself, you’re embarrassing yourself and your people.

I abandoned it at some point in the second half. It was getting even more interesting but summer was ending and I no longer had as much time.
Go ask the Palestinians if US intervention has been a big misunderstanding and they’re actually looking out for them and bringing them democracy like they say
I love how the upvote/downvote rate is almost 1
Western hypocricy never ceases to amaze
Anything that makes you a captive market cannot be private or has to have a free public alternative.
If there is a private non-free alternative, it is inevitable that eventually a politician will be corrupted and opt for less public funding hoping to artificially make the private one much better, and then get their share of the profits.
Correction: trains in Greece are no longer public sector. They are all owned by Ferrovie dello stato italiane, the failure of setting up failsafes and maintenance are because it wasn’t profitable enough to do so.
A bit, but I’m joking lol
You can start by not using this font ever again
Try reading a book for 5 hours in the city surrounded by your devices, and try doing it in nature with no devices around you. We didn’t change, but our world did and we adapt with it. Of course, things wouldn’t be so bad if there weren’t people getting unimaginably rich by trapping your attention.
You mean like Tic Tac Toe within a bigger Tic Tac Toe? That was the original idea by VSauce, but I changed it to # of games won because it felt more intuitive when playing
