What would you do if you were a deliveryperson and you see Dasha opening the door like this?

Should we all unironically move to China?

Been thinking about it. Seems to me that China might be the cure for suicidal doomerism.

All the experiences of Western expats and immigrants are highly positive other than bosses being strict. Only country in the world currently as far as I can tell where the government actually listens to common mortals. Authoritarianism is exaggerated, Bilibili censorship for example is largely the role of the CEO, government doesn't give a shit if you use a VPN. Anglo-Americansphere border officials are way worse with harassing (and kidnapping) foreigners, nobody gives a shit in China if you travel to Taiwan for example (in fact, despite what the media would have us believe, it's extremely common).

I don't know, am I crazy?

One of the more annoying trends is a sort of contrarian consumption where some big media conglomerate produces garbage, but it's garbage that offends the other side of the culture war, so a bunch of dumbasses support and consume it. Combined with the phenomenon of "hate watching," it made what was the creation of what were essentially bait products decently profitable, but I think this trend might be dying out with Snow White flopping so badly.

The worst case of this might be Star Trek Discovery, if only because of the degree to which it shits on the very series its based on. Star Trek is a series based on the idea that humanity gets its shit together, solves all its nasty problems and goes out exploring the stars for the noble goals of science and exploration. Discovery tears all that down. The Federation was just another evil colonial empire all along. No, a better society isn't possible and you're a stupid, naive baby if you ever thought it was. The only thing you can hope for is to be on the right side of the fence, or for the intervention of a heroic individual if you aren't. It gives some nods to progressive values, but all that is so much virtue signalling in the greater context of a story which posits that a better society is not possible. It is the very essence of reaction, and no amount of chuds getting triggered by it changes that.

I'm a part of a few Star Trek groups, and I've come to the conclusion that there's basically two types of Discovery (and NuTrek) fans

1) Literal "consume product and get excited for next product" brand loyalists. Idiots who will literally buy anything that has the fucking Star Trek brand on it, and actually take pride in that fact. One of the reasons why bad adaptations, remakes and reboots that make egregious changes from the source material is because these companies think "fandoms" are a bunch of stupid rubes who will buy literally any old garbage so long as the fucking brand is attached to it, and this sort of person proves that, to a certain extent, they're right.

2) Idiots who saw that the Critical Drinker or whoever-the-fuck reactionary YouTuber made a video hating on the series and that meant that the good and progressive thing is to be a Discovery and NuTrek mega fan no matter what the actual content is.

It's stupid and I hate it, and hopefully its about to die and never come back.

New World Order coming soon!

I have a theory for why the cuck fetish is so prevalent amongst Gen Z men - it basically boils down to two things:

1/ Gen Z males are beginning to have sex or engage in sexual activity at a far later point in their lives compared to older generations. A high number of Gen Z males aren't getting laid until their early 20s, thus missing out on formative sexual development in late adolescence.

2/ Gen Z men have consumed more porn, and from an earlier age, than any other generation in history. The internet has provided Gen Z with an unlimited source of highly graphic, hardcore porn at their fingertips.

These two things might not seem too bad in isolation. However, in combination it means that Gen Z males are experiencing their entire sexual development through watching porn and in the position of the voyeur i.e. just watching. Observing.
The result is that when they actually get to having sex with a real woman, it feels unnatural to them. They have been conditioned to feel most at home not being involved in the sexual act itself, instead preferring to get off from the visual rather than physical stimulus while masturbating. Which is why being a cuck is so appealing to them.

What do you think of my theory /siberia/?

I'm predicting that we will see a large portion of "Gamergaters" turn to liberalism in the coming months. They have never had any significant political politics beyond "more sexy women in video games" and some vague notions of anti-censorship and libertarianism. Whatever relationship they may have had with mainstream and dissident rightist movements is coming to an end, as the only thing they built their movement on is going to be further censored and removed. I can see them turning into Agent Kochinski and hasan types. That said, a smaller portion will probably end up following a dissident rightist path like Sargon, whose apparently become a Socialist, even posted about how Lenin had some good Ideas
