>Russia: Pretends to be diametrically opposed to the US but is more or less the exact same politically speaking.
This is a delusional statement and no I am not a "zigger." I acknowledge Russia is a socially conservative and backwards country but to pretend it is "the same" as the US is just delusional. Even with things like Ukraine, which was wrong for Russia to do, Russia was much more incentivized to do that by an immediate threat (NATO) than the US was threatened by, say, Vietnam, or Iraq, or any of the countries the CIA couped.

Is the FSB going around and couping dozens of countries? Even with the similarities between the conquest of siberia and manifest destiny, or the similarity between pogroms against Jews and American lynch mobs, I find the comparison to America unfair.

>so dirty and unhygienic that they killed 1/3 of Amerindian population of Americas(North and South)by disease
That was likely to happen regardless of hygienic differences. Back then it was impossible to stay hygienic on a months long voyage on a ship, and indigenous Americans had not developed any kind of immunity to smallpox.

>Probably the British Empire, simply by scale
It's amazing how much good press the British have. Germany, Japan, Israel and the USA *wish* they had this. To this day, it's considered acceptable to admire the British Empire and people like Cecil Rhodes, Queen Victoria and Winston Churchill. Imagine killing millions of Africans and Indians for centuries and nobody thinks of you at the same terms as Nazi Germany. A lot of people on the Left even seem to think that George III was John Brown freeing the slaves or something when Britain wouldn't officially abolish slavery until 1833. According to this video, the British killed 165 million people in India alone and stole 45 trillion dollars from India. Also, read this War Nerd article:

Yhis retard thinks israel controls the us and not the other way arojnd

>>709882
It is a mutual thing rather than hierarchical relationship.

>>709884
Well then answer your own question.
Why doesn't russia or china or really any other country richer than israel send a few billion to US politicians and buy the country?

Now that's some burger punk.

>>706280
It is. Remember liberals are capitalists

Is it burgerpunk to have dreams about school shootings? I had a dream last night where Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold were hunting me in a school. I was hiding in an alcove and then a bathroom stall and right before they found me, the alarm clock went off. Thing is, I was 9 when Columbine happened and from then until now, I never had a dream about this before.

he went to valhalla with Charlie kirk
rip brother

i love that hes a japanese "pagan" but instead of worshipping traditional japanese deities or spirits he chooses the greek pantheon because he thinks its cooler

That comic looks like it's commenting on the recent right wing wokeness regarding people making jokes about Charlie "Spongeneck redpants" Kirk's assassination. So Ishida is probably still alive.

>>709873
shinto is very pagan tbh, with the whole deity/spirits of nature etc,it's kinda like if the greek pantheon adopted the abrahamic god and traditions,you do christmas,and then on new year you pray to the rain god or posëidon.

>>709873
>>709878
I think it's just his idea of what Greek paganism is like is simpler than his idea of what Japanese paganism is like. With Shintoism you're introduced head first with arches that are portals or something and everything's built without nails and there's fish hanging from people's windows for some reason, while greek stuff you just have a bunch of gacha characters going around having sex with animals and getting into loony tunes-esque quarrels.

i think the right would want vengeance by raping a leftist leader, and the left would rape right wingers back, and it'd become the world rape incident

No.
During the train journey I got robbed for almost 10€ by I guess a ukrainian beggar, but not like a homeless person, I mean the kind that tells you a sob story about their 8 month pregnant wife and how they dont have money for ticket to get home, promissing to return it back, not targeting small donators, but some dumb schmuck (me I guess) willing to give larger quantities of money. And I am pretty sure it wasnt actual real story, because the shit was clearly rehersed. I asked him for ID actually considering donating more (I know I am a fucking idiot), said he does not have it on him. I feel profound sense of loss over it, the upside being it is overshadowing bad feeling caused by the event I refuse to speak.
Just let me fucking go home already. I hope grocery store is still open, have nothing to eat.

And its finally over. Im writing this post from comfort of my shitty little room. Still have to do laundry and clean the muddy tent. Supermarket was closed, but at I found small grocery store where I could buy coconut milk to go with leftover cereals so I dont have to go to sleep hungry. On the bus back this old man caught my attention, he seem distraught, very sad expression, his mount was constantly moving like he is mumbling to himself. Had whole bunch of full bags around him, and a guitar case. Though occurred to me he is recently homeless. I hope not, I get sad and keep having bad thoughts. I dont know how to deal with evils of this world.
So this would be the final footnote on my social year. Didnt do anything. It has been two years since finishing college and failing to secure appropriate employment, but the first one at least I kind of did stuff, moved, tried to get my shit together, but this year has been just a hole in my life. I need to get moving, start sending CVs again, study something more, skill up, get an actual career started, something I wouldnt have to be ashamed to say when people ask me, paying enough to rent me my own small flat. Bulk season is starting, so for the next 6 months my food budget is going to inflate too. My time on this world is running out, I have to live a life. Getting socio-economic position in order is the first step, I cant interact with women bearing the shame of my low value. Then maybe I find some affection.

>>709716 but how am i going to pay for my chihuahua pic datacenters??? :C

>>709727 i am, & i'm whining about uni because i'm lazy :C

>>709847
Do you know what would increase your socio-economic position? Telling us what you did that got you so down.
