USA is more like a belligerent abusive unwashed alcoholic pedophile seeking respect
- USA IS a belligerent abusive unwashed alcoholic pedophile seeking respect
  Fixed that for you
That is neo feudalism.
- Neo-Feudalism is when the big Corps have too much power. I think that is the goal of dark maga.
Always have been. They just used to be less direct about it.
- At least back then they knew the landlord fixed the boiler and dealt with the rat infestation. Now you have to do it yourself and pay the landlord for the honor.
Uh oh, US gonna put tariffs on SEA now.
"Landlord Seeking Rent" sounds too reasonable to describe the situation.
I think "Squatter Demanding Homestead" is a better description.
Lmao Singapore is saying this. I guess they have experience
It’s always been the same. I wonder why he’s signalling this now ?
- Are you really saying Trump is the same? Nothing has changed with Trump?
  
  I’ve gone back over my comment, and I can’t see any where I said anything about Trump.
  I checked what Ng Eng Hen said, and he didn’t mention Trump, so do you mind if we stay on topic ?
