There's also an audiobook of inventing reality on torrents and youtube, if that's your thing.

Their tablet naming is at least a little more sane.

I don't know why companies don't just put the release year in the name. That'd be much simpler than having to keep track of device generations.

Holy mother of racism batman

I also use this, but I think OP wants a kde app or applet of some kind.

Same, endeavorOS has been my default install for years now.

Distrowatch does their rankings by page hits, it's not the best indicator of either usage or popularity.

These are really well done, nice! I love the 4th one as they're a bit chonky.

The majority of the world, notably Islamic countries, who've been bombed by US and british planes for almost a century now, disagree with you. Only the countries aligned with the US empire are buying this line.

You can also just go to Xinjiang, and see for yourself, unlike the main person peddling this narrative, Adrian Zenz, an anti-semitic evangelical who works for the US government, and doesn't speak a word of mandarin.

Hard to argue with the threat matrix decision chart in there. Dog did sound research.

Dog's gonna have to write another abstract on why matt should not be allowed to move in.

It's clear that you equate an empire's atrocities with their victim country's self defense.

Saying "all governments are equally bad" while the US is bombing them outright or funding their destruction is tone-deaf.

Or eastern promises. Viggo has a good range.

And those are?

Seriously, link these without sourcing Zenz or another US or British state media source.

The fact the government lies about China, while China is still bad behind the scenes, can both be true.

This is just vague-posting unless you actually link some credible china-bad studies that aren't sourced from British or US state media.

Obligatory US soldier pasta:

You see american choppers in the bright blue sky, hundreds and hundreds of screaming american soldiers drop from it, you look across the field and see the tanks rolling in. You hear a loud explosion and realise that the shrine you have protected for thousands of years with tooth and nail is destroyed by the empire, you come to the realisation that this is very probably the end of your people who’ve struggled to survive all these centuries. You realise that very soon there is going to be a river of blood of your people here; white phosphorus and depleted uranium will be shot very soon, deforming babies for decades to come, and millions of your people are gonna be killed. Your millennia old language and religion will be wiped out, you’re very likely the last of your kind.

Suddenly, an American soldier kicks you down, puts his foot on your neck and aims his standard ar-15 on the side of your head all while screaming; you realise you’re gonna die, and you won’t have to see the destruction of your community that you fostered so carefully all these centuries for.

Just before he pulls the trigger, you think to yourself, “To be fair to him, he probably had a low GPA in highschool and didnt have a health-care, those are notoriously hard to get in America”.

Losurdo really drives home that white/western supremacy has been a global project that's gone through many phases, not just limited to one country.

The word untermensch for example, comes from lothrop stoddard, a US white supremacist and eugenicist who greatly inspired the nazis. They also took lebensraum from manifest destiny, and openly wanted to emulate what the US did to its native population, in eastern europe.

After the nazis broke the rules and attacked westward and started western infighting by attacking britain and france, then lost in ww2, the US took up the mantle of the west's leading country who would keep the non-white populations of the world in check, by bombing anyone who dared to challenge colonialism or neo-colonialism, or impede their control of resources and prevent the spice from flowing.

Your comment got like 10 downvote from 2 year old no content accounts. The redditors are here on the fediverse to correct the record.

For all the orientalists below:

Two (non-white-supremacist) posts a day?!!? Total bot behavior.
