On the bright side, American corporations are more diverse now than ever before in history, so they got that going for them, which is nice.

Surely the CCP would be the first to want me to believe that there is no such thing as CCP propaganda.

Alright then

Did somebody say light?

I’ve never considered it before, but now I wonder what I’m missing out on.

To be fair, they did invent the WWW, which

1. Few people can even tell apart from the Internet
2. Is by far the most popular application of it

They have Internet in Europe?

Could you not?

This is why we can’t have free healthcare.

The only Dutch food I can vouch for is hagelslag.

Not everyone who says to Me, "Lord, Lord," shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.

Jesus didn't live in a democracy, so he never talked about how people should exercise their right to vote, all he said was love your neighbor and pay your taxes. That's why I said it's cringe to invoke his name for the purpose of partisan politics, because anything you say about what he would or would not have approved of is pure speculation.

Also, I don't vote (and I never have), so please stop blaming me for whatever issues you have with the current administration. I don't rely on the government to make ends meet, so I'd rather not carry the burden of feeling responsible for whatever mess they're deciding to create. If you feel like taking part in that process, that's your choice, but I'm going to wash my hands clean of that guilt.

Fun fact, if you look up "Dutch cuisine" on Wikipedia, this is literally the second picture (right after Gouda cheese).

Deepfrying is for fast food restaurants.

Yeah, he probably deserves one of those.

I'm sorry, but what exactly made you think I'm supporting the Republican party here, just because I hinted at the fact that the Democrats are no angels either? What did it matter that Democrats were in control for the last four years when grocery prices still went up by 100%?

Where did I advocate for tax cuts for the wealthy, or cutting welfare to the needy? All I said was that as far as I understand it, Jesus didn't advocate for voting to have the government take care of your neighbor, but to do it yourself instead. Which, as far as I understand it, just means that you can't vote your way out of your problems, you have to take personal responsibility as much as you can.

If there is someone in your life that needs more help than the government is providing, and you have the means to help them, you should do so, instead of complaining that the government isn't doing enough. It doesn't matter who's in charge of the White House, what matters is what you do with what you're given.

IDK, business people tend to make a LOT of money from successful artists, so if anything, they should encourage this.

Invoking the name of the Lord for the purpose of partisan politics is cringe no matter who does it.

He advocated for people giving directly to the poor (i.e. charity), not for letting the government handle that.

What does that have to do with anything?

The question was whether or not he advocated for socialism.
