Sasuke, my son

the idea that america is uniquely evil is just the left-wing version of american exceptionalism btw. yes, america is able to harm more people than any empire prior. no, you cannot get everything you need to know about the world by watching just american news. no, the rest of the world is not passively waiting to be acted upon by america. no, we arent gods specialest empire. we dont have complete world dominion, and youre still a chauvinist

hating me will cause even more geopolitical issues

Western governments (particularly Australia, the UK, and a handful of US states) have spent the last however many years whining about the Great Firewall, a rational decision enacted primarily to encourage development of indigenous Chinese internet infrastructure, only to turn around and ban half the internet anyway because children might be having too much fun on roblox after they made sure to make public life completely inaccessible to children and miserable anyway, and we can't allow for children having fun or god forbid not being 100% suicidal in our sacred freedom land. God bless the king, someone quickly annihilate that child for trying to have a normal conversation with someone over the internet

Every Chinese who puts in the effort to VPN into Western internet is rewarded with racist copypasta, and now you also have to use a VPN in much of the West if you want to access the broader internet but you'll keep being racist to Chinese doing the same

the most valueable skill a white leftist can ever learn is how to take an L with grace.

You gotta be able to take an L if your moral and ethical belief systems are to be capable of guiding you. Otherwise you just have an idealized self where you get really mad and scared when anyone points out it isn't actually you. How the fuck are you gonna walk the walk if you can't handle being told when you are not, in fact, actually walking it

you cannot just socially transition into being a good person you are going to have to settle for being a messy human being who has to try and fail and keep trying to get better like everyone else. yeah even when it's embarassing and sucks for you a lot.

Ya gotta learn to earnestly and honestly say "Oh shit, my bad."

And to then end the sentence there, not launch into a paragraph of explanation or panicked super-apology.

just heard about lindsey graham. I don't know what to say. every interaction I had with him, he was a veritable ray of sunshine. I still remember sitting by the lake, tracing reeds across the water's surface and promising that those beautiful days of summer would last forever
