tfw your genocide is so bad that the genocided population is still increasing :rage-cry:
This is what happens when you treat politics as nothing but a matter of aesthetics.

It's not just a psychological "avoid the subject" kind of trick. They literally refuse to give you raises no matter what. In my last job, I was likely the top developer in the company (the company had hundreds of millions of $ of runway just sitting there) and I was putting constant pressure on my boss for a raise and promotion for years (they even admitted that I was one of their top devs). Instead of trying to give me a good deal, the CTO snapped and threatened me with violence - The next day, I continued the discussion and was still pushing forward with my demands (threatening to quit) and they refused to give me anything at all. I had a nervous breakdown right there (first time ever in my entire career) and I ended up rage-quitting (it got to shouting and personal insults).
The only reason I took things this far was because I thought the system would finally yield some rewards once I showed enough initiative and ambition (backed by years of hard work and delivering great results). It didn't.
The system is completely rigged. It's an illusion that there is any kind of meritocracy. Once you really buy into all the "you control your own destiny" rhetoric and start to push yourself and others beyond the limits you thought you were capable of (when you start to impress people with your skills and ambition), you realize that it achieves nothing. It's all a big show.

By calling other countries “dystopian nations”, these people get to feel better about their own countries. Now they can say “See! Look! We’re all bad! The whole world is rotten! It’s not just us!”. This is probably why many westerners refuse to give up their State Dept. narratives even when confronted with massive evidence to the contrary. Also probably why Canadian liberals always love screaming about Uyghurs; it makes them feel better about their own genocide against the Native Americans.
O7 to the brave restaurant owner who is willing to stand up for what’s right even in the face of adversity!
No. It is not safe to say so. It is never safe to say so. Imagine if people, once confronted with bad fortune and famine, simply lied down and gave up. Imagine if in the unending horrors of the holocaust, the brave people of Russia simply gave up, laid down their arms, and let themselves be raped and slaughtered, to be hung from meat hooks. To serve as the mere chattel of the conquerors, treated as no more valuable than cattle. Imagine if in the confrontation with Japan, the people of China, faced with famine and ruin, faced with torn-apart families, plague, and destitution, faced with all odds against them, faced against an enemy who hasn’t been vanquished ever, simply laid down and let themselves become the eternal slaves of foreign powers, to let themselves be the lab rats, the guinea pigs of depraved “science”. To let their people be abducted en masse to serve as the sex slaves of the conquerors. No. It did not happen. Against all odds, it did not happen. Against all odds, they persevered, they fought back, and they won. To assume defeat and lay down your arms is to invite it, to make inevitable what isn’t inevitable.
