I’m not sure what your argument is here.

You just described the exact problem. Corporations chasing cheap supply, consumers following because they have no choice, and somehow ethics never gets to be anyone’s department. That’s not a counterargument, that’s the mechanism.

Yeah, we should definitely start buying Chinese…

Edit: Everyone wants to boycott Microsoft, or the entirety of the US because of the reason du jour, but when China comes up, it’s all dickriding Emperor Pooh Bear. Do you all have any idea the atrocities that China carries out on a daily basis? I’m not talking about surveillance and sweatshops. I’m talking about genocides. Plural. Ongoing. No one likes to talk about it because we rely on Chinese goods for all our cheap Temu products or what the fuck ever, but every tiktok you scroll is another penny into the death machine. So, yeah, give them another area of commercial dominance. Surely that won’t fund the death of another ethnic group.

Didn’t have Cucumber Futures on my 2026 bingo card, but sure, I’ll take it.

I need someone to discover a deep love for Jodie Foster.

I literally said this as soon as I heard about Venezuela. He’s gonna go after Columbia, and then he’s going for the Panama Canal. If anyone is surprised by this, they haven’t been paying attention.

So, when we gonna look at Congressional stock records and see who bought Chevron shortly before this went down?

Don’t argue with the the religious zealots. The believe an invisible man in the sky made everything, but won’t bother to wonder why he isn’t putting a stop to all of the atrocities carried out around the world.

Yeesh, the bots are out in force over this one. Gonna be a bumpy ride.

I’d love to give it another chance, but the kernel doesn’t have support for my network card, so I just have to wait…

that in no way warrants a summary execution

That’s really it. It’s escalated to the point of a war crime. This is drug trafficking, not flying planes into buildings. Can drugs trafficked across a border be dangerous? Yes. Are they being trafficked because we decided that it would be better to addict the populace and then throw them in jail for modern day slavery? Also yes. Trump, Hegseth, and his ilk are creating the crimes they kill for. All under “novel interpretation of the law.” When the vapid blondes they surround themselves with aren’t helping, they’ve found another way to get their tiny cocks hard again, and it’s the same way that every Republican has, killing brown people.

Someone has to pay for the upkeep of all those Nazi summer homes.

“Ha ha, isn’t it funny how Americans tip in restaurants.”

“It is! That’ll be $5 for the water, ma’am.”

Lynch your leaders.

Give him an inch, he’ll take a yard. Fucking parasite.

Some people I look up to went there a few years back, and it just sounded so nice…

Too self-aware. Try being more narcissistic, and maybe hit yourself in the temple with a hammer. That might make it more Trumpian.

I guess they are running low on food, again. Gotta threaten war so the world can give them their annual stipend.

800?

Eight. Fucking. Hundred?

Ban me. I don’t give a fuck. If someone abused anywhere near 800 children then they just need to die. We are infinitely better off without.

I hope it does. I’m trying to marry into royalty so I can have carte blanche to do whatever I want. Like eat pancakes for dinner. Or eat pancakes for lunch. Or have a second helping of pancakes for breakfast. Really, just more pancakes.
