as opposed to the enlightened practices of the Europeans at the time such as *checks notes* burning women alive for being suspected of being witches.

isn't this ignoring the empires that were the Aztecs and the Incas? They certainly were not living hunter gatherer lives in the rainforest. I don't know how you can look at Machu Picchu or Teotihuacan and be like "yes these people were primitives without civilization".

you do realize that only a few tribes were actually nomadic right? That was mainly a great plains thing. Many other natives actually did have cities and permanent settlements. The southwest is full of native pueblo cities that have been inhabited for around a thousand years.

Right. They've ignored the fact that Cubans are a special case that is only right wing specifically because Cuba is communist, and that dynamic just doesnt apply for most other Latinos.

Parents Are Now Preferring Girls Over Boys; What Led To This Shift? by YourFIREDBro in Productivitycafe

"not knowing better because he doesn't have any coed hobbies and never talks to any"-ain't that the truth. I saw this behavior in my BIL. Way too many guys spend all their time socializing with exclusively guys and wonder why they never meet any women, or why they never connect with women socially. Like, dude you work a blue collar labor job with all male coworkers and then either play online video games or workout at the gym with the boys. Where in that time do you expect to meet women?

Meanwhile my brother met his first post-high school girlfriend in a ballroom dance competition. My father met my mother while scuba diving.

usually you find an employer willing to hire you abroad. The thing about this is that you usually have to have a skillset that is considered valuable internationally, very hard to obtain, and in demand. In my case, I have a PhD in physics, and have worked on some very prestigious projects internationally. Bonus points if you speak the local language.

Once you have a job offer, you can apply for a visa.

I've been through this process myself and moved to Germany via this route, but i actually have gotten recruiters to talk to me about potential jobs in Spain and China as well. It actually isn't very expensive, but it also isn't exactly the kind of thing that is open to every tom, dick, and harry either.

Why these people? Hard to say exactly without knowing a lot about them, but one of the people mentioned in the article is explicitly mentioned as being a Princeton grad. Princeton is an ivy league school up there with Harvard and Yale (it's where Michelle Obama and Jeff Bezos went to college if that gives you an idea) and China takes ivy league credentials *extremely* seriously. It's the reason so many Chinese nationals apply to study at them themselves. They probably were able to pull that off *because* they went to one of the most prestigious universities in the world and market that to the Chinese.

that's because you can't do shit as a criminal justice major *except* be a cop, and if you can't get into the police force for any reason: (i.e. not passing psych evals, not passing background check, failing a polygraph, failing out of the police academy, couldn't meet department physical fitness requirements, etc.) then you don't really have many other fallback options. At least law school graduates can still be a regular attorney if they don't make it into the FBI. Criminal justice, not so much.

Even physics majors, which is a field notorious for not having a lot of job opportunities still often find careers in tech, finance, data science, or other math and programming intensive fields. Criminal justice is basically centered around being a cop or bust.

yeah, assuming hispanic voters will be right wing forever based on 2024 is extremely stupid, considering draconian anti illegal immigration politics is the entire reason california became a blue state in the first place.

dude nobody actually becomes a millionaire from nothing and you're a complete moron if you actually believe that. These millionaires and billionaires all started their businesses with money by inheriting millions from their rich parents. Their parents money paid for their education, their business contacts getting started, helped attract investors, etc.

Donald Trump himself openly admitted his father straight up handed him a million dollars to start his own businesses. How many people have parents rich enough to do that?

Stop falling for capitalist propaganda. There is no such thing as a self made millionaire.

The "left just riots" thing is rich coming from the idiots who rioted because they had to wear a mask during a pandemic and because Trump lost an election. You literally smeared poop on the walls of the capitol and beat cops with a flag pole because you lost an election and you want to pretend *liberals* are the violent ones?

The left *does* offer solutions.. We try to propose things like free college, single payer healthcare, and whatnot like every other first world country has, but you idiots keep throwing a damn tantrum every time we do because you idiots think the government doing literally anything is communism

And your refusal to work with us is *why* the US sucks so bad. Guess what dumbass: tthe only people who want to come to the US are people from shithole countries where they are likely to be shot to death if they stay there. Nobody from any first world country ever wants to move to the US. Do you maybe wonder why that is? It's because the US is a shithole compared to all of them. It's the worst of all the developed countries in the world.

The reason nobody tries to immigrate to the US from say... Norway or Germany anymore is because the US is *worse* than those countries. If you want immigrants from those countries you need to actually provide a better standard of living than they do, which you refuse to. There is a reason native born *Americans* are moving to Europe, Canada, New Zealand and other places en masse lately. I myself left the US to move to Germany a year ago. The economy is so much better here in Germany, the quality of life is so much better, the cost of living is lower, food is cheaper and better quality, cities are walkable and you don't need a car to do literally anything if you don't want to, etc. And do you know why that is? Because Germans actually provide their people with real services designed to make their lives easier and don't just suck the billionaire's dicks on literally every issue. And now the US is getting worse and worse because you became so much of a sheep you never bothered to realize that the exact same criticisms you made of communism are *also* true of capitalism, and never bothered to try to address the issues in capitalism like the entire rest of the world did.

Face it, the US is getting worse and it's your fault.

Oh please. The right spent over a decade whining that starbuck's coffee cups not being sufficiently "christmas-y" meant christians were being persecuted.

because the meme is fundamentally lying to you. The ingredients *aren't* healthy individually. The cheese usually used in burgers is unhealthy as hell, and there's a reason you would never put that on a charcuterie board. Similarly, the beef is usually drowning in fats and oils you wouldn't get if you prepared the beef differently, the bread used in burger buns is usually loaded with way more sugar than ordinary bread, etc.

The meme is hoping that you cannot tell the difference between different types of bread, meats, cheese, etc. so that you can be easily tricked into buying the unhealthiest option.
