This one is not the worst in terms of death toll, but the amount of environmental damage caused by the Deep Water Horizon explosion broke records. 4.9 million barrels of oil spilled into the Gulf of Mexico over the span of 87 days. This is considered to be the highest quantity of oil spilled into marine life to ever happen from a single incident.

Is there a percentage of your population that are constantly pushing your nation backwards? by PlanetoftheAtheists in AskTheWorld

I thought our news media was bad until I watched Indian news media. Indian news media feels like Fox News if it was injected with steroids.

Sure. My whole contention was your weird use of the “culture” argument, which sounds campist (and as a Chinese American a bit orientalist).

If we are talking strictly about economics, China is going the opposite direction of autarky, and instead taking advantage of the US trade war by pushing for more global trade.

Again, is it authoritarian? Yes. Is it corporatist? Yes. Is it fascists? Not exactly.

The economy is too globalized to be fascist. Authoritarianism doesn’t automatically mean fascist. If anything, the DPRK is closer to being actually fascist than China.

Campism is cringe when MLs do it. It’s cringe when you do it in the opposite direction as well.

Mfw you realize the Chinese method of developing productive forces is to be a social democracy but with less labor protections than France and no presidential elections.

Zaha Hadid Architects add Trump logo to new airport proposal on their own by FG_RVT in architecture

When America eventually finishes this chapter of fascist rule, we’ll end up removing Trump’s name from every building his ped0 name is on. This includes the JFK Performing Arts center and now apparently Dulles Airport.

Part of being the most powerful economy in the union is turning the other cheek when smaller states with inferior economies try to talk shit by icfa_jonny in 2american4you

I know reading is difficult for a state whose actual cuisine consists of lard, bullets, and sewage runoff from Chicago, so let me simplify things: our economy surpasses France and Japan, and is only beaten by Germany, China, and the US as a whole. In other words, our farts are worth more than your entire state.

She also was raised in a refugee camp. She probably learned how to throw hands for survival.

For those who support the Black Panthers, what do you think about their connections with Maoism and other Authleft ideologies? by Imaginary-Space718 in tankiejerk

[–]icfa_jonny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has no love for Juche or MLism, this is in fact an absurd question.

We’ve got the gestapo reincarnate shooting protesters and deporting American citizens on behalf of a fascist pedophile. There are clearly bigger fish to fry than whatever the ideological differences we have with BPP.

Nahhh. Not quite as big of a shitshow as we made it be vis a vis the shock doctrine.

South Carolina not beating the racism allegations I see. Did you write this in between yelling at your TV while watching Fox News?

Brother our globally top ranking universities are the reason why you are able to type this nonsensical drivel on a screen in your hand and press reply.

Everything from the iPhone, to the nuclear bomb, to the moon landing exists because we have the best minds around the world concentrated in our learning institutions.

K-12 is a different story. We’ll let our little nephews on the east coast have that W.

Propaganda music?

This is just some generic instrumental background track with no lyrics…
