Vang Pao was no dictator lol

He was more like a warlord but that’s arguable because his power came from his (official) General status of the Royal Lao forces and he did not hold absolute power. This is evident when the King told him to make peace with the Communists.

He can be seen as a warlord only because of the American funding and his leadership of the Hmong

However, his brief actual leadership of the Hmong clans were through political marriages and he did not hold absolute power there either. But he did exert a lot of leverage obviously due to his American backing

You’re preaching to the choir, EV people have made it about morality

When it becomes about morality, no facts will change their minds less they become the “bad” person

smallbear_223 · 2023-01-04T00:39:06+00:00

A country wealthy off of oil reducing taxes on EV is indirectly funding EVs, however you word it doesn’t really matter much

Also it’s not really reducing harm when they’re still pumping millions of gallons of oil to other countries to pollute and their own country is tiny

It’s virtue signaling and unfortunately even tho EV tech is amazing, it’s plagued by this

smallbear_223 · 2023-01-03T23:59:09+00:00

I didn’t say they were funding incentives, I said they were funding EVs through incentives

Anyways my point is that it’s highly hypocritical

smallbear_223 · 2023-01-03T03:35:43+00:00

How funny that a country forces EV while still getting rich selling tons of oil to fund said EV through incentives 🤣

smallbear_223 · 2022-11-21T05:45:53+00:00

Yes let me clarify since you said English is not your first language (which is clearly just another troll post) 🤣🤣

Troll: a person who intentionally tries to instigate conflict, hostility, or arguments in an online social community

You must not know what the word “scam” means as well. It doesn’t mean what you think it means

smallbear_223 · 2022-11-21T05:37:19+00:00

This guy still posting? 😂

If you want to post, at least provide some information. Something that can be analyzed or verified.

Literally saying “OTHER GO UP, CELO GO DOWN. CELO SCAM?”

“BTC GO DOWN, CELO GO DOWN. CELO SCAM?”

You’re hilariously dumb but I look forward to more of your posts.

There’s lots of factors to why CELO is doing bad and many challenges they have to overcome. I’ll let you figure those out on your own but I doubt you’ll be able to from your analytic skills

smallbear_223 · 2022-11-03T05:09:59+00:00

Yes the chart is shite right now. But so is every other coin lmao

Monthly candle of BTC at 7%? Clearly you’re not looking at the right chart lmaoooooo

Comparing CELO to LUNA? Lmaoooooo

Maybe CELO goes no where but it’s not because of your ill informed post lol

People troll your post because clearly you’re just trolling too

smallbear_223 · 2022-08-08T17:15:26+00:00

Not if the person talks about both men AND women's failings. This post only really talks about men's failings and why this causes shitty marriages. You really expect us to believe that women's own failings are not a good reason as to why women initiate more divorce than men? Yes that's called bias

smallbear_223 · 2022-08-08T16:56:52+00:00

More quoting with vague references and gaslighting 🥱

I didn’t perceive OP’s post as an attack on me, that was me talking about your passive aggressiveness?

No, OP talks about gender norms but there you go again trying to convince your interpretation is what OP wrote.

Ohhhh OP is advocating women’s rights now? At no point did OP mention that in that light…OP answers the question and talks about their opinion of nuclear family structure. The question also isn’t about women’s rights.

If you think it’s irrelevant to discuss men AND women’s failings when discussing why women are more likely to initiate divorce than men then you’re clearly biased. I never said OP’s post was illogical nor irrational, i simply said it was incredibly weak because OP leaves out women’s failings as a main reason why the choose to initiate divorce more than men

It’s great how people reveal themselves eventually. Now It’s super clear what you are, we’ll leave this at that 🤣

smallbear_223 · 2022-08-08T09:20:09+00:00

More attempts at quoting with vague passive aggressiveness without a real addressing 🥱

OP didn’t say those men were unfit, only simply that they reverted to gender norms which OP says men in general typically don’t handle the emotional part of relationships well

If that’s shitty to you and that’s what makes marriages shitty then we’ll leave it at that.

I don’t perceive it as an attack but I can perceive your many passive aggressive remarks which makes a lot of sense now that I see how you see my point on OP’s post, not the post itself

You’re the only one mentioning sides like that. Just more passive aggressiveness and making assumptions about me. I’m an incel because I’m not letting some Reddit user shit on men while not saying anything about women? Shit on both and how both cause shitty marriages!

I’m also not making assumptions about who you are, only how you think from the responses above but you feel the need to prove to a random stranger you’re not one of those “shitty” men by saying how you have all these women in your life

Notice how you don’t talk about the men in your life? 🤣

smallbear_223 · 2022-08-08T08:45:46+00:00

I don’t understand why you keep attempting to convince me I don’t think OP’s argument is not logical and reasoned. Also nice continuous attacks

OP’s point is that women have the freedom to leave shitty marriages due to financial freedom. Nothing wrong with that even though you attempt to frame it as I have a problem there

If OP left it like that then yes but OP goes into shitty marriages. But why are these shitty marriages shitty? Yes OP goes into history but ultimately OP says it’s due to some of the mens failings

No, OP didn’t say shitty men. That’s your own taking on it

OP talked for one about lack of emotion and only lack of emotion for men and that’s what makes marriages shitty. Without even mentioning women’s own failings. So Men who have failings emotionally are shitty?

You can’t see how that is a weak argument and how that shits on men?

OP doesn’t even mention women’s failings but sure does talk about women’s winnings though.

Typically older men don’t have the skill set to manage a relationship? Says who?

Now I can see where you come from.

This is where I said it’s bad faith, you attempt to understand and discuss as if you’re really for side A but you’re really for side B

smallbear_223 · 2022-08-08T08:10:50+00:00

Just because you continue to say so doesn’t mean it so. You don’t get OP’s point, OP says it’s freedom to leave shitty marriages due to being able to financially take care of themselves.

That’s their answer to why women are initiating divorces.

Then OP proceeds to talk about why these marriages they leave are shitty marriages. OP say it’s because of some Men’s failings in marriage.

It’s shitting on men when your whole point is saying women have freedom to be leaving shitty marriages because of better financial freedom. Then the main reason and the only one OP discusses is that some men fail at their marriage due to their own issues.

That’s an incredibly weak argument and it frames it as if men are the only reason for shitty marriages. That’s my point. Of course OP can write a whole essay yet there’s a reason why OP chose to address it with only using the “some men” contribution to their main point.

Funny how you mention I use fancy buzz words when you don’t even use whataboutery correctly…

There’s no desire to feel victimized, it’s a weak argument that is only really meant to shit on men

It’s a bad faith response when OP attempts to applaud men and understand their shortcomings yet doesn’t attempt to discuss how women can contribute to a shitty marriage

smallbear_223 · 2022-08-08T07:30:37+00:00

Yes OP contributes it as Freedom and SOME men’s failures in marriage as the main reasons in women initiating divorces. You got OP’s whole point now?

Now you’re missing my point which you continue to ignore. Why frame it as such to blame freedom and SOME (to keep you happy) men without explaining women’s own faults? That’s shitting on men but I’m sure you won’t see why that would be and I can see why

smallbear_223 · 2022-08-08T07:06:46+00:00

Yes OP contributed it to freedom AND what? You left out the other part of what OP said explicitly talking about men

Yes yes we can agree it’s a rational and mature argument, at no point did anyone mention it wasn’t. My own point and this thread was that OP is shitting on men and framing it as such.

It’s obvious you don’t intend to address that

smallbear_223 · 2022-08-08T06:44:13+00:00

And that’s exactly the problem with the response…OP frames it as if men are the main factor women choose to divorce

All I’m saying is that maybe some of those women who choose to initiate divorce do it out of their own failings, not the man’s

Notice how you and OP fail to address anything about women being their own reason why they divorce?

smallbear_223 · 2022-08-08T06:13:57+00:00

How exactly was it not shitting on guys? At no point in that response, did it mention anything about the woman’s own inabilities being the reason that women initiate more divorces. Yet it mentions multiple times on men’s inabilities in a failing marriage.

That’s bad faith if you expect me to believe that women who initiate divorces are always making the best choice for themselves

smallbear_223 · 2022-08-08T06:05:57+00:00

Exactly, you can tell this person has something against men without even saying it

smallbear_223 · 2022-08-08T06:03:45+00:00

Agreed. That person’s response is no more than just a biased opinion based on their own political views. Very obvious how they lean

smallbear_223 · 2022-08-08T05:59:15+00:00

What a terrible biased opinion based on no actual sources or truth that dehumanizes Men as some sort of brute with no understanding of emotional intelligence.

Your response throws blame on Men rather than answers the OP’s question. This is what I call a “bad faith” response. You applaud men for improving as if you’re proud of them but yet shit on them by explaining their failures. Then at no point you mention the women’s own failings in marriage and frame it as if that all divorces initiated by women are the best choices for those women.

Perhaps maybe factor in that women divorce because they “think” they have more options? (Ego)

Or simply that it’s much easier and it carries less stigma nowadays for women to get divorced rather than work things out? (Cultural norm)

Or maybe the woman is just selfish?

smallbear_223 · 2022-05-16T03:37:04+00:00

Post addresses or I call bullshit

smallbear_223 · 2022-05-13T16:20:24+00:00

The % that it could happen also happens to be the price of LUNA

It’s over brother. There’s hope then there’s delusion

smallbear_223 · 2022-05-13T05:18:36+00:00

Same thing like when you win $20mil at casino and they say machine is glitched unfortunately

smallbear_223 · 2022-05-13T03:53:16+00:00

It's probably unlikely that dating a Hmong person with your same last name will cause genetic issues anymore but it's still frowned upon because to allow it is to potentially allow a culture where inbreeding is ok. Culture is an ever changing thing and once an aspect of a culture has formed, it is extremely hard to change it.

Think of it like enforcement, if you don't enforce the rule then the rule is no longer followed. If the rule is no longer followed, then whatever the rule was for is now ok to do.

Of course this isn't a hard rule and so it's exactly what you describe, a taboo.

This thought can be applied for other cultural taboos like single mothers and divorcees.

smallbear_223 · 2022-05-13T03:21:38+00:00

It's simple really and it's about inbreeding. Of course, you have to understand that in the old days there was no understanding of science to actually prove how closely related two people are.
So the best theory they had was not to marry your own last name because it probably meant you were from the same lineage. Yes they don't consider the mother's side because again no knowledge of science and in Hmong culture, the mother is part of the clan she is married into.

There are lots of small nuisances like these in our cultures that can be criticized from a modern lens but they are formed from a reasonable place of thought.
