If you are invading other countries then you are NOT a part of the international Olympic Committee. Your presence is against everything the Olympics stands for.

His name fits.

The US find slavery perfectly acceptable - it's right there in the constitution

> Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

All you need to do is jail them and there is your slave workforce.

> [Our nation incarcerates more than 1.2 million people in state and federal prisons, and two out of three of these incarcerated people are also workers. But there are two crucial differences: Incarcerated workers are under the complete control of their employers, and they have been stripped of even the most minimal protections against labor exploitation and abuse. Nationally, incarcerated workers produce more than $2 billion per year in goods and more than $9 billion per year in services for the maintenance of the prisons.] (https://www.aclu.org/news/human-rights/captive-labor-exploitation-of-incarcerated-workers)

Not that I support this war but the US invaded Iraq in 2003 and the Athens Olympics was in 2004 and the US participated in those Olympics

People just see that you think they are being led like sheep and get defensive.

A little civil discourse goes a long way at attempting to teach the people about complicated concepts like these.

Although you may say things a little straight forward I believe it's from the heart and that matters alot. I also totally agree with most of what you say about opting out of the US currency which has been an actual approach at strangling the power of government during the colonial Era which had some long lasting effects.

I want to read David Graebers 5000 years of debt. Talks about the archeological history of money and the creation of the concept of debt. Last book he wrote before he suddenly died after he landed in Italy.

Just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Fucking pissed about this shit also.

Stay cool 😎

If you are invading another country, you don't get to participate in international sporting competition. End of story.

Given the uncertainty surrounding Imran Khan's ousting in last year's constitutional crises, it is best that Pakistan not draw attention to itself.

An even more correct thing would be to say they support colonial invasions and illegal annexations.

Interestingly, I bet a lot of North Koreans find him attractive. It seems that people who were so poor in childhood that didn’t get to eat much find fat people attractive

US doesn’t find slavery acceptable. China does.

Desantis will run. I hope he gets crushed by the weight of American optimism.

Possessing drug paraphernalia is illegal in many countries

As an Aussie, I’m surprised that we are on this list. There are a lot of countries who give us extra barriers to entry because they don’t like how our visa system treats their citizens.

People have been saying this for a thousand years. It’s nonsense.

We aren’t?

I can see this is pretty unpopular but there are elements of the upper elite who believe through generations of education they are ascending into a new breed of super human.

Not kidding either, I have heard billionaires talk about this over there freaking fancy Select sandwiches and ice cold bottled Perrier I was delivering them during board meeting lunches. Or there collection of 28 small production batch sports cars.

Even Obama insinuated something like this. In his A&E biography special, he didn't believe in automatic voter registration, as the majority of the population was not educated enough to make decisions on how to govern the country he said.

Talking about a system of righteous meritocracy where only the most educated and steadfast should and would be able to vote agreeing with a hearty republic of scholars rather than direct voting was preferential, even necessary to maintain America's world dominance. Essentially alluding that campaign finance laws benefitted the country because it kept Joe Shmoe from being a congress member.

Congress is supposed to be average members of society so that the law reflects each states group of constituents.

I supported Obama and even campaigned for him and when is saw his A&E biography my heart just sank because if I had known that's how he felt about me I would never have supported him.

It may sound crazy but there are definitely truths in your philosophical take on how we are being controlled. At least from the investor class people I have met. Also a Google board member called me a peasant during a walkthrough of our company a few years back where they were considering investing.

"Let us not talk about business in front of the peasants please".

In a room full of PHd research scientists and engineers....

That would be illogical.

Russian history summary:. . And then it gets worse!

I just thought it was funny how you were making up a story about how you have wealthy acquaintances who pay armies of people to post on Reddit. You have a fanciful imagination I must say. Not too different from the Pizzagate people.

What an embarrassment of a country.
