Can’t afford a home, holiday and now videogames.

The EU did give surplus food to Africa. But then again, it caused the local farmers to complain because of competition.

I have the game on my backlog!

That’s genuinely the reaction when I pointed out how ridiculous it is for the military (or anyone really) to be overwhelmed by a rotting and slow-moving corpse. World War Z and I am Legend made the zombie apocalypse more believable.

The amount of supplies would have already gone critical whether or not Trump became president this term.

It is not physical money being given to Ukraine, the amount of money mentioned is the worth of already outdated military hardware being given, which would have been decommissioned in the near future anyway. And Ukraine is actually paying for this in IOU (the lend lease programme). With all things considered, helping Ukraine is bang for the buck.

The implication is that these surplus food could be given to other countries. But that means local farmers are out-competed (same reason why giving clothes to poor countries are discouraged because it out-competes local clothes manufacturers). Hence, when I said world hunger is solved, but it is not because of free market. But blaming free market alone is even an oversimplification; there is a more practical solution which I am sure will get a bigger pushback from majority of the world.

This is what people may not want to hear, but even before Trump 2.0, Pentagon did express concerns of dwindling stocks, especially if the US wants to keep China in check. It is easier to blame Trump, but this time it may not be his fault. As the article mentioned, there has been change of priorities (not that I support Israel).

America speed running to be ruled by Enclave.

We already solved world hunger but due to complex reasons free market, there are still starving people.

Ditto. Cinema for me these days are sacred and for special occasions. Some movies are only worth watching in theatres if the visual spectacles are great.

Those who support China (and Russia) because they are against American imperialism, are just supporting another imperialists.

The CCP is a pretty pragmatic organisation. They plan long term with decades in mind. Not to mention that US’ internal whackery is just easily handing over the torch to China this century. Unfortunately, it is hard to see how CCP will collapse. It might even take the next century for that to happen.

China: We came here to rescue you. Please do not resist.

I just wish that people here would take time to explain why liberals are not left instead of just attacking you.

Liberalism is not left because by definition they are socially progressive but economically conservative.

I used to think the liberals are “left” because of the Americam mainstream media (by intentionally muddying political terms) interchange liberal between left. But thanks to Philosophy Tube’s beginner’s video explaining what it means, now I know better.

You mean they know exactly what the problem but choose bury their heads in the sand.

Yes, but the motivation behind the rhetoric is far more sinister and cynical. They’re demonising affordable healthcare as excuse to stay home and play videogames.

Actually, those moutaintops would have eroded and gone after 4 billion years.

This made more sense than the opening of Prometheus.

“Pollution” is just a natural process of excretion. One could say that the oxidation of earth is cyanobacteria “polluting” their oxygen waste. But I guess how humans pollute the earth is far weirder than anything and quicker than ever experienced.
