Guess I'll never drink water again.

The Buddha: Life is always full of suffering, so you should abandon the pursuit of wealth and enjoy the time you have.

Perfidious Albion and the Miserly Dutch: If you do not become wealthy it means that Jesus hates you and will send you to hell.

The name of the webcomic is "Webcomic Name," it's pretty good, like a simplified version of Pictures for Sad Childen.

Gommunism is when no maps.

Isn't nature spectacular?

CRACKDOWN, CRACKDOWN CRACKDOWN!

Crack down on deez nuts, lmao gottem.

Some gems from the comments:

This is a classic case of why centrally planned economies don't work. Political ideology takes precedence over efficient markets. It was destined to fail.

But... China's economy has not failed. Putting the cart a thousand miles before the horse.

It’s also why Putin is willing to throw an entire generation of Russians, including the convicts and addicts at Ukraine. Russia is dead for 40 years because he failed to fulfill his mob boss promise to Xi. China is now clearing farmland in Siberia because the typhoon floods last August and September wiped out the Chinese people’s food storage.

Wake up, babe, new BlueAnon conspiracy just dropped.

Xi's just not into him or her; only Xi.

Found Elon's account.

A lot of those, like "cracking down" on NEETs and the gaming industry, would benefit the economy if done successfully.

Liberal infighting... It's so much more boring than leftist infighting. What will happen to the NEETs when Xi presses the button?

^Huh!^ ^Hooh!^ ^Huh!^ ^Hooh!^ ^Huh!^ ^Hooh!^

Here is the copy-pata, from a former poster on this site:

Labor Kyle joined Horror Vanguard podcast as a permanent host...not only is God real, but the universe bends towards our growth of consciousness. 😔🙏 Since Matt Christman has been afflicted with Morgellons, Labor Kyle is perhaps now the brightest light of any Christian socialist podcaster. A true hero, I want my based conservative zoomer children to emulate this Florida twink as a role model as they dialectically struggle with the contradictions, confused as they wander our world full of homeless schizos ranting on the streets, a chaotic marketplace not much different than in the satanic empire that lynched Jesus in ancient Jerusalem. The empire never ended. 💀

Side note: I don't know who any of these people are, and at this point I'm afraid to ask... I hope that BMF can somehow post though this and get the help they need... This is what happens to your brain when you spend all day listening to left-adjacent podcasts on 1.75x speed.

Awesome.

What is NOT awesome are the posts on the university subreddit.

"At the George Washington University Gaza Solidarity Encampment today, the protesters held a "People's Tribunal" where they put President Ellen Granberg, Provost Christopher Bracey, the Board of Trustees, @GWPolice, and many others on trial."

"Guillotine, Guillotine, Guillotine, Guillotine"

"Calling for the execution of university officials is where free speech ends. Whoever led these chants should be expelled and face legal consequences. Zero tolerance for that behavior."

A more effective protest would have been them form a student union and saying meet our demands or we won’t pay tuition next semester.

As you know, there was always an American flag 🇺🇸 flying in that location till the protestors commandeered the companion flagpole and replaced the GW flag with a giant Palestinian flag which was illegal for several reasons inc. "When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are to be flown from separate staffs of the same height. The flags should be of approximately equal size."

Fucking FLAG LAW NERDS, the worst kind of nerds.

It’s a contagion. We’ve lost the far right to Russia and now we lost the far left to Islamism. Oh what a coincidence they’re both aligned with China which owns Tik Tok where the far left ingests content to become further radicalized. Oh this coincidentally benefits Trump? Who knew 🤷‍♂️

What a perfect response to the pro-Palestine protests at Columbia University.

Who do I blame for this. Is it the apartheid state of Israel? Is it the empire of America which supports it as a militarized proxy state? No, it is the children who are wrong. And who is corrupting the children? Russia, China, and Donald Trump, who are all in cahoots. Blue Maga, meet Blue Q-Anon.

Here are some quotes from article #1,000 about China being about to collapse.

Last year the country achieved growth of 5%, but

but

Xi Jinping’s response is to double down on an audacious plan to remake China’s economy. Blending techno-utopianism, central planning and an obsession with security

techno-utopianism = using science to improve your country. central planning = when the government does stuff. obsession with security = protecting China from the United States' various proxy forces in the region

the mood in China is dour

What amazing reporting. "China will collapse because, like, the vibes are fucked."

consumers are depressed, deflation lurks and many entrepreneurs are disillusioned

Yes, unlike in the United States of America. All our consumers love the high price of rent and groceries! No disillusioned people in the USA!

Relations with America are steadier, as a phone call between Mr Xi and President Joe Biden this week attested. But they remain fragile.

WWIII will happen tomorrow, no actually it won't, wait actually I don't really know. Either way, this is bad for China. I am very smart.

Abnormal people. :kelllyemote:

The one good debate bro.
