It's getting more attention because there was an incident like this two weeks ago in Shibuya where a woman knocked over a Taiwanese kid in a crosswalk. People looking up the phenomenon, finding this example, and it, just like the incident two weeks ago, also had anti-foreigner vibes in addition to being shitty.

There is an Isekai where the protagonist is obsessed with mecha and he wakes up in a world where mecha suits are the dominant magic tool. He outright kills his rival at one point... but only because the dude was designing airships instead of mechas, and the protagonist knows how precarious the mecha domination is (cause humanoid robots are such a massive pain to work with/ use rather than specialized machines)

Nah, just bad with words. I didn't mean across the peninsula, but at the origin of it.

No? The Persian Gulf is a part of the Indian Ocean. The dead sea is landlocked and on the other side of the Arabian Peninsula.

Cool. Doesn't change the fact that it's not valid ID for the purposed "prove you're a citizen" bill, so it's mostly irrelevant to this discussion. It doesn't even prove citizenship.

Platonic solids exclude the Rhombic Dodecahedron, so who needs them?

SSN isn't proof of anything except eligibility for Social Security benefits. Yes, the system is abused to cover for the lack of a national ID, but it isn't an ID.

Lol, no. That's just a leftist thing, my man. Capitalism requires new markets to expand into, imperialism supplies that.

Imperialism isn't just owning colonies, it's also suppression of competition in markets already established by the empire. That's what the invading everyone with oil that we can in 2026 is all about. It's not just about market expansion (though that certainly can, does, and likely will happen). It's about market domination.

And yes, imperialism is bad when it's done by anyone, not just the west.

I don't think anyone's thinking about NATO in this conversation.

A fan of Milo and Otis, I see

Oof, ouch, my bones!

Corporatism that Mussolini was speaking of (though this direct quote can't be attributed to him) is a return to the guild system, not corporations as we would think of them.

Shit still goes hard, though. Just needed to satisfy the itch to get to the bottom of the quote.
