Not everything can be washed though. Pre-processed foods for example. I try to get mine as ‘natural’ as possible I.e. still whole, but it’s not always feasible because someone else might provide pre-cut fruit/veggies

Not dismissing our indifference over the support of Ukraine after no support has ever been given to us as “whataboutism” or telling me that it’s not the right time to worry about xyz. That’s not to say anyone here is guilty of such, but I believe the majority of white American liberals outside of here consider themselves “leftist” and ask the same question.

I think it’s incredible that what made me stop having a baseline level of respect and trust for white people is seeing them dehumanize another group of white people in real time and advocate for nuclear war. Partly because the same language and tactics have been used against us in the past. It’s like these people buried it deep down their brain and now have an excuse to pull back the tropes without the fear of being called racist.

And I 100% get that’s it’s not on marginalized folks to explain it to us.

I never understood this sentiment. Yes it’s annoying to repeat myself, especially if it’s in response to some bad faith asshole. But if it’s some white guy who’s genuinely curious about what I believe then I have no problem explaining it

Normal people: “ thank you comrade daughter for wanting me to be part of your life and share your happiness with me.”

White conservatives: “ did you know my daughter has a crush on me? She kept telling me to brush her hair…”

It’s a credit system for businesses. It’s for consumers but I think mainly for other businesses to assesses the trustworthiness of individuals who own a business. So if you own some clothing shop known for reselling used clothing as new, you’ll be dinged and be punished. But I believe that only local governments have implemented it, so it’s like a few places have it but westerners extrapolated to Xi watching your every move

Literally 99% of Chinese “propaganda” in movies is just the movie has an important plot progression that takes place in China for like 15 minutes and no one is spewing hatred for Chinese people. Maybe someone speaks mandarin for a few seconds. Then it transitions back to the west. Americans lost their mind over it because god forbid your globetrotting brain rot take place in the largest country for a few scenes.

US military in the South China Sea gets attacked by aqueous deceptions

Chengdu J-20s are dispatched to save the Americans

Americans start firing on the J-20s assuming they’re deceptions

I'll take a Double Triple Cartel Beheading, on a raft, four-by-four Jim Crow-style, extra slurs with an E and an R, light mass shooting, write a manifesto, publish it, and let it air live

actually Stalin and Hitler were best buddies who wouldn’t think of hurting each other until the soviets backstabbed Germany

Chuds: “I don’t want my children learn about sex and sexual orientation at school at such a young age! That’s GROOMING!!!”

Also chuds: “Wow look at our toddlers dating each other! How romantic!”

When I originally read that it was about some guys wanting to “change the system” from the inside, I thought it was a bit out of character for Boots Riley. Glad he was just fucking around

Also is that Elijah wood

YOU ARE A BAD PERSON FOR LAUGHING AT A BILLIONAIRE’S DEATHH!!!
