I've made an edit

I think someone's original comment was actually making a joke about the gold the Swiss laundered for the Nazis - they were saying that Switzerland is bad

I haven't fully finished it yet but I'm also losing it over this. I knew the Sino-Soviet split was a disaster but I didn't know how deeply China worked with the US as a result. I guess I understand now why they were able to convince the US to tie their economies so deeply together

Is this actually from 1993 or is it one of those forums that measures all dates as September of that year - the eternal September

If memory serves it's actually at least partially driven by humans wanting to eat it

Genuinely might be my favorite scene in the movie. One conversation and it lays out everything so perfectly and precisely while never leaving the metaphor of the Matrix. Especially the comment about these people being the very people they are trying to save - but until they are, they can't see through the system. It's how I feel every time someone tells me I'm being hyperbolic about capitalism or idealistic about socialism.

I yearn for the days of ordering from a local Chinese place that was definitely a front, you could get a bag of wantons literally the size of your head for $5

I believe that's only in the animated version, in the comic he just fails to save him. The comic gets weird as hell tho, beyond just the typical complete misunderstanding of communism, capitalism, really anything about material reality or human nature.

Don't worry it's not the silly letter quote - I know that would be devastating to lose

We have both - seeing this one (or maybe a variation on it) this morning was what prompted me to actually go find the source, I was curious. Is there anywhere to see a list of taglines?

 

Apologies if everyone knew this and it was a sitewide bit but I did not and now I feel kinda gross for having used it

EDIT: Converted to an archive link out of concerns about direct linking to reactionary site, mea culpa

To clarify: this is NOT the silly letter quote, that was very real
