Companies already issue digital boarding passes. I have a government issued digital ID in a phone app. These are convenient.

But facial recognition? Hell no, f that.

Isnt that like all phone makers recently?

she took a hammer to the car’s bonnet as Britney Spears’s Hit Me Baby One More Time blared from a speaker.

Ahaha I can just picture that.

As China boosts its internal consumption and increases standards of living, along with a growing highly educated population, I can see their values very much aligning with the EU. That sounds like a very decent world order…

The supply of leading world economies who are friendly and democratic is now * does some quick math * zero.

Isn’t this why Americans are sent to prison? So they can provide free labour?

As disgusting as it is, that seems to be exactly what most of the world seems to be doing, trying to get into trump’s good grace and not get fucked by the tariffs.

Well except for China, who seems to have slapped back just as hard.

you people

You reminded me of something I’ve once read. I hope you’ll come to terms with your anger some day.

It was much better to imagine men in some smokey room somewhere, made mad and cynical by privilege and power, plotting over brandy. You had to cling to this sort of image, because if you didn’t then you might have to face the fact that bad things happened because ordinary people, the kind who brushed the dog and told the children bed time stories, were capable of then going out and doing horrible things to other ordinary people. It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone’s fault. If it was Us, then what did that make Me? After all, I’m one of Us. I must be. I’ve certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We’re always one of Us. It’s Them that do the bad things.

Do you realize how you’re quite literally advocating for genocide, and you see absolutely nothing wrong with that?

How are you any different from Europeans? Because you’ve been victim of oppression doesn’t make you any less likely to oppress others when given the chance, as you’re clearly demonstrating.

If we’re going for historical reenactment, they would be waiting for their chance to do a surprise invasion and nab a couple of provinces…

I mean, shall we look at all countries’ track record of starting direct or proxy wars in the last 70 years or so to determine who’s more likely to attack?

Well well well. Won’t you look at who would have done exactly the same thing as the european empires did, if they had the chance?

You’re not mad that it happened at all, you’re mad that it happened to you. Hypocrite.

I’m not arguing that these funds shouldn’t go to Ukraine. I’m arguing that no single individual should ever be allowed to have so much money that they are able to do this. They all need to be cut down to size ASAP.

Well I mean, you’ll be hard pressed to find any empire in history who didn’t dab in a little bit of genocide here and there, it’s not like european countries have a monopoly here.

Name me a civilization that didn’t commit genocide, and you’ll have found a civilization that didn’t have the chance to do it…

Just to be clear, you think that being wooed with enticing promises, and being sucker punched in the teeth and told to bow down, are the same thing?

And if the EU needed any further incentive to keep rushing for renewable energy, here it is.

It has always been up to the people to establish governmental structure. History provides the examples, mon frére.

Ideas transcend people.

Written language transcends you.

I see dependencyInjection clearly would have better used his time elsewhere, so let’s learn from his endeavours and tag you appropriately, so we can avoid future waste.

We don’t have a greedy capitalist funding an unjust war for profit as you’re trying to suggest.

Yet.
