You want a vision of the future? Imagine a mammoth welfare system tied to a social credit system keeping you just above the poverty line (as long as you don't say anything against the Establishment online, in which case a percentage will be docked), and a surveillance state ruled by corporate tech oligarchs, forever.

"We're taking care of our seniors. You’re not vulnerable. But they like to say 'the vulnerable.' But you’re the least vulnerable. But for this one thing, you are vulnerable. " - Trump, 10/8/2020

"...You can even say that the Soviet Union was our Carthage, & the Cold War was our Punic Wars. But now our Carthage is gone, & we are masters of the known world, & our republic is on its last legs."


It occurs to me that Trump is our Sulla. Taking power with a mandate to reform and wipe out enemies, but misunderstanding the problem, and ultimately changing nothing.

Dear Europe, we're very sorry for our cultural hegemony. We didn't realize it was a problem* until the Czechs started organizing BLM marches. The Czechs, with their famous Danube slave barges.

*we thought it was limited to weird localized dubs of American sitcoms, we thought you were indifferent to our internal politics

Why were Dutch people in 2018 making documentaries about Kekistan and Jordan Peterson? Oh goodness, what have we done?

Khalistan is a would be Sikh homeland carved out of Punjab. I do enjoy that these guys named their album, "Straight outta Khalistan".

I think they'd have better luck establishing a Sikh homeland if they focused on California's central valley. They already have a decent footprint in agriculture and logistics. I imagine the locals would prefer rule by Sikh religious council to rule by Gavin Newsom.

Can we amend the CA partition plan to include Khalistan?

We are adding Yosemite and Orange County (and associated humanitarian corridor) to Khalistan.

"From the Sequoias to the Sea, Khalistan will be free."

Bi's Rapture comment reminded me:

People often talk about Bioshock as being a dystopian attack on the Ayn Rand worldview, but forget that most of the second half of 1 and most of 2 is spent fighting dirty commies. Did anyone actually play these games?

I didn't particularly enjoy them. They seemed overrated to me.

What do you guys think is the actual spread between Red / Blue among Pearl Jam fans?
