I genuinely feel like the DPRK could hasten reunification by trying to show folks in the South just how normal and well-adjusted folks in their society are. Like, hey, we work 8 hours a day and have enough to eat and a home, and we spend a lot of quality time with family and friends.

(Yes I know it’s illegal to access anything related to the DPRK in the south. And even when it’s not illegal, YouTube for example quickly shut down that one DPRK channel where it was just a little girl talking about her day).

It’s worse, they think Bloomberg entered the race to stop her and not Bernie.

And you can’t even blame the Soviets for that one! They had an entire generation wiped out by WW2 that would have been at the age leaders typically rise to that level by the 70s and 80s. The US doesn’t even have an excuse.

While I think the issue of Gaza and Biden supporting genocide goes beyond poll numbers, the reality is that polls show Gaza is way down the list of voter concerns, even for young voters.

Death to America.

Respectfully, comrade, nowhere near half of hexbear was advocating for Biden as the harm reduction candidate. There were some posters here and there who might have said that but the overwhelming majority of the site, like 97%, was saying “fuck these guys I’m not voting for either”.

BetOnline is currently showing Biden at +300 to win, and Newsom at +700. That seems like an awfully small spread when one person is the presumptive democratic nominee and the other is not

Do they actually think we are not voting for Biden only because he’s old?

I’m not an accelerationist but it might like two generations of Mad Max.

We love our younger comrades, don’t we folks?

Honestly, younger people today seem pretty alright. One thing in particular is that is seems bullying in school seems way less tolerated than it was back in the day. I mean, I'm sure lots of bullying still goes on but back in the 90s it was not only pretty brutal and pervasive, but it was generally not seen as something that required intervention and it was "just part of growing up".

One thing I really don't get though - and maybe this is just more a local thing - but it seems like the kids are really into Sublime. I don't get it, I didn't like their music when they were first popular and while they had a hit or two, they weren't anywhere near as popular with my peers than they are today, it seems to me.

Yemen - one of the poorest countries on earth - is able to launch hypersonic missiles while the largest and (allegedly) most sophisticated military to ever exist cannot.

I read your comment and immediately my mind went to Dr. Nick saying “Well, if it isn't my old friend Mr. McGreg, with a leg for an arm and an arm for a leg!” and I started laughing uncontrollably. Which made my day. So, thank you.
