reminds me of the experiments done on the demon core. Their careless experiments were called 'tickling a sleeping dragon's tail'
idk man ... alls im saying is .... I'm glad I live in America and I feel pretty confident that I will be able to live a life where I am probably going to die of old age and not have to worry about the dangers that third world countires have to go through
What's the purpose of the upcoming march?
disease or old age are what most americans have to worry about dying to
@possumsquat93 I think Patriot Prayer's reasoning is "use it or lose it" in regards to free speech.
Is it a test for Antifa?
Do you think they'd stop marching if Antifa stopped showing up?
Probably. It'd be pretty boring for everyone.
In a reasonable world there would be no question that you're allowed to peaceably assemble and voice your opinions.
So showing up in a group and saying "we like America and freedom" would be pretty mundane and boring.
Who'd bother to show up for that?
@Atkins never underestimate people with no jobs and a gender studies degree
Yeah, I'm talking about the mythical world in which such people wouldn't protest.
@Atkins bruh that world exists .... almost any middle eastern country .... or chyna
In such a world affirming one's right to freedom of speech would be so banal that it wouldn't merit participation.
egypt or turkey or venezuela ....
oh wait ...
Those places can deal with their own shit themselves.
you sed world
ffs man
@Atkins agree
Those smarties need to help thier own country
and thier own country need to praise those people
It's been really heartening to see all the protests going on in Iran against mandatory hijab and things like public dancing. Those are some brave people.
If Iran's demographics are anything like Saudi Arabia's the mullahs are on borrowed time.
Their power base is going to die of old age soon.
But there's also a massive economic component. Iran's economy is awful and the government is spending what little money they have on foreign military expenditures that do nothing to help anyone anywhere.
How is sending drones and missiles and shit to Syria helping someone in Iran find a job and put food on the table? Their unemployment is double digits.
rofl i like the hick in the audience nodding. "i totally get it now that gumballs are involved"
I wonder how widespread the protests in Iran would be if they didn't get the $100B in frozen assets back.
While I like the gumball demonstration for the visual clarity it gives a discussion of numbers and rates of change, there's an issue there that's not being discussed. All those people in developing nations, if they were to achieve the kind of prosperity we have, would also be using resources at the rate we are and polluting at the rate we are. Most likely they would do so even faster during the transition period.
@Timcast hey tim I just want to say that you have a nice fireplace and I was hella mirin it in your latest video. Can you livestream making smores?
Elevating people out of poverty is a noble goal, but nobody thinks of the environmental impact.
I agree. As an engineering student I wouldn't leave my country, only exception would be a love interest otherwise I would stay here and do my part to improve what I can
Environmental impact will be there whether they're producing for export or producing for themselevs.
Might as well be for themselves
