      Because every single thing must revolve around America, only one thing can be bad at a time, and if I’m not with you I must be against you.

        , only one thing can be bad at a time,

        Oh, were we talking about something being bad? I thought we were just having a non-politically tinted discussion about science and technology

        Neutrality is support of the status quo, there are no parties that neither support nor oppose it.

        I mean, it’s the most powerful empire ever to exist, one built on ongoing slavery and genocide. It’s difficult to find global problems that don’t lead back to the amerikkkan ruling class.

            I forgot, it’s only mature intelligent high-IQ adults who lick the boot of slavery and genocide.

              I mean, from here I see only one person feeling obliged to bring up:

              • America

              • Imperialism

              • Slavery

              • Genocide

              • IQ

              • boot licking

              in a thread that has absolutely nothing to do with this, and this person isn’t me. So do yourself a favour and go babble with people who care.

                Nothing is connected. We are all individual monads floating in a void, our interactions mediated entirely by the market.
