Pepes are like a stetson hat and big belt buckle: not explicitly a symbol of shitty politics, but most popular with people who have them.

Poor people living there… Being fed lies from their media, and basically being rejected the access to true freedom, like in the “western world”

How do we know that’s true?

What’s authoritarianism? I’ve never heard the word in any work of theory

I like to imagine that when the Black Eyed Peas came up with the lyric “let’s get it started” as a replacement, it was like the end of a moon landing movie. The airlock door to the writing room unseals with a hiss, the band members walking out in slow motion to a cheering crowd. Moustached men in mission control high fiving, hugging each other and chainsmoking. Clusters of big vintage news cameras flash. The solemn yet hopeful horn music swells. They did it.

It was very illuminating when I got more into crafting hobbies and discovered that I’m actually not incapable of working hard, which I thought was my problem all through school. Turns out I can work quite hard, I’m actually just incapable of pretending to give a shit about being someone’s peon.

And they do cannibalism too, and tax evasion!

Whatever it takes, please just let us force everyone to pay $80.00 to play the latest live service beta test

Seriously if that shit happened in the US, the national guard would call in an A-10 gun run on the crowd

The only mature and adult course of action is to sigh and resign yourself to getting fucked at every turn, as wise and responsible adults throughout history have done. Any action beyond innefectual snark is a childish tantrum. This axiom somehow does not apply to the actions of the already powerful and those doing the fucking on their behalf. That is simply the natural way of things. Do not ask how they became powerful in the first place.
