Thanks for telling the rest of us how WRONG we are. You think educated people would understand that there are all sorts of opinions out there, none of them are wrong. I for one consider preparation and consuming of food to be a joyless chore. The problem comes when I don't eat right and endanger my health. Put 200 boxes of this stuff in my kitchen and I can eat it along with regular meals and stay healthy.
Look, Japanese animation is crap. Nobody cares except a small vocal minority. Imagine a bunch of Japanese people so gaga over Disney that they learn English just so that they can watch Anastasia or Goofy cartoons and you get the idea. Basing an entire console's library on a Daffy Duck theme is lame. Nintendo is based in Japan but is an international company.
And if I were you, I'd drop the ageism quick. Discrimination is wrong and you need to stop talking like that to other humans. You'd thing techies of all people would be aware of this.
It's sad that you're stuck in a bubble of "I'm in China and everything here is awesome" and getting offended on China's behalf. Isn't that awesome, being a crusader? Speaking of nicknames, "Rick in China"? You really need to trumpet that everywhere you go to remind everyone? How much Chinese do you speak, anyway? Talk about douchebaggery...
The financier of terrorism is Saudi Arabia. Unless you want to define terrorism as "that which opposes me" in which case your definition has as much meaning as "labor which opposes me is communism".
Yeah, can we stop talking about the "japs"? Hello racism?

But when people vote, the possibility exists of the wrong outcome. Communism or neo-communism can't exist under these circumstances. I'm not even joking...go consult your own philosophers. Who said "A Communist Party that does not crush the masses is certainly not a Marxist Communist Party"?
Try telling that to the Chinese. You know, the nation that has endured 150 years of butthurt. And now, it's YOUR turn.
Go ahead and ask your friendly neighborhood Chinese exchange student about whose nation should be humiliated in the next 20 years. You'll probably get an answer you won't like Then ask your friendly local left-wing university student about whose nation should be humiliated in the next 20 years. You'll get the same answer, but you'll like it. What's wrong with this picture?

Neo-communism. What a wonderful idea. THAT couldn't possibly fail! Well the first thing we do is repeal voting, because the system can't possibly work when people do whatever the fuck it is that they want to do. After that...well now that people can't vote we have them where we want. But I'm sure all the promises made before the dictatorship of the proletariat will be honored and people will be able to make art in their copious spare time. Right after we put up the barbed wire fences and minefields to keep our citizens from escaping. It will all work I'm just sure of it!

Go ahead and try to find a university that's not overwhelmingly left-wing. Where is capitalism even taught? The Ivy League? Big state universities? Everywhere but the former communist countries, evidently.
Yeah, they tried that. It didn't work. In fact, it was worse. Much, much worse.
"The only universal medicine (Marxists) have for social evils - State ownership of the means of production - is not only perfectly compatible with all the disasters of the capitalist world: with exploitation, imperialism, pollution, misery, economic waste, national hatred and national oppression, but it adds to them a series of disasters of its own: inefficiency, lack of economic incentives and above all the unrestricted rule of the omnipresent bureaucracy, a concentration of power never before known in human history".

I love how you assume that you're everyone. Tons and tons of people define themselves by their jobs. Go ask any actor or journalist if they'd like to take a prole job for twice the pay. No freaking way. Proles don't get invited to parties.
And a frightening threat that was, too. They murdered 100 million human beings in their pursuit of utopia. It's a good thing that idea was discredited forever, what with 18 times the pile of dead humans as Hitler created of dead Jews...oh wait...

Let me guess: the way out is an outdated system from the 19th century that was discredited again and again in the 20th, and yet is inexplicably popular among university professors of the 21st.
Funny, when the big hurricane hit New York City, it was evidence right in your face of climate change. When that heat wave hit Europe, it was global warming right there...what sort of idiot can ignore the evidence when you can just walk outside and feel it? Have you actually been paying attention to the narrative?
Funny, when right-wingers say government is too powerful and let's reduce its over reach of power, people just like you are first to jump up and find reasons that's wrong. It is entirely relevant to point out the political bias of this group, and it is wrong that the summary neglected to point out this important fact.
It's because inner cities have spectacularly bad schools. Not many kids graduate, and many who do can't even read. You want your kid next to those kids?
Fun fact: in Houston in the 70s, an ammonia tanker crashed on a highway interchange and spilled its load. It killed everything in radius, of course, including all vegetation and a bunch of humans. Thereafter the area (in a highly visible area passed by millions of people daily) bloomed as one and all commented on how lush and green the grasses were there.
Not fascinating, obvious. Speer was an elite who was captured by other elites. This guy is a nobody, and he's receiving the correct treatment for attempting to pretend he was a fellow elite. Also congratulations for working Godwin's Law in there.

Perhaps a bank in Mexico would suit them better. What is Mexican banks' attitude towards illegal aliens opening accounts?

Like I said, we'll just disregard the pile of 100 million dead bodies. We couldn't possibly learn any lessons from that. To the barricades, comrades!
