If this appeared in a work of satire, I'd call it too on-the-nose.

They lost the battle for segregation and needed to pivot to something else.

This is an explicit doctrine of Christianity, famously expressed as "Don't immanentize the eschaton."

90% their land as dessert

Man, why does no one ever talk about Caketopia's enduring struggle against European imperialism

lol Vietnam has a war much closer to its own border than 90% of these European countries and you don't see it going into panic mode.

Software engineers are an out-of-shape bunch and definitely need physical education but I'm not sure how that'd help with bad security practices

There were two "Reigns of Terror," if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the "horrors" of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.

"Don't you know a revolution would hurt disabled people?"

Bold of them to say this when Canada's doing MAID, also known as Literally Aktion T4 But Neoliberal.

Yudkowsky, much like the bourgeois news, sounds informed and informative until the subject becomes one you know anything at all about.

 
 

Application service says it accepts Visa cards, but when I enter mine, it doesn't accept it. I called my credit card company and confirmed that the transaction is not getting declined, nor did their system reject it as suspicious; the transaction is never even attempted.

Stuff I've tried:

  • Contacting them through the support form: Waited over a week, no response.
  • Contacting them via the provided email (foreigners@xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn): Delivery failed after 48 hours.
  • Calling the payment processor via the provided hotline at (+84)368736616: Rings a few times, then immediately drops.
  • Calling the immigration department hotline at (+84)02438264026: Error saying the call couldn't be completed.

EDIT: Resolved. A very generous comrade has trusted me enough to let me use their bank card to pay the fee. Thanks to those who responded!

 
 

It's a consistent recurring theme in their propaganda, from the grotesque racial caricatures in Nazi publications like Der Sturmer to the modern day, where they represent their enemies with hideous soyjaks and portray transwomen as not just men, but unwashed, hairy neanderthals.
