He use to sell coffee made by the Zapatistas and would talk them up in his sales pitch, although he tried to make them seem like American-style libertarians who were rebelling against the Mexican government
This stuff always reminds me of China's nuclear program in the 60s. Like once the Sino-Soviet Split happened the US literally just assumed that Chinese people were too stupid to produce an atomic bomb. Even after China's first nuclear test in '64 the US would not recognize them as a nuclear power, and kept insisting they would be unable to develop nuclear armed ballistic missiles or thermonuclear weapons, both of which were then tested in the next two years and both times it was deeply shocking to the US foreign policy blob.
Also, the US went on to learning nothing from this becuase the exact same thing happened with North Korea which went from their first nuclear test to thermonuclear weapons in 10 years. Like in the early stages North Korea was very willing to surrender their nuclear weapons program for lifting of sanctions, but the US would never negotiate in good faith becuase they genuinely believed the North Koreans were to primitive to proceed to the next stage of development.
Stancil as great, I hope he never gives this up. Like its been explained to him dozens of times every day for three years now that peoples experience of the economy really can't be captured in macroeconomic data and ultimately it's people's lived experience that will drive voting in 2024. And yet every day he logs on with a new GDP chart and screams at people that their should change their opinion on the economy becuase of the chart.
Also the only people that follow him and engage with him are leftists who are there to make fun of him.
Lol, do these people even live in San Fran? Like Chinese-Americans are the single largest demographic in the city, I think like 25%. And most of them aren't insane gusanos who hate China.
Can't remember who said it, but someone observed that the libs were doing a proto-Qanon in Obama's second term. Like they were baking every shitty compromise he did as some kind of 4d chess move, and that one day very soon he would reveal his master plan and destroy the GOP. And just like Qanon, when Obama didn't acutally do the Storm and arrest all the GOP obstructionists and do the New Deal again, they just shifted their conspiracy onto Hillary and eventually Russia-gate.
We need to revturn to the pre-Republic Roman system of ten 28 day months and a liminal, unaccountable 90ish day period during the winter where dates don't exist. We need to have a high priest pulling apart bird guts to tell us when in March we can start counting days again. We need a system so subjective and variable that you occasionally need a 500 day year to reset everything either becuase of compounding error or because the priest in charge got murdered and no one replaced him for two months.
I still don't understand what the NASA thing has to do with anything. Is it like everyone makes mistakes? Or like the men criticizing me don't understand that women go Hitler-mode when they smoke that loud?
Like just overall how do you think this makes you look better.
Lol, atleast charge a nominal fee, it's way more suspicious for a pizza place to just give away pizza. Like ask for 10 bucks and get a pack of smokes for you and Jimmy No Ears.
Lol their dad and my dad should hang out. My dad loves both Mao and Bill Clinton, in equal measure. He is literally a CPC party member (I assume expired but he still has his membership card) and is China's biggest defender in the US, but he is also really proud of being an American. Like his dream is to have the two countries mutually agree to combine into one country.
As you can imagine the recent ratcheting up of tensions has really dampened his mood.
Also, one of his funnier crank opinions is that Portugal should have kept Macao becuase they bought it fair and square in the 16th century, but China should have invaded Hong Kong to show the British who's boss.
White people fundamentally do not understand how spice works, like I have eaten hot wings where the only flavor is spicy, a chemical spicy flavor completely disconnected from nature whose sole purpose is to cause pain.
Like in cuisines that have used spices for thousands of years, it's understood that spiciness is meant to complement the other flavors used in the dish. Like there are hot-as-fuck Sichuan dishes that are nevertheless easy to eat becuase making it really hot isn't the only consideration in the recipe.
Like for the sake of white people we can't let them have anymore exotic flavors. Think of what they will do to themselves if Sichuan peppercorns ever get really popular. They will create a tasteless chip with so much numbing power it will cause permenent jaw paralysis.
I mean I always just make myself in the character creator for any RPG, the most adventurous I get is going half-elf, never full elf.
I'm going to become the Alex Jones of Blue Maga.
It was a false flag folks. The "shooter" was a Groyper connected agent. The Secret Service ignored all warnings and proper protocol, confirmed by my FBI source (a guy that worked in the Hoover Building cafeteria). Trump wasn't even hit, they smeared cranberry sauce on his ear.
I'm going to make so much money riling up the Biden diehards. But importantly I will not make any of the mistakes Alex did.
