Newbs might say that this is exporting degeneracy but let's all take a moment to recollect that Korea was the Thailand of the sixties and seventies, particularly for Japanese businessmen...
And Koreans will admit this. Of course, they will not BROADCAST this, and all the more power to them for having some sense of shame..!
But, ultimately, all of the panicky conservatives can cooldown just a little and recognize that no society is that far from degeneration.
Degeneration comes quite unforced right along with the prosperity since people who are not actively loving God will use their wealth to satisfy their egos.
>Quebec is on track to finish the year with seven per cent of all deaths recorded as doctor-assisted, Bureau said. "That's more than anywhere else in the world: 4.5 times more than Switzerland, three times more than Belgium, more than the Netherlands. It's two times more than Ontario."
Fascinating article - the tidbit where we have spent over two billion on rebuilding #Afghanistan since we cut and run was particularly fascinating.
And this stuff is truly alarming:
>Here’s a headline from the Boston Herald: Massachusetts spending $45M a month on programs for migrants, displaced families, Healey says, by Chris Van Buskirk, August 8, 2023.
And:
>New York City Mayor Eric Adams told us on Wednesday that the cost of housing and caring for illegal aliens in the city will be twelve billion dollars over the next three years.
It's amazing to think of how much money is just poured into programs like this - programs that ultimately have resulted purely from our broken immigration system.
>If Javier Milei, the front-runner in the campaign for the presidency, wins the election scheduled for later this year, the country's own currency could be abolished and replaced with the US dollar.
Honestly interesting to see them take this novel approach - not different from El Salvador adopting Bitcoin as their currency to try to breath life into their economy.
>Polls show that 60% of #Argentines oppose the idea because it would give too much power to the US central bank, the Federal Reserve.
>But like it or not, the dollar already plays such a big part in their economy that to some, the idea feels like a foregone conclusion.
>Argentines have traditionally set little store by their own currency, preferring to convert their spare pesos into dollars as soon as they can.
>They don't trust financial institutions much either, so they resort to what is locally known as the "colchón bank" - that is, stuffing their dollars under the mattress.
>Anecdotal stories abound of people keeping money buried in the garden, hidden in the walls or even secreted in heating systems - occasionally with disastrous consequences if there is an unexpected cold snap and the cash isn't retrieved before it goes up in smoke.
LOL.
Institutions out there giving me a tishbitta hope.
>A federal appeals court ruled 3-0 Tuesday that the Washington D.C. “selectively” used a defacement statute to arrest pro-life activists for chalking a message on the sidewalk while permitting Black Lives Matter (BLM) protestors to mark property without consequences.
... Buying out a farmer at a fair price in a first world society is the definition of "legit" though?

Oligarchs support oligarch candidates and will employ every dirty trick through the Fed and media.
Skrillex face in cartoon form makes the meme.

Terrific illustration of why major internet sites that are openly edited and created are ultimately going to be the victims of organized campaigns like this...
Another great and perhaps better example of this is the case of #Israel and how it dominates Wikipedia as much as it can while also paying people to drive discussion on Twitter and on other social media sites through their program Hasbara.

Kendrick Perkins is right... It's why the Latinos show up in force to support Latino boxers, why Mariotta was a big deal for Hawaiians just like BJ Penn...
Kendrick just doesn't know about double standards.
>With some 90% of ballots counted, far-right libertarian economist Javier Milei had 30.5% of the vote, far higher than predicted, with the main conservative opposition bloc behind on 28% and the ruling Peronist coalition in third place on 27%
That's what I like to see.
Europe is a democratic place that gets to...
uhh....
Ban opposition parties.
Honestly had no idea the Scouts had gone this woke - at events attended by elementary school kids and originally designed around united Judeo-Christian American identity, we got these guys marching around the jamboree in S. Korea:
>The British Scout added that many Scout units and other participants in Korea for the Jamboree had been displaying and wearing Pride flags happily.

>“In regard to homosexuality, I must say that I believe this is an attempt to remove oneself from the present, a refusal perhaps to perpetuate the endless farce of earthly life. You see, I make love to men daily, but in the imagination,” Obama, then 21, wrote to Alex McNear in November 1982.
This is pretty pretentious writing with a pretty absurd admission...
I wonder how he'll respond to this coming out.

The reverse is true of conservatives...
A fact that has only started becoming an issue in the era of "woke capital," some would say...
But I do believe in climate change and the outsourcing of American industry as catastrophes.

Lol Justin is an epic meme maker. Just by existing he churns them out.
The #Soros transition is going to go smoothly - from first to second generation.
This may be more important than many American presidential transitions in terms of real political impact.

This is also really amusing in the context of "January sixth was an insurrection," "the most harrowing day since 9/11!"
Etc.
