I think Enter was one of the best personalities to grace the website. He was a genuinely funny person.

I remember that was one of the gimmicks you used on an alt account that got me demodded because the mods were too stupid to realize it was you. Fuck the mods on zoklet were a pathetic bunch of victimy circlejerkers. That culture helped kill it. Plus zok was a fucking faggot, the foremost people were zok who hid out on IRC and Panny who hid out on TC.

Yes, author names are burned into quotes, it's always worked that way and will continue to. No one's posts are edited when a user TSTMs so author names appearing in quotes will continue to be there, same way as if someone quoted a post and mentioned the author's name in their reply.

There have been a few before but usually in shitholes like france and georgia or other overtly corrupt places, it's just the western world version which is undoubtedly a sign of the decline. Every aspect of society is slumming to the least common denominator. Even the promiscuity of young women waters down the gene pool and makes the most mindlessly accessible paradigm to be the status quo.
So the concentration of power makes the vast majority weak and ineffectual in every way. In all echelons of power and control it's in their best interests to keep it this way so dividing people into camps, none of which get too much power, is what they seek to do. It's literally COINTELPRO type shit but is happening in every aspect of society, just to further an agenda of the eroding of the identity to ensure power structures remain in place. Idk if I'm being specific enough, I'm high because I have to take drugs to cope with reality and my degeneracy from a young age has been as a result of the breakdown of the safety, stability and freedom of the family unit. It seems to only get worse and I know the bottom is still a ways away

A lot of children raised by baby boomers got that their whole life.
Look at all these 30 something druggies on here who had middle class parents who gave them nice things and a nice home. That's not a coincidence. The boomers completely fucked with our work ethic by telling us we were just amazing all the time (except when they'd sometimes break down at random points and tell us we were all hopeless). I had to teach myself what my parents should have taught me in my 20s.

Most local American governments are in a sorry state, not just financially, but in terms of workforce and future outlook. The American ideal of getting things for as cheap as possible is alive and well. Well, you get what you pay for. As a result of this mentality, many utilities are running on skeleton crews with underpaid staff, even though they can be killed and sometimes are killed working with dangerous machinery.
Most local governments are incredibly dependent on property or sales tax. Especially since so many have pivoted towards tourism in the last few decades. So when the economy is up, revenue is good but the workload is crazy. When things go down, the workload goes down but we have no money and can't hire anyone. There is no way to ever really get ahead.
People take for granted the things that utility and local gov. workers do every day to make basic daily life possible. Repairing water line breaks and downed power lines. Cleaning out sewer lines. Patching streets. Parcel transactions so people can buy and sell property. These things take competent staff who have knowledge and the resources to do the job.
The American Society of Civil Engineer's latest "Report Card" gives America's infrastructure a grade of D+ . Billions of gallons of drinking water are lost every year due to aging water pipes, and a large percentage of the work force is getting close to retirement. Its hard to bring young people into an industry that is dangerous, requires being on-call, and often pays crappy wages. A third of the nation's bridges need to be repaired or totally replaced. You get the idea.
Unfortunately I don't see any of this getting much better. Asking people to pass, for example, a 5 cent gas-tax increase to help repair roads causes an uproar. Americans just don't have the right mentality to have broadly functional local government. At least in Europe people seem to understand the value of having government institutions that can actually work. As west society moves further into collapse, more strain will be placed onto these entities, and they may suffer a kind of internal collapse of their own. Americans have created a way of life where they de-facto subsidize the extravagant, fantasy lifestyles of the super-rich while the necessities of modern life are crumbling.
I foresee a future of more potholes, more water main breaks, intermittent power, broken bridges, and an angry citizenry who doesn't understand why these necessities are not there. Flying the flag and talking about how great their country is won't fix these problems.

Communists didn't want to "turn countries into communist countries" - communists simply saw the plight of the working class abroad and sought to free them from the shackles of capital. The fact that communism would have been the end result of that was more incidental than anything. Communists are like Christian missionaries. They want to save the immortal souls of the people they evangelize to, the fact that this necessitates converting to Christianity is incidental.

Well I just wanted to bump this thread 4 months later for your thoughts, now that we’re at over 180,000 dead and almost 6,000,000 infected.
Is it ok to continue losing lives? Predictions say we’ll be at 300,000 dead by the end of the year.
Do we draw the line somewhere?
Apparently not.
Now people are busy misconstruing CDC statements.
If people actually looked at the overall number of deaths (whether you say they're from COVID or not) the world is experiencing unusually high amounts of deaths. What's to explain for that if not COVID? Republicans have no answer.
President Kiddie Fucker has even been caught on record admitting he was lying about the severity of the virus.
192,000 dead in America now. 910,000 dead worldwide. But sure, I guess it's just a hoax.
