There's no wand you can wave to make the average American give a shit about the Global South, NASA/science spending is just a more beneficial off-ramp for those resources than blowing it on the fighter jets and nuclear subs that we'll never use.
I'm not really concerned with the myopia, hubris, and lack of empathy and awareness of the average American because I'm making a personal ethical argument.
Nep doesn't seem to be making much of an argument at all. So all scientific efforts are a waste because think of the global south? That's just not based in reality. Also yet again she doesn't give a shit about the usaid cuts

Sure Books might be attractive to women but men shouldn't have to be forced to accept lame and nerdy hobbies just to try to please women. People should do what makes them happy and nobody is happy being a nerd.
Cigarettes also make everyone instantly cooler but you thankfully don't see most of society lining up to buy a pack to smoke. Being so much cooler as fuck instantly isn't worth cancer, just like being in a relationship with a woman isn't worth losing your self respect and being considered a nerd.
Keep not reading Kings. Don't be a fucking nerd. Guy posting on an internet video game forum thinks reading is nerdy?

Unless it was a drive by post, but nobody on era would ever selectively farm clout to clown on one company rather than boycott all of them for what they consider to be something they care about.

Of course I don't know if the police let things escalate more than necessary. It's certainly possible. I've experienced violence by german police against football fans first hand, but also effective deescalation tactics.
Also this protest was officially green lit by the Berlin authorities. So it's not exactly fair to claim that Germany does everything in its power to silence any form of protest against the israeli conduct in Gaza.

And I'm saying this as someone who lost their grandmother to dementia, and recognises erratic wanderlust and the incoherent explanation for deciding why to act on it as among those symptoms.
It's not the same thing as hyperanalysing Biden's speech patterns and behaviour because of conspiracies spread by the alt-right.

A trans or minority person getting violently rolled by a teenage gang and it being cheered on by the exact same kind of cunt that you are, but in a different coloured team uniform, would be the appropriate use of that image.
