People only know about it because of South Park.

If you were to list the top ten cults in the United States by harm done, Scientology wouldn’t make the top ten. It would mostly be Protestant churches who will do another Waco if forced which honestly isn’t something anyone should want.

Scientology is bad, but they have one thing going for it that most cults don’t. Sexual abuse is not common, like obviously it happens but probably to a lesser extent than the Church. Scientology is much more focused on exploiting the labor of its practitioners and covering up the occasional death caused by lack of medical care than getting horny. Like legitimately the reason why Scientology still exists is that it is not a sex cult.

Him and the South African guy were politely but firmly told to leave China after the government and internet users got mad at them for essentially abusing their privilege too much. They rode bikes where they weren’t supposed too, they flew drones everywhere they went, the constantly used vpns to access banned websites, they complained about the travel restrictions put on foreigners, they owned and operated a bike shop when foreigners aren’t supposed to own stuff, they filmed things they weren’t allowed to film. But the biggest transgression of all, is them working without visas. They did a lot of white monkey work that wasn’t at all regulated. They were the beneficiaries of the dengist reforms which flirted dangerously close with liberalism which is why so much of it was reverted when Xi took office.

Like the time they were in China was some of the most economically prosperous but also economically unequal periods in Chinas history, they left right when the whole global economy took a shit before the pandemic. I think they are jaded about being kicked out. Like the American married a woman who wants to raise their kids in the US meanwhile the South African is still a bachelor but couldn’t go back to South Africa, I think and like they both kind of settled down in the US and can’t really do travel blogs anymore and now just grift for money from their dwindling fanbase. Their biggest problem is like they spent so much time learning Chinese culture, they did nothing to learn about communism. That’s their biggest problem, they tried being neutral about it but you cannot be neutral when it comes to communism, you either support it or you don’t and if you support it you got to support all the time and they weren’t willing to do that.

I think the only silver lining to them is that, despite basically becoming anti-China mouthpieces, they know enough about China to vocally denounce the crazy cults like Falun Gong, like they hate the China uncensored youtubers with a passion, and for those that don’t know, China uncensored is a Taiwanese Falun Gong ran Youtube channel. These guys (Laowhy) does know a lot about China and it’s a fucking shame that they are so critical of it.

Twitch streamers are bourgeoisie

Addiction makes people lose basic reasoning skills.

Gambling must be abolished in all forms.

xqc is not a barely verbal pathetic weirdo, he’s a barely verbal pathetic weirdo who steals peoples content that looks like a fucking goblin with a gambling addiction financed by his child fanbase which he advertises gambling too.

70 million people would still be alive.

We saw a bunch of ukranian refugees show up to the eu a year ago and they received social assistance far greater than any the Syrian refugee received. Why is that?

The only flaw with your argument is that the Jews would have nothing if they left Israel. They would be welcomed with open arms into countries that actually want them (even though they shouldn’t be allowed to simply leave, they should be punished and face the wraith of the indigenous people they tried genocide but that’s a moralistic argument and unlikely to happen). They would keep most of their wealth and have no problem reintegrating into the imperial core, we saw this with the South Africans, South Vietnamese, the Cuban losers, hell it probably goes back farther than the confederates who fled to Brazil to continue slavery. The colonizers will always have safe harbor in the imperial core and its other peripheral territories. They aren’t going to be left in poverty if the colonial project fails.

Is colonialism a symptom of whiteness or is whiteness a symptom of colonialism? I don’t know which one came first but one of them of them is the symptom and the other is the cause. We need to find and treat the cause.
