Attributing socialist truisms to Trotsky is a solid troll

While "the CIA is behind this" is usually a good baseline reaction, I do think it's worth waiting until more evidence comes in

It's plausible that it could be a color revolution is the most one can say about it. Being belittling to Ben for recognizing the pattern is just smug self-assurance.

My theory: coinlords that had to move their mining operations out of China are building a new Cryptostate in Kazakhstan

Think about it: why would the CIA start a massive disinfo campaign about a "Uighur genocide" if not to draw the world's attention away from the lines of trucks filled with GPUs and other mining equipment, moving from the border in Xinjiang to Kazakhstan? Check and mate liberals.

i am not familiar with drugs in japan, just japanese sex perverts

This article I found is pretty good at covering how drugs are treated in Japanese society. If you're caught with cannabis, your life is over, you'll be banned from performing in sports or in any sort of media for the rest of your life, publicly shamed, and sentenced to prison for 5 years. This social attitude was basically forced on Japan post-WW2 by the US; prior to that, cannabis was relatively widely used and woven in to the culture. I can't find anything about people being stripped of their citizenship though.

I dunno I think if I put a million dollars into a vanguard account and kept working I’d never really burn through it besides immediately paying off my mortgage and buying a car in cash

divide $850,000 by 50 and that’s decent fun money?

yea pretty much the cycle always takes a long time to run through and by the end of it we've moved on to a different issue so when it comes out that we did indeed fund a fake 'revolution' in a rando country it's treated as old news and boring

thats usually because these things come from genuine grievances against lovely governments a lot of the time. inequality, corruption and decaying standards of living pisses people off, they take to the streets or protest, when it builds any momentum its usually initially leaderless and chaotic initially with a bunch of different people with different demands and desires.

then things get taken over by the best organized and funded groups, which later turn around and Very Strangely decide the best way out is privatization, joining the washington consensus, and having an army and a bunch of paramilitaries infested with hard right reactionaries.

sorry - to be clear I mean pay off my existing mortgage, which is around $170k, on a 3 bedroom 2 bath house

a car mostly in cash … $30k towards a top trim Honda hybrid something plus the trade in value of my current Honda CR V would have me set until all cars are electric. my 2017 Honda cr v is paid off, it cost $40k back then.

so, really, I guess I’d blow through around $200k and then invest the rest to use towards house renovations and camera gear at some point

I live in Elgin, Texas which is just outside of Austin, Texas

the point stands though that rich people aren’t imaginative enough with their mountains of money
