Under American occupation Afghanistan grew way over 80% of the global opium supply.
Really good example of blowback from letting the CIA and Karzai run a drug cartel. The American opioid crisis probably wouldn't exist without the decades of under a $100 kilos of Afghan opium the invasion created.

Yup. Besides kamikaze pilots, samurai swords, and nuked cities most Americans don't know anything about 20th century Japanese history.
Unless you have a WW2 hyper fixation, or are a specific type of weeb, the rising sun is just a neat looking Japanese flag style.

Even for language perscriptivists Nerd is still in the right.
This could be a good bit, because she's not using personal definitions. But afaict you might be using a personal definition, or better yet you might be using her definition of capitalism without understanding it or her. lol

"Labor is entitled to all it creates." Bet she just made that up too.
Nobody has thought or said that about workers, because it's just so selfish! What about the business owners who do all the real hard work; what are they entitled to!?

No they don't. People who are principled egalitarians and use historical material analysis as a heuristic don't always think 'a side with more power always deserves more blame.'

Overpriced understaffed dingy hell hole that locks everything behind plexiglass for anti shoplifting security theater.

iirc that's the "lamanites."
Mormons believed all indigenous people in north america, south america, and the pacific islands too were lamanites. An evil lost Israeli tribe cursed with dark skin so they wouldn't be attractive to nephites (the good lost israeli tribes the lamanites exterminated).

Internalizing those SBFP comments about Pat "over leveling" ruined a lot of fromsoft games for me.
Like when I played ER I'd worry that I: collected too many runes, explored too much or fought bosses in the incorrect order.
Constant anxiety like beating Malenia didn't REALLY count, cuz of X reason
