Death to fascism. End the state, promote happiness, break all cages. Love yer brain -wear a mask!

  • Defying Stereotypes

  • Anon is not honest with himself. Love yourself, suck a dick. Ain't nothing wrong with that.

  • Well deary, I wouldn't want to get in any trouble

  • That's not true, you just don't recognize it when they're European, because you're a racist. Cope about it. Bye.

  • This can't possibly go wrong

  • You're the one who is denying reality. I will be keeping my community alive through mutual aid and I hope your selfish ass perishes lmao

  • Well deary, I wouldn't want to get in any trouble

  • Please learn to read if you think I agreed. Please cope and seethe about the fact that I correctly identified this post as casually racist, ethnocentric Reddit bullshit.

  • Well deary, I wouldn't want to get in any trouble

  • I'm well aware of the economic factors at play driving scammers from India and Nigeria to do their thing. I am trying to bring attention to the white European scam phone banks that don't have the same reputation, your Bulgarian and Romanian and Latvian scammers, Russian, etc. There are also scam call centers in the good ol USA. It's definitely not just restricted to the two developing nations with a large number of English speakers and few opportunities that are blamed for it.

  • I dont think it is unfair

  • There was forced labor in Egypt but it was mostly agricultural. It was like corvee labor to build irrigation canals and dams and stuff, and it was how people paid their taxes basically

    Edit: and just like in places with forced corvee labor today like Uzbekistan, you could pay your way out of it if you were wealthy enough https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/in-ancient-egypt-people-paid-to-become-temple-servants-674595/

    Edit 2: Supposedly the state corvee in Uzbekistan ended March 2022 but I feel like people probably are still picking cotton a lot, they're probably just getting paid now.

  • I dont think it is unfair

  • Ancient Egyptians didn't have capitalism. At least in the dynasty where a lot of writing is from like this one scroll that was used to teach scribes writing so there is a fuckload of copies of it, they had a theocratic class system where social roles were pretty rigid. It was highly discouraged to not love your place in life. Like that writing exercise that archaeologists found is like basically copypasta about how cool it is to be a scribe, how you get to sit in the shade and not destroy your body to earn a living like the laborers must do. The cultures extant in ancient Egypt's like 3000 years of history have been studied pretty extensively and pretty much every conclusion leads to the idea that social mobility through hard work or whatever of the kind promised by the capitalist Horatio Alger story was definitely not a cultural value in ancient Egypt, at least not a cultural value held by the people with the power to decide what got written down for posterity.

  • A thousand miles

  • I walked 500 miles once. Took like a month. It's called the Camino de Santiago

  • Well deary, I wouldn't want to get in any trouble

  • Nah, Indian people are not to blame. This post is just racist, white people do the same kind of scams just as often but the OP only notices the ones where the call center agent sounds like an accent they associate with Indian people.

  • Well deary, I wouldn't want to get in any trouble

  • Why would it matter if the voice is "Indian?"

  • This can't possibly go wrong

  • I both live there and am planning to survive, and keep as many people alive with me as I can, have fun with whatever you're doing buddy

  • This can't possibly go wrong

  • Do you live here? Probably okay means survivable, literally over a billion people will die if they can't move from the unsurvivable parts

  • This can't possibly go wrong

  • Pacific Northwest is probably okay that's why we are trying to build dual power to replace the government when it collapses and fight the Nazis who want to do the same

  • This can't possibly go wrong

  • This would be the best reason to contact, not to convert them as Christian goons are trying to do

  • The old one also sounds like a running lawnmower, but still.

  • Makes sense. Very different tolerances and tooling required

  • This can't possibly go wrong

  • The sentinelese see right through that bullshit. Leave them alone.

  • The old one also sounds like a running lawnmower, but still.

  • We need to figure out how to retrofit those old machines to be as efficient as the new ones, and be clean and pigeon free. Then we can keep them around.

  • Now that's some devotion!

  • The USA is a deeply racist settler colony founded on doing violence to those without the privilege to escape it. The idea that someone "undeserving" might get a benefit from one's tax payment enrages the Republican voting base which is mostly white men who make over $50k a year.

  • It's real. Twitter Shadowbanning is back.

  • Someone predicted that they were going to slowly add back all the stuff they took out and they were right
