Pop quiz: Can you name one reason why China might be hostile to foreigners smuggling drugs into their country?
EDIT: what I gather from all the triggered tankies replying to me is that the answer is "probably"
Alternatively, shut up and walk through this door:
Rest in peace perfect heaven baby.
For what it's worth, they and other livestock love mycelium from culinary species like Pleurotus ostreatus. The substrate is healthy myceliated straw/grain with the complex carbs predigested by the fungi and it has immune system benefits for them: https://openagriculturejournal.com/contents/volumes/V17/e187433152305260/e187433152305260.pdf
My ideal homestead revolves around multi-tiered green recycling using them. The fungi break down the garden waste that the chickens won't eat, the unproductive mushroom colonies go to the chickens and pigeon towers, the manure and eggshells go into the vermicomposter and garden. Those mushroom colonies are a major cash crop with a myriad of health benefits depending on what you're growing.
I can't tell if this manmade horror beyond my comprehension is more of a Warhammer 40k space marine or a Trench Crusade monster.

His history in Argentina is damning: https://socialism.com/fs-article/pope-francis-the-catholic-church-and-argentinas-dirty-war/
Pope Francis. During the military junta, Fr. Jorge Bergoglio headed the influential Argentine Jesuit order of priests. His own politics were openly conservative and anti-communist. He was deeply hostile to liberation theology which focused on the needs of the poor and was a growing movement among Latin America’s nuns and priests. For decades, many have accused Bergoglio of collaborating with the junta and informing on these left-wing Catholics.
His response:

I cannot see its breasts so I cannot comment on them. I will draw attention to the lack of penis. This is indicative of a cheap costume with NO thought put into it.
This is why they should have hired me instead. I kept emailing and got NO reply. I told them I have the only QUALITY easter bunny costume that I've seen. This FAKE EASTER BUNNY is not FULLY ANATOMICALLY CORRECT.
I only give a leftist take on something if I can back it up with specific theory and/or some historical example. If I'm making a point, I try to ask questions that guide that person into making that point themselves or at least becoming agnostic to it before I reply. I keep things relevant to that person and whatever modes of alienation they already recognise. If academic language is necessary I'll explain it through questions about things that person has already observed, if it isn't necessary then I'll phrase things casually as two schmucks getting fucked by the same system.
It's super easy for me to talk about eco-Marxist ideas at work because they're plainly observable and can be phrased in ways that include the person I'm speaking to. To my boss it's sustainability, best practices, biocentrism, and public outreach. To a coworker it's all the little contradictions I can point out while we're working, always pitting ourselves against some larger structure or idea that I can describe the toxicity of.
It can't be the only policy. A universal right to a job and basic necessities makes the UBI a self-actualisation tool. Otherwise it goes to rent and food.

I can't seem to find his name, but they received funding from a professor at Georgetown who had an anticommunist bent to him.
I'm already banned from every Catholic church within driving distance because I kept demanding an Easter mass and calling them posers. Jesus died for Easter to exist. He DIED on the CROSS so we could enjoy chocolate and lamb every day. Catholics don't care.
Brace yourselves: all the fake Easter fans are about to pretend they care about the subculture for an entire day
When I use Android Auto and my car responds to a voice command, I thank it and call it by its name. You should always try to appease the machine spirit so it works.

Before you cheer on the tariffs that are about to destroy the US, know that all of these cups come from China. You're alienating potential comrades who just want custom cups.
