Driving down a road in the countryside is really quite underrated... But it also wouldn't be affected by changing urban planning to include less cars.

More respectful driving culture tbh

California drivers are asleep at the wheel, Massachusetts drivers hate each other, Texas drivers hate everyone... By contrast, British Columbia drivers are at least somewhat sane and respectful.

Do people just magically assume the world is some diverse candy land? The boers are probably one of the only people Russia can bring in without expending any political capital. It's that simple.

The Ukrainian economy needs it tbh

Moving white people to Russia is racist? Huh.

the Taliban is creating a large-scale camera surveillance network for Afghan cities that could involve repurposing a plan crafted by the Americans before their 2021 pullout.

I see that the Taliban is taking notes from it's Western occupiers. London has more security cameras per capita than Beijing and Los Angeles isn't far behind. Kabul is slacking.

Black people can't possibly have a better grasp of what's going on in their backyard than white people on the other side of the planet.

Who's consuming? China, the single biggest driver of increasing oil consumption for the past few decades, is predicted to hit peak oil this year and their oil demand is collapsing due to the massive market share of EVs in the Chinese market.

You mean, African countries aren't happy about austerity measures under IMF loans? No way...

Yes, but think of the profits.

Where are those profits going? Definitely not to you, that's for sure.

The Indian position on Sikhs is more radical than the Chinese position on Uyghurs. That's.... Depressing.

That's literally the role of the government, though.

US politics is basically neither side compromising on the basis of ideology and saying it's the other side's fault.

That's a far more condemnable position when you're the actual government than when you're the opposition.
