Three raccoons in a trench coat. I talk politics and furries.
I just find it interesting how some love to blame the US first for issues in other countries.
It is a known pattern. Even the article itself points out the U.S. has a hand in the current crisis:
The nation of 11 million is experiencing its worst economic crisis since the collapse of the Soviet bloc in the 1990s due to fallout from the coronavirus pandemic, the recent tightening of US sanctions and structural weaknesses in the economy.
In early 2019 bittorrent’s website views fluctuated between ~6M to ~9M. Now it’s around 3M to 4M.
In early 2019 utorrent’s visits fluctuated between ~26M to ~75M. Now it sits around 25M to 21M.
The fact that there were far more captures in early 2019 for both of them might be an indication that this was their peak, and while visits have reduced since then they’re far from dying.
Streaming services may be part of the reason, though I also think it’s because many games and software have switched to freemium & microtransactions so spending money is optional, along with the fact that free and open source alternatives to mainstream software have become more robust and popular. When I was a kid I torrented Sony Vegas, but now that’s simply not necessary since we have DaVinci Resolve.
Mercedes also better support UBI so that these workers who will lose their jobs to automation don’t starve to death.
Well yeah Andy Ngo does literally hang out with fascists so that’s a given lol
He actively sought out confrontation and killed two people after he got the confrontation he wanted. The right idolizes him because he’s a murderer and buddied up to white supremacists, and now he’s pandering to them for money and affirmation, and runs away as soon as he faces any criticism.
So no, we don’t dislike him for being white. We dislike him for being just like any other fascist grifter who fetishizes violence.
