"There's a sucker born every minute"

From education to business, lying and scamming is seen as fair play by a huge majority of American people. And things like their credit score system don't help things, when getting ahead can literally be the difference between life and death.

It's not white collar crime unless it comes from the tech ceo region of financial crime otherwise it's sparkling scamming.

"greed is good"

I had to block [Hexbear]. I am very sympathetic and generally agreeable to many communist ideals but their brigading and style of that community is annoying.

That was actually the person who got reported on my blahaj comm so I was vibechecking them and that's how I found this thread (I also found transphobia in their comment history while doing it so they got hit with the ban-hammer )

You claim that China isn't full of cheaters, and yet look at this permutation of Chinese characters, you fucking idiot.

[-] [email protected] 50 points 8 months ago

To the western brainpan Chinese characters are actually magical, everything written in them becomes imbued with totemic truth power. This explains the tattoos.

[-] [email protected] 31 points 8 months ago

Getting "Juan Gweilo" tattooed on my bicep in Chinese as part of my bid for interim president.

[-] [email protected] 29 points 8 months ago

There's an English phrase, "All is fair in love and war" which means SA, torture, looting, executing non combatants are encouraged by westerners so long as you're technically at war.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 8 months ago

Also, totally okay to cheat on your spouse

[-] [email protected] 64 points 8 months ago

i've seen this tactic before... "no im not racist, it's the culture of that entire race* that im against"

*not that race has any scientific basis and is a social construct...

[-] [email protected] 23 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Someone on here said a few days ago that "They have a bad culture" remains one of the last acceptable avenues of racism in polite society, and I've been thinking about that a lot.

[-] [email protected] 62 points 8 months ago

Ever since I started working in social work, I've completely stopped giving a shit about cheating. A good amount of the time I'm helping people cheat various systems to get what they need cause social assistance is so fucked they have to cheat it.

[-] [email protected] 27 points 8 months ago

Exactly, if the system didn't suck then cheating wouldn't be necessary

[-] [email protected] 60 points 8 months ago

Is it racist to say things that are fucking true?

Ah yes, the justification given by every racist since the dawn of time

[-] [email protected] 51 points 8 months ago

It has to do with their culture. Chinese culture is very cutthroat and survival of the fittest. It makes people have the mindset of doing anything they can to win or be successful, even if it means cheating. It’s not just video games. They have a huge problem with it in their education system, as well.

Love it when they try to criticize communism and end up just describing capitalism.

[-] [email protected] 54 points 8 months ago

if you ask a capitalist and a communist to criticize each other they'll both criticize capitalism

[-] [email protected] 49 points 8 months ago

literally only exists because some Chinese guy invented the plow 1500 years ago (while brits were living in actual shitholes)

lol

(btw I mean actual in-the-groud holes full of shit, the Romans even documented it)

[-] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

Please tell me this is not a joke.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago

Romans documented some eastern Anglo tribes chilling in bogs on hot days. Literally wallowing in peat, dead plant matter and mud. It's why they built so many bathhouses.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago
[-] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

Said bogs are filled with corpses. Even today, every now and then a perfectly preserved corpse floats up to the top

[-] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago
[-] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

Got too chill

[-] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

They've really fallen a long way.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago

That's hilarious.

I've seen the wojack comics of it but never knew there was truth to it.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

They either accidentally die in said bogs or also use said bogs for burials, the amount of preserved bodies that show up

[-] [email protected] 47 points 8 months ago

They're actually doing the west taiwan bit? I thought that was just something people here said as a parody

[-] [email protected] 34 points 8 months ago

Everything we make fun of either exists or comes into being because of our connection to the Lathe of Heaven

[-] [email protected] 19 points 8 months ago

That is very much a liberal 'joke'

[-] [email protected] 44 points 8 months ago

Donald Trump literally said he cheats on his taxes on live TV and everyone in America shrugged their soldiers and went "Same"

[-] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

He did say slightly more than that. He said that if Hillary wanted him to pay taxes, she should change the tax-code, but that she wouldn't because her donors and friends and party-members all enjoyed the same tax breaks and loopholes that he did.

[-] [email protected] 40 points 8 months ago

Was doing moderation stuff for the blahaj zone comm I mod and checking through someone's comment history for a vibecheck because they'd had one of their comments reported but it was unclear whether they were just being a dick or should actually be banned and then I found this lol

Literally every university student from the US and Europe was cheating online exams during COVID lockdows ...

[-] [email protected] 21 points 8 months ago

I wasn't 🙂 I should have though 🙃

[-] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

This. My GPA was bad only because I didn't cheat.

[-] [email protected] 33 points 8 months ago

The Fascist instance we defederated from for being fascist is being fascist, who would've guessed

[-] [email protected] 33 points 8 months ago

But guys, they have a cReDiT sCoRE!!!!1!!!1.

[-] [email protected] 29 points 8 months ago

Liberals think the social credit system is a real thing. They're the most propagandized people on earth

[-] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago

It's like, homie, have you ever heard of a criminal background check? How about a credit score?

[-] [email protected] 27 points 8 months ago

hm, i wonder if the world's largest population of online gamers might have a proportionally larger number of cheaters.

[-] [email protected] 27 points 8 months ago

This dude thinks western people don't cheat and scam? Give me a min, I'mma get this dip shit to give me his credit card.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago

Look, in Da West^tm^ only our wealthiest and most powerful people lie scam and cheat, which is better for reasons.

[-] [email protected] 23 points 8 months ago

"If you can cheat, cheat"

“能骗就偏”

从教育到商业,欺骗被绝大多数人视为公平竞争。像他们愚蠢的信用评分系统这样的事情并没有帮助,因为成功与否实际上可能是生与死的区别。

[-] [email protected] 18 points 8 months ago

"If you can pee pee, then poo poo"

Smh Anglo culture encourages pee pee poo poo

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
