Absolutely love this game. Still a favourite.

Yes.

No that’s not what you are saying. You’re completely missing the distinction between market mechanisms and public infrastructure:

You cited the drop in child mortality as proof that capitalism works.

Especially when considering the billions of dollars capitalist countries give in aid internationally and domestically. Also, global child mortality has fallen massively during the same period the site is counting these deaths as capitalism’s toll. The under-five mortality rate fell about 60% from 1990 to 2024.

But in reality: Declining child mortality is explicitly driven by non-profit, state-administered public health interventions, clean water infrastructure, mass vaccination programs, and public sanitation.

Well The World Health Organization attributes reductions in child mortality primarily to public health interventions, such as expanded immunization programs, water treatment, and maternal health services, rather than market-driven healthcare.

Uh decreases in child mortality is a result from non-profit, state-driven public health initiatives and mass vaccination campaigns, publicly funded sanitation, and universal health protocols rather than market driven incentives. Credit belongs to public infrastructure, not private market distribution. You can thank socialism for this.

Jail all billionaires. You can’t be that rich without being a thief. You’ve stolen wages from the people.

According to the Encyclopedia of Wars, out of all 1,763 recorded historical conflicts, 121, or 6.87%, had religion as their primary cause.

The United States elected a fascist.

Okay racist.

Okay racist.

The mental gymnastics to be this bigoted is exhausting. The reality is you’re posting this here, anonymously, because you know it’s wrong, racist, and you don’t want to be held accountable for it. You’re a coward who feels safe to attack people who are suffering and because you don’t have the ability to show even an ounce of compassion to others. It’s sociopathic behaviour.

No. Blaming it on people being “dumb” is lazy and wrong, and it makes you a fucking asshole.

Yes, touching Ebola corpses spreads it hard. Traditional burials with washing/kissing the body have fueled outbreaks, including the current one in DRC. Families have stormed clinics and attacked burial teams to get bodies back. That part is real.

But it’s not because they’re too stupid to learn. It’s grief + culture + deep distrust. Proper burial rites are a sacred duty to the dead and ancestors. Many would rather risk infection than skip that. Decades of war, massacres, neglected health systems, and outsiders showing up only for Ebola (while malaria and violence keep killing people) breed conspiracy theories that the response is fake, for profit, or killing patients. High death rates in treatment centers make people think “you go in, you die.”

MSF and Red Cross do go there. Local volunteers risk their lives doing safe burials. Attacks force temporary pullbacks for security, not because the whole population is unworthy.

The transmission risk is real. The “their are too ignorant" take is not. Reevaluate your life.

Will the Yanks ever hold anyone accountable? All signs point to no.

I’ll take Places I’ll Never Visit for 1000, Alex.

Enjoy the decline.

Yanks, can you do something about this guy or what?

The Divided States of America. Only way forward.

The best response to unpredictable neighbours: Canada needs to diversify, maintain strong internal unity, and to focus on relentless self-reliance. Canada has goods the world wants. If the US doesn’t want them Canada can and should go elsewhere.

Anyone who has ever been in a forest should know how difficult it is to do anything, let alone drive heavy machinery through a forest. Add smoke to reduce visibility and it’s near impossible to get bodies on the ground there.

Could Canada spend more on water bombers, yes. Will it stop the fire issue, no. Until the world accepts and addresses our climate problems these fires will only continue to get a worse.

Speed run for fastest decline of a Nation?
