It's not you being tortured to death in a scam center and trafficked like a slave so I guess you would think that. You're a sick fuck and a clown for making light of either situation, I'll tell you that for free.

It's bad for tourism generally when countries have to prevent their people from coming to avoid being enslaved and murdered. No tourism means no foreign investment. 60 percent of the Cambodian economy is already either directly or indirectly tied into the scam centers according the UN.

At the end of the day it is just a symptom. When institutions are privatized and public goods eliminated, the government sees the public as marks to fuck over. Capitalism is the disease.

Strange Days might be the best cyberpunk movie made in America aside from the original Matrix. Bigelow stopped being interested in making good movies at some point after that. Zero Dark Thirty is one of the most ideologically fascist films ever made in Hollywood and that is a high bar.

Satyros Phil Brucato @satyrosphilbrucato.bsky.social · 21h

It's about time Strange Days finally begins getting the retrospective love and respect it deserves. To me, it's the best pre-Matrix cyberpunk film other than Blade Runner and Robocop, and still better than most cyberpunk films made since.

30 years ago, Katherine Bigelow made a sci-fi flop that changed her career for the better

Strange Days is a noir-soaked science-fiction thriller set against a backdrop of racial tension, police brutality, sexual assault, and disruptive tech

I told you the economy would have to collapse to generate the popular anger to overthrow the government and you scoffed at that as if literally every revolution in history didn't happen during economic hardship. This segued into you taking offense at criticism of Cambodia in general.

Judging by a casual viewing of your account you don't give a shit about what happens on your own doorstep so don't give me that bullshit lol. I'll say what I like when I like. The block button is right there if it makes you mad.

So I am going to take that as a yes. Fuck off back to your sanctioned propaganda and leave me out of it

Are you some kind of Hun Sen shill? Is that why you are mad about criticism of Cambodia? You live in a dictatorship that has been in total control of the country for 40 years who has made it a massive mafia state. You should grow up quick

You live in Cambodia? How would you say the unfolding regional catastrophe of scam centers is effecting Cambodia? Good? Is the reputation of the country good when countries like South Korea are declaring it no go zones because they will be kidnapped and enslaved and killed?

Are you under the impression that revolutions happen that when people are happy and the economy is prospering?

God's Own Monster @scabbyscribe56.bsky.social · 20h

I have no idea. I think it would take the collapse of the Cambodian economy at a minimum to generate popular opposition on the streets.

God's Own Monster @scabbyscribe56.bsky.social · 23h

Cambodia is doomed without revolution. Scam centers are making it a global pariah and nothing will be done about them without the removal of the Hun Sen dictatorship. Cambodia will be embargoed by all their neighbors except China.

“many prominent young republicans are actual Nazis” is a self-censoring fact at this point

normie swing voters will literally refuse to believe it and the media refuses to report it because it would call everything else they’ve done into question

BeijingPalmer @beijingpalmer.bsky.social · 1d

while 'young republicans are literal nazis' is well known to folks here, the extent of it is surprisingly not that commonly known even in media and analyst circles, let alone normal people.

A lot of people in airports don't know the problem is political. They hate the airlines. They'll get it first. Tell them it's political, you create more problems for yourself.

It's true that in New York many people come from places where socialism is attractive. You can sell that if you know who you're talking to. But when you tell people there should be a grocery store a mile away, and you should be able to afford it? They don't think of socialism.

Harry Bloomberg @pittbandphoto.bsky.social · 1d

You are exactly right that Mamdani's is a strictly NYC phenomena. In just about anywhere else, being an admitted Socialist is a kiss of death, even though most people don't really understand the ideology.
