The USA is ranked 46th in terms of “press freedom” right behind a country, Romania, that fewer than 25 years ago was run by a one party state with an official state propaganda organ. I guess Romania has made progress in the last 25 years though it has a long ways to go. The USA on the other hand is falling further and further behind as a warmongering government, a sycophantic press and political correctness stifle free inquiry and communication. The “land of the free and home of the brave” is rapidly becoming the “land of the cowed and the home of the afraid.”
Which country is ranked as having the greatest degree of press freedom? Finland. (via att, rsf)
Why are the ‘world wars’ called the ‘world’ wars when it was only a bunch a white countries beefing over who gets to control and fuck up the world the most? Why does everything white suddenly become the world?

the world wars were white
remember the white countries japan, china, egypt, libya, morocco, iraq, brazil, the phillipines, thailand, vietnam, burma and ethiopia in the world wars
so white
and burn.
Pilipinas kong mahal.

(I imagine she’s pretty vain and is one of the most tenacious of the ASEAN even though Thailand still gets more work done. She looks more European than most Asians because Spain, but she has a rly flat nose. Also, the ponytail is based on China’s because of the sheer number of Tsinoys. No doubt that sampaguita clip was an independence gift from America. Please don’t hate me.)
let us all take a moment to appreciate the fact that the tropical country philippines is participating in wintry games for the first time this 2014
