  • So a few years ago I was backpacking in Thailand and I met this very nice local girl during the Song Kran festival (country wide water fight in the streets to wash away evils for the new year) and I ended up going back to her house where she lived with her aunt. Looked exactly like that. Toilet flushed with a bucket that you also used to wash your ass. Bed was a thin mattress on concrete. Cockroaches ran around while you slept. They had just enough to get by, but they shared it with me.

    Now she’s my wife and lives here in the USA and I gotta say, I miss that little shack. Would be nicer than this shit hole country, at this point.

    I think the thing about Americans is that we won’t go halfway with anything. I think that once things flip and people start revolting, the violence that we will see will be SHOCKING. It is just going to take a lot to get to that point. A significant degradation of the daily quality of life. So far we still have bread and circuses, even if they are expensive.
