Banana Republic isnt a good thing.

Of course it is. How do these foreign companies own such large amounts of land in these countries? (Hint: US-sponsored coups). Why are these countries producing large amounts of a single crop via monoculture practices instead of solving for the nutritional needs of their own population?

Combat footage is killing my friendships

I think you have a pretty big typo at the end of your first paragraph.

But I agree with you, I hate that sub, and I don't understand how people can stomach watching that as entertainment/a passtime. To me just watching videos of people being killed (no matter who they are) inevitably leads to dehumanization. Like, I'm glad Nazis were killed during WW2 but I don't spend my day searching for pictures or videos of dead nazis.

[META] What sort of content would you like to see here?

Didn't want to make a whole post just for this, but looking at the sidebar,

Men at the top of society enforce a system (patriarchy) that ends up repressing the average man.

I don't agree with this statement. I don't think patriarchy is enforced by "men at the top of society", but by most (if not all) men. Sure there is a spectrum of how much of a.. patriarchy reproducer a man can be, but that doesn't mean it's only men "at the top" hurting the "average man".
