    Reminds me of the quote from the antagonist in Far Cry 3.

    Doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome.

    Edit: just in case people think I'm blaming Brazilians. I'm not. Technofascists can eat dirt, but it's Stockholm syndrome continuing to use their tools for communication.

    It's More so not being given an alternative then stalkholm syndrome, btw that is actually a made up term by police.

    It was originally use to explain why hostages side with their agressers, making it a psychological problem rather then admitting that the kidnappers might have actually been making good points and the captives actually agreeing with them and cooperateing.

    Oh good gravy. At a certain point the victim gets to be blamed for their own problems for the continued support of American tech. This is like trying to excuse the American people for the American government. They voted. They didn’t behead. Tough tits.

    No. Victim blaming is actually bad every time.

    If someone is driving drunk and runs into a tree, it's their fault. I don't care if they're the victim. They made shitty choices, and choices that endanger others at that.

    No, victim blaming isn't bad every time.

    A drunk driver hitting a tree is not a victim. The tree would be the victim in this case.

    You're a victim to your own actions, like the person above was saying.

    You have the ability to block me. You choose not to block me. You are not the victim.

    You would love it if I blocked you. Then I wouldn’t be around to push back on all your stupid ass comments.

    I never said I was the victim.

    I don’t really feel like you’re pushing back. I already have you tagged, so I don’t respect anything you say. If it makes you happy, continue. I can block you too lol

    Isn't most of the 3rd world on WhatsApp?

    You use it because the people you want to talk to are on it. Network effect

    Most of the first world too, except like China.

    The EU runs on WhatsApp except in some places like sweden where it runs on fucking Facebook messenger apparently 😂
