Ei Ei Lwin, the Burmese fisherman, claims he saw “18 to 20 people killed in front of me”

>thread about shrimp
>/pol/ comes along to take a shit in it as usual
Remember when Veeky Forums had mods? Yeah me neither.

/pol/ banter still beats the shit out of
>why do americans eat burgers instead of kinder eggs?
>why do flyovers eat burgers instead of cow tongue in aspic?
>why do new yorkers eat new york pizza instead of 'go 'za?
>thread with just pics of 50's abominations
>thread with just pics of rice and fish because japan

that's 99% of these threads. shrimp and racism is at least a change of pace.
also the main reason Veeky Forums can't handle bantz is that half the people here are 40 year old british women. its like pic related up in here

>can't tell the difference between an 80 year old and a 40 year old
Jesus, sometimes I forget this place is full of young children

Also this explains a lot regarding hyper defensive flyovers

see? pissed off another 40 year old lady from Kent by implying she looked like Judi Dench

This is what a 40 year old woman looks like, you child

no that's what a 40 year old american woman looks like after she has befriended two libertarian wizards.

Britain has no such wizards and the rough sea gales and foggy atmosphere withers the skin into a Judi Dench like consistency very early on. I've seen wee babbies in prams that look like little Judi Denches. I've seen playgrounds alight with the tittering laughter of children who look like Judi Dench. I've even seen ultrasounds of embryos with Judi Dench faces.

The lady all the way to the right looks closer to 70

>Why are you still eating slave shrimp, Veeky Forums?

Don't try to pass personal responsibility onto me for the affairs of the world.

I wouldn't know, never been there. Must be something in your water supply.

>it is fucking stated plainly and still don't get that it was only done used to ruse soccer moms who are just starting to dye their grey hairs over
You lot are so rustled you obviously can't help yourselves from proving him right, aren't you?

i haven't either i'm just fucking with you. which is exactly what Veeky Forums needs more of.

I've gotten banned for:
Replying to a curry thread with "poo in loo"
Making fun of Japanese people
Making fun of weebs
Making fun of vegans
Talking about hot dogs

Veeky Forums is a "no fun allowed" board

Who is "you lot"? I'm a 31 year old American male. You're an 11 year old American pre-pubescent since obviously anyone over 20 might as well be 120 years old.

>hostile shitposting equals banter meme

go back to your containment board retard

Calm down.

If you can't handle hostility or shitposting, you don't belong on Veeky Forums. Perhaps tumblr is more your speed.

Children your age who can't tell the difference between "bantz" and "I'm a stupid fucking tween who literally believes britain and the united states are engaged in an internet war and my country's honor must be avenged" are a big part of why this board's quality has declined so much lately

Nobody believes that. We're just having fun, something you've obviously forgotten how to do in your old age.

>getting this mad

>posting a half chewed hamburger with the caption BIG MAC 3 times a day is "having fun"
No, please leave

>maximum butthurt
Oh man, you're white-knighting wrinkly bitchen on the other side of the pond. On the internet. Anonymously. You must be in the dry spot of a century.

Don't worry the TPP will make it legal.

Listen lady, I know menopause can be tough and you're worried about the next Muslim knife attack, but you don't have to take your frustrations out on me.

TPP can only help. Hating TPP is literally a meme (muh evil corpurashuns)

>having a parallel legal system set up for just the big guys where the odds are overwhelmingly skewed in their favour is no big deal
>youre maymaying if you oppose this
Keep calm and KYS.

Globalist capitalism is kikery distilled into an economic philosophy. Capitalism cannot work without nationalism.

>set up for just the big guys where the odds are overwhelmingly skewed in their favour is no big deal
Do you feel in control?

>Capitalism cannot work without nationalism.
What you're saying is
>Capitalism cannot work unless it's not Capitalism but Mercantilism

Seriously read a basic economics book and fuck off

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. Capitalism cannot work, not on a time scale longer than a few hundred years.

>offers no argument as to why a parallel judicial system is a great idea or that such supposedly neutral arbitration proceedings have not historically been incredibly partisan
>instead suggests mental health issues
Are you a sandwich short of a picnic, lad?

Someihe get this hothead out of here.

>Capitalism cannot work, not on a time scale longer than a few hundred years.
It seems to be working just fine even with several attempts in history to squelch the productivity and wealth that capitalism has brought to the common man. Mercantilism is a step backwards.

Capitalism is a gilded cage that will eventually collapse under its own weight.

Yea okay buddy

>capitalism is working fine
>who is piketty
We now have greater wealth inequality that in the class societies golden years. In the most "capitalistic" country the so called middle class has not seen an increased purchase power for half a century in spite of enormously increased productivity.
Only the mixed-model countries have a middle class.

Get the free market fundamentalist his medicine, please.

You can only piss on a man and tell him it's raining for so long before he rips your dick off and shoves it down your throat.

We have to pass through the "shitskins and jews are why I'm not a winner" phase first

It's actually WASPs and Jews. Used to be the Catholics before Europe's monarchies were all broken up.

No, no you misunderstand. You must tolerate other cultures unless it somehow upsets the sensibility of liberals then it's okay to be all racist and shit.

>using the echo

Brilliant!

My dad worked in a fish store for most of his life and always insisted we buy shrimp from USA or Central America, so I always look for those now. Usually the same price, just takes a little looking.

wtf i hate Veeky Forums now

>America
>free market
Had a good laugh, man.

>/pol/ threads are a change of pace on Veeky Forums

I made this my main board because my home boards were ruined by /pol/ and I love cooking and this board is still pretty chill. Please mods save us from race baiting it's so played out.

The racial discourse here is closer to /int/ than /pol/

>thread is more about a political topic than a food topic
>get mad when replies are political

Mcfucking kill urselfs

haha Jesus Christ so you're a refugee from the nazis? Was your grandma systematically exterminated by all the Pepe pics?
>I was there when the nazis invaded it was horrible. there were MAGA hats and frogs and all the threads i called home were burned to the ground. the moderator was raped and hung in town square. i got on a train and as i looked back i swore "never again..."

My great-grandfather. The man never talked about his experiences. His wife only knew what information the army sent her, or his letters home revealed.
His children only knew he served in the war. His grandchildren, my mother included, just knew he was a veteran because of his helmet that sat on the mantle above his fireplace.
If anyone asked, he would shrug it off and say I did my time.
I was ten when I told him that I wanted to be a history teacher. He perked up and asked "why?" I responded that I wanted people to tell people about how amazing our past is. And how if we do not learn from the past, then we are doomed to repeat it.
He never broke from a neutral expression, but his eye did soften up a little: his other eye was blind and sat off to the side like a cloudy blue drop.
His left hand shook all the time. He blamed Parkinsons around my parents... but I had my suspicions after my grandfather told me that his dad always shook like that when he got nervous or sad.
I finally asked him. "What happened to you over there?" He made sure his wife was watching The Price is Right before turning back to me. That's when he broke it down. The whole story. He served in the European theater at the age of seventeen: forging documents to get in.
After some training, he got to Europe a few weeks after the Allied Invasion of France.
He never gave specifics of his who he served with, and as to why will be an eternal mystery.
He said he never saw a single German soldier during his time there. Just the aftermath of previous attacks.
He said he was eager to do some fighting after he actually turned 18 - he said having two nineteenth birthday celebrations was kind of funny.
Near the end of the war in '45, he was sent alongside many others to the front lines inside of Germany proper. There he said he saw true suffering.
Malnourished people, women selling themselves to ten soldiers a day for some food rations, children carrying loot for soldiers...

>Why are you still eating slave shrimp, Veeky Forums?

that's capitalism breh
if being murderous savages is the most efficient way to bring shrimp to market then so be it.

Currently there is no vastly better alternative. We just have to wait until glorious lab grown meat arrives. Lab grown meat will the food revolution. Every cut of beef will be beautifully marbled, completely free of disease and artificial shit. Lobster will be cheap and plentiful. Lab grown meat will be the greatest thing to happen to food since fire. The moral dilemma of meat will no longer be an issue. In 50 years we will look back, while eating our $5/lb prime porterhouse with a side of main lobster tail, and we will laugh at the fact that once people were killed and other payed top dollar prices for meat that they would put into dog food.

Or you can just buy North American shrimp, retard.

The key word there is "vastly." Spending extra money on shit like grass fed beef or North American shrimp yields barely any noticeable change in taste but requires me to spend extra money. Why would I have to spend extra money on shrimp because some ship captain in Burma is a dick?

>Shrimp is produced by slave labor
>Still costs an arm and a leg

Fuck seafood, man.

>pend extra money on shrimp because some ship captain
Why should some slave die so you can save two bucks on shrimp? You don't need shrimp to live. Even if you completely suck at life and can't balance your diet without some shrimp, you still don't need so much of it that paying fair market prices is going to be a substantial financial burden

Because it tastes good.

The capitalist system supports his needs more than those of some poor shrimp fisherman unless the laws change.

The fallacy of organic food is that I am really helping save someone's life on the other side of the world. First of all, why should I care about that person? Second, me switching to free trade shrimp or whatever won't do shit. I buy maybe a hundred shrimp per year, while restaurants buy more than I ever could.

The capitalist system is why I can even get shrimp despite living over a hundred miles from the coast instead of having to starve because my economic system is shit. The funny thing is Burma/Myanmar is a socialist shithole while neighboring Thailand is capitalist and is doing much better.

You're retarded.

Because it's a fucking foos board, you vapid twat.

They're the same price, and by buying Gulf shrimp you're supporting American businesses, which you should want to do if you're not a communist traitor piece of shit.

It varies by region you nonce

>First of all, why should I care about that person?

Thanks for posting, edgelord.

YOU DON'T AVOID FOREIGN SHRIMP BECAUSE OF MUH SLAVERY OR MUH FEELS, YOU AVOID IT BECAUSE IT'S FILTHY FUCKING SHIT HARVESTED OUT OF WATERS YOU WOULDN'T PISS IN. SERIOUSLY, YOU THINK BURMA HAS ANY CLEANLINESS STANDARDS YOU FUCKING MORONS? THOSE TIGER SHRIMP ARE SO FULL OF FUCKING CHEMICALS AND SEWAGE THEY MAY AS WELL BE CHINESE

IT'S AN INFERIOR PRODUCT, AND IF YOU CAN'T TELL YOU'RE AN INFERIOR PERSON.

>talking about hot dogs
must've word raped the mods by mentioning a phallic food check your frankfurter privilege like omg i can't even

Maybe you should stop using your phone and computer then. We all know some of the shit in here come from african slave.
>inb4 it's fine if it's nigger warlords

Wow dude your such a hero you buy shrimp from the gulf
Gulf spill shill pls go

>implying that OP's post wasn't /pol/ garbage to begin with
stay out of /pol/ threads if you don't like /pol/

I used to get banned regularly for posting threads about the food I was served and the food I helped prepare when I was in the hospital and in rehab.

The people who moderate this board are epic faggots who give a shit about food and/or cooking. Post too much oc is THE cardinal sin for them. Cross-board shitposting is like their pet hobby and they never, ever do anything about it.

Is 8 dollars for 6 pieces of medium shrimp tempura a rip-off?

>there is no point in being a good person when something bad is happening somewhere
spoken like a 15 year old who is just figuring out that god isn't real and you won't be punished for being a jerk

Someone sure is salty.

>the capitalist system
So are you going to argue that slavery is a natural part of capitalism?

I'm ok with that because it's basically true, but I just want to make sure we get that out in the open

What the fuck do I care? Me depriving myself of the monthly batch of jumbo popcorn shrinp isn't going to keep subhuman shrimp captains from buying slaves or whatever. I really don't give a shit, I'm an American and as long as my life is comfortable the rest of the world can go fuck itself. I rolled a lucky number in life and was able to be born to white parents in a country made for white people. Sucks for you, shrimp boys. Their government is supposed to stop bad things from happening, not mine.

Would their lives be better if we didn't trade with them? Without recolonizing them we have limited influence.

Their governments aren't really people you can negotiate with, they'll just turn around and do the same thing regardless.

More for me.

Slavery is a natural part of greed. People tend to attribute all these negative things to ideologies when all it is is people being shit toward one another. There are forms of slavery in both capitalist and communist nations because at it's heart it's just some guy trying to get something out of someone else for as little as possible.

Christians, your religion is literally the same as theirs. And few missteps in history and you would be in the same place as them.
All Abrahamic faiths are garbage

It's just the usual clappyfat cultural fallacy:
>I live in the west and I'm unique and above it all
>but anyone who lives in another culture must automatically be a textbook adherent to whatever the official state religion is, and all their actions are a direct extension of official state policy and/or that religion

>Being correct about something involving race and culture is /pol/

How much did those blinders set you back?

>living in a country with a state religion
Sounds horrible. Why would anyone want to do that?

learn to express your thoughts without meming and you won't get spotted so easily
/pol/:
>I got cucked by drinking gallons of bull semen nigger dicks after they're """culture""" culturally enriched my wife's son they have to go back or else I'm never going to be a winner redpill redpill religion of peace
not necessarily /pol/:
>I dislike this group of people and here, in my own words, is the reason ____________

If you can't tell the difference, lurk less

The only thing his post has in common with your /pol/ strawman is the use of quotation marks around "culture"

you forgot the distinctive butthurt over "tolerance"

Cultural relativism is a joke, and I say that as a socialist faggot.

Only /pol/ can't tell the difference between being able to go outside and see a person who looks different from you without getting triggered, and defending pedophilic rape

ergo, gb2/pol/

>muh /pol/ boogeyman
I've been posting on Veeky Forums since before /new/ even existed, nigger.

Under rated

>Ywn be a loyal subject of the Crown

>he believes in a debunked economic system
Get with the times, gramps

>Cultural relativism is a joke
What you mean to say is, "my culture is right, everyone else is wrong".

Look, if I don't eat the shrimp it was all for nothing right?
At least this way the suffering was worth it and I appreciate their sacrifice.
