Personally I kind of dislike how they’re used in the west. Peak individualism. Everyone goes out and wastes a bunch of money so they can compare economical dick sized with their neighbours in a pointless competition. The novelty is gone after the third boom, and it looks like shit, because nothing is coordinated.

I wish fireworks were only allowed to be used by professionals, and there was a tradition that each neighbourhood pooled its’ money together in order to hire someone to come and do a cool show instead. And then give the kids some tiny bombs so they can run off and have fun with that. But none of the rockets or anything.

How about you?

    I dunno, bud. Not all veterans are bad. I’m friends with several and at the time of enlisting all of them were:

    1. children whose brains weren’t truly capable of providing informed consent and making such a life altering decision
    2. poor as shit

    All of them have since turned out to be extremely left of center, and engage in direct action.
