I suppose Eddie Izzard would have had to drastically change his routine if McDonalds had shown up in India first ▶ this video
> We are the counterculture. Isn't that a tad bit arrogant to stick a flag in all of it? See also: ▶ this video Youtube is "lame as fuck." Release everywhere to not be arbitrarily silenced because anything good is controversial, by definition. Why abuse the word "counterculture" so many times? It comes across like you're trying too hard. Good luck and I hope you find an audience rather than make at obscurity for the point of staying in obscurity.
I wouldn't be surprised if they would, if only there still were nonsovereign territories (in the sense of "having a flag" [1]) around for taking. [1] ▶ this video
No flag, no country..you can't have one. Thats the rules that I've just made up and I'm backing it up with this gun. ▶ this video
