Dollar Tree being only a single dollar on everything.
I didn’t know Dollar Tree existed further back in the years like the 80s. But, I didn’t discover the store until like late 2000s. That store was a godsend for my then mostly broke ass. Sure the quality of products could’ve been better and the food selection could’ve been better, but they were there for me and others who’re strapped on budgets.
And it was a good 16 years while that lasted. It is a little annoying at times to shop there and know it is no different than Dollar General and Family Dollar. But it could’ve been worse.
I was agreeing with you… but okay. The time period you specified is dominated by the largely uncontested ascendancy of the liberal international order, aka the West.
Idfk man, you’re saying it in a context that invokes the same mood as “liberals bad, Russia utopia”
“The West” 🙄
Oh fuck all the way off.
People mean the liberal international order (of western democracies) when they refer to “the West.” It is a shorthand. If the phrase can’t even come up without your toxicity, I’ll just block you and remove the source of the annoyance.
