    Re: Evangelion condoms????
    I looked *VERY* hard for official Eva condoms, but to my vast disappointment, couldn't find any. I think it's the one product Evangelion hasn't expanded its vast merchandising empire to. If you can find em tho (remember: they gotta be officially licensed!) by all means lmk.

    I’m currently visiting family in Japan and I could not escape Evangelion. I didn’t know what it was at first, but then there was the merchandise everywhere. I went to visit some family outside of Tokyo in the mountains where I saw a restaurant covered in Evangelion posters and statues. I was in Shibuya where a van drove by blasting the intro music advertising an Evangelion expo. I took a fucking bullet train to Kyoto where I saw a massive Eva-1 statues from the window. I’m going fucking crazy.

There's still Ukranians who want communism back (just not under Soviet imperialism, I know complexity isn't your strong suit but please keep up), same with Kazahks and Cambodians, though there's a lot of propaganda and lying there, Venezuela is provably capitalist so I don't know where you get your information from, North Korea isn't a good example, especially with how little we know, and China isn't communist anymore. Dude, you've lost, stop trying. You realize no ideology is perfect and communism can be altered to be more moral right? You don't probably know because red bad but still
