It’s really hard to ‘hide evidence’ in your comparison. No, sorry, that’s stupid. Even Trump can hide evidence, it’s a baby skill. The shabbiness of Chinese industry is by state mandate to quickly scale up China in a short amount of time. Am I racist for saying the Afghani Space Program may not be doing well?

I think the biggest problem in this whole debacle is the utter opaqueness offered by China when trying to get to the source. Is this China’s fault? Well hold on. While this accident may have happened in China, China’s lax attitude toward safety precautions are an open secret. It’s much like the shady labor practices in, well China for one, that we turn a blind eye to. Why?Because it’s cheaper. So partly it is the unevenly applied and audited safety standards. If people are giving China research money, then those labs should be held to an international standard.

Arguing there is no evidence is extremely disingenuous when Chinese government hid most of it. One should be careful about saying “There is no evidence.” too confidently. At a certain point it sounds like an accomplishment and not a result.

That third term’s going to be the longest.

Exactly, but how can Russia’s newest puppet sta… cough… ally help with the next phase of the plan.

Everyone gets to be neutral - right up to the point a fascist plants a flag on your land.

I wonder how long the world is going to be okay with America using deadly violence in the Middle East as a way to mask and deflect from domestic turmoil? At least our “coalition of the willing (to commit war crimes)” is getting smaller.

I don’t think you understand how our military works. It’s not a bunch of soulless T-1000’s you can sick on your enemy, it’s a military full of Californians that might not like killing their family members lol

Let? What, is he going to say it’s against the law? Who gives a shit what a felon thinks about rules and who can and can’t do what.

When the courts said it was legal for a billionaire to spend 250 million to buy votes, I knew there was nothing left of our Democracy. I asked around, no one I knew had 250 million to buy votes for Kamala. Sorry guys.

I thought that’s why you sent Gretzky? You can have him back btw.

No place is safe from these billionaires and trans-national corporations. No nation can stop their collective power, it has to be all of us this time. Remember North Korea - it doesn’t have to ever get better once it gets bad and this is probably our last chance.

Exactly, it’s the tried and true method of appeasement that has made Chamberlain synonymous with effective diplomacy. Nothing can go wrong.

Fine, male mail order bride it is. No kiss on mouth!

I wouldn’t say evil exist no matter what, rather, as I’ve heard elsewhere:

If you had only seen bears at circuses, one might assume that the natural state for bears is juggling while balancing on a ball.

Human nature is a thing we exchanged for larger and larger communities, what it was before and how it’s changed is a largely an unknowable, unwritten thing.

But generally I agree with your sentiment and it’s why I advocate for anarchy and moving to a mutualistic society that shares the wealth of the world rather than letting a few horde it all and begrudgingly toss out scraps.

I’m starting the Fascist Defamation League and my group says you can say whatever the fuck you want to say about genociding maniacs.

I hate what my countries doing, but I also like seeing these other countries come together to give America a big ol’ middle finger. It may force Europe to unite as a major global power (great video discussing some current economic realities) and maybe loosen the power of the IMF and stop all the terrible austerity measure. I hate that term, as if the people who demand austerity even know what that means.

Why would Ukraine be negotiating with another adversary? That’s like a boxer going to the wrong corner after the round, that guy also wants you to get your ass kicked.

I’d say there is one thing at least (/s is noted btw):

Being a victim does not make you an advocate. You would think it does, it happens all the movies and TV shows, but it just doesn’t, not by default.

I’ve heard people say it could never be that bad, because they wouldn’t do what was done onto them.

I hope everyone learns it this time: identity does not define your morality. Trauma is not some magical sauce to a good moral compass, that’s just trying to draw a silver lining on a mass grave.

Cool, where can I flee to?
