This is dumb as hell lol. First of all there is no threat of China invading Taiwan. You can't invade your own country. Second of all Taiwan is perfectly content with the current arrangement this is all just bullshit scaremongering by western press.
Also you didn't even put a source so this is not "news" at all...
As much as we gave yall shit for having so many insufferable libs among your ranks, its silly shit like this that I will miss from the cooler folks over on .ee
Some of yall should consider coming over to hexbear.
Calling bullshit on this. The US has always been a genocidal settler state with nothing but contempt for the poor especially if you aren't white.
This romanticism of some bygone "better days" is also part of the problem. Those days you pine for were extremely fucked too, you just weren't there or if you were you were comfortably middle class and probably white.
And that is why adventurism is bad. I read his manifesto, it was thoughtful, sober, and somber reasoning that made sense in a vacuum, but two zionist staffers getting clapped isn't going to end the war and the media simply buries his own words and paints him as an anti-semite.
Which is why I am incredulous at the idea that a Blu-ray player needs to connect to the internet
Is it really that hard to imagine a future where DRM encroaches further and further on us? Your fuckin blue ray player might not connect to the internet but it is still region locked.
fucking everything connects to the internet these days dude. You fridge, you tv, hell probably even your toothbrush what the hell comment is this? "what you are driving at" is a world that no longer exists, this smart tech shit is being shoved down all our throats as we speak.
It's so hard to wrap my head around too. I know I grew up around much much more radical folks than your average westerner but still had to get over some internalized brainworms as I grew more mature but I never found it hard to be self critical and have always strove to be able to put myself in others shoes or challenge accepted narratives. On that last part I thank my parents and stepdad for inoculating me pretty well against bourgeois/imperialist propaganda. I remember I got called a lib quite a few times on the old CTH subreddit, but instead of telling everyone else they were wrong and acting smug or superior I dug into their claims and realized "oh shit I have totally been misinformed on or had the most important bits of almost all of history omitted. Fuck me, time to take my ass back to school".
I love that the article auto links things like "fire" and "homes" and "San Diego" automatically and instead of linking to any relevant news article it just links to their own search tab for those words lol.
This is just liberal grand standing fuck him.
