  • Really funny that they use the 800 million number given that in 1953, 4 years after the PRC's founding, China's population was around 582 million, yet in the past 40 years (notably after Mao's death) the CPC's governance has lifted 800 million people out of poverty.

    Where did they get the 800 million number from? Did they get it mixed up?

  • "Putler made me call that customer a removed removed removed, motherfucking removed removed. Are you really gonna fire me and let Russian bots control the narrative???"

  • This is at least how hairdressing and tattooing work for a lot of merchants in Amerika.

    If you go to a hairdresser, more than likely they're a contractor renting part of the building whenever they have appointments, rather than being directly employed by the building's owners. Much of the reason prices are so exorbitant for these two services -- you're not only paying for the service, but for the servicer's rent.

  • IIRC Buttigieg and Obama both were raised by Marxists.

    What a shame.

  • Why does there "need to be" war at all?

    Instead of the Russian government, I believe this question should have been pondered harder by the Ukrainian state starting in 2014. They've been given about a hundred different outs in the past 8 years alone.

    One party to this conflict has been murdering civilians en masse after repeated generous peace offers. It is not Russia.

  • Romanian revolutionaries

    brutal [capital-C] Communist dictator

    popular uprising

    I'm glad I'm not the only one that caught a whiff of that Langley, Virginia air. It is too manicured, too evocative, too... Western news media.

    Let me try and fix it.

    Western-backed fascist paramilitary group

    General Secretary of the ruling Romanian Communist Party

    illegal U.S. sanctioned coup d'etat that deposed a ruling party consisting of 4 million people and replaced it with bourgeois minority rule wherein only a fraction of a percent of Romanians were allowed political power.

  • Tangentially related, but I recall watching this Vice documentary about the "witch" mafia currently pulling more than a few Romanian politicians' strings.

    To indicate at how horribly anti-religious totalitarian Romania was, they reference a story of the eldest witch being confronted by Romanian authorities about scamming people with magic hexes and shit. They claim she beat the shit out of one of the officers with a broom, had to pay a fine and spent a night or two in jail.

    Are you fucking serious? What do you think would happen if you beat an Amerikkkan police officer with a broom? Muhforitarian Romania! Gommunist atheism has gone too far!

  • Even Wikifedia's "Racism in China" article cannot seem to illustrate explicitly racist policy prior to 2010.

    And of course, it's about Uyghurs and Tibetans. Same old maliciously ignorant war-drum beat.

  • They'll disappear when they stop getting paid (or programmed) to continue.

  • Too many folk here in Amerika "know" more about what's happening in Ukraine than what's happening in their own damn neighborhoods.

    An addict shoots up. A mugger creates a victim. A cop shoots a black child. A homeless man freezes to death. A drunk beats his wife. Everyone starves and struggles against the tremendous weight of debt. Buildings and streets continue to erode ever further, unmolested by the tyranny of public investment. All within the shadow of billowing Ukrainian and Amerikan flags planted on some "apolitical" petit-bourgeois fucker's perfectly mowed lawn. 🇺🇦 🇺🇸

  • Russians are getting... whatever they get,

    Buddy, Russia is blowing up previously never-exploded Britbong tanks and basically disassembling NATO artillery before it even launches, often simply by having weapons that work.

    The Transatlantic Empire's most effective weapons have proven, like always, to be terrorism and targeted political assassinations. The U.S. is as paper a fucking tiger now as it was when chairman Mao said it.

  • Sadly for him we were too fueled with beer and Soviet revanchism so we started to mock him with stupid pubertat jokes like offering the donation of icepick.

    simply one of the best things I've ever read

  • "Thank you for so readily categorizing yourself as a terrorist organization and saving us the trouble."

  • refusing to even acknowledge real estate developers exist is so real of him wtf

  • "If you stick a knife in my back 9 inches and pull it out 6 inches, there's no progress. If you pull it all the way out, that's not progress. The progress is healing the wound that the blow made.. And they won't even admit the knife is there."

  • Strange that the breakaway republic formed by right-wing Nationalist terrorists has wound up doing racist shit

  • "John Steinbeck is a fucking liar" has me fucking cackling

  • It's unwise to assume truth regarding breaking news, especially when it's continents away. We mustn't so quickly forget the "Russian bombing" of Poland that wound up being a Ukrainian misfire. Panic damn near caused WW3.
