Exactly how many times has the US lied to us? You expect me to to belive the country that said Iraq had WMD when they say anything? When they brag about lying all the time?

The country that says Iraq had WMD said China did a thing that wouldn't make any sense for them to do. That is the extraordinary claim. Why do you feel that a claim made by the US, who has only ever lied to you, is a reasonable starting point?

I am thinking maybe some free speech here might be appreciated

In bad country you can be punished or even jailed for talking about government officials. Not here in America though.

I had a security guard at a hospital give me a hard time about wearing a mask still. It's doffrent down here

Yes, and everyone around you all the time is going unmasked and raw dogging the world. Including members of your family. So you either have to give up all social contact, since even if you are good about masking your friends will want to go out and eat and drink in public. So you skip that or take an exposure. Even stuff like wearing s mask to the grocery store which, would be a good precaution, has a nonzero chance of leading to some altercation. It really is wild how hostile society is to what would be simple precautions. Ahh, I got caught by federation. I didn't realize this was a Canada thread. Maybe you have it easier up there. Down here in America things are... stressful

There are so many vectors for infection that it is kinda silly to try. That being said I still wear mine as a matter of professional ethics.

Yes. I work in a hospital and people tend not to bother anymore among the staff.

I remember when vaccines rolled out. I would have to sit down and go over it. But there was a time where I stopped having to process bodies for the morgue at my job and that was a nice change. We still saw lots of sick people, they just didn't die nonstop. So vaccine all thr way.

That is was to break the spirit of comunism. Now that the revolution there is broken I doubt that ideological controlls are tight enough here to keep the markets from going in if Russia allowed it.

Opposing what had historically been the only superpower and the current world hegemony is enough really. That is a real big ask. Cause presumably all they would have to do is sell out to the west and they could have all the money they wanted you know?

Yes, being weirdly conservative is part of libersl ideology.

Sarcasm. I thought I was being cute and charming.

If we actually got to try some I might like democracy as well.

If there is, they got better opsec then me posting about this.

First off. How dare you‽

When your options are fight or flight and half that is off thr table you only have one path to take. Crying alone in a fast food resteraunt while everyone pretends to not notice

They are clearly better than me at what they do. I am not inclined to question their methods.

No, there were issues

The problem is that policy hurts the poorest who have the least say in thr policy
