social credit is just gen Xs' and millennials' rebrand of orientalism and yellow peril. Boomers just called it called it China's tentacles. It's beaten to death and it wasn't funny when it was brand new. Find new material to veil your orientalism please, this one's all used up
You don't like China claiming Taiwan? Surely if illegitimate land claims are bad, you have issues with Taiwan for claiming China, Mongolia, Russia, Pakistan, India, and more, right?
friend. You're so worried about a one party system because you're thinking of American parties. You know how Mike Bloomberg and Bernie Sanders are both ran under the same party? In a proper single party state there's more range than that.
dyed purple hair is a right-wing dogwhistle for "SJW man-hating feminist", who are more often leftists than they are liberals. You don't have any issues with social justice or feminism, do you?
One party where a basic platform is defined and differences are expressed vibrantly on top of that is better than two parties that brand themselves as different but only offer a couple of aesthetic differences and concessions to keep people mad at the opposing party and not the underlying structure
saying that "people don't starve to death in western countries" without understanding in the slightest the actual harms of food insecurity and how it leads to death is a very accurate representation of the scientific ignorance and sociopathic lack of empathy that capitalism supporters bring to the table in these kinds of discussions a hundred times out of a hundred
What does "authoritarian" mean? Shouldn't we reserve that word for the country with the largest police force, biggest military, and the highest prison population per capita in the world?
ah yes because politics (the management of people at large scale) and economics (the management of things people need to live at large scale) are totally unrelated and have no intrinsic links
In the interest of discussion, what tactics would you personally use if you were a Gazan paramilitary looking to liberate yourself from apartheid? Not saying I'm a fan of how things have gone down either but this discussion is always rewarding when I have it
tell me I did not just look this thing up and see a barrel jack power port đ¤˘
my 2017 laptop charges by USB-C, this hardware looks gorgeous in every other way but the only excuse for a barrel jack is if you need to move more than 100 watts, and even that last holdout for the barrel jack is dated
