Browbeating people into voting for a satanic right wing warmonger was a losing strategy in 2016 and it's a losing strategy now. There is a massive chance now that Biden will lose as a direct result of his actions in Gaza. This is directly Biden's fault and no amount of fearmomgering about January 6th will change it, for the record most people don't really even care.

If you're concerned about losing "our democracy", blame the DNC. That they're content with running a senile maniac who is actively facilitating a genocide should enrage you more than people online expressing their disgust with his criminal behavior.

My point was that this sort of thing isn't even politics, it's more like niche fandom discourse. To be concerned with a hypothetical tankie takeover while living in the anglosphere is absurdly irrational and not a serious concern or topic of discussion at all.

If you tried to show this meme to someone irl at like a political rally they'd just squint their eyes in confusion and walk away because this kind of adolescent drama is only meaningful to like a couple of hundred people total, half of whom can't vote and all of whom have 2k+ hours logged in multiple paradox games.

If you look into it, most of the indpendent experts are one right wing crank, Adrian Zenz, who is 100% funded by the UK State-Owned BBC and an American intelligence cutout organization called the NED. He's a far-right Christian Zionist who doesn't speak a word of Mandarin. You should be happy that there's no genocide in Xinjiang (even Zenz has never claimed this), mad that your tax dollars likely went to fund his bogus cause, and furious that those same tax dollars are also being used to conduct a real genocide in Gaza.

If Gaza hasn't shown you that Uyghur Genocide was a crackpot evangelical conspiracy theory cooked up in a Langley basement then nothing will

China is a force for good and Russia is the harm reduction candidate vs the US.

Chinese foreign policy has rarely deviated from moderate, trade-oriented and relatively apolitical over the past few decades. I think the massive allocation of US taxpayer funds toward negative coverage of China has swayed your opinion to the most hawkish extreme. None of these accusations really exist outside of the anglosphere and HK/Taiwan based Sinophone disinfo networks, however most of them are widely acknowledged as crimes that the US has committed in the very recent past in some capacity.

Important to understand that every instance of mugging, shoplifting etc combined is less than half of what's stolen by employers via wage theft. In addition, wage theft is virtually never punished with prison time, unlike shoplifting or larceny.

Shirts are not people, not animals, not priceless relics, just commodities. Direct your 'horror' at an actual evil that affects your fellow humans rather than a minor loss of revenue from stolen property.

American foreign policy since the cuban revolution has openly and intentionally been aimed at depriving Cubans of food in the hopes that the people would revolt. It's being denied the ability to trade with other sovereign nations at the barrel of a gun.

Assembly is fun because it makes you feel like a wizard, even if you're bad and it's not an efficient way to code. Everyone should try it once.

Every person replying to that post is cohabitating in a situation virtually indistinguishable from Salo.

It's truly tragic that we were lied to about Ukraine and Taiwan, there was nothing we could do. This time is completely different though. Generalissimo Buttigieg is the new FDR and if we don't clearcut every square foot of rainforest in Laos then Democracy will be gone forever.
