There is great disorder under heaven; the situation is excellent.

do you want all your youtube habits to be in the hands of the government?

They already are

Just for the sake of clarity, what exactly do you think will happen?

This, except its the other way around. The amount of American crying about cyberattacks is crazy given the amount of evidence they have provided.

There can be a revolution in Taiwan.

Don’t bother replying. I don’t want waste my time talking to people who can’t answer a simple question

“I regret the demise of Communism—not for me, but when I see how much my children and grandchildren struggle. We had safe jobs and decent salaries under Communism. We had enough to eat and we had yearly vacations with our children”.

• 68-year-old retired Romanian mechanic, quoted in George Jahn, “In Romania, Turmoil Fuels Nostalgia for Communism,” Washington Post, January 11, 2011.

I guarantee that you would be cooking up these conspiracy theories regardless of any investigations that China had allowed. They could have shipped every citizen of Wuhan straight to your house so you could personally interview them and it still wouldn’t be enough.

Obviously it is a counterfactual but no serious leftist would say that China without market reforms wouldn’t have eradicated poverty, and moreover done it faster and more completely. The seeds of poverty alleviation were planted during the Maoist era; improvement in health, education improvement, and industrialization.

This but unironically. In general though, there is nothing more galling than liberals complaining about Russia. You made it this way. This is on you. First you destroy the soviet union, then you reconfigure the politics and economy of Russia, and then you have the audacity to complain about the very thing you caused.

When you are so deeply propagandized that seeing any different viewpoint causes you to cry for help.

The United States are the GOATs of state sponsored and planned doping at the Olympics. Many of the involved doctors have talked about it in the decades since the '84 Olympics.

This is such an insane thing to say, I feel like you can’t possibly understand what those words mean.

Nah, that is liberalism. https://thenextrecession.wordpress.com/2023/08/02/china-consumption-or-investment/
