Could it be the stress of hyper competition to get the best grades in school in order to enter the best universities?
Could it be the korean social pressure that is always reiterating and reinforcing that those older and/or above you should never be questioned?
Could it be that salaries just aren’t enough anymore to pay for their own needs, plus their parents’ (since most retirement pensions don’t even cover the basic cost of living), as is expected from korean society?
Nah, it’s the wimmin dominating society and making this gesture 🤏
This is particularly interesting because its not a right wing opposition to left wing winning a vote. Its a FAR right wing opposition to a right wing winning a vote.
The vote Tuesday was against certifying recounts for a Washoe County Commission Republican primary and a nonpartisan school board primary, both on June 11. The recounts were requested by a Republican who lost to incumbent Commissioner Clara Andriola and a right-leaning candidate in a crowded nonpartisan primary. Both got funding from local activist Robert Beadles.
Make sure that you tell anyone who is searching the document for topics they care about to use alt-right, MAGA, and dog whistle terms for the topic. The people who wrote it didn’t always use normal words to hide what they are actually talking about.
I’ll second the other one asking and go further and say we need a pretty good, to the point write up of these dog whistles. Anyone that is vaguely “on the fence” will need to see it direct for themselves and I think most of us are ill-equipped to walk the language back to plainly stating it for what it is.
Forced labour and other severe human rights abuses are evident in China’s Xinjiang region, even though there is no full supply chain transparency in China. Your remarks regarding the US are true, but here this apparently is a blatant whataboutism.
What a rubbish. Even Turkey, a country whose government is not exactly a role model for democracy itself, has long called out China’s treatment of its Muslim ethnic Uighur minority “a great cause of shame for humanity”. Volkswagen closed its Xinjiang-plant it ran with joint venture partner SAIC as “no full supply chain transparency exists”.
Markus Löning, Germany’s former commissioner for human rights who oversaw an audit on forced labour for Volkswagen last year (this the one report that is often cited in this ignorant communities where wumaos and ziganwus have given up their own personal developments just for parroting propaganda that is out of touch with world) conceded that the basis for the audit had been a review of documentation rather than interviews with workers, which he said could be “dangerous.” He also said that “even if they [workers] would be aware of something, they cannot say that in an interview.” And when asked about potential links between SAIC-Volkswagen and an aluminum producer in Xinjiang, Volkswagen responded: “We have no transparency about the supplier relationships of the non-controlled shareholding SAIC-Volkswagen.”
In addition, there are numerous Uyguhr people who survived the so-called ‘re-education camps’ who spoke out. A 10 seconds search has found this and that.
This is a VERY TINY sample of what’s wrong with Chinese supply chains and the country’s stance against human rights, and it’s no limited to cars but spans practically all industry sectors. There is ample evidence.
No, you cannot walk around freely. This exactly is the point. There is no full supply chain transparency. Company executives and auditors say that, human rights experts, even some politicians who visited the country. Audits are just based on interviews, and these are useless, as even if workers would be aware of human rights violations, they cannot say that in an interview. This is said by those who have been there and conducted the audits. Read the sources.
At the start of this years, the Chinese government itself has -once again- openly rejected critical calls for human-rights reforms at the U.N. meeting, just to name another example, including a call for an end to persecutions of Uyghurs. It also rejected all recommendations calling on the government to end reprisals against individuals engaging with the international human rights system, even a message of disdain on the ten-year anniversary of the death of Cao Shunli in detention, a former Chinese human rights defender taken into custody on her way to Geneva for China’s 2014 UPR (Universal Periodical Review).
Prior to the U.N. meeting this year, China had even lobbied non-Western countries to praise its record by asking them to make “constructive recommendations”, which were essentially bland questions, make vague recommendations, and use their platform to praise the Chinese government’s rights record. And China has been blocking any domestic civil society groups from participating in the preparation of the state report or from making contributions to the review by the U.N. for decades, very much as it does with supply chain audits.
And, again, these additional examples are a VERY TINY sample of what is evident.
Donald Trump has lately made clear he wants little to do with Project 2025
I don’t think that’s clear at all. He clearly doesn’t want anyone to think he’s directly responsible for it, and honestly that much is probably true (seriously, does anyone think he’s forward-thinking enough to come up with any of it?). But I don’t think he’s said at all that he wouldn’t go along with it if elected.
Indeed, I do concur. The collective influence/strength of the technically savvy people in the world is a force to be reckoned with. Reminds me of the ratio of the number of individual Chinese state sponsored “hackers”, and Russian state sponsored “hackers”, compared to the ones employed by the United States military. Those persistent threat actors do be consistent, and highly, highly effective, if the Solarwinds hack is any indicator. It turns out that having the corporate world poach talent because of better pay and benefits, in addition to political policies that alienate the IT talent base that would be needed for “victory” (it would be a victory for no one, the quality of life on everyone on the planet would drop drastically) if full scale war were to break out, is not good for realpolitiking.
Geopolitics, ancient history, the paranormal/highly strange & esoteric knowledge have been the things that I would say have fascinated me most in life. Due to recent experiences in my life, I am A LOT more concerned with exopolitics now than I am with geopolitics :| and to those that do not believe in non-human, intelligent entities existing… well… I would recommend that you read some of the trip reports of people who have done high doses of DMT. I also personally grew up in a ludicrously haunted house, where even with my bipolar that I’ve mentioned in my comment history, my 5 older siblings and all of their friends had experiences occur and sightings happen at that house (it was an old farm house here in Utah, had a barn and well and shit.) Alternatively, from a more physical, militarily minded perspective, I will go ahead link a source on UFOs back in the cold war flying up to American nuclear weapons silos, being detected on radar, physically seen by multiple military personnel at the bases, tampereing with nuclear warhead launch sequences, then flying away.
It’s honestly pretty god-awful, but the actors were not to blame for that. They all did a fine job, including Benji Gregory, which was impressive for his age.
Some of that, though not as much as you’d expect, plus some sexism thrown on top. Mostly it was just really bad writing and the same joke over and over again.
In pog form!..pog!! Thanks! Where these little plastic circles that came in as toys in your favorite Doritos or whatever snacks. Just FYI if you’re ready this and got no insight. Then Bart’s friend Millhouse said that on the Simpsons. This is a very important historical event that must be on every book. Specially history books.
