Calling all Black people monkeys isn’t ok, but calling all Chinese person slaves is?

Chinese spyware… Hosted in the US. With communications going to US data centers.

Odd that you’d call it Chinese spyware, when the more fair assessment is that it’s American spyware that happens to run a content recommendation algorithm from a Chinese company…

They’re just Japanese war crime apologists. You get used to them.

They’re the same people who’ll say that only Jews suffered from the Holocaust and completely ignored the sacrifices of the Soviets and the Romani people (mostly because they were freed from those camps by the Red Army in the East and the West never saw it). They’re the same people who’ll say that US trade with Japan in support of Japan’s massacres in China was just business. They’re the same people who’ll claim that Japan did nothing wrong until Pearl Harbour.

They are delusional, and they’re not worth your time.

nekandro OP , to worldnews in Biden’s debate performance sets off alarm bells for Democrats

Republicans accept a post-truth society where everything is someone’s propaganda, that the federal government is out to get them and that the union would be better served as a union of state-level republics. Democrats still believe in the existence of a ground truth and want a union with centralized control (i.e., they are Federalists). Like the Federalists, the Democrats are backed by wealthy financial states (New York, California) as opposed to more rural/working-class states (Alabama, Ohio) and support heavy industrial subsidies (Biden’s IRA, CHIPS) as well as weak state governments.

This is a fundamental difference that explains a lot, actually. The role of government has always been to convince populations to pursue the policy goals of the elite. The foundations of representative democracy involve choosing which elites’ policy goals to follow. The Republicans want to follow state elites (to borrow a Chinese proverb, the mountains are high and the President is far away). The Democrats want to follow federal elites.

Here’s the real problem. The US gets to choose between a career politician and a career businessman (swindler, by definition). Who represents the working class? Who represents the people who actually built America’s economy?

Is your principal not elected by the school board (a municipal government)? A superintendent?

Fair enough. I’m just saying that the fact that this is an article in the first place is because of “China bad,” not because it’s anything unique or special.

Calling a spade a spade is a hit piece now? Truly the least propagandized people on the planet.

cute

nekandro , to world in Hong Kong says school children sang anthem too softly

Believe it or not, there’s nothing wrong with telling someone to sing more loudly.

nekandro , to world in Hong Kong says school children sang anthem too softly

Does the principle count, or do you consider that a teacher? What about the superintendent?

People want to make a good impression on their superiors. There’s nothing wrong with that.

The entire principle of authoritarianism is either public support or public apathy. An authoritarian regime is only as stable as its populace.

A government that butchers its people against the will of the populace cannot survive even if it is democratic. A government that butchers people with the will of the populace will survive regardless of whether or not it’s authoritarian.

See: Israel, America, Canada, Australia, UK

There’s no fundamental difference between a democratic and authoritarian government in this regard. The primary difference is (and has always been) whether property is managed as a function of the state (monarchies, socialism) or as a function of the individual (democracies, anarchy).

Well, that and the “people” that get killed in democracies are usually of a different skin colour than you, so maybe you just don’t care?

nekandro , to world in Hong Kong says school children sang anthem too softly

I remember getting scolded for not singing O Canada properly.

Why is this even a story? This shit happens in schools because wrestling kids to do stuff is hard.

Oh wait, I forgot, China bad.

nekandro OP , to worldnews in North Korean troops will become 'cannon fodder' if they aid Russia in Ukraine, Pentagon says

Do you not understand how North Korean defection usually works?

North Korea doesn’t care, because they know that a vast quantity go back and can be used as propaganda.
