nekandro OP ,

Wait, you mean China is the one that’s been consistent on policy and the Philippines was flipflopping?

nekandro ,

The right to resistance does not make occupation illegal. China is simply saying that Ukraine should be allowed to fight back just as Palestine should be allowed to fight back.

nekandro OP ,

If anyone wondered what would have happened in the US if the US had a wave of protests similar to Hong Kong… This is what would have happened. In fact, this protest seems better organized, more structured, and a little awe inspiring to be honest

Now the question is if the students can organize en masse and march on the capital to occupy the Capitol.

nekandro OP ,

This is… Not evidence of coordination, but of network effects. The same reason that hockey fans descending into a riot after losing Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals is not an indication that they organized a riot.

Meanwhile European car manufacturers are terrified of a trade war because their Chinese market sales far outweigh any Chinese EV sales in Europe.

nekandro OP ,

This is the exact shit people were saying for the Hong Kong protests, and the exact shit people were saying for the Tiananmen Square protests. Word for fucking word.

nekandro OP ,

You’ve watched the full Tank Man video, right? The one where the guy gets dragged off by other protesters?

A picture tells a thousand words, but often it’s not the correct thousand words.

nekandro OP ,

It’s a perfectly fair comparison.

A lot of things are production issues rather than technology issues: semiconductors, cars, artillery shells… IBM had a 2nm chip in 2021. Trevithick had an automotive in 1801.

Doesn’t mean it’s easy.

The right to free speech and peaceful protest, what a funny joke.

FOX 7 Austin photographer among dozens arrested at pro-Palestinian protest at UT campus

nekandro ,

Lol the OP missed the biggest part: journalists are being locked up for daring to photograph this shit

Cornell University has temporary suspended me alongside 3 other students/grad workers. They have deliberately targeted students with precarious positions such as visa status. They have given me a grace period but I am no longer permitted on campus. I know they have done this as a means of bringing down the encampment. The university has acted in extremely bad faith and refused to engage in any form of dialogue about our demands. It is clear that they are more concerned with appeasing their Zionist donors and keeping their hands drenched in blood than over the expressed refusal of their students and workers. I’m okay and please don’t stop talking about Palestine.

nekandro OP ,

The EU: “they’re going to outcompetes us!”

European companies: “please bring on the competition!”

Why is the EU so useless?

nekandro OP ,

As of June 2022, 100% of all U.S. user traffic is routed to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure in the United States, and today all access to that environment is managed exclusively by TikTok U.S. Data Security. We have begun the process of irretrievably deleting historic protected user data in our own Virginia and Singapore data centers; once that process is complete, it will effectively end all access to protected U.S. user data outside of TikTok USDS except under limited circumstances stipulated in our proposed national security agreement.

Guess that wasn’t enough…

You know what has a stronger record of plummeting fertility rates than government intervention? That’s right, education and societal factors. Education attainment skyrocketed, national fertility dropped, and people are surprised that the net result is that Xinjiang’s fertility dropped faster than the national average?

nekandro OP ,

Is it? Chiang Kai-shek cemented his place in Chinese history for fighting alongside Sun Yat-sen against the military junta instituted after the fall of Qing. Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Zedong then led China through the Japanese invasion.

His place in Chinese history is undoubtable. You shouldn’t need to be perfect to be remembered.

Which is why the Navajo Nation controls land that would have otherwise contained the Hoover Dam, if it were not for the rights that the Navajo held to the natural resources there.

Oh, wait.
