I was asking you what you think.
It seems like you’re the one who’s saying it’s preferable for 2 innocents to be punished by gangs vs. 1 innocent being punished by the state. Is this how you feel, yes or no?
If you’re afraid to answer this question, it’s because you’re insecure and you know how stupid it would look to say you’d prefer more innocent people to suffer at the hands of gangs.
What if more innocents would be suffering worse fates had the government not stepped in with their current tactics?
What do you think should have been done instead?
Good.
I’m glad you can admit your bias and that your idea of who China belongs to is based on personal preference.
Well, if that’s how you want to see it then the idea of “rightful owner” doesn’t matter much.
It’s really just who you like more at that point.
Yeah, it’s really shitty writing by someone who probably got the job for favors.
Just say 1,000…
Why would they bother focusing on consoles at all?
They would be way more successful investing in game developers.
“Nothing to hide, nothing to fear.”
Weird how that only applies to some of us…
Gonna have to start recording everything said while on the clock.
Fuck this subversive bullshit.
Reading up a bit on the history of China, it looks like the Communists won the war for power in the nation and those who were supported by the West fled to Taiwan.
A better comparison would be if the Confederates fled to an island and retained their independence after losing the American civil war.
You need to keep in mind, the capitalists lost. You can live in la-la land thinking they “should have” won, but that’s simply not what happened.
by compromising third-party cybersecurity provider BeyondTrust.
We shouldn’t be relying on a business whose sole purpose is to maximize profit to provide cybersecurity for our public institutions.
We need to raise taxes on the ruling class to have public employees developing software for public institutions.
And of course, public money should only be spent on GPL software. Public funds, public code.
Immigration is a good thing.
If you’re concerned about people immigrating illegally, then maybe it’s time your nation update their immigration laws to make it easier.
but it also undermines those businesses who actually try to produce decent products.
Seriously. There are people who’s entire job is to make sure that businesses that try to raise standards are never successful.
People are punished for not going along with a ‘new normal’ where everything sucks and we need to buy replacements for everything every 2 years.
Once upon a time, it wasn’t normal to have sponsored ads in the middle of youtube videos. But one by one, any moderately successful channel gets contacted by someone saying they can make more money if they sacrifice the quality and integrity of their videos by putting ads in the middle. They are rewarded for collectively lowering everyone else’s standards.
This has been going on for generations. It’s a science at this point.
Tariffs are a bad thing.
They make domestic production artificially competitive by raising the prices of foreign goods and passing that cost onto the working class.
Tariffs exist so your ruling class can make more money off of you without putting in more effort.
I wish there was a quick and easy way to see which posts were censored by mods.
A little button to reveal the content, similar to a spoiler tag, would be ideal.
Seriously. Bring them over to the US! We have plenty of room in states like Wyoming, which has enough space to fit 11 Israels but currently has only 1/16th of the population! And that’s just one state.
Israel: 22,145 sqkm, 9.3 million people
Wyoming: 253,600 sqkm, 580,000 people
Have you played the campaigns for older Call of Duty games and the like? They still hold up.
Honestly, for a bit, it’s probably best they rely on a more tribal mentality before they decide how to centralize power.
Okay. It’s better for fewer innocents to suffer at the hands of the state than it is for more innocents to suffer at the hands of gangs.
You can change your stance going forward, since you’re basing it off of whatever comforts me.
