Persuasion is unfortunately a very long road…

Having an official government source to point to is always helpful with our dear Libs, but other than that I agree with you

We all knew they were doing it, but it’s nice to see them admitting it

Oh boy this tired take again

Vassalage is when strategic partnership rooted in complimentary economic fundamentals

You are welcome!

If I may, I highly recommend taking your scraps and simmering it into a bone broth, then using that to make the most exquisite rice

So when you lived in China, did you witness these human rights violations firsthand? Did you hear about them second hand from your contacts?

Are you another one of these people who thinks propaganda is limited to Bad Country, therefore Our Noble Liberal Democracy could never do such a thing? Do you understand that propaganda could be true or false, and is usually a mix of both?

Here’s some fun examples for posterity:

• Have your trusted media sources ever told you about the brutality of the feudal slave society in Tibet before Mao liberated it?
• Have you even been to Xinjiang? A coalition of Muslim majority nations did and found no evidence of a genocide. It’s honestly laughable. What land are they being driven from and driven to? How can the population of Uyghurs continue to increase year after year while this genocide is supposedly happening? Did you know that all ethnic minorities in China (including Uyghurs) enjoy special privileges under their system?
• How do you think the militarized police in the United States would respond to a flood of agitators literally burning police alive? Do you think they would show the same restraint as the Chinese did?

Russia reestablished deterrence

The “many human rights violations” are part of the imperial propaganda that needs to be deprogrammed

Short version is EVERYTHING you have been told about Tibet, Xinjiang and Tiananmen is a thinly sourced lie propped up by Western intelligence.

If only all the parties had met for the third time in Istanbul to hammer out an agreement this war could have been prevented

Our hero is employing a one-handed melee weapon (vibrator)

Since life is a video game, they were notified their melee skill increased

You criticize capitalism, yet you work to survive. Curious!

It’s quite simple really. Just ignore every single human characteristic, motive and drive except greed. Then, wave a magic wand and assume perfect rationality.

THIS IS IRONCLAD PROOF OF THE SUPERIORITY OF FREE MARKETS

It’s a Lemmy rite of passage to get burned by LW “moderation”

Now the song is going to be stuck in my head all day
