Remember when Obama deported more people than Bush (or Trump), and bombed 8 countries, and then democrats won all elections forever because all the moderate republicans started voting democrat?
Dems can spill rivers of blood. Republicans will still win the hogs by promising to double it.
The glitch: Peaceful reunification, because even somehow winning a conflict against the world's largest economy, 100 miles off your coast, that has been preparing for this for half a century, is far, far worse than the alternative.
Then again, if Ukraine is anything to go by, we're gonna get some comprador gov't put a rifle in every man, woman, and child's hands, followed by the US bombing TSMC.
Helium is technically finite, but it's really a byproduct of natural gas extraction. Most natural gas operations don't bother to even harvest the helium.
Genocide is okay when it's entirely fictional.
Xinjiang doesn't even have travel restrictions for foreigners, you can literally just go there.
Also applies to 
Adding Trump/Santos 2024, campaigning from prison, to my bingo card.
Biden could safely:
-Send the military to blow up the child-drowning device across the Rio Grande
-Block discretionary federal funding to states passing anti-trans laws
-Allow civilians to get abortions in military healthcare facilities
-Appoint an AG who will throw all sorts of charges at republicans/manchin
-Burn student loan debt
-Appoint a DEA tsar who won't pursue the drug war, etc.
He could do all of this knowing the SCOTUS and congress will block or roll it all back.
He doesn't even pretend he wants what his constituents want.
This is why disabling downvotes is good. Make those cowards show themselves.
Racists who know enough not to talk openly shouldn't be able to passively influence discussion either.
downvotes
Must have been from another instance. We can only upvote.
Hexbear removed downvotes because some transphobes were using sock accounts to manipulate votes and create a hostile environment for our trans comrades. This has the added effect of encouraging people comment if they disagree rather than silently downvoting. In the short term, it makes threads as chaotic as this one, but in the long term, everyone gets a more nuanced understanding of the issue even if they don't come to an agreement.
This is the kind of thing I really hate to see. It's the reason I'm going to be leaving
I'm sorry. I do hope you come around to at least tolerating leftist perspectives before you leave for an echo chamber. That all wealth is created by labor is one of the core leftist beliefs, you'll find anarchists, communists, democratic socialists, etc all agree on that.
where are you expecting people to live?
In houses. There's dozens of vacant homes for every homeless person. Just as capitalism requires some people be hungry to maximize profit of food, it requires some people be homeless to maximize profit of landlords.
These homes are owned by someone- they worked/paid/built them themselves.
The people who build houses deserve to be compensated for their labor. Owning a house on the other hand, is not labor.
Why do you think these people who have toiled for 40+years should just give you there invested money/work for free?
Rent isn't compensation for the construction of a home, otherwise the renter would own the home after 20 years of renting paid off the mortgage.
Why are they evil for using something they have worked for to help themselves?
I'd categorize the parasitic relationship as evil, but as for judging individual people for the poverty and homelessness caused by that relationship, it's more complicated as we live under capitalism.
Inevitably someone like you comes along and just shitposts this same rhetoric you just did with no logical backing behind it other than "evil landlords must die and be redistributed"
Are you talking about the description of the cultural revolution in that one province in China people post? In the context of generations of peasants seeing their children die of starvation-related disease or conscripted never to return, the people were more merciful and practical than just. It's easy to criticize any change if you ignore the violence of the status quo. To quote Mark Twain:
THERE were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.
How is a house different from a farm? Or a rail system? Or a insert anything created by someone and used for personal gain?
It's not.
He's saying that you've never verified anything you've seen from western news on this subject, but you know they promote incomplete or outright false views in similar circumstances, so why would you uncritically accept their views on China?
"I know what the news tells me about China is true because it's in the news all the time" is a really funny response ngl.
Butterflies are more important than fresh parsley. Got some clones going so I'll have enough for everyone next year.
This little guy is always chilling with my bananas.
There's also some hornets that keep the slugs/caterpillars at bay but they're less cute.
I almost forgot that it was A DEBATE. IT WAS A DEBATE. hahah A DEBATE.
