Well, I did put and/or.
You could do what I do: like the country, hate the ruling class, because they both suck. America just tries to hide it, whereas China lets everyone know.
Man, people really think China's 1984 and not "Russia with firewalls and biased mods" don't they...
Gee, that sounds familiar...

The last time the Chinese were allowed to have guns, they had the... Taiping Rebellion...
Then who trashes the US out of the equation?Quote:
How about the PRC collapses and Taiwan, Japan, and/or India fill the power vacuum?
Yes, they need to go to. The last thing we need is American unipolarity. It was bad for the 15 years after 1991 and it would be bad now.
Well, increasing shamelessness leads to instant sunshine. You're missing the fact: you do not declare war on nuclear states, unless you have a death wish.Quote:
One that was promised autonomy when the previous occupiers left. One should absolutely be shameless when dealing with communist China. Remember what happened when the US was shamed into giving up control of ICANN?
I am starting to wonder what would happen if Taiwan said "yes, we will fold back into the PRC" but other than changing their passport emblems, did everything as usual, down to having their own military shielding them, as a "failsafe" if the mainland does not honor OCTS.
The mental gymnastics are going to be hilarious.
Also, this makes me wonder how Macau is getting by and HK isn't...
1. Again, I'm not really feeling the effects of Russian censorship internationally. I am feeling the effects of Chinese censorship internationally, and that's the main problem.
2. Well, that's one way to interpret my words. Another is to reduce guns in the US. Answer is actually neither. One cannot compare law enforcement in the US vs. law enforcement in China because of different civilian gun laws, which bleed into police weapon guidelines, which affect what counts as cop vs. what counts as soldier.
3. I literally made 2 or 3 suggestions there. You know, ones that aren't dictatorships.
4. Hitler must deeply regret causing the Holocaust. Before perfecting nukes, then.
5. China and Taiwan trolling each other is one thing, but doing what you suggested might result in ignorant foreigners' misinterpreting that as Taiwan's submission. The complexity of this relationship is already difficult for foreigners to fathom. No need to strain their brains more.
Looks like Trump went ahead and pardoned Roger Stone. I'm actually surprised it took this long.
Like with the Jews in Germany, I'm pretty sure that ignoring them would be a better alternative than putting them in concentration camps:

It depends. Do you feel yourself superior to Humanity as a whole as to decree they must be fucked?
Or do you feel you are equal or worse than Humanity's average, being also part of it and all that? Are you willing to let yourself and your loved ones be fucked too in the proccess for the sake of fairness?

The only thing "problematic" here is my inconvenience to get this stuff and the revenue loss of the creators. Time for alternate vendors to get some sale revenue, then. Otherwise [insert pirate noises here] though I still want the creators themselves to be compensated, regardless of vendor. I would rather be problematic to the world than let the world be problematic to me.
If that keeps up, it's going to have a chilling effect on the industry. Which might be the point with all the Chinese webtoons out there. Anime has proven to have a surprisingly strong influence on culture outside of Japan, especially as an entry point for ideas... Using it as a vehicle for the CCP's ideological viewpoint might be an effective long-term strategy, of a somewhat unorthodox one.

Actually, you're already on a warning, so I'll throw in a vacation as well.
I wonder if when he gets back he's just going to dump days worth of tweets and video game philosophy youtubes at once?
