He extolled the CCP’s support for Tibetan Buddhism, and no wonder: Locals told me that the monastery, Yangteng Gonpa, had received substantial government funding. A freshly paved road snaked up the mountainside on which the monastery was perched, ending at a parking lot built to accommodate hundreds of visitors. A new welcome gate was being erected, and the tourism office promoted Yangteng as one of the area’s main attractions. During the cold war, the anticommunist ideological framework could transform any data about existing communist societies into hostile evidence. If the Soviets refused to negotiate a point, they were intransigent and belligerent; if they appeared willing to make concessions, this was but a skillful ploy to put us off our guard. By opposing arms limitations, they would have demonstrated their aggressive intent; but when in fact they supported most armament treaties, it was because they were mendacious and manipulative. If the churches in the USSR were empty, this demonstrated that religion was suppressed; but if the churches were full, this meant the people were rejecting the regime's atheistic ideology...

Bot 02 posted:I'm going to China this summer, very anxious to find out how difficult it will be to find vegan food if you're in major cities it isn't too bad. if you're looking for explicitly vegan food you'll probably pay more (for the same lifestyle reasons as elsewhere), but incidental vegan food is easier assuming you can confirm that dishes don't use animal products https://www.happycow.net/asia/china/ supposedly 5% of the country is vegan or vegetarian (which translates into 60M people, lol)

Yeah, I'm planning to do quite a bit of research on Happycow beforehand to get a good overview of what options are available. Fun fact: because of China's map obfuscation, the map markers shown in Happycow are wrong. You have to open the map in Google Maps to see where the restaurant actually is.

Old time blog, don't think it was directly Daily Kos. Bilmon, something? Whiskeybar? Been around for ages. I think the main guy is some German former artillery dude. Not a monarchist, as far as I remember. It was, I think, the first place I saw making the case that Georgia initiated the Georgian war while it was ongoing. Haven't really followed it in years.

Also, I guess MoA never got into Marxism or any more formal method of economic critique so they can get weird at times and also b has, or had, a weird habit of confidently stating his conjectures as fact, which always rubbed me wrong.

also its like not like chinese people are eating crazy american amounts of meat, its often chopped up and mixed with veggies because while its cheap its not that cheap really the main issue is that egg is in a lot of things if you can stomach it
