Ignore 'em. No reason to go to cspam ever. I'm trying to step down how much attention I pay to tankies. There's no point, they can't be convinced, nobody from the outside can do anything to force China to stop wiping out its minority populations, it's just winding me up for no benefit. Being mad on the internet isn't going to get my friends out of the concentration camps or save others from being disappeared. People want to post about how hard they get at the CCP's final solution to the minzu problem, that's their personal psychosis. It doesn't change anything.

It's a bird, it's a plane, no wait, it's a 21 ton Long March rocket falling on your house. https://www.yahoo.com/news/huge-rocket-chinas-space-station-180416640.html quote:"I think by current standards it's unacceptable to let it reenter uncontrolled," Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer who tracks objects orbiting Earth, told Jones. "Since 1990 nothing over 10 tons has been deliberately left in orbit to reenter uncontrolled."

The B Variant essentially attaches the payload (in this case a Space Station) to the main core/sustainer.  Since there is no second/upper stage, there is also no RCS to make a controlled de-orbit with. So the whole thingy becomes a happy present after separation. You can track its current orbit here: http://stuffin.space/?intldes=2021-035B Dante80 fucked around with this message at 02:00 on May 2, 2021 |

some miserable cspammers invaded a thread for a podcast i listen to because they thought dunking on the host for fleecing over $400k out of corporate america was a good look. online leftists get it right that the world is hosed up largely because everyone is stupid but forget that includes them. speaking of podcasts, has anyone listened to that With Chinese Characteristics one that seems to have bought an ad on the forums? i'm gonna give it a shot.

We just had an infestation of genocide deniers in the D&D AusPol thread, which was a bit of a surprise. But it always falls into the same three  arguments1) USA bad, therefore China good. 2) If the government currently engaging in genocide says they're not engaging in genocide, shouldn't we believe them? After all, they should know, right? 3) C'mon! It's not literally genocide. It's sparkling ethnic cleansing.

There's the elephant in the room that getting real about what the chinese regime is doing in xinjiang forces them to look at, which is that the hammer and sickle is an obscenity like the swastika; a symbol of vicious evil, crimes against humanity, violent mass repression, horror, murder and genocide.

The dude in the Auspol thread who was a Genocide-denier was saying this also. This ignores all the testimony from Uighurs both in and out of China talking about relatives in the death camps. This ignores all the testimony from death-camp escapees. This ignores all the footage of the actual death camps themselves. This ignores the famous footage of kneeling, ziptied, Uighurs with bags on heads being forced onto trains. This ignores that every journalist, even the ones given the CCP friendly tours, that has ever come out of Xinjiang has said "something dodgy is happening there." This ignores the secrecy and defensiveness that the CCP officials do if Xinjiang is even obliquely mentioned. Especially when the "proof" that genocide is not happening so often comes down to "The Chinese sya it isn't happening, and I believe them. The US says it is and I don't believe them." I don't know who Adrian Zenz is, so I am happy to concede that he may well be a religious fundie with a hard on for hating communism. YAY for that. But it doesn't change the fact that Genocide is happening, and that Genocide is a bad thing that must at the very least be opposed.

when they stickied the literal genocide denial thread to "explain" what was going on it was a bunch of unhinged tankies dismissing the entire thing as western propaganda, and I saw someone basically stretch that logic all the way back to the 90s to state that anything negative you've heard in the western media about China has all been part of CIA/foreign imperialist attempts to hold China back.

I've asked this before in this thread, but it still bothers me. Why do we hear about the CCP crackdowns/oppression in Hong Kong, but not so much about Macau? Does Macau just bend over and take being under the thumb of the mainland? Is there a cultural difference? Are the CCP employing a softly softly approach so as not to disturb the Casino cash? I understand why China doesn't just annex it, (Macau has casinos, and the casinos are huge cash cows. So it is good for the CCP to have cash producing casinos, and places for Chinese people to gamble in "not really but still also kinda China"), but you'd think that they would have the same hard on for control that they do with Hong Kong. Sorry if this is a stupid question.

He's a kinda lenghty article about it from a while ago: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/18/world/asia/macau-china-hong-kong-protest.html "Macau today, like Hong Kong, is a political experiment that began in the late 1990s, when China reclaimed both territories from Western colonial powers and promised that civil liberties could coexist with its brand of authoritarian rule. Now, as Hong Kong’s political unrest continues, China’s ruling Communist Party has become increasingly explicit about how much it will tolerate under that formula — and holds Macau up as a shining example of obedience. “The most important thing is to implement and safeguard the central government’s full control,” Li Zhanshu, the third highest-ranking official in China, who presides over policy for both territories, said in a speech about Macau in Beijing this month. Compared to Hong Kong, Macau has more readily accepted Beijing’s ultimate authority on matters of national policy under the “one country, two systems” formula applied to both of them. And for the most part, the city’s 670,000 residents have gone along with it, either co-opted or coerced by the mainland. ... As we used to say, good boys get candy,” said Larry So Man-yum, a retired professor of social work at Macau Polytechnic Institute who is now a gambling addiction counselor. “Macau is a good boy.” ... In Macau, more than half of the population was born on the mainland; millions more come to gamble in the city’s casinos, making them a driver of the economy. Government buildings all fly the Chinese flag. Schools use the mainland’s textbooks. No one boos the Chinese national anthem, as protesters regularly do in Hong Kong. ... As Hong Kong has seethed, the authorities in Macau have stepped up efforts to quash any hint of dissent, fearing that their neighbor’s upheaval could spread. "

Less people and less financial clout. Macau is just a small town with an interesting past and a bunch of casinos. Hong Kong was a major international hub that could have easily been a full independent city-state like Singapore.

From what I've read and heard, Macau was pretty much still under a Salazar-like regime when the Carnation Revolution kicked off. The Portuguese wanted to immediately had over Macau but China asked them to wait and they really didn't change anything there outside of I think giving them some more civil liberties. China was obviously cool with this. The people who wanted to leave did easily, they were Portuguese citizens due to a rule that gave everyone born before 1982 citizenship and those that stayed essentially get UBI due to the funds raised by the gambling/money laundering.
