What did the NYPD do that wasn't reactionary enough

Is this about Trump getting arrested, or like did they forget to strangle someone for selling cigarettes

None of the above. Police raided, and have now conducted arrests and charges tied to an office in New York that's one part of what is apparently a globe-spanning network of Chinese state police entities used to surveil, harass and intimidate dissidents, expats, and their families, as well as subvert social media companies from within. Quoted posts quote related articles and charges at the original linked locations.

Discendo Vox posted:

F.B.I. Arrests Two on Charges Tied to Chinese Police Outpost in New York
Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn charged the men with conspiring with the People’s Republic of China and destroying evidence in connection with a Chinese police outpost in Lower Manhattan.

The org's actually referred to as America ChangLe Association, and it was raided in January. All their online materials are already scrubbed. Major initial coverage was a December 2022 report by the Spain-located org Safeguard Defenders, who I can't immediately find enough information about but who may be a proxy for Falun Gong. These outposts are very straightforwardly clandestine international military/intelligence offices and a disturbing problem, despite the fact that the main source of attention has often been the right wing press for various lovely reasons.

Discendo Vox posted:

Relating to the earlier arrests in New York, DoJ has announced charges against another 40 or so individuals in the Chinese state police and Cyberspace Administration for coordinated campaigns to harass, repress, sabotage and target dissidents, as well as subvert social media platforms and recruit unwitting proxies. This, too, builds upon earlier investigations.

The other complaint, United States v. Yunpeng Bai, et al., basically points to an entire troll farm operation targeting dissidents specifically and including threat and harassment campaigns.

Especially since Budweiser did some nonpology bullshit about not wanting to be divisive or whatever. I'm not transcribing their Solemn JPG, you can read that twaddle yourself if you give a poo poo.

It frustrates the hell out of me because, in addition to being evil, it's downright loving stupid. The message they're angling for is uncharitably but not inaccurately summarized as "hey, sorry our rainbow capitalism offended you bigots, we still cool?" And nobody's going to be happy with it, because people who aren't giant bigots are going to see that you walked back your money-fueled attempt at decency, and bigots will never accept your apology.

Just tell the bigots "trans rights are human rights, and if you don't like it you can have a tall can of Bofa, BOFA DEEZ NUTS" and be done with it. Support motivated by crass commercialism is still support.

I could talk about how rainbow capitalism is, while not good, at least an indicator of good things, because it's a sign that cash-chasing vultures know which way the wind is blowing and it's blowing towards inclusion, but they keep walking it back. I suspect that their walkback is related to the fact that Anheuser-Busch is a major Republican donor and they're getting a little angry over the fact that the culture war monster is now thoroughly out of the party's control, but it's a little bit late to try and stuff that particular genie back in the bottle.

Jews are not immune to falling into the traps of antisemitism we like to pretend only the goyim are. To Ben Shapiro and Krischen it's the cultural Jews, to Marx it was a certain kind Jewery too.

I don't care to dig it up but I saw in the wild a twitter conversation the other day that basically went:
:byodood: "First trans people wanted tolerance... but that wasn't enough! Then they wanted acceptance, and then equality, and now they want special privileges!"
:raise: "But you, yourself, never tolerated them. You never even gave them the first step.
:byodood: "Of course I didn't! They're [you can fill in the blanks here]!"

Like just constantly complaining about more and more demands while never having given even the most basic consideration to begin with. "I've never budged on anything, surely that should be enough concessions for you by now!"

Even in the UK the national music store chain that made us all know it from their logo has been getting more obscure recently, what with amazon and itunes and spotify etc slowly killing it. I imagine political cartoonists will still use it until 2090 given their usual time range of references, though. Or the AI trained on Mac drawings in use by then, which will also be Prime Minister
