Just got back from two week Beijing trip. Observations: 1. The 地铁 kicks rear end 2. In spite of being absolutely party controlled propaganda, their TV news was so much more informative and relevant that I physically gagged when I saw CNN in a US airport 3. In spite of how low wages are, they still automated employees away at McDonald's.

Malkina_ posted:I too believe theatlantic gives a bearded gently caress about the Uighurs in-between their op-eds telling americans how they deserve to die with no healthcare and the cops need more money There's a correct way to mass murder muslims, and it involves dropping hellfire missiles from 10,000 feet.

Rutibex posted:China spends about the same as the USA on policing 5x the population Well there's that, and the ability of the empowered to completely circumvent the legal processes that are supposed to project everyone equally. Good thing we don't have that problem here in the US. Yep. Sure is good.

But seriously, the right wing within the CCP is pushing for banning abortion and contraception until a woman's third kid. I don't think they have the influence to achieve that, unlike here.

Goast posted:hey pyf guys every single post you see demonizing china are the same assholes that convinced you the iraq war was a good idea just doing the same thing, again, almost two decades later This is the feeling I can't shake. "Look at these blurry satellite images, they're definitely secret prisons" rang very very very very familiar. I'm lib brained enough that I can't stand the idea of engaging in genocide denial. But damnit you can't be fooled again.

It also shows why communism can't work in the US, without a cultural revolution. Because someone screaming "I'm a party member" here would 100% of the time be Karening to speak to your manager

Feldegast42 posted:Ukraine has been apart of Russia for hundreds of years, why would I care if it reclaims it now (other than war sucks and is bad, but then why are we pushing for war over it) To be honest, being a conquered people has historically been very bad, humanistically. War is bad, but so too is the part after war where the victor takes from you until they've sated their greed. As an American, I know my own nation's greed is the only reason we've fought any wars for 80 years, so I'm against intervention on the basis of basic loving pattern recognition. But I do care about what Ukrainian people might suffer. Otoh, getting in a shooting war with Russia might wipe out humanity, so who can say if it's good or not
