Maybe because most countries are run in an at least semi democratic fashion? Unlike tech companies which only answer to shareholders countries, at least theoretically are answerable to their citizens. Countries for both…
I think it's fair to say that WW1 was an overblown response. All the background tension doesn't in any way make WW1 justified. I imagine the poster you are responding to thinks the same thing.
One one hand you are right. On the other hand state sponsored infrastructure projects are far less dramatically wrong than state sponsored coups. And the US has initiated lots of coups over the years, much more than…
I remember 2017 and yeah it was bad. I had the flu shot but still got the flu due to them targeting the wrong strains. :(
Ahh yes. Which is why the members of Hacker News were so into solidarity with the Yellow vesters. Ohh, wait its only when Chinese citizens protest that its good.
Glad your such a critic of US foreign policy. Didn't expect to meet someone like you on Hacker News.
Glad you have so much faith it is wrong! Stone the infidel! Capitalism is the one true faith!

Remember, this is hacker news. People here love ragging on China, despite the criticism relatively often being hypocritical.
I just have to object. Early science throughout the world came about because of religion, not despite it. Early Muslim proto scientists like Ibn Sina and Ibn Khaldun explicitly did their science through religion and…
Given that "state capitalist" or "socialism with Chinese characteristics" is the way that the members of the party describe China's economic system I think the economic system probably is "state capitalism" after all.…
The US's coup in Chile was done precisely to protect US business interests. That's why large companies like Anaconda were so heavily involved in the coup. The thing that all those incidents share in common is that they…
The US has started wars to protect foreign investment. The history of Latin America comes to mind. Some examples would be Allende, the bay of pigs invasion and Nicaraguan Contras. The fact that the US hasn't retaliated…
So it's like the US.
The fact that people like the idea of revenge and getting back at their attackers? The fact that corruption is rarely a serious problem as long as a justice system functions relatively ok? Because some parts of America…
Because often it's not that hard for the employee to take credit for someone else's results or just fake them. It also creates a poor set of incentives. It causes problems like when programmers are given a bonus for…
Why?
The one thing i really need before i switch to firefox is vivaldi style stackable tabs. Does anyone know if there is any way to get stackable tabs in firefox?
Because the corporate media typically talks about human rights abuses in Venezuela only.
Except when they are manipulating the market or defaming someone.
Can you give some examples? I'm curious.
Please at least try to contribute to the discussion.
What are you talking about? Latin America and Africa have had non stop foreign intervention since the 16th century. Rich angry neighbours / foreign interventions have always created huge amounts of corruption and…
What do you mean horrendous war reparations? Germany remained independent, lost barely any territory and were allowed to delay paying war reparations. Germany's other allies were far worse of losing far more territory…
Correct me if i'm wrong but wasn't there more then enough food, he just wanted to send it over to England?
