Thanks for restating what OP said.
Do they? Are you sure the high management knows who is a rapist or not? If so, I would like to see some evidence.
I have to disagree on fascism being this insidious bogeyman. While I agree that they ought to be fought against, IMO this is reaching into red scare territory (which is fitting, given that both share a really close…
I didn't know the Catholic Church was raping children, rather than specific priests. ...unless you also like saying humanity likes attacking children because rapists exist.
1) fair enough, I was focusing on the original post; 2) disagree, the bar might be a pretty public place, so being allowed in is just the default; or they might have been personally allowed in, but is treated as the…
That presumes: 1) that said bar knows everyone's political mindset, including those which haven't been made public; 2) that said bar actually treats said Nazi with decency; 3) most communists hold the belief that there…
Apply it to reality, and things get muddy really quickly. The major issue is the "private ownership of the means of production". While some argue it's a recent development, others (like me) argue it has been present…
Fair enough, but wishing for an independent agency without creating its own government branch is still foolish.
The problem is defining what is the system.
Having a Nazi in a bar doesn't make it Nazi bar. It creates a tendency to become a Nazi bar, which can be counteracted by other forces. If that logic held water, having a communist in a bar would make it a communist…
Creating an executive agency to investigate the executive would be pretty stupid. It'll likely lead to "we've investigated ourselves and found nothing", even if the president wasn't vested in all executive power.…
Reminder that complaining about the PRC's governance isn't Sinophobia anymore than complaing about Putin is Russophobia.
> Just because i call them collectively KGB - since the essence is precisely that - you "call bullshit on my argument"? Yes, because it means you don't have a good idea of the claims being presented. Perhaps there's a…
Now try doing that in mainland China. Ask yourself why there isn't a strong active anarchist presence in the PRC despite their population in comparison to the US. If the actions you do actually are enough to cause the…
> I dont care much about their acronyms or the organizational structure So I call bullshit on your point. > dont doubt for a single moment, and I dont think you should, that you are right there in their database, with…
"my"? I'm not even american. "american KGB"? pray tell, who would that be? FBI? NSA? ICE? Even with their tooling, they are still struggling to legally acquire information, and even more so to act on it. There's even…
Another piece of interesting trivia: PRC can legally confiscate and search your devices without warrant nor case.
> Our world in data is neoliberal think tank How so?
Control.
I don't have the way to fix the situation, for I am no seer, but I can suggest the classical solutions: - Contact your representatives; - Seek better representation; - Participate in/organize local political movements;…
An argument against vesting pardons to the SC is that they are supposed to simply apply the law, not make quick corrections based on value judgments. If separation of powers is a concern, remember that checks and…
PRC does actually allow different political parties: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_political_parties_in_C... They, however, need to be approved by the CCP, so this multi party system is only de jure.
Congressional oversight doesn't mean much here, since the CCP also serves that role. The real problem is that, even though US is, in practice, a de-facto two-party between democrats and republicans, the PRC is a…
I thinking OP is worried about China exporting its political influence outside. In China, the Ministry for State Security has the legal authority to seize and investigate your devices without warrant nor active case,…
You have to remember that a lot of that a quarter of that extreme poverty was inflicted by the CCP itself [1]. It's not as hard to lift off people from misery you caused. Specially so after most of the wealth and…
