  • This is prime example of my point.

    Just so you know, we like communists (mostly, we are communists), we’re generally OK with socialists

    Your statement reveals you have no knowledge of the subject or ideals you claim to believe in. Communism is a process in which to establish a Socialist utopia. It was conceived by Marx based on the Machiavellian quote “The ends justify the means.” and was laid out in the Communist Manifesto. It is a militant process in which to implement SOCIALISM by force. I am guessing you are a fan of how things worked out in China?



  • They simultaneously love and hate communists, socialists, fascists, “the left”, “The FAR Left”, nationalist, and liberals. While simultaneously seeming to not know what any of those things actually are. They do seem to be steadfast in their unity as far as using America as a scapegoat for all the worlds problems including all of Americas problems as though all of America is a single entity running the world both with ruthless efficiency and complete incompetence at the same time.







  • lol well if you knew your history you would know they tried and failed. The PLA lost at the battle of Guningtou which effectively halted their advance towards Taiwan. Then the Korean War started and completely changed their priorities for years to come. Ever since then it’s been a back and forth arms race of Taiwan’s ROC maintaining a sufficient military readiness up to around 1980 as to deter China from taking action. Then the US got heavily involved and Taiwan became a center for semi conductor manufacture. It became a critical partner for countries around the world because of this and this bolstered the ROC’s access to advanced western military equipment and help from nations dependent on Taiwanese industry also China itself became a major trade partner with Taiwan(bizarre right?). But the new CCP and PLA leadership of today are not like their counterparts of the past. Pooh Bear is a true despot who really wants the one China dream and cares little for the people. He has expressed real interest in aggression regardless of cost and needs a distraction to economic woes. Much like his Slavic counterpart’s dream of reuniting the USSR pooh also has the One China bug hence actions taken in Hong Kong. He would have been all to happy to conduct and all out invasion and there was real evidence he planned to do so; However, the Ukrainian response I believe took them by surprise and Taiwan is much better prepared to repel an attack than Ukraine was.





  • well the right thinks anything that makes you not exactly like them is a crime. Including thinking and having different opinions and ideas. Therefore they do adhere?

    I think you might be leaning towards the paradox of intolerance and the recent solution for it which has become very popular.

    A tolerant society must be intolerant of intolerance.

    This philosophical concept seems paradoxical but actually it’s been solved via another philosophical concept. The social contract. Hate speech in almost every instance violates the social contract thus putting those who engage in it in violation of the social contract. It is not being intolerant at that juncture to remove that person from society. It is not intolerance but a violation of contractual obligation.







  • What I find hilarious about this report is that they point out differences between Islamist terror groups and right wing terror groups that aren’t differences just different stages. I dealt with this professionally and all those Islamist groups started out exactly like the right wing groups. They found support from imams who generally aligned with their ideology. The imams would have funding through charity organizations run through the mosques. They would begin funding people within the mosque that were interested in this type of activism. It didn’t start with suicide bombings right out the gate it progressed fairly naturally and fundamentalist activist found funding through fundamentalist mosques and Islamic charities then nation states found they could donate to these charities and escalate matters in foreign adversaries domestically. This is not only identical to Islamic terrorism its following the exact same path to a potential Daesh being born in these countries. I already foresee the potential for christian evangelist to attempt to create a caliphate. Literally Hyung Jin Moon is attempting this right now with the Gun Church.

    EDIT: Whats interesting as well is earlier western action massively escalated those groups and radicalized them further. It will be interesting to see if anyone in power learned a damn thing from our past mistakes.

    I like to think of it in the sense that they are saying the children are being saved from this psychopath. Like “Can you believe this fuck procreated?”

    I’d like to make the community more focused on quality content. This means promoting posts that are well-written, informative, and thought-provoking. - what does this mean who is writing posts here?

    I’d like to make the community more welcoming to people from all walks of life. This means being more inclusive of people from different cultures, religions, and LGBTQ communities. - was it not before?
