US riots will always be localized or at least treated as such by the media, and thus isolated from the rest of the country. It’ll just be more city riots that further divide both sides, giving one justification for cracking down on the other

As in, it is perpetually 4:20 PM on the moon?

That’s why they play a whole different game than us. He isn’t worried about paying back that interest or loan, he’s trying to find a way to make that $2m pay him back 1% or more per interest period. They never have to consider the loan amount, because those interest and payments will be done in 10 years while the profits from that loan will explode into hundreds of millions.

See? Anyone can do it, it’s honestly really fucking easy to come up with a million dollar idea. The hard part is that first couple million dollars. If you aren’t born with it, you will literally never have access to that type of wealth.

Why does Xi think he gets any say? He’s showing his full hand already, and it’s actually pathetic. Already saying that it will have to be taken by force. So he’s admitting that the people of Taiwan, if given a choice, may not choose to join China. Let’s give everyone a vote guaranteed by international overwatch, none of those mainland representatives.

This is just another dictator having a whiny shitstorm threatening to take territory by force just because they want their historical empire.

There’s some real vitriol packed up in this comment. Try not to take it out on the cashiers :)

You’re so quick to label everyone a this and that while claiming you also know what they support and why that makes sense and what wouldn’t.

All that to say you are so full of shit that it is spilling out of your mouth. Accusing people of supporting genocide when you have no fucking clue who they are, what they do, who they know, where they are, ANYTHING, is a horrible way to generate discussion. But it works great to get engagement, so I guess you won.

Oh hey, I just spotted another one!

Listen to yourself. You’re demonizing an entire group of people and making very broad assumptions based on your own fear, not reality.

You think Biden wouldn’t be treated with the same scrutiny? Based on what? He’s already changing his views and tactics on Gaza now, just today Biden called for a cease fire. Because that’s what politicians do, they listen to their people. In your fantasy where Biden suddenly does the opposite and nukes Gaza, I would be among the first to protest for his immediate arrest and removal from office.

You’re so hellbent on showing how divisive the country is, that you’re actually helping grow that divide. Let’s both learn from this.

No wonder data breaches are a when and not if…

I personally know of a few factory workers that are proudly working their normal 12 hour shift today. They just love selling their mind and body for scraps.

And you are acting in bad faith. You set up a straw man argument so you can bash people for whatever their choice is. If you really meant to have actual discussion, you would. Instead you spout right-wing bullshit about “Biden bad boohoo”

You say he is the genocidal one, while he is actively being pushed to change his ways and taking responsibility while correcting the behavior. Slowly but surely. As opposed to the other side, which literally just wants to drop a nuke on the situation.

When people call you a bad-faith actor, it’s because you’re acting in bad faith.

We do! Ants have been involved in millions of experiments, and that is how we know so much of their society and entomology. We CAN communicate with them using pheromones and food sources. It’s actually quite simple, really. They just don’t have much to say beyond what we observe. It’s not like we suddenly start seeing unique chemical trails so they can communicate with their overlords, so I suppose they don’t perceive us as other beings in the world.
