In the US too, senators get paid ~190k/year and continually throw their constituents under the bus for campaign contributions of just a few hundred to a few thousand dollars from lobbyists

The fact of owning a gun isn’t a 2nd amendment issue as your comment would imply… The government coming to take that gun in some way? Second amendment issue. Government tries to impede your purchase of that gun? 2nd amendment issue.
Whether or not the Chinese student didn’t like what she was saying has nothing to do with it being about or not being about freedom of speech.
Apply any and there will be martyrs spurring further violence* FTFY
Thanks for informing me! I was inspired to go browse the Wikipedia article on Kosovo and learn more.
Fr tho some American Leftists ahem…Chomsky will outright deny the Kosavan genocide in my opinion because of the disregard for Slavic life that you mentioned.
The brown people of Europe in a way
This is total bullshit. This is a problem we face because of shitty zoning laws and capitalism, not population. Besides that, UN projections indicate population topping off at 15 billion before pulling back and eventually reaching replacement rate around 12 billion. Without any technological advancement, and only advancement of logistics and society, the earth has plenty of space to feed and house that many humans.
I can almost guarantee you much prefer civilization to the natural state. It’s nice not having to find your next meal, often going days or even weeks at a time without eating, right? That’s just one of many ways that civilization makes your life better than without.
Til being a low level bureaucrat or military member is unheard of and absolutely never talked about online.
That’s the trick of the GOP… literally all they do is obstruct and destroy any sort of progress the Democrats do end up making lol.
It’s not like China has any intention of lifting the counter tariffs they put in place, especially with tensions rising over Taiwan, so there’s almost no reason for the biden admin to have done this.
Yeah but the use case of patriot missiles is not shooting down rc quadcopters so this whole line of argumentation is just kinda useless
This was actually an argument used in the criminal defense of some of the capitol rioters lol
If you’re nodding at the concept of overpopulation that’s not really a “problem” as we’re expected to top out around 15 billion as the rest of the world develops and then replacement rate is expected around 12 bil as things level back out from an earlier peak iirc.
Just got banned from .ml for providing links of China’s wrongdoings lmaooo

That sounds more like lemmygrad to me but wouldn’t be surprised tbh. Not a single one of them on that instance is interested in facts or debate, just their little circlejerk. They’ll hit puberty one day tho.
.ml has interesting discussion sometimes and other times just turns into a total circlejerk ime
What say you about the reeducation camps and social credit score and restriction of travel? What say you about the imprisonment of Xi’s political opponents? My heart goes out to the Chines people, but the Chinese state must go.
Open your eyes.
You would have a field day with the comment section for this article on Lemmy.ml lol. I’d love to see someone with more energy than me try to fight some of the idiocy going on over there.

The joke relied on the fact that China isn’t a democracy not because they don’t have primaries but because they have a “president for life” (otherwise known as a dictator) and their elections are largely ornamental and orchestrated by the CCP.
