China has literally a fascist government. Authoritarians that seize corporate control for nationalistic interests while still deferring to original private property owners.

Cult of leadership is typical too. Which includes the satisfaction of citizens.

Makes me laugh when people here laud China. Especially when they're commies who fell for the lie that China is communism.

    Surgeons kill dozens of people, hundreds if they work hard enough in their lives. I don't kill people, therefore they're evil while I'm not, thus fantasizing about torturing them is okay. This is effectively your logic.

    You either have the mental maturity of a 12 year old, or need to take your meds.

    ITT: people supporting torture and violence against tech entrepreneurs because of post-hoc political justifications.

    These comments are operating under the hypothetical premise that it is literally a human consciousness. They're essentially describing what they want to do to people if there were no legal consequences. It's very revealing in many ways.

    It's like the mentality of a terrorist breeding ground here. Yikes.

    Trump meets with Putin and is nice to him: "Trump is Putin's bitch, look at him!"

    Mamdani meets with Trump and stands at his desk like an obedient puppy: "Wow, our hero really charmed him with his immense rizz! Trump's a coward!"

    Politics is so braindead. ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

    I don't know if this is some sort of joke, but that's not an agreement. That's Trump not wanting a convoluted political beating around the bush, which is what Mamdani was about to do. Such a response would feed the media, but just saying yes and Trump shrugging it off sabotages the media's obvious attempt of pitting them against each other.

    There's no way you people would think she's racist if she wasn't transphobic.

    She was very accepting of Hermione being cast as a black girl. Seamus was just used as comedic relief in the movies, much moreso than in the books, with his magical mistakes causing explosions being primarily when he was a kid. He was loyal and high achieving character.

    Meanwhile, the blonde character who uses the offense slur "mudblood" is the childhood villain for most the books. Yet she is racist for this somehow too, I imagine.

    I agree.

    But being attracted to someone is distinct from having a sexual relationship with them. I can be attracted to a married person, a mentally ill or incompetent person, or even a minor. It's not necessarily wrong unless I engage with them.
