China exerts extreme control over businesses that operate from there. That's a simple fact. This individuals motivations aren't extremely relevant.

Might their motivations be alarmist? Perhaps. Might they be protectionist? There's a very good chance. Xenophobic and bigoted. Knowing human nature the odds are good. How does any of that change the fact that the Chinese government has tight controls over all businesses within their border? Again that is a simple fact. And makes this concern not unwarranted. Let's phrase it this way. Would you be defending a US state-controlled organization from doing similar in China? I doubt it.

That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works. They absolutely have every right to and often are right to. That doesn't mean they're not hypocritical at times. But just because someone is hypocritical doesn't mean they're wrong.

Unless they are a campist trying to deflect critique with a but somebody else might be worse claim.

Most people who regularly, openly identity as Libertarian aren't.

Reminder, that we know of. China doesn't really publish the numbers in any verifiable form. Nor are there any third parties really able to audit it.

Further even if what you say is true it doesn't make what China is doing right.

SLAPP suits aren't about wrong or right. They are about intimidation only. And John is going to kick their ass and make them look like fools in the process

I think Neison could do it. But if those are good gags etc. The writers need to be taken out back and shot. That was just awful. Outside the nordberg bit. I will admit. I did get a small chuckle on the OJ diss.

New single release from a long time favorite! A fun cover of Screaming Jay Hawkins - I Put a Spell on You

 

Just found out @[email protected] is on mastodon. For those of you unfamiliar or uninitiated think Dead Milkmen.

He does a great show every Friday on ynot radio. Plenty of goth darkwave and Industrial on tap. It's been over a year since I listened last. Just life and everything else getting in the way. But I will definitely be tuning in this Friday and I hope a few of you will as well.

 

KMFDM always has a way with hooks and lyrics.

On the prowl for skin and bone to tear I'm a skeleton looking for meat to wear The abject gift, eternity Making death a victory

The sum of human wretchedness Enter the arena Laughing all the way through the night I am hyena

A good new mellow album released by Korine. They definitely have a vibe like "the cure" while still being their own thing.

It may not be Sunday anymore but is it too late for a little church?

 

Anyone up for a Gothic pop punk sing along? I can't help myself any time a Creature Feature track comes up. Buried alive, aim for the head, Greatest Show on Unearthed. They are all earworms that you can't help but mindlessly sing along to.

 

A favorite song from the cure. Though there are so many good ones. But damn does this make me feel old. Lol several years older than this song.

 

Something to kick Friday off with a stomp.
