The sins of the father

I think it's 50-50, because the Chinese l sound is pronounced with the tongue in the position somewhere between the Latin r and l sounds. So it's just as likely to be heard as a "wrong" L or a "wrong" R.
The fun part is that the tropes stick to our own way of pronouncing the letter (r becomes l or vice versa) instead of attempting to pronounce the Chinese sound correctly...

"Being really well dressed and using style to win people over is in the fascist playbook as well. Therefore drag queens are fascist."

Don't worry though! We've got this new idea, it's called (not) Austerity! And there's enough of that to go around for everyone! We've got buckets of (not) Austerity! You can feed your family with (not) Austerity! It's never worked in the past because it's never been tried before!

I think this is beyond corruption, I think this is full on authoritarianism. Which is worse. Way worse.

Another nail in the coffin of the Geneva Conventions.
Growing up I always thought the highest laws in the world would be the hardest to break. I felt protected. But these last ten years or so I've seen how toothless they really are, and I feel exposed. Universal Human Rights aren't worth the paper they were written on.
