unironically everything you just said is correct.

You are brainwashed little redditor.

Damn Talos Worshipping Stormcloaks. The Empire was nice and lazy before they started leaving offerings for Talos on his grave.

Counter-point, Norway is almost exclusively EV at this point. EVs are fine in cold weather if you have a sensibly built society. At least they aren't worse than gas or Diesel.

Or I type quickly and am on a five day holiday celebrated (at least the first day) by the majority of the world? Don't tell me you actually work on May 1st.

People can be verbose without AI. Once upon a time you 'people' were smart enough to understand that. I'm replying from the inbox but I assume you believe — (Compose + - - -) means AI. Which is actually, unironically something that only someone with a sub 40 IQ could think.

I hope you get better soon, or at least stop letting your disease out in public.

Mass murder is not what's happening; but your world view is quite common and naive among young aspiring liberals wanting to ignore the violence inherent in your very existence.

You are not unique for wanting incremental peaceful changes. Everyone goes through that phase. Then you start reading history, and theory. Or worse, you actually try to put your ideals into practice and are met with violence that you don't realize your ideals cannot overcome.

If the world were sunshine and rainbows and not ruled over by pedophiles that literally eat children and flagrantly kill anyone who's a threat to their power your ideal would be great. Fantastic even. But your ideal is not one born of education or experience. It is born from the lack thereof.

In the real world, the one in which we live, the one in which you know someone (1 in 4 in the US) who has been a victim of Police Violence, the one in which you have met someone (1 in 3 globally) has been a victim of the US Military Industrial Empire, the one in which the leaders of the 'democratic peaceful free world' are literally all pedophiliac cannibals, the one in which literally every aspect of your privileged little life comes at the direct cost of a child in Africa or South America or India suffering, violence has to happen.

If we really want to delve into Theory, violence is inherent in the concept of society. Restraining someone is violence, it is a violent act. It is the least violent act that can be taken when they do not agree with your imposed social contract of sunshine and puppies, but it is still violence.

There is no possible way to get to a world without violence, without instituting a hive mind (i.e. eliminating society), Eugenics, or otherwise magically curing the human condition itself. Every possible society will have some violence, because there will always in any evolving society be those that go against what the current Social Contract is. Always. Sometimes for good, sometimes for evil, but there will never be a world where everyone is content — mainly because contentedness means stagnation and we are unlikely to ever be 'fully' socially evolved as to call for stagnation. There will always be better to strive for;

But that evolution cannot happen if those with the power and all the capability for violence intentionally stop progress because it hurts their personal progress towards being wealthy. It cannot happen if, with every breath and step we must keep handling those that are against the concept of society with kids' gloves and pretending they can ever change.

All current science points to the existence of those whom physically cannot understand empathy. They lack the parts of their brain that allow for that. And without empathy, there cannot be society, much less a violence-free society that you and every other real human so desperately wants.

Since Eugenics is bad, and since Mass Murder is bad; that leaves us with the current system — when those with this defect show they have no self control and abuse this defect of theirs to harm the rest of society, we put them down. Education cannot work; and they have nothing in their head stopping them from lying about being rehabilitated, and we have no such technology (and never should) to read minds and figure out if they're being honest. So the only safe route for all of us, all the real people with empathy to live, is for those that cannot even fake being one of us to die.

The alternative is human history, and one really doesn't need to look far in human history to understand why we cannot have repeat episodes.

Find a better solution to permanently disabling the power of a person who feels no shame or empathy and who has harmed, in most cases thousands to millions of people; then talk.

North Korea and their long range missiles could do the funniest thing in a month or so.

Not really, no. I fully advocate and participate in Mutual aid groups across the US, with a focus on helping homeless people find alternative solutions to state welfare (given the instability of the US state) and while I'm currently in China due to needing money and educated marxists to help plan and coordinate stateless networks, I still help out those that need help. I've done more for Americans than the entirety of the Clinton Family, simply because I haven't killed any of them; but also through actual direct action and muttal aid.

While I'm sure playing party politics makes you feel the warm fuzzies inside, and I'm sure you're really accomplished yourself in the humanitarian outreach sphere given your attitude, I would advise learning more about how the US actually works, and how people in other oppressed countries have actually survived and thrived during and post repression; and more importantly how revolutions are actually made and performed and who makes them possible.

Pretending that changing the genocidal oligarch in charge will make a significant difference this late into oligarchy's natural fall into fascism is just pure cope and fantasy from those that feel powerless and are too uneducated about any other alternative. It's like rearranging furniture during a house fire or drying off your car during a thunderstorm. It makes you feel like you're doing something, while at best you're merely changing the victims in hopes you will no longer be one.

Recognizing that not one political candidate in either major party (I'll give you 2026 bernie but not 2016 bernie, when he was still advocating for genocide) in the last hundred years has been on the side of the people is not 'apathy,' is a call to action to dig in locally and teach people how to build and maintain communities of trust so that when the next wave of 'Fuck you' from the government happens, and it will happen red or blue (just ask the people of Palestine, Ohio or Flint, Michigan or anywhere along the Keystone XL pipeline) we can survive long enough to actually maybe inspire local change. Then federal change regardless of if the oligarchy lets us or if they remove the vote or if they just rig the vote again.

The reason fascism and oligarchy spreads so easily is because we do not trust our community, and by extension the rest of our countrymen. You do not trust random people in oklahoma doing the right thing, just as they distrust you as a blue state ninny doing the right thing. You both want the exact same thing deep down, you just have wildly differently brainwashed ideas of how to get there. And electing a Blue Suit does not fix that problem. Reaching out to them does. Connecting and helping the most vulnerable does.

Psychopathy is rare on purpose, they kill those outside their circle. So statistically Willy G. Flicker in BFE, Louisiana that voted for Trump ten times is not a psychopath, he simply has been led to believe the Red Suit is the way to get oligarchs out of his life so he can focus on raising his family and working his job peacefully while having plenty of food on the table. Just like Gilly F.W. Licker in Portland believes Blue Suit is the way to get oligarchs out of their life so they can focus on raising their family (cats) and working their job peacefully while having plenty of food on the tablet.

Neither are correct. The colour of the suit does not matter. The policy does. And light oligarchy is not better for you or anyone than heavy oligarchy, it just changes who suffers the most.

Be the actual change that's needed, get your local community focused on helping each other -- without a leader involved. And if you're all together and realize that can work, then start including nearby communities. And hey, you could call this ideology something, maybe communityism.

...Tibet is a province in China and is openly talked about kiddo. Tibet was, for a period of about 40 years, under a brutal monarchy that had institutionalized child sex slavery. The Dalai Lama is a child sex advocate.

Tibet then did a civil war around the time of China's revolution, where the main party of the rebellion which I don't care to look up the name of because Tibetan is mostly nonsense words to me, requested help from the newly freed China. China obliged, with the caveat of Tibet returning to China instead of continuing on as an independent country. Which was greatly preferred during war time at least because, you know, they were spending all their military resources fighting the UK and US backed Tibetan child sex slave government.

After the war, like all provinces Tibet was poor, poorly integrated with the rest of China, and had little access to outside resources... until about the 1990s. Like the rest of China. Now Tibetan culture and language is mandatory for schools in Tibet (like Uyghur in Xinjiang and Mongolian in Inner Mongolia, also there's that weird muslim group in inner mongolia that actually has their own culture and language requirements in schools that I forget. And I mean weird as in, why did they become muslim that far north east, not that they're weird for being Muslim.) and Tibet, like Xinjiang, is seeing a golden age of modernization and resources being poured into it.

Because China realized after the East Tukistan terror attacks from Turkey and the US that you can't have home grown terrorism or dissidence if you just, give people the resources they need to live well and thrive.

...You spread a conspiracy theory not even supported by mainstream US outlets and people reacted badly?!

Jack Ma was not 'disappeared.' He was, in fact, brought up on charges that were later dismissed due to his cooperation. This was public news. Because Jack Ma attempted to bribe members of the CPC in order to gain political support for his incredibly unpopular and stupid idea of lessening safety regulations to bring Chinese markets closer to the 'freedom' of the US market.

His political movement failed, his bribery attempts were exposed, and unfortunately, he was not punished for them beyond having to issue an apology. Honestly it's a shame China didn't actually punish him like your conspiracy theory suggests, given the amount of damage he attempted to do to the Chinese economy and integrity of the People's congress.

If he did nothing then he'd be better.

Actively committing genocide is still actively committing genocide. Using all of Trump's built concentration camps is still just as bad as being the one building them.

He was more secretive and more discreet than Trump. That is how he was better. But Trump has done not a single thing the last 3 presidents have not also done.
