The joke is that these are the warriors that return from battle. Those that didnt make it likely died because they were stabbed in a spot those who returned weren't stabbed, but the engineers aren't all that smart and only design protection from the injuries they see.

Lol I tried all I got was how to report missing people to the FBI, lists of missing people unrelated to the gestapo, and articles about ice raids where the cops were in uniform.

This. The average American isn't uncomfortable enough to make a stand. They still have food, jobs, housing, schools, transportation. While the average American's needs are met, I doubt much will happen.

I lived there 10 years ago and it felt entirely different at the time. Chinese people were afraid to discuss certain topics in public, which was not the case in the USA at that time, but yes, times have changed and it is becoming increasingly similar in the US.

There are already a lot of reports.

This post is one report.

The claim is that there are lots of reports of this happening.

I know about the 2020 plainclothes, masked, secret police kidnappings, and I know of this one. Are there others, or was the "lots of reports" just made up?

Edit: grammar. removed a (hopefully) unnecessary comma

So, no?

If you make a claim, the burden of proof lies on you, not the other person to internet search for a mystery article.

Are you referring to the BLM protest arrests in 2020 or is there something current happening beyond this one instance?

I'm not saying this isn't bad, nor that it won't get worse, but if it's already worse, and you're making the claim that it is, I'd like to see some evidence of that.

They've been the testing ground for every stupid new fascist idea for a while now.

I think you're making a whole lot of assumptions here regarding arrangements between 3 people you have never met and weren't privy to.

I'm confused who is talking about scent?

 

An example of what I mean:

I, in China, told an English speaking Chinese friend I needed to stop off in the bathroom to "take a shit."

He looked appalled and after I asked why he had that look, he asked what I was going to do with someone's shit.

I had not laughed so hard in a while, and it totally makes sense.

I explained it was an expression for pooping, and he comes back with, "wouldn't that be giving a shit?"

I then got to explain that to give a shit means you care and I realized how fucked some of our expressions are.

What misunderstandings made you laugh?
