If the right-wing media ecosystem was a CIA conspiracy then I could see that... But really that's just a conspiracy amongst capitalists.

Sure, and that's why I don't bother telling people their voting tactics are wrong.

I don't think that's the criticism, rather we fixing the problem at the wrong end of things. We can't fix society by stressing personal responsibility, we need a different tactic.

Someone get Paula Deen to be the POTUS chef and we can hurry the natural causes.

Thx Chuck Schumer!

In light of the recent news of the DNC report, which of those options is willing to call what's happening in Gaza a genocide? Buttigieg is a great communicator, but it won't matter if the message is Republican light.

If it's a competition of getting rich people then you're guaranteed to loose.

So like I understand why the right doesn't learn the right lessons; they're misinformed. But you're presented with an example of a failure of leadership to read the room and the lesson is fuck Gaza? What's your excuse?

Nah, just think people who are ignorant of their own laws should think more before they make their ignorance more widely known.

International law is what the CCP claims gives them the right. So no, I am not implying, I am stating it is relevant. Even if you disagree with the law, how do you expect this to be resolved peacefully without international law?

I mean wasn't it largely peaceful in the past? From China's perspective they only need to act if Taiwan or other countries make public statements challenging their legal claim to the island, it is better for China to wait as the power dynamics are shifting in their favor. It is only the west that wants to force this issue to come to head now, while they still have a comparative advantage - but even now if China wants Taiwan there is little we can do keep that from happening (though the humanitarian cost would be staggering and likely hurt their standing internationally).

Edit: I also don't see why mainland would suddenly pivot on the issue, there's seems very little reason to expect them to change course.
