I mean… surely they have to make more than 250,000,000 in sales to justify the original bonus being 250,000,000 in the first place.

No?

Shitpost communities are fucking terrible because it’s either shitposts, which are like 50/50 on being good, or it’s a bunch of regular memes mixed with good shitposts that people upvoted.

I mean, at least it keeps it on the shit theme.

:3c

Laughing so fucking hard at this 😭

1. I mean. According to who?

2. So it sounds like they were being over policed and didn’t really personally know the extent of it because they weren’t deemed criminals and weren’t directly affected?

3. Okay cool.

4. I got that figure from someone defending China over it iirc so I’m guessing it’s accurate if you don’t know offhand.

5. Okay so they stopped it? Does that mean I’m supposed to go back to trusting the government? How do you square that?

Additionally: if a significant portion of the population was imprisoned, especially systematically by race, held against their will, and people were dying as a result of that, I would say that is the beginnings of a genocide. Just like how America is currently perpetuating Black genocide imo. Even if they didn’t fully commit or succeed, I can’t just go back to trusting that system.

How can 3 be anything more than effectively being labor camps? Can you personally or do you know someone personally that attests to whether they had a choice? Whether there were protections in place? Whether these were all fairly deemed “criminals”? What were their crimes? I think I saw someone use the figure 1million? There’s just no way that can be ethical, right?

Why don’t you take this opportunity to post evidence of common misconceptions for other readers? /gen

Maybe I’m coming around on China, it’s the only one of those I would disagree with. So try to dispel some of my opinions on the Ugyhur situation. I got banned from .ml last night so I didn’t get to finish my fun argument.

It’s funny how I’m not even talking about Hamas, which I don’t view as much of a state, and more of a militia operation? Ik they’re technically the elected government but?

I’m talking about large scale world governments specifically. I’m not condemning mostly powerless people struggling for their lives.

Edit: Hamas isn’t even on my mind because how much of a “power structure” are they? Not to sound insensitive but I assume their capabilities are extremely limited. Death to the IDF, death to nazis. :)

lol no you don’t get it! You’re just trying to distract from the atrocities of your country that I consider you to be complicit in! I’m not complicit in the atrocities of MY chosen state! lmfao

Edit: death to the IDF, death to nazis. I wasn’t referencing Hamas, they didn’t even cross my mind in this context.

I’ve heard that the longer you spent smoking before, the longer it takes for your body to readjust to the new happy chemical levels.

Maybe it’ll get better for you soon?

I don’t agree with him but ultimately YDI. He didn’t even ban you until you doubled down. Just go post in world lmfao. Or make your own sub. I think your post is fine. Maybe make use of the momentum of a ptb post to make your own comm? Otherwise this post is completely pointless. People have been railing against JordanLund’s moderation since I joined like over a year ago.

JordanLund is also a ptb. Both things can be true. Send the downvotes. Just stop whining and maybe do something productive like make your own comm, talkin’ about some “i’m gonna escalate this to the admins🤓☝️” shit is incredibly embarrassing lmao.

Edit: oh hey btw if any of the losers I was arguing with yesterday are wondering, I think I got banned for asserting there was a genocide in china, but idrk. Not terminally online enough to have alts to make my own comm and check stuff like that.

But for the person who was defending the mistreatment of the Ughyurs as “terrible but not genocide” and is “more like what America does to its POC”… that’s not a defense, and I’m willing to argue that we are indeed committing black genocide in America lmfao.

I can’t imagine being in the anarchist comms and being upset that world admins won’t do something about a community you can just not participate in. The whole point is making your own with blackjack and hookers. If everyone is so pissed about Jordan Lund then just make your own fucking comm so I don’t have to see another ptb post about the same shit.

Prosecution is the only path forward.

“ACAB except when they’re brutalizing the people I want to see brutalized.”

Probably because saying it’s not a genocide is literally just a tankie talking point that got turned into “uhmmm acskually theyre just doing all these humans rights abuses that result in cultural erasure, death, SA, etc. that’s not TECHNICALLY genocide, somehow”

I mean, are you saying that the forced assimilation, reeducation camps, forced labor, forced sterilization, etc isn’t a genocide?

Yeah, I think the protests are stupid now that I look at why it happened.

That being said, I still can’t trust you, it’s so hard to get around to the good info when I know you’re actively attempting to use language to manipulate my thinking. Framing them as “riots” when they are acknowledged internationally as mostly peaceful protests.

Yes. You are currently advocating for “minority report”-style pre-action.

I’m saying it sounds like the direct violent conflict between protestors and counter protestors seems to be pretty low, not much higher than any other rate of violent crime I would guess.

Most of the violence to my understanding was between protestors and police, who reportedly repeatedly used unnecessary force.

It seems like you’re trying to justify the suppression of protest and the killing of 5 people by the government because there were 2 counter protestor deaths.

If this were America, and we were communists protesting capitalist rule, and the police were mistreating us and we rose up in violence, would you condemn that? Would you condemn them attacking capitalist counter protestors? I don’t think you would, right? That’s hypocrisy.

Dunno where you got that from. Fuck the Ukraine government and Hong Kong government.

Why does me taking issue with a government’s actions against civilians make me pro-some government? Oh right, it doesn’t, you’re just too brainwashed to understand that not everyone falls in line into “camps” like you choose to do. Sheep.

Yes, correct, anyone can perform authoritarian actions. Someone who insists upon it is an authoritarian. That simple enough for your pea brain?

I don’t think it’s fair to classify the protests as riots when the violence seems to have mostly been escalated from the police side and the violence against counter protesters seems to be fairly isolated incidents taking place between small groups? Give some more insight, you might be turning me a little bit here
