Because whenever a religious person or entity does a bad thing internet atheists are quick to say “see? This is PROOF that religion SUCKS! This would NEVER happen in an ATHEIST utopia,” sometimes coupled with a call to ban religion or something equally insane. Sometimes you gotta point out the hypocrisy. I wish I was making this up, but yeah.

What. The. Fuck.

Overall the Chinese are somewhat known for pragmatic approaches, why chasing illusions in this case? The total number of readers and writers can’t be that huge can’t it?

Probably enlightened despotism giving way to regular despotism. Facing economic problems, and having shed all pretense of being socialist, the Chinese ruling class likely needs a scapegoat for the country’s troubles.

That’s… hopeful…

I can’t stand that this piece of shit gets to dictate what most of the world does in their own fucking countries…

Eh, the only new thing to most of the world is how obvious he is about it.

Do we really need celebrity gossip here?

In China? No way.

This shit again?

I mean yes, when did I say otherwise? Israel is at fault for creating this terrible situation, and the people exploiting that situation for their own gain at the expense of Palestinians are also at fault. These two things can be true at the same time.

I get what you’re trying to say, but Hamas is not just a resistance organization; they’re an oppressive terrorist regime on their own right. If not for Israeli aggression they’d have been overthrown three times over.

If Zionists had any real leverage they could use to control states Spain and Ireland (and to a lesser extent France under Macron) wouldn’t be outspoken advocates for Palestinian rights. The guilt trip is definitely part of it, but also don’t underestimate the scale or pervasiveness of Israeli propaganda. I mean, unless you’re exceptionally educated on Palestinian history at least half the things you believe about the so-called conflict are probably Israeli propaganda., irrespective of what you feel about Israel. I hate to admit it, but they are good at this stuff. Their major Western ally status gained during the Cold War is also not helping.

This sounds a lot less incriminating if you replace OIP with Eblit.

I think there’s a tug of war going on between his Zionist handlers, his Russian handlers and more recently his Gulf handlers. The Russians called dibs first so they’re currently on top.

I hate to side with Google, but intellectual property and especially patent law is stupid.

Does anyone even go to North Korea? Is that like a thing?

Eat shit, Zionists.

Do you have a source for that?

Username checks out. Also try Your Name.

And there’s getting shot by regime snipers. I’m not trying to make an “others had it worse” argument, but let’s not have any illusions about the scale of action and the amount of risk necessary for America to get out of this. The more you wait the more likely it becomes for this happen in the next protest where you live. Also, as I said, they can’t fire everyone. Maidan and Arab Spring protesters returned to their jobs just fine after their revolutions.

Why don’t you want to say what makes a protest effective?

I can’t find the article now, but I read one yesterday about LA protesters doing things like blocking ICE vehicles, towing them away and making noise outside their hotels so they can’t sleep. They’re actually confronting ICE and LAPD, draining away their energy and reducing the pace of arrests. Here’s an example. Do this on a national scale and Trump’s little Gestapo won’t stand a chance.

Good luck not getting fired.

They can’t fire everyone, but more importantly look up the events of Euromaidan, the various Arab spring revolutions and the recent Serbian (or was it Slovakian?) protests. It’s impossible to overthrow authoritarianism without personal risk; that’s just not how that works. You’re free to choose the authoritarianism instead of the personal risk, but then you can’t claim that you’re resisting, because you’re not; it’s either or.
