None of this information is in any way hard to find:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Uyghurs_in_China

I also believe this is just a series of fortuitous accidents.

It also needs to be cheaply mass producible. So making stuff from literal dirt is a pretty smart idea.

I suggest you ask the Uyghurs, the Tibetans and all the other people affected by his latest act of benevolence.

Well, you’ve been pretty laggardly in defending the Generalissimus from the filthy counterrevolutionaries. I’d say that’s the gulag for you.

You can have him as a bonus, after Putin has been convicted.What are you going to charge him with, though?

Straight to The Hague!

That took you pretty long.

That’s a bingo!

Just to make you happy: Xi, Putin, Trump and Netanyahu should all be tried at the ICC in The Hague.

Try commenting that maybe, just maybe, Stalin wasn’t the greatest benefactor of humanity, ever.

I admire your optimism.

If they’re dumb enough to fall for that shit, I find it very hard to pity them.

You mean, just like his pivot to VR?

Power corrupts. Every time. The only way to work around that is accountability. The people we give power to get it for a limited amount of time and with clear rules on what they’re allowed to do with it. If you break the rules, you’re held accountable. That’s how a modern democracy works. Once accountability breaks down we get *gestures vaguely at everything*

Teaching is so much more; the most important lessons i learned in school weren’t the information i was getting or the stuff i was asked on tests, but the continued impulses to make sure i think for myself, to be critical towards my surroundings, to make sure i don’t just accept incoming information, but also making sure to see who is feeding me that information and WHY i get this information fed at all.

That’s exactly what the war on education is trying to eradicate.

I, for one, welcome our new sexrobot overlords.

Another fucking dumb headline. The real question is whether all the criminals will ever be held accountable. Not that I’m optimistic in that regard.

If Sanders had won, the US and the world would look very different than it does today. And most people would agree that it would be a better place. And yes, fascists absolutely are the problem. It’s very much justified to blame the US Democrats for not opposing the rise of fascism in the US enough but this whole “the liberals are the true fascists” narrative is as tired as it is stupid.
