US riots will always be localized or at least treated as such by the media, and thus isolated from the rest of the country. It’ll just be more city riots that further divide both sides, giving one justification for cracking down on the other

Why does Xi think he gets any say? He’s showing his full hand already, and it’s actually pathetic. Already saying that it will have to be taken by force. So he’s admitting that the people of Taiwan, if given a choice, may not choose to join China. Let’s give everyone a vote guaranteed by international overwatch, none of those mainland representatives.

This is just another dictator having a whiny shitstorm threatening to take territory by force just because they want their historical empire.

Sometimes they are really good at hiding it for 40 years, leading to even worse heart break. Surely there was some denial involved, but still…

This is never the right way to think. You’re calling for genocide, so go outside and mature some more.

Apparently my cousin hit four turkeys on his national crossing

There was some Morgan Freeman movie about this exact thing, only they were bracelets. And the ring, in the movie, had some kind of 10-second recall time travel quality. Weird movie. But same thing!

I got that for ya!

Let X be T = 0:00, and Y = “unsafe”

Just sell before X = Y!

That’ll be one million dollars, please.

Wait a second… That’s MY ip!

Not to mention the horrific consequences of Kessler Syndrome when space is weaponized with any explosive ordinance…

That was the Soviet Union and their scientists. Russia WISHES they could claim that invention!

Oh. That’s neat

If you’re on the side of black market drugs and oppressive violence, it is very effective at farming those negative qualities in a society.

I would wait for the cold months to pass. You’ll be paying more for heating, but if you play it right you can save on air conditioning this summer.

On one hand, this has got to be public trolling. On the other, it’s still a bill calling for a classification of people to be removed from society. If it weren’t so scary it would be funny.

“Bombies”: the smaller explosive ordinance involved in cluster bombing with up to a 30% dud rate.

We (the US) dropped a plane-load of bombs on Laos every 8 minutes for a decade straight.

Thanks China, without your censorship I wouldn’t have learned this absolutely humiliating story of your past. You are so weak because your pilots cook rice in eggs! Now the secret is out!

I get what you’re saying, I really do. Better to have some good than none at all.

I guess I can’t convince you of the facts about some good being no longer enough, so I guess I’ll just celebrate this small “win” and continue to ignore that it changes nothing. Better to be numb than realistic I guess.

No, you’re not getting it.

Accepting the bare minimum is being complicit in the status quo.

The state of the world will not improve until we drastically alter the culture of consumerism and what it means to hoard wealth and resources.

That really is a pretty big gamble. At $400m, they’re competing with some big name releases that made $500m

And I’m sure they’ll want more than just 100 in the green

Could someone step in and explain why they insist on keeping their name “Republic of China”? I understand they fought and won a civil war for independence, but why keep the name of their previous oppressors? Would claiming the name Taiwan not bring more unity?
