Dunno why this thread is filled with people equating Hezbollah and Hamas
Because the kind of person who sides with Israel heavily overlaps with the kind of person who assumes that everyone in the Middle East is the same and that they’re all terrorists.
I imagine they might vote differently now, lmao.
The Whiskey Rebellion was a response to taxation that unfairly targeted the rural poor. George Washington crushed it.
the FSB couldn’t find any Nazis for the livestreams
Brother, there isn’t a single picture of a single Ukranian military unit taken in the past ten years where somebody isn’t wearing a fascist symbol of some kind. The reason the SMU stretched on is much more material - the Russian leadership greatly overestimated their military’s capabilities.
I don’t think you understood their argument.
The people in Donbas have spoken Russian and been considered an ethnic minority in Ukraine since the USSR broke up. The people of Donbas started a civil war in response to government discrimination against their minority. If the people of Donbas are through with being a part of Ukraine, then they absolutely should have the right to secede and either be independent or join with Russia.
Unfortunately we don’t live in a world where any minority group has the sovereignty to actually make that decision fairly and democratically, which is why instead of having a vote they had eight years of war followed by being annexed and two more years and counting of much more intense warfare.
It’s because the so-called “subsidies” from the Chinese government are much more than the “subsidies” wielded by the American government. In America a subsidy amounts to throwing money and tax breaks at corporations and asking them to make something with it - but Chinese subsidies are direct investments, with the government controlling how the money is spent and staying involved every step of the way. That’s why they turn so reliably into increased production and reduced prices while our own subsidies tend to turn into stock buybacks.
There’s really no practical reason why the US couldn’t adopt a similar industrial policy - imagine going to GM/Ford/Chevy and paying them to build new EV factories in Detroit, directly overseeing the whole process from start to finish, and leaving behind government representatives at all levels of the factories’ operation - but the reason we don’t do it is pretty much purely ideological.
5 - it’s just imperialism. They want to control more territory, so they do
Your definition of imperialism is straight out of the 3rd century BC, comrade.
Hyper focusing on the 11- or 9-dash line is a lie by omission. China’s usage of and claims to the area predate the Republic of China too, and are established in multiple treaties signed by the Qing with colonialist powers, which is what I was referring to. Like it or not the PRC is the successor government to the ROC even though the ROC still exists in Taiwan, that’s why the PRC eventually took over the UN security council seat, and because of that by precedent the PRC inherits the ROC’s territorial claims, who inherited them from the Qing.
sensorship
Famously, the Spartacus Uprising was definitely a democratic movement and not an attempt to seize the government by force before democratic elections could be held. /s
There was a general strike! Millions of people participated! It failed in large part because the Communists weren’t ready for it and their leadership was too paralyzed in the moment to actually seize power!
But please continue to just imagine what historical events were like instead of picking up a book and learning about them.

Cry harder western shill.
80% of the world’s solar panels come from China and more than half of their electrical grid is from non-fossil sources. Coal plants are used as backups where they are still used at all. I’m sorry bud but it is simply an objective fact that China has invested more into a green energy transition than anyone else on this Earth.
at some point the Roman empire claimed it
False comparison. The treaties that established their claim is from the 19th century and were signed by their direct predecessor state.
but we’re not comfortable with how they run things
If you’re not comfortable with totally eliminating extreme poverty, taking the largest steps of any country on the planet to combat climate change, and having a democratic government that exercises control over the capitalists rather than the other way around, then your comfort is not something worth caring about.
China does not recognize the international tribunal’s ruling.
The international tribunal did not have the standing to make the ruling that it did. China’s claim to the ECS predates the UN and the international court, the UN (lead by the USA) stole control over the sea and retroactively legalized their theft while China was fighting a civil war.
For the record, Taiwan claims precisely the same thing. But they’re a US-backed puppet regime so they can’t move against the US the way that the PRC can.
which had previously been cooperative with the KPD after the establishment of the Weimar Republic.
Famously the SPD didn’t work together with fascists to create the kill squads that murdered Rosa Luxemburg.
To reiterate what I said the last time centrists acted revisionist about this shit, nobody in history has been more vindicated than Ernst motherfucking Thalmann. Social Democrats are objectively the moderate wing of fascism and they enthusiastically participated in suppressing everyone to the left of them until there was nobody left and the Nazis decided it was their turn.
I would be a responsible gun owner
-Every single gun owner (self included ofc)
I think you could be right, but it depends on the details Nintendo comes out with. I remember people were saying that they thought certain Palworld monsters had been ripped from the Pokemon games and recolored - if Nintendo can demonstrate that, then that’s a slam dunk for them.
But if it’s just creature designs and collecting them, then I just don’t think that “a cute monkey with green fur” is a novel enough concept to be defensible against someone else doing something similar.
