The man was a professional torturer and professional terrorist. He said he took those jobs because they aligned with his passions for torture and terrorism. You can be pragmatic without becoming a cartoon that will advocate for literal satans. There are levels.

How many protestors did cops in Hong Kong kill? Correct me if I’m wrong, but I feel like your phrasing is intentionally designed to imply a number greater than zero.

Making a joke or completely missing the point of the post?

Steam used to upload your whole resolver cache to Valve (So they could sidestep things not showing up in history when you use private-browsing). And they’re mandated to share everything they have on you with the NSA. So if you’re coming at this from a “I’ll trust Steam but not Wukong” angle, then yes, you are unreasonable. If you’re coming at this from a “All these private Chinese companies have insane privacy policies and send me hundreds of cookies, I’m not trusting anyone they work with!” angle then that’s completely reasonable. Closed source software is never safe, and capitalism doesn’t reward treating your customers well.

Do you think OP is presenting this street, completely full with people, as an example of normal pedestrian traffic? This is the inauguration. Nobody lives in these flats. The people on the street are having a party, following a plan by the party organisers, and then at the end they will move in to their new flats.

Most likely the party organisers have made deliberate choices to discourage people attending from watching from behind the stage, on account of how stages work.

Is this even the privacy forum? A lot of people here implying OP should consent to the spying for better service. Cloudflare absolutely does gather as much as Google, and with much deeper access. If you can go without those websites, then block Cloudflare.

How can you say North Korea is good? Don’t you know they have to push their trains to work? You even get executed if you have the same haircut or a different haircut than WPK’s General Secretary. They’re so evil that they’ll execute people with a 76mm cannon and then sew the mist back together and medically resurrect the person and re-execute them and then they’re forced to go back to work afterwards.

(The USA is an) imperfect system (striving for equality)

(China, Russia, North Korea, are) formal(ly) (unequal) (…) corrupt system(s).

Could you explain to me why among these, only the USA one meets your par?

You can use AI to summarise them. Or talk about individual articles. Really any sort of justification for why anyone could read these and think the USA one is the best one, never mind in a league of it’s own, is extremely fascinating.

Do you have even one bit of anecdotal evidence that he has fixed or improved anything? Or maybe a plan where there would be a drip and then a projected growth and we’re in the dip-phase per his proposed timeline?

Hell I’d imagine the war would be over pretty darn fast if the ukranians wanted it. White flags, surrender, get captured to protect themselves if their government is making them fight by intimidation.

Your comment is pretty reasonable if you do a quick fact check with the resources that Google or DDG gives you. But you should be careful to separate “Ukraine” with the specific people within Ukraine who live in the Donbas. Some quick factors to consider with your polling article. And I don’t blame you for not knowing to pay attention to this if you haven’t followed this conflict closely.

The poll is from before the civil war. The people in the Donbas were happy with their autonomy (They had some autonomy from the rest of Ukraine) and national status in 2014 and prior, because the sources of grievances weren’t yet fully established. After this they had to endure shelling and terror attacks from openly Nazi militias with de facto support from the new government. That changes your mind.

In your link, you can see that among the ethnic Russians (the majority of those living in the Donbass), and those in the east, support for joining the Russian Federation, and other types of pro-Russia sentiments are higher. Again, this was before the coup and suppression. 31% wishing to merge with another country with no incentive is in my opinion very significant. Can you imagine how this poll would look in your country asked about your neighbour?

But even after years of shelling, the people of the Donbass didn’t want to become Russian citizens, they wanted their own state, and that’s what the breakaway republics fought for.

Now after even more years of fighting, it’s obvious that isn’t an option, and so the question they have to weigh is if they want to be governed by Ukraine or Russia. Ukraine has stood by, and even aided the worst people terrorising them. Ukraine has spread extremely strong anti-Russian (not the state, but the ethnicity and language and culture and traditions and history) rhetoric and laws, and anti-Soviet rhetoric and laws. Meanwhile Russia has, from the view of many everyday people currently living in the occupied territories, treated them fairly, protected them and died for them. Russia listened to them diplomatically when they accused the Ukrainian government of genocide, and promised to recognise the breakaway republics as sovereign nations. The fact that this is in Russia’s benefit, or if they made promises they knew they wouldn’t have to keep isn’t that important.

Hell I’d imagine the war would be over pretty darn fast if the ukranians wanted it. White flags, surrender, get captured to protect themselves if their government is making them fight by intimidation.

All of this to say, the soldiers fighting aren’t from the cities they’re fighting over.
