My snow tires didn’t come with TPMS sensors.

Because they’re not mandated.

Just like LIDAR wasn’t mandated on your car when you bought it.

Do you drive without a LIDAR? Why, do you like to live dangerously?

It’s definitely the only country with an MK Ultra, Operation Northwoods, Operation Paperclip (wait why am I supposed to have a problem with Operation Paperclip), etc etc problem.

Because their government isn’t very democratic, they rank pretty much last in the list of countries that actually call themselves “democracies” on the democracy index.

Which is why countries with more functioning democracies have less corruption.

I live in Canada and my snow tires haven’t had functioning TPMS in years. I do have a tire pressure light on forever, and they’re not mandated.

Sounds like an American problem.

do furry boys call themselves men-o’-paws?

I don’t think it’s liability. Whole bunch of companies helped the Nazis and came out with their reputation intact afterwards.

I think they’re afraid of helping people that might threaten their money.

Moral absolutism benefits only the status-quo.

Yeah but it’s going away. There’s an entire generation of people who grew up seeing terms like racism and sexism and anti-semitism being used to deflect against legitimate arguments.

Like you can’t get 12 people to sit in a jury when the cops have beat up on the whole town, right?

I don’t think people care about anti semitism so much anymore. Or any of the other isms for that matter.

Proven by whom? How do you even prove such a thing?

Assuming you are arguing in good faith and not trolling, here’s a couple of articles about mass surveillance in Russia and China, two states that both claim to be socialist, and who claim to use this mass surveillance to protect and further socialist interests and oppose capitalism:

You mean the sanctions he tried to block and veto? Those sanctions?

Why did he do that, do you think? Try every tool he had to oppose sanctions against Russia and North Korea?

But he blocked those sanctions at every turn, remember?

He failed to even say a single critical word of either of those two leaders.

If you’re not a Trump supporter why do you say all the same things they say?

Now now mr Trump supporter, saying it’s all Clinton propaganda doesn’t make the facts go away:

If by “Global South” you mean Russia and North Korea, then sure.

I’m witnessing fascism ascendant across America, I dunno about “the west”, nor would I say I’m still more scared of communism. I’m not scared of communism at all.

Can we talk about when the mass surveillance is done in the name of protecting socialism, and rooting out capitalism, without you resorting to “what about the west”?

I’m sorry I didn’t realize this message board was populated entirely by ghosts. How’s the ethereal plane these days, Ms Orc Princess?

But what about when the mass surveillance is done in the name of protecting socialism, and rooting out capitalism?

Except this time America’s leader is allied with those other countries.
