  • The dems will be remembered like the SDP, libs who birthed fascism, then handed power to fascists and continued to try to work with them, against the left, until the fascists realized they would better serve as examples than partners.

  • Having that 1 player being stalked by a horny dragon for the rest of the game, just in case.

  • 95% of those "socialists" were liberals who had fuckall to offer their constituents, but were branded socialists anyway. 99% of the remaining 5% were ratfucked by the dems and dem-alligned media, as we are seeing right now, live.

  • How much of that is because Samsung actually offers <200USD phones, a market segment Apple ignores?

  • What has lead you to think he is likely to lose?

    Are you more plugged into lib media, and they're doing "actually potential democrat voters love Republicans, so mandami is unelectable"?

  • This bad faith horseshit is tiring. If you genuinely think I'm not a native english speaker, look at my post history.

  • I could believe [that's true] of Russia.

    Your level of English is showing.

    A native english speaker would have understood what I was saying. Either you have the reading comprehension of an 8 year old or you're choosing to misunderstand.

  • China, Iran, Cuba

    I could believe Russia, but the people who've been to Cuba I've met show its absolutely false. The Iranians and people who've traveled to Iran I've met suggest there are religious police that do suck, but it technically being punishable doesn't stop them from criticizing those cops to foreigners.

    Have you and others tried to criticise the CCP, though

    Yes, like all the time, you just have to ask about a specific policy someone has feelings on.

    red herring

    I'm trying to give a more general description of criticism and dissent within China.

  • Getting sent to a secret camp because your neighbor is an undercover cop secretly monitoring you for wrongthink is wildly outside of anybody on earth's experience, except North Korea, allegedly.

    Sending a message on wechat and having it not arrive or having your internet cut off for 10 seconds during a live chat because your toddler walked into frame is.

    There was one chinese traveler on vacation I met in Hanoi who said some out-of-pocket shit about Hitler saving Germany. I mentioned it to some other chinese folks and they were as baffled as I was, but didn't think it was productive to confront him. I got the sense that randos with insane views are common enough they don't have the energy to try to correct them.

  • You can fabricate basically any part for a 70s era car with a pretty basic machine shop, 2000s become a bit more tricky with the electronics and how much more packed in everything is in there.

    Question: If displacements got so much smaller over the the last 50 years, why are engines so much bigger? Used to be able to reach in and access anything, now every inch is full of engine.

  • people who are not in camps would not dare speak about their true feelings.

    Bro it's not 1984, people might not talk about politics online, but they absolutely will describe whatever bullshit they're dealing with in person.

  • Its not even Islamic, arab-speaking Christians say they worship Allah too, its literally just a translation.

  • Most wealth is in assets though

  • The whiplash when a dem wins president ad all the libs flip to "actually this this we all agreed was bad when

    <last republican>

    was doing it isn't that bad and its really important we keep <funding ICE camps/bombing country/backing Israel/giving money to corporations/funding police attention the expense of literally everything>"

  • Our standards coincide with what a candidate needs to do to win. By pretending otherwise, you allow the DNC to maintain the delusion the can win without doing what their constituents want. This is basic politics. How thrilled would you be if the republican politicians behaved like the DNC and told their base "haha eat shit, what are you gonna do, vote Democrat?"

  • They lost to Donald fucking Trump, twice. Do you think Trump is a uniquely gifted politician? You have to have exceptional distain for your constituents if you can't get them to come out when the alternative is the republicans.

  • I'm guessing Obama was before your politcal awakening. Is there anything specificly I said you don't believe and want more information on?
