Reuters, NYT, NPR etc. are all using the opportunity to complain about Xi of course, but no conspiracy theories yet. I went with the People’s Daily article cause it doesn’t use his death as an excuse to write an opinion piece. Also it’s straight from the source.

I for one denounce the heinous acts of violence committed by the Haitian rebels. Stand with France!

And yet you support the genocide of Palestinians. Curious!

You are falling for atrocity propaganda again. No, Palestinian freedom fighters did not go “one by one” slaughtering babies.

Incorrect. Hamas, in accordance with the Quran, believes it is possible for Muslims, Jews, and Christians to live in harmony. Furthermore, in their updated charter they explicitly reject targeting Jews for simply being Jewish:

Hamas affirms that its conflict is with the Zionist project not with the Jews because of their religion. Hamas does not wage a struggle against the Jews because they are Jewish but wages a struggle against the Zionists who occupy Palestine. Yet, it is the Zionists who constantly identify Judaism and the Jews with their own colonial project and illegal entity.

Hamas rejects the persecution of any human being or the undermining of his or her rights on nationalist, religious or sectarian grounds. Hamas is of the view that the Jewish problem, anti-Semitism and the persecution of the Jews are phenomena fundamentally linked to European history and not to the history of the Arabs and the Muslims or to their heritage.

Firefox on Android with U Block Origin. Can watch in 720p and even listen to audio while in another tab. Stop using apps folks!

Fuck Google, I’m not paying them shit.

However, when Google and Amazon are nationalized then I’ll agree. Everyone should pay taxes which go into the government owned server farms.

No, it is not OK to support Israel. They’re a genocidal state. You should support Palestine or at least be a coward and stay out of talking about it.

What about all the atrocities Israel just did in Gaza? Leveled a bunch of apartments, displaced a ton of families, and killed hundreds.

2050 is gonna be crazy

The esteemed Mr. Malthus wrote about it. The admirable J. Swift has also written a wonderful proposal for how we may deal with it.

My hot take is that if you sell your soul to the Nazis to fight for independence, you should be dealt with like a Nazi.

If Xi piloted a flying saucer to kidnap military officers, I’d have no choice but to support him.

China’s National Defense Minister Li Shangfu has been missing for weeks. Now, he’s under investigation for corruption and out of a job

Probably getting fired and/or arrested for corruption if I had to guess. Just a thought though.

You’re stretching the definition of democratic especially if you’re extending that to all of these countries that have recently experienced coups.

It’s not an SOE and like half of its stocks are owned by Americans. But the parent company got some government funding according to the US Congress, so the whole conglomerate is considered an SOE by America now. Sounds like trade war stuff to me lol

Hate speech isn’t free speech!

The issue of transgender athletes was basically resolved several years ago when the IOC decided on two years of feminizing hormones before transgender women could compete in the female category. But due to the re-emergence of the anti-queer culture war, sports federations are re-litigating the issue and throwing science out the door.

Kind of a clickbait headline. The “emissions rate” referred to is simply the carbon intensity of GDP growth. No layperson would assume that!

Still good news though.
