Right, because paying elite drug dealers to hunt and kill amateur drug dealers and children is completely functional

The government fearmongered and exaggerated the prevalence and dangers of drugs (including cannabis), sent the police and hitmen to kill mentally ill people and leave their corpses in the street, then patted themselves on the back and said "job well done"

You're really giving these serial killers the benefit of the doubt

There wasn't any destruction till the police shoot us dude

Executives do that regularly. They're paid in stock, so they sell to get their money. The SEC can easily see if they sold an abnormal amount. I'm sure they're all under a microscope at this very moment.

> I think they fear foreign propaganda being used on their citizens

Literally what every CCP apologist says. That's literally what every person who is defending the brainwashing of people say -- about Russia, North Korea, China, etc.

It is not fear of foreign propaganda or else they wouldn't have 100% pro CCP content and allow no criticism no protest that could be a political threat to the CCP.

>and given the history of antagonism against communist countries it's not a far fetched idea.

But they all literally did that on day one of being communist. So you're argument is horrible.

Brain washed populations don't know they are being brainwashed. Just look at Russia and you can see how quickly they got brainwashed. China has been doing that for over 70 years.

>I read whatever media I can get my hands on and try to evaluate it critically

Why can't you be specific? What is the media you mostly use and which ones do you trust the most? That doesn't mean you have to believe 100% of everything from those sources but there are sources we each believe more than other sources.

It's not hard to answer unless your a typical CCP apologist who leaves it vague because we all know it's CCP media you trust the most or some media that is always defending the CCP like the grayzone.

>The most honest journalism I've found is in small time independent journalists who are free to report whatever they'd like

Often those paid by Russia or China's governments.

I've seen people share this idea all over and just don't get it?

I agree that the Russian state is run by a bunch of corrupt Lunatics. But so is the DPRK and they have at least 50 functional ICBMs with a nearly non-existent economic system

Russia on paper has about 6000 nuclear warheads. ~1000 of which are deployed. Even if we say that 90% of them arn't working that's still 100 deployed and 600 war heads. It only takes 100 strategic weapons to kill most of Europe

I don't get why down play the gravity of the situation.

Being honest make people frightened. But at least people know the reality of the situation and why the current Russian government is a threat to everyone and needs to be stopped.

Because the labor is cheaper. According the the CEO.

Nothing about it is fiscally impossible let alone mathematically destined to run out of funds.

The US is not unusual. Most countries in the Western Europe use a social insurance system where current workers pay current beneficiaries - including France.

And yesterday I told myself I would stop procrastinating for the last time...

I'd agree that they have pretty strict media control, and in a sense yes it is to control the people. I think they fear foreign propaganda being used on their citizens to start a revolution and divide the country, and given the history of antagonism against communist countries it's not a far fetched idea. Whether this is right or wrong will ultimately be decided by the Chinese people, I just don't think it makes the government automatically evil.

On the matter of the Xinjiang, you say that there is evidence of MILLIONS of Uyghurs in camps, I've looked for a long time and never found such evidence. Exactly how did you arrive at these numbers? I've found the so called "evidence" to be extremely lacking, like a sattalite picture of some fenced facility? Or a prison transfer with zero context? How do these things prove an ongoing genocide? If you have more evidence I'd love to see it. Yes there were/are mandatory camps for the Uyghur people to be de radicalized after years of horrible terrorist attacks and separatism in the region, but these were by no means concentration camps. I saw some testimonies of mistreatment in these camps which I believe, but overall it seemed to be a legitimate deradicalization effort. Since the start of this program the amount of terrorist activity in Xinjiang is reduced to almost zero. Nobody was genocided in these camps and the Uyghur language and culture are going strong this very day in Xinjiang, simply look at some YouTube videos of people exploring Xinjiang and this is evident.

I'll refrain from commenting more on the South China Sea until I'm better informed.

From what I've read on taiwan the CPP consider reunification to be very important to the party's legitimacy and a high priority. They've also stated that they are strictly against the independence of Taiwan. But these statements are almost always accompanied by them saying they want to continue developing peaceful relations and ultimately desire a peaceful resolution. In my opinion any military demonstration around the island is really a message to the United States basically saying "we have the military power to take this island, fuck off", it's a display of power, not a warning of invasion. Based on the sentiments I've gotten from Chinese citizens there is no popular support for the invasion of Taiwan. I'd say it's fair to consider to possibility of invasion at some point, but not to assume that it's the intention of China.

I read whatever media I can get my hands on and try to evaluate it critically. It seems every report will have elements of truth and some straight up lies, no matter which side it comes from. The most honest journalism I've found is in small time independent journalists who are free to report whatever they'd like, regardless of political or capital interest. Anyway my mind is not made up on any of these issues, I'm open to hear your opinions.

CCP was too draconian with Zero-Covid strategy and people have had enough of it by leaving Shanghai as soon as they can.

They're using tear gas and arresting reporters. Where are the cries about war crimes?

> United Nations - The UN General Assembly on Wednesday is expected to adopt a resolution calling for a top court to outline legal obligations related to climate change, an "Unprecedented challenge of civilizational proportions."

> While nations have no legal obligation under the Paris Agreement to meet emission reduction targets, backers of the new climate resolution hope other instruments, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights or the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, could offer some pathways for enforcement.

> The UN resolution notably asks the ICJ to clarify the "Legal consequences" for states which "Have caused significant harm to the climate system and other parts of the environment."

Its mostly in the top level subs of reddit. The smaller ones hand out quick bans for racist comments. You just need to avoid these big subs.

And for those that's say its because of Ukraine War, nope. Its been going on since around 2014 atleast when I first started using reddit.

I couldn’t agree with you more. Their soldiers are not trained. They’re sent out without adequate equipment. It’s the most disorderly army I’ve ever seen. Russians are losing entire generations of family members and are tired of it. I’m with you in believing their arsenal is probably defective or useless.
