you cannot trust Chinese open source software because they could’ve hidden zero day vulnerabilities and we, the superior westerners with superior technology, simply cannot detect it before using it

Because it’s easy. Criminals seek the target of least resistance, like how old cars are stolen a lot compared to luxury sedans with a bunch of tracking and security vehicles.
A lot of the shooters are racist towards black Americans but they would never try a mass shooting in some Bloods infested neighborhood because they know the residents will shoot back. Others are racist towards Hispanics but they wouldn’t dare step foot in Juarez to do a mass shooting because they’ll end up headless on a sidewalk. So they go after people who have never caused any problems to anyone
Not to mention, like many serial killers, they’re have delusions of grandeur and believe they’re on a mission that can only be achieved through violence. Not to mention, they also want to achieve maximum shock value. Eviscerating a woman’s guts and leaving her in the sidewalk for joggers to find is old fashion. Targeting old people and elementary school children and live-streaming it is the new normal.
Rich and powerful people rarely get hurt.
This is why leftist terrorism is rare. We have seen it in the past during the Cold War. The RAF killed politicians and fascist leaders and foot soldiers. The Japanese Red Army killed some civilians and hijacked planes, but they were part of a larger political goal that was immediate (I.e. the civilians were Israeli, the plane was going to North Korea). The Italians went on bombing and shooting campaigns during the Years of Lead because fascists targeted them with the help of NATO and the CIA. Most leftist terrorists target actual people with influence and power. That’s why they’re prioritized more than fascists when it comes to repression.
The ugly truth that liberals don’t want to acknowledge is that there are only two ways for gun control to happen in the US. 1, if minorities start to become not only armed, but also resistant to the American institution. The conservative minorities who own guns don’t do squat to threaten any power. Or 2, rich people and their children are targeted by mass shooters. The rich will always prioritize themselves so if things get out of hand, they have no problem violating any gun rights. 2 will be unlikely to happen, but 1 is quite literally how gun control came to existence in the US, so it might happen again.
Literally 99% of Chinese “propaganda” in movies is just the movie has an important plot progression that takes place in China for like 15 minutes and no one is spewing hatred for Chinese people. Maybe someone speaks mandarin for a few seconds. Then it transitions back to the west. Americans lost their mind over it because god forbid your globetrotting brain rot take place in the largest country for a few scenes.
US military in the South China Sea gets attacked by aqueous deceptions
Chengdu J-20s are dispatched to save the Americans
Americans start firing on the J-20s assuming they’re deceptions
Chinese military urge their pilots to be brave by withstanding fire without retaliating so they can rescue their foes
American soldiers are saved without any of them being killed by the Chinese
There is some truth to movie posters having the black character resized smaller/removed, but westerners like to omit some things.
- The Star Wars poster that popularized this conspiracy theory was actually made by the west and used as official promotional content in the west. It’s one of the various posters made and all sorts of versions were used, including in China
- The black character in Dune was removed in the Chinese posters, but that Chinese poster was in Taiwanese theaters lol
I don’t know how Chinese fans reacted to John Boyega, but I believe one of his reasons for leaving Star Wars was because of China IIRC. Though the biggest reason was because of English speaking fans, so whatever racism China might have, the vitriol is much more present and readily available in the western world.
I'll take a Double Triple Cartel Beheading, on a raft, four-by-four Jim Crow-style, extra slurs with an E and an R, light mass shooting, write a manifesto, publish it, and let it air live
When I originally read that it was about some guys wanting to “change the system” from the inside, I thought it was a bit out of character for Boots Riley. Glad he was just fucking around
Also is that Elijah wood
YOU ARE A BAD PERSON FOR LAUGHING AT A BILLIONAIRE’S DEATHH!!!
you address tankies directly I recommend going for broad-strokes arguments and questions and refuse to let yourself be dragged into areas that can’t be wikipedia’d quickly, say, the status of unions in the USSR.
Not doing basic research to own the tankoids
And, just for the record, yes, even Anarchists technically form vanguards. From “farming commune doing its thing and writing revolutionary poetry” to “Let’s stop right-wing militias from slaughtering native people and then live among the natives and talk about humanism”, see Chiapas)
Lmao I can tell this person is white. The Zapatistas aren’t “living among the natives.” They are the fucking natives. And certainly not anarchists
Also, Tankiedom is a CONTELPRO programme, their purpose is to make lefitsts in general look bonkers and inherently oppressive. Convince me otherwise
Things with evidence of CIA and FBI interference are just tankie paranoia. But thing without proof is an FBI op because they annoy me
Excuse me. She has a very important job. She is a freelance marketer.
