entire governments are in agreement

Yeah and literally all of them are white western US allies contractually obligated to hate China

Not a single Muslim majority, even those that are US allies, have said shit

Holy shit are you one of those people that actually fucking believes that?

Winnie the Pooh isn't banned in China, you can go visit Shanghai Disney and go see him. You can buy Pooh merch. The only thing that got banned was comparing images of Xi and Obama to Winnie and Tigger, and if you can't see why representing Xi with a literal yellow character and Obama with a character named Tigger might be worthy of social media bans, you're willfully ignorant.

And Chinese people aren't executed if they hear about Tiananmen Square. They know it fucking exists, they just refer to it by date and not by name.

Taiwan rightfully belongs under Chinese rule.

This is also the Taiwanese position.

Taiwan has never claimed independence, they're called the Republic of China because they see themselves as the rightful Chinese government in exile. They don't want a small isolated island, they want to take back the mainland.

or else see it and sign up for the paycheck anyway.

I mean it's probably this

Just make some fake reports every month, build whatever model or render you feel like that week. You know it'll never work, but hey, good money

Man, the book is set in a realistic 1920s Alabama. The entire point of Atticus and the entire trial is that Tom Robinson was falsely accused of miscegenation and SA, and that the whole town is too racist to care, except for a lawyer willing to defend a client the town is willing to lynch. It exists both to show Scout that racism is bad (not a common idea in fucking early 1900s Alabama, let alone 1960 when the book was published), and to be a frank depiction of how godawful America was in the 20s, published when America was equally awful (60s).

I don't even recall the book having Atticus use white saviour language regarding the case. He takes it because he sincerely believes in what would pass for equality in that era. What the fuck were you looking for, him to start going John Wick on the town for being racist? Is any white lawyer who works for a black client a white saviour?

The book is specifically about the exact opposite: Scout learns over and over that The System (the prevailing culture in America) is shit, and learns to look outside of it. She learns the "creepy weirdo" who lives next door is actually just a mentally ill man who was forced into being a hermit by the culture around her. She regularly hangs out with the ex-slave community in her town and treats them better than the adults do. She watches her father fight for the rights of a falsely accused black man.

Like no, it's not a revolutionary book by any means. Atticus doesn't go full John Brown on the jail to break Tom out, and yes the Finches do have a black housekeeper - shit ain't perfect by any means. But it isn't a book about how we must all accept the system.

As I understand it we should have /some/ more time until the invasion of Taiwan, mainly because they need more numbers of and more reliable marine landing vehicles with greater ranges.

China hasn't made a single actual step towards invading Taiwan for reunification since the end of the Chinese Civil War.

It has been like 70 years of the US telling us they're gonna invade any second now, and China has continued to not invade and maintain the policy of waiting for reunification to happen naturally.

But y'know go off, king

Creating the Space Force to funnel more money into the MIC

Every liberal was pissing themselves laughing at how silly it was. They made a rush Netflix comedy about how silly it was.

And now that Biden's in power it is a vital part of national security etc

Russia is imperialist because it has close relations and ties to other nations like Belarus

The more nations you're friends with the more imperialister you are

He has changed his ways/I believe in allowing people the opportunity to reform

I also believe in allowing people the opportunity to reform, but that's usually involving things like drug crimes, or thefts, or other similar crimes fueled by socioeconomic factors

When someone goes and establishes a fairly complex human trafficking network though, it's a little different

Other than Uvalde and the Las Vegas concert one, I'm fairly certain all the most brutal ones to enter the public psyche were under the Obama regime.

I unfortunately know a number of turbolib and centrist "neopagans" who basically practice the grab-bag version that our comrade is ranting about in the opener, and they practice it due to being white but wanting to be "interesting".
