- Comment on Knicks game has been going on for 2 hours now. Why aren't there any headline news stories about 20,000 people all storming towards him, and ripping his limbs off by force??? 1 week ago:

I thought we were sharing comedically bad definitions of political systems.

Catherine Liu pointed out how a lot of leftist spaces end up reproducing vanguards because of internal contradictions. Seems relevant for some reason…

You actually think there’s no accountability in China? My guy, they hold their politicians to a much higher bar then we do.

It must look strange to those who conflate authority with power. A state that has power without authority is a state that is in crisis. Calling a government authoritarian is to say it’s authority comes from it’s exercise of power.

They also believe a rock can think like a human so…

Antisocial people develop an antisocial AGI promising it won’t be antisocial towards a select group. Surprised Pikachu when the AGI concludes they are not in the in group

I don’t think it’s important, just like the legality of “illegal humans” is not important to how people are being mistreated. You’re the one bringing up legality in this context.

The OSX laptops was for security, you couldn’t connect to their VPN without it. It would also a way to monitor your usage

When I contracted with them we ran our computation loads on a Linux server and deployed our service to an internal Linux server. Only osx I touched was my laptop, and that was a work requirement they insisted on.

That’s like me saying what the Nazis did was legal when someone brings up the holocaust. Like what is your point in making this distinction? To show us you understand definitions? Good for you I guess… 🙄

You don’t have to be a tankie to recognize that they are enforcing international law. In that context of a civil war their actions are uncharacteristically peaceful.

The same cynicism that reinforces that mode of propaganda is used at home to justify supporting genocidal candidates.

As someone who gets to interact with the unhoused daily, we’re not putting the mentally ill in prison because we care but because they are bad for business.

“Both sides bad” vibes projected onto geopolitics.
If Israel treated Palestine like China treats the Uyghurs then Kamala would be president.

I think it’s rather beside the point when talking about human rights.
- Comment on I would watch that ngl 2 months ago:
And I will argue that is some very dubious context given how people are being treated. Like people are disappearing and you’re out here arguing they did a crime. Great job. Many of them aren’t even undocumented.
- Comment on I would watch that ngl 2 months ago:
Yes and further up the person was talking about how no person is illegal. So why are you even arguing?
- Comment on I would watch that ngl 2 months ago:
Yes, breaking the law is illegal. Do you understand that doesn’t make the person illegal or even a felon?
- Comment on I would watch that ngl 2 months ago:
Yes, exactly like that. The act is illegal. Not the person
- Comment on I would watch that ngl 2 months ago:
“fail to participate in the legal system”
Given my own experience with a brother-in-law being deprorted to a country where he cannot legally work, this sounds like a euphemism. We participated in the legal system, lawyers and all.
