  • The only reason that happened was because that CEO’s decisions lead to massive negative results in China’s real-estate sectors, which in turn cost the Chinese government a lot of money, and THAT is why that criminal actually saw consequences.

    Don’t take that as proof that China judges everyone fairly regardless of wealth/status. As long as you keep your crimes to an extent that it doesn’t cause a massive backlash on large swaths of the country, it’s a different ballgame.

    As others have said, you’d be wise to distrust both.


  • What clown world are you living in? The cults needs deprogramming, that doesn’t just happen automatically.

    Furthermore, all of these corporations and their associated billionaires and whatnot are not just going to pack it up and go back to playing by the rules when this admin wraps in 28.

    There is no single thing that happens and triggers the country to heal. Media owned by said billionaires has grown true hatred and the like to facilitate distractionary in-fighting amongst the people.

    Between the culture wars and keeping people desperate and sick with rising costs, tying healthcare to labor, etc. Trump is a symptom, a useful idiot.

    We have much bigger problems that do not start nor end with Trump or his admin.

    THE ONLY REASON TO PREORDER IS TO ENSURE YOU HAVE A COPY ON LAUNCH.

    Do you think they will run out of digital copies of you to download? (Just in case someone doesn’t know, that’s not how digital downloads work)

    It’s that fucking simple. Pre-order bonuses are almost never worth it on their own, and even for those that are, you’re enabling and supporting a predatory/anti-consumer practice.


  • Fucking seriously. There is so much fucking factual shit to nail these disgusting monsters on, yet morons continue to lift up fake fucking bullshit and sensationalized narratives.

    Some real captured opposition shit. It’s pathetic and ridiculous, eroding a very clear moral/justified high ground, giving these evil people plausible deniability for NO FUCKING REASON.














  • the “right” that you refer to doesn’t exist, because the overton window has been slammed really fucking far right. There is a sea of idiots somewhere in the middle, Trump was able to take advantage of that, telling them he would fix it all quickly. That lie will only become harder to ignore as these same idiots struggle more and more to afford groceries.

    These are the people that are not hard right, but they are hard dumb. Reality and struggle is the best teacher and they’re about to get a lesson they have never had before in their safe relatively comfortable American lives.

    By just crossing them all off as ‘the right’ and that they want fascism is foolish and self-defeating. Yes the far right DO want this, but everyone that isn’t some semblance of ‘left’ are absolutely not the only ones that don’t.

    Blanket statements provide no value, only serve to remove nuance, and the removal of nuance only serves fascists.

    OH boy I sure do love purity checks. It’s worked out so great for us in the past.

    Why is this shit always all or nothing, goddamn. It works for maga because they have no nuance and it’s all groupthink, but the rest of the nation is far more complex and won’t just go for a hard left progressive in the same way. It needs to happen but it won’t happen in a single election.

    I am in no way endorsing newsome, but at least he’s doing LITERALLY ANYTHING.
