this is a classic sci fi plot

And every single fucking time it goes bad for the people involved

Like literally every single instance of a species being uplifted in sci fi is a cautionary tale about interference with others, and usually has the uplifted species be violent/used as a weapon

Literal fucking Torment Nexus bullshit

Real choice is going into the cereal aisle in a grocery store and seeing eighteen different brands of HFCS all owned by the same company.

In the 50s and 60s, the easiest way to gain entry into Canada for immigration was to show a Nazi tattoo. This proved one was ideologically anti-communist and thus safe.

In what way was the Khmer Rouge not a Communist party?

In literally every way that matters. A name is just a name, a political party can call themselves anything they want, and none of their politics were communist in any way.

Granted, you're probably one of those dipshits who thinks the Nazis were socialist, given your fixation on names.

outsource the construction of absolutely everything to China

confused as to how China makes Things

Worse, it's part of a myth that if someone living in China ever reads about or becomes aware of the grievances in that copypasta, the government will send a goon squad to disappear that person immediately.

Which I always found just the perfect distillation of liberal ideology: China is bad for being a repressive police state, and so we'll use that to ruin the lives of random Chinese people

My favourite bit about the video is that the tank column is leaving Tiananmen when this guy stops them, and I always get the impression he's essentially asking the tankers to go back to the Square.

Naturally the lib framing is that he's blocking them from entering the Square

It's just racism, plain and simple. The media ran breathless pearl-clutching stories about how lots of Vancouver's real estate was owned by Chinese investors basically parking money overseas by buying properties and leaving them empty. This was then extrapolated over to Toronto.

The reason the foreign aspect is underlined is because of how dominant the idea of white replacement is in the housing discourse here. If you ask anyone who isn't Marxist about the housing crisis, you'll get two responses: it's either foreign investors buying all the properties and hoarding it so Canadians can't access it, or the Liberals/Trudeau "bringing in" a tens or hundreds of thousands of immigrants to Canada when we have "no room" (ignoring that half the country is literally empty). People here don't believe investors are the problem - just that the wrong investors are trying to ruin things.

Should be noted that even then the US lost so comprehensively in the first day of combat that the generals restarted the entire thing and forced the side playing Iran to essentially sit on their hands

YOUR STEALTH TECHNOLOGY IS NOT INVINCIBLE, AND YOUR SHITTY OVERPRICED BULLSHIT F-35 WILL GET SHOT DOWN AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN

I absolutely need a variant of the "Sorry, We Didn't Know It Was Invisible" poster but for an F-35.
