is it real? maybe
is china a corrupt shithole where rule of law is a farce? most certainly. we had first hand evidence of this with how quickly 2 canadian michaels got released for "spying" after huawei's princess got detained in canada. china thought canada was as much of a corrupt shithole and couldn't understand why trudeau couldn't directly intervene and set her free the way the ccp set two canadian hostages free the moment their telco princess was let go

i'm fine accepting the reality of how much our democracy leaves a lot to be desired in the west but at least people have the freedom to start their own political movements here and can blast fuck the police in the streets
you can continue your existence licking authoritarian bootheels and crying about how any criticism of china, russia or north korea is imperialist propaganda

As far as any reasonable human being is concerned incarceration rates in China are equal to like 600-800 million, whole fucking country is a huge jail. Imagine being able to register on twitter but as soon as posting a twit going against the official commie party bs police will be at your door to take you to labor camp.

Imagine 1 billion people having less rights and freedoms (not even mentioning quality of life overall) than US prisoners.

just to tack on, here: PDF warning https://www.ipsos.com/sites/default/files/ct/news/documents/2021-12/Global-Predictions-for-2022.pdf

Page 30 for the stuff about optimism, but all the other stuff obliquely measures optimism, I think.

It's not, and it's obviously not. I think we both know this.


That's China understanding what the game was. Trump openly said that Meng was a hostage when he said he would release her in exchange for concessions from Huawei. (Note how it's his decision, btw. Canada is an American satrapy.)

A bestselling book in China was Frederic Pierucci's The American Trap, which is a story about how he (the author) was abducted into the American prison system in order to force a French company, Alstom, to sell critical assets to General Motors.

What China did was understand that notions about the "rule of law" are a sham, a thin layer of make-believe slapped onto what is obviously a hostage situation.

FWIW, at least one of the Michaels is definitely a spy.


These are things you're allowed to do because they have no effect and very little chance of succeeding. All you have to do is look at history to see that as soon as some movement arises that is truly transformative and threatening, it is liquidated through the use of jailings and murders. Fred Hampton was murdered and Eugene Debs was tossed in jail, Fred Whitlam was soft-couped, Operation Gladio was spread throughout Europe.

How to start a war with Russia starter pack

Step one: Select a former Soviet republic preferably one that has close ties with Moscow. If they have a Russian naval / military base on their territory that's even better.

Step two: Warm them up by paying their gas bills, offering trade deals and promise future NATO and EU membership.

Step three: Get protesters out on the streets, give them EU flags and tell them to shit on Russia. Send Western representatives to address the crowd, promising the West has their backs.

Step four: When Russia freaks out and uses it's military to restore the status quo, dogpile on them with sanctions and provide billions and billions in military aid for the ex-Soviet republic you want to control.

Step five: Get in bed with corrupt far left MSM for propaganda purposes, they will tell everyone that Russia wants to swallow up the Western world and that the people of the ex-Soviet republic wanted closer ties with us all along, and Russia bad bad bad by the way.

Enjoy the war.

FWIW I think Palasan is Lviv, who was banned last month. Lviv joined, made a few fake trade posts, then spent all his time posting here. Palasan has done the same thing. Zero verifiable trades, just posts here.
