The population of China increased by 400 million under Mao, makes you wonder what the place would look like if his regime never took over.


Defending and saying Mao was actually good is pretty wild but then again your faction loves genocidal terrorists so 🤷‍♂️

Secondly, anyone with a brain knows that China only succeeded after the Deng reforms, which reversed failed Maoist policy.

The Bolsheviks called, they want their ideology back.

Everything you wrote has been tried, done, and is in the dustbin of history.

Are 100+ million dead bodies not enough for you? The destruction of entire nation states that now live in crippling poverty?


:huh: What is it with you and hallucinating things into posts?

Mass man-made famines, which were orchestrated under Marxist ideology and painted as revolutionizing our food systems, happened under the Bolshevik Soviet Union & Maoist China where over 100 million died. Yes or no?

The "middle class lifestyle" is an anomoly that will likely never exist again.

The middle class lifestyle was the result of rapid technological progress and the end of excessive population growth in the West.

Quote
People really like having individual cars even though you don't need them if you design cities well.

People in more rural or suburban settings still need cars. Even city dwellers will occasionally need individual mobility.

Quote
We should be designing our cities to largely exclude cars and have robust efficient public transport. Middle class people aren't gonna like this, but it's not really a matter liking it as much as it's a matter of having no choice. We can do it willingly now, or kicking and screaming as things collapse around us.

You're only addressing one point, namely mobility. What about living in apartments vs single-family homes? Or suburbs in general? What about traveling and seeing the world? What about outdoor activities like skiing or mountaineering? Going by your logic, none of these things would be attainable for the average person anymore. What you're essentially getting at is the WEF's "you will own nothing and be happy"-agenda. Good luck finding political majorities with such a platform. ^_^

The people of Palestine in a fashion that explicitly does not support Hamas.

Everybody else is always doing war crimes.


Here you first accuse Israel of war crimes (explicitly defined by all anti-Jewish hate institutions e.g. the ADL)

Quote (Thor123422 @ Oct 12 2023 09:51pm)
They're incorporating Hamas imagery because they don't know the state of affairs so they assume Hamas = Palestine, and since Palestine is oppressed then Hamas must be freedom fighters.

I promise you it's stupidity, not anti-semitism.


Second you apologize for the terrorists by absolving them of sin by infantlizing them (a very transparent fallacy)

Quote (IceMage @ Oct 12 2023 10:01pm)
Do you realize how infantilizing you are being right now towards these people?

You mean the leaders of groups at Harvard and other elite colleges, or leaders of significant social groups like Black Lives Matter in Chicago, don't really know what's going on around the world? They don't have access to information? They know enough to put the hand glider on the BLM Chitown image, but do not understand that Hamas wasn't flying into a concert filled with only IDF soldiers?

You are a smart man Thor, but I believe you are wrong on this. These people have the brain power and the access to know that what they are saying is wrong. Much like Trump and his cronies regarding the attempt to steal the 2020 election, I don't care if they truly believe an absurd lie, they have the intellectual capability and the access to information to know they shouldn't believe or act on that nonsense.


Third you get rightly called out

Edit quoted wrong post.
