  • socialism with Chinese characteristics

    It’s literally the same functional mechanics as free market capitalization EXCEPT that the state owns a part of every company. The people don’t. The state does. And only uses it for authoritarian control, which is the Chinese characteristic. China is functionally a capitalist market with state owned companies.

    If China controlled the 3rd party companies in the country then maybe it could be construed as socialist but they own nothing about Apple or NVidia yet billions of dollars flow through them. China is an open market that uses subsidies to offset poor management in those companies. Basically the same thing America did to failing companies in 2008 (looking at you GM).







  • It takes some reflection to ask how, in a country that has banned guns, a shooting spree can happen. All the normal critics who cry for banning guns are quiet because their only solution clearly doesn’t fucking work.

    Normalize mental health care and broaden access to services, psych eval requirements to be licensed for gun ownership, MEDIA REFORM that make sure language and content are reflective of reality to prevent emotional people making life choices for others.

    These are the changes that will fix society and how people are fed information to be tricked into stochastic terror. That pair did not commit this crime in a vacuum. They did this because they were pushed to feel this way by the information they had available.
