The world would be a better place if everyone in the US treated these bigots and freaks as heavy handedly as Chinese citizens do

They do this by not labeling it a murder unless they find the murderer and enough evidence.

They also have a court system comically stacked in favor of the prosecution.

Handwriting analysis

Is a sketchy field on a good day. My handwriting would go to shit if I was banging something out moments before my death, one way or another.

Melania walks free and nobody on the federal bench is showing up in the East River with cement shoes

they’ve expended a significant part of the stockpiles

And they’re using supplies faster than they’re restocking. But they’re also running out of targets and slowly Iran’s capacity to fire ballistic missiles in kind.

So we get hysterical coverage of what is normal and expected changes in munitions to drive stone broader narrative of military resumes and whose to blame.

the US is runnig out of ammo

If I had a dollar for every time I read the “American military running out of ammo” story, I’d be richer than a Lockheed executive.

Americans are so easily gaslit on this shit. You can jump out behind a corner shouting “We don’t have enough tomahawk missiles!” and they’ll reflexively hand you $20B.

That’s Rubio getting his rocks off. Hegseth has less of a dog in the Cuban fight because he never clicked on it in a game of Crusader Kings.

Idk if the equations are different. The values are certainly different

Policies that are implemented through centralized, authoritarian, and undemocratic means can benefit the plurality

You’re describing a technocracy, which claims benefits on paper to defend policy that is generally unpopular and requires enormous policing to impose.

But Chinese policies are broadly popular and well received.

Those courts in china aren’t independent.

Independent of what?

What’s an example of an “independent judiciary” currently in practice?

This is unironically one of the advantages of centralized, authoritarian and undemocratic government

Policy that benefits the plurality at the demands of the working class are centralized, authoritarian, and undemocratic?

Most likely, you’re a white person

Robin DiAngelo in the chat, trying to make labor issues about race again

Keep in mind, China is not a place with binding rule of law.

Lolwhut?

Why does the Chinese government worry about sudden mass unemployment in a way Western governments do not?

This sounds like the VC money is running out

Nah. It sounds like they’re in the dump phase of the pump-and-dump.

And just like Uber, you’ll now have to pay a premium to use their service when it finally works.

But Uber still isn’t any more expensive than contemporary taxi rides (which were already exorbitant thanks to municipal cartelization and bad urban planning). These AI services aren’t a problem as a function of cost (OpenAI and Anthropic are still both giant pits of burning cash) they’re a problem as a function of… function. Like, every agent still needs a professional babysitter or three. The tech debt these features generate often outstrip their real business value. And the tail risks are enormous.

I hail an Uber, I get in the vehicle, I ride to my destination, I pay the fee. That’s no different than a taxi service in any meaningful sense save the interface.

I install an AI agent, I issue a command, <???>, uh… profit? Apparently I can now cancel my Sales Force subscription because now I’ve got eighteen thousand automagically generated Power BI reports blowing up my email using info from databases that got organically spun up on my Amazon account to do god even knows what? Hooray! Optimized!

100k East Asian tech workers, sure.

AI = Actually Indonesian

What we lack in quality we’ll make up in quantity, I’m sure.

Israel serves a vital US interest. It operates as an enormous money laundering operation, turning billions of dollars in “aid” into campaign donations for the next election cycle. Then it helps justify the next genocide of Arab and Persian peoples in a region rich with cheaply extract-able petrochemicals.

To quote America’s Greatest President

I think Americans believe we should be treating Russian oligarchs with the same casual murderous disdain as Venezuelan fishermen. Like, the war-brain of English-speaking human can only look at a situation and conclude “we’re not killing enough people”.

Easier to bring the pedos to Dubai than Dubai to the pedos at this point.
