Because it is not what the original, slave owning, Rome worshiping, racist, misogynist, aristocratic “founders” would have wanted. How does the council know it’s not what they would have wanted? The scientific, empirical process of time-traveling mind reading, of course!

FWIW, Nakoichi apologized on an Alt account, took responsibility, and expressed the desire to touch grass, because online was becoming too important.

Hey cool, this is exactly what happened in the years leading up to the French Revolution of 1789. When people were starving, they ended up attacking grain/food shipments and just stealing them.

Thank you, serves me right for relying on mainstream lib-news for any issue related to China.

From what I’ve seen, and I might be wrong, it seems like Chine backed down this week and gave America everything it wanted for nothing but a small decrease in tariffs.

This can be true or false, but it entirely depends on the specific society you are talking about. For example, in China today, I do not think racism is the “primary contradiction,” although it certainly does exist. The decisions that the Communist Party has to make in regards to going along with global capitalism or pushing to expand socialism internally and externally are the primary contradiction in China now.

You would need about $10 billion to do that. That’s four entire years worth of Doctors Without Borders funding. IMO, not a good use of limited resources…

Well having a lot of smaller musicians be able to support themselves through their music would make the music industry healthier. That does not stop streaming services and concert vendors from extorting bands for every single penny.
