I shared a flat with this guy at kibbutz el-rom in Israel for a month or so and this thread is exactly spot-on about his behaviors.

He's mid-twenties, getting his PhD in Biblical studies (like researching the accuracy of translations) and has had 3 girlfriends in his entire life.

After work he would come to the volunteer lounge and hop on the computer and play Cybernations all day and chat non-stop in IRC. At work he would bitch to me nonstop about how every other worker was lazy and useless and not to be trusted. Except that they were all good workers and not lazy. They were just from South America and Jeremiah HATES HATES HATES South Americans.

He would also talk to me at great length in great detail about his life. He was kicked out at 19 for playing too many video games by his mother. He still has not forgiven her for that. He loves Quebec and everything French because they make him feel better about himself and is an absolute human being.

I hated everyday living with him and I loving knew one day he would get his call out. gently caress you Jeremiah, everyone hates you

The racist double standard is well at play, western homeopathy enjoys legitimacy in WHO policy circles. When Chinese people want alternative medicine that caters to their needs included somehow it's an outrage

Usage of them is to be restricted, it says, to patients at approved hospitals with “critical” conditions or “difficult and complicated illnesses”. Private trade in those animals’ parts remains prohibited.

So pretty much instead of a total and it's still widely banned and parts can only be sourced from farmed animals or those that died of natural causes. Not sure what the outrage is coming from.

It didn't even matter that China banned trade in Rhino in 1993, white liberals kept on repeating the myth that chinese people were using it for their dick pills (a western use of rhino horn powder, not an eastern one) anyway.

Almost like the issue at play is the western hatred for China and not necessarily anything good or bad that happens there.

So, uh, was your plan that nobody actually read your source? The vast majority of all imported trophies are black bears from Canada. Rhinos are not anywhere in the top 20, so your source has nothing to say about the topic at hand.

Yeah American hunters only import 80k black bears a year, truly nothing like the savage Chinese and their *checks notes* 1,352 imports a year

The media loves to conflate all kinds of bullshit to drive an emotional response, the northern white rhino is functionally extinct but the southern variant has seen its numbers double from 11k to up to 21k from 2001. It's not even considered endangered anymore, which is why the article is careful to not mention that the animal is specifically endangered, or else they would have to address the uncomfortable question about why rich american hunters are shooting them and putting those videos up on youtube for everyone to view.

Amazon Social Credit Ratings available to lenders and landlords starting 2020.

Second, many Western media stories overstate the level of public and government consensus over the pilot programs, especially when applying scoring systems to social affairs. Right now, there are over two dozen local government pilot scoring programs, each with different types of grading systems, and a few commercial programs as well. The point of pilot programs is to explore boundaries.

Western media tells breathless lies and then quietly walks it back in an article nobody will read.

That business insider story is pretty good, because I thought the social credit smears were getting walked back in favor of other smears:

Into the Black Mirror: The Truth Behind China’s Social Credit System



quote:

Many in the media mistake Sesame Credit’s private, third party service for being the Chinese government’s entire SCS. In the past, reports have variously claimed that the system is mandatory, government-run, and that every citizen will soon be scored based on all aspects of their life. But the reality at present is that the effect of one’s Sesame Credit score is entirely confined to whether one does or does not receive perks on partnering services.


Pure evil, how could the celestials do this?

quote:


Almost every administrative agency in the Chinese government has already created their own industry-specific blacklist, each with their own standards for who is put onto it. One example Daum gives is of the food safety blacklist, which subjects blacklisted companies to greater scrutiny and an increased number of inspections.

“The development of blacklists really is just identifying certain people who violated existing laws and regulations,” says Daum, “and the documents say that these blacklists are to be designed on the foundation of existing regulations.”

Again, how could the celestials do this?


quote:

Daum says he believes the fascination many have with the SCS, particularly in the U.S., is embedded in their cultural psyche. Shows such as Black Mirror and other cultural objects popularized the idea of being rated on everything, then China introduced a system with a name that fit the idea.

Almost like Americans are fascists who go and project their own fascism everywhere else.

that assumes that the US wants to set up bases in Taiwan to begin with. while i'm sure the DMV goon crew is up for more colonial misadventure, I doubt Ma and Pa Midwest would be thrilled to have their children serve as meatshields in yet another country
