What I don't get is the people cheering for economic collapse. I mean, even if your jobs suck, wouldn't that make your situation much worse? Or do you think you'd be Immortan Joe instead of one of the skulls on his car?

I hear you, but my main concern is that my parents keep talking about getting farm land and I am terrified of digging the dirt 12 hours a day until the raiders/townsfolk rape and murder us all.
usually you only dig for like a week and then everything is planted. the rest of the time is spent not watering the plants because there's no water so you die from dehydration and or disease but probably mostly the disease

oh yeah it's absolutely in bad faith and the writers deserved to get dunked on for it, it's like calling a mixed race person in america a quadroon or something, just because it's old-timey and not in common parlance doesn't make it not racist as gently caress
This seems more like a pretext to kick out journalists than an actual reaction to racism.

This is the nazi douchebag that wrote the article. He wrote other such gems as "Beijing Will Give You Cold War Nostalgia" "‘Ukrainegate’—Treason or Common Sense?" and "Freedom Stages a Comeback - Even when officials push realpolitik, the U.S. remains a beacon of liberty to the world."

The three reporters they're booting out had nothing to do with the article, didn't endorse it or defend it.

Like by all means, boot out newspapers that platform racist assholes in their opinion section, but that's pretty much an excuse to boot out all press.

If Sanders is elected president and the People's Daily put out a hit piece using anti-semetic language from Nazi Germany in its headline, you don't think there'll be consequences?
If by consequences you mean kicking out People's Daily journalists covering the kids in cages on the US southern border under the pretext of outrage over an anti-semitic opinion piece, then no, there would not be consequences.

e:lmao

Squizzle posted:

if someone put out a post talking about how china was unprepared for an epidemic because of the rigid framework of confucian thought, do you think they would experience consequences??

sincx posted:

One could argue that, despite their different outwards political philosophy, at their cores the governments of the PRC, the Koreas, and Japan are still heavily influenced by Confucian ideals. Which is terrible for disaster response because a government designed around order and hierarchy is NOT able to respond quickly and creatively to fast-changing situations.
