If that was the case, could have done it when Trump was in office because China was already doing it then, but Congress didn't want it and media screeched holy hell as apparently China wasn't evil.
It's an election year, Russia is holding out in Ukraine, Israel is losing their narrative over the Gaza situation, users are moving away from the major social media honeypots, and the Congress critters are pissing their pants post-pandemic about how much people are seeing the bullshit. With all the context, this isn't about choking China's influence and giving it back to them, it's because the government doesn't have full control over the flow of information on the US portion of the Internet. They're giving themselves a way in.
Everything hinges on the way "foreign entity" is constructed
That's where some people are being dumb about supporting this bill. When every branch of government loves to distort the English language, any term that is nebulous becomes a possible avenue for them to exploit the law in their favor
It is the literal definition of a centrally planned and administered economy
Which bridges multiple government ideologies and is not exclusive to communism. Just because government stooges are in the positions of running the company, doesn't automatically make it communist.
To my understanding, there is no element of nationalism in-facing nor out-facing in communism. Only when they can't run the economy anymore does that change.
That's my issue with the TikTok stuff even when Trump tried to handle it after Congress balked at tariffs. China needs to be shut out on all sectors of influence.
As much as Apple is a nasty global corporation, the subversive Chinese are always trying to get more of a foothold in US markets where they can maximize their profit while fucking over our systems for control. Epic is one of these public-facing wedges that's causing the biggest stink. The Chinese economy is a fascist-style protectionist command economy: no one is allowed to do business within China except with national citizens and their shell companies, while the CCP (not really communist anymore) gets a slice, or maybe all, of the profit since all of their "citizens" are propertyassets of the state. This here is really about Tencent not being able to completely dominate the gaming market, and both parties involved deserve Exterminatus
Parents wealthy enough to move to a better district or to homeschool their kid meant less money for the school district
Move to another district yes, homeschool no. Depending on the state or town you live in, your property taxes to your city/town is still subsidizing the local public schools (because those taxes go in a large pot) even if they're just indoctrination daycares that don't teach much. It's not necessarily choking them like dropping out should.
Friedman's solution of having only those families who use the school pay, along with voucher systems could work far better with the right kind of population in a district, maybe with the town taxes maintaining upkeep of the facilities.
I think he's the same one who used to just purge his entire account every few weeks and make a new one, but has settled on this current one.
I'm seeing some of these asshole colonist whiners also abusing a clearly mistranslated proverb about samurai and "black blood". I'm willing to bet that it's actually about having "tainted blood" because the word/kanji for the color "black" can have other, idiomatic meanings to it depending on the compound it's applied to, ranging from "dark/evil" to "tanned". But just like the shit that happened with GG Strive or other localizer trash, don't put it past them to intentionally mistranslate something to push their agenda.
It'd have been nice if OP Danube just had taken a few seconds to find a source instead of copying a picture found on another board here. Judging by the archive, the screenshot doesn't seem to be their own, if there was a ten hour difference from the time on the source to the time I found the tweet. I'm less forgiving here because no one had posted about it yet, so there was no race to relay the news
If it bothers you that much that you're calling for the death of other users, ask Dom to do something about changing the rules.
Otherwise pound sand.
You sure they aren't sending them to stop people from doing the police's job?
Tell me how the secular world is rational now that it is free from religion?
Not really rational, but it's demonstrated that the average human being is so incapable of virtue and so animalistic, that they probably do need an Argumento ab Deus code of morals imparting unto them the fear of eternal damnation (Christianity) or civilzation suffering the wrath of the Gods (any polytheistic religion, and something the Abrahamic God hasn't done for centuries now), in order to keep society stable. It speaks volumes about "God's creation".
Yeah, how many more coincidences do we need?
The COVID pandemic already up there with JFK's murder and 9/11, for too many things happening conveniently for the Deep State/TPTB and intelligence agencies.
I haven't watched many of his videos, but he seemed less doompilled than a lot of "enjoy the collapse" RPers from nearly decade ago.
And from the few videos I've seen, he does seem to understand quite a bit of the core RP, but he slides a bit into purple. I do respect his belief on the sexes having variations of false perceptions when judging the other sex. But part of his take on the effort required in a relationship seems to be a bit skewed. Higher SMV can allow for less effort required and he does point out the whole women going for above their SMV, but his suggested solution of parity for relationships is bogus when women probably will never settle for that until they splat on the wall or already have mid-low SMV.
The whole "rock against the tides"/holding frame aspect women seek and test for seems missing from his colorful diagrams too (I caught glimpses of shit testing on one of the diagrams that he whizzes by sometimes) But again I haven't seen all his videos.
Andrew Tate is a definitely a grifter who doesn't actually understand, he just has enough wealth to seem like a PUA Chad.
JP is Purple Pill. He has very little to do with the manosphere and has been dragged into it by false association. Never listen to man with an N count of 1 for advice on women.
There are core ideas to the Red Pill shared throughout the manosphere but there's different methodologies for internalizing and making use of this information. It also really depends on who you receive the information from (Rollo, Chateau, HoeMath, trp.red etc), and can distort one's view on a possible solution to problems of modern society.
The "prescription" you're describing is the PUA/game answer to how to go about navigating the SMP, probably the oldest variant of the "solution" I'm aware. It's gained the most traction for desperate men trying to get some nookie. And the traditionalist response to this happening is just typical Purple Pill pilpul. I would argue the men doing this spinning stuff just don't care, and you won't be able to shame them out of it.
Some take the RP and "go their own way", just drop out of the game completely. Some of these are incels that are just giving up, others are those that actually have gotten some before and are just tapping out.
Selfishness breeds hustlers
Never give to a society that doesn't give back
Based on Google Calendar's markings -

February - Kang Month

March - Wahmen's month

May - Asian-Pacific Month (like... why?)
-
June - Faggotry month

September 15- October 15 - Meso-South American Month (they say "Hispanic", but we know what they really mean. Also gotta start mid-month, neocommies can't disrupt the sanctity of Labor Day)

November - "American Indian" Month
Keep every possible major tribe within the US in their separate buckets so we can't push back together against the elites stealing and controlling everything. Also notice they don't really touch the months with major cultural holidays that Edjuhmacators benefit from (July, Independence Day; December, Christmas)
Snowden's leaks revealed that we were spying on all major Euro politicians. To say that the CIA is manipulating European elections/leaders through bribes or propaganda (or coercion) isn't surprising.
I think a lot of drones in the legal field clearly don't know, given all the garbage that crops up now in the courts
So what the crazy AG is doing she literally has no jurisdiction over and this is just posturing?
Or through user input nudging
DeepL at one point allowed user correction, doesn't seem like they have it now. But the longer the service has existed and been "corrected", it's gotten both better and worse with reading Japanese. It can handle half-width kana, but if you don't give it a period at the end of the sentence it could distort the whole response it gives.
If you want Nintendo to come a-knockin', make money off of your piracy.
Honestly, applies in many similar situations. There's fair use to a certain extent, but profiting off of possible theft is guaranteeing yourself a lawsuit.
What set the rot in motion was already passed into our laws before, safe to say, most of us on this forum were born. To say we deserve it, is like blaming those aware of what's going on for not dropping their livelihoods to be martyrs and sacrifice themselves through violence and bloodshed to try and stop it (which at this point can give those in power an excuse to be tyrants, if one's nation is clearly lost already)
Rational and responsible humans don't deserve what the sheep and their masters agree to foist upon everyone, but such is human history since the last Ice Age; quite a number of dumb animals with power who shouldn't have it, fighting over resources and control of mankind
Look, there are cases where it's obvious (bullying/harming small animals, angry outbursts) but there's no guarantee if a teenager is going to lash out violently. If evidence was found that makes sense where he was exhibiting violent behavior multiple times in a pattern and then they gave him a gun (or he had one and they didnt take it away from him), fine, charge the parents and put them in jail. But if the parents or those interacting with kid didn't see it, then you can't say they "ignored" it.
I can't absolutely blame the parents if the kid appeared normal enough to have a gun, then he suddenly snapped and killed others. Because at that point it seems like pearl clutching from gun grabbers.
