China is quite possibly less authoritarian than Western governments. All states have and use authority. Better it’s used for the citizens’ housing, health, food, transportation needs than Elon and Bezos.

Edit: also while discussing authoritarianism, perhaps check the thread title and read the article. This is what Western authoritianism is for and spends.

Did I miss where it said she was using heroin? I saw “selling.”

What’s wild is blind hatred based on everything I just listed.

No it’s the relatively tiny amount of superwealthy that actually and actively tell politicians how far left/right they can move. The deep state is real, the Business Plot families won, and as education was defunded and dumbed down as a steady drip-drip-drip, along with the infamous proverbial “memory hole” and keeping people too busy to dig for credible information rather than what mass media serves like drive through fast crap called “food” has made people lazy and complacent while fancying themselves “informed.”

So check your assumptions, right?

It’s CPC, and China does a lot right. But people would rather keep CIA narratives than actually learn. Finally, because someone can acknowledge what another nation has done and is doing doesn’t make them “far left.” Western people have been prodded so far right, so slowly that the collective memory of what US “right” and “left” is*, the common purview is anything left of Reagan is “far left.”

Added a word.

Holy shite, you’ve finally gone full mask off!

Hassan Piker is only far left if you’re far right.

Yep. I said:

Uncle Jim! You should’ve offered more than platitudes and throwing progressives under the bus and maybe your constituents would help you out. Also Tim Scott?!

Pedophilia is no respecter of any demographic. It’s a serious mental illness and a serious public health issue, mental and otherwise. Oligarchy just means it’s easier to pay off the people who would segregate pedofiles from society until intensive treatment and proscribed legal remedies are met.

Of course. And the crown wealth is a symbol that signifies varying specific things to various people. Removing the ambiguity by returning the wealth in these symbols to those from whom they were strong -arm robbed is necessary for healing, both the robbed and the robbers.

It takes both.

Bahraini scholars have called on Islamic authorities and organizations worldwide to intervene amid the ruling regime’s crackdown on the country’s Shia community.

The scholars issued an urgent appeal regarding the existential threat to Shias and the broader Muslim identity in Bahrain.

They called on the Grand Ayatollahs, seminaries, and Islamic institutions to stand in solidarity with the Bahraini people and scholars in order to protect their religious freedom, faith, and identity.

They also denounced a recent campaign of arrests in Bahrain targeting senior Shia clerics and jurists who have dedicated their lives to teaching Islamic jurisprudence and maintaining social cohesion.

The true intent behind the arrest campaign is to “paralyze Islamic outreach, disrupt the religious infrastructure, and create a spiritual vacuum within society,” the scholars said.

The abductions are not spontaneous actions, but part of a pre-planned project seeking to “marginalize, weaken, and dismantle the scientific and social structures” of the Shia community in the Persian Gulf Arab country, they added.

Hence “beginning.”
