Comment founder is a capitalist from Singapore (Score 1) 122

...not even China. Despite TikTok turning over "content moderation" (i.e. censorship) to the Feds in the US it's still not good enough for them. Either because they haven't completely merged with the deep state the way Google and Facebook have, because too many videos of Israeli atrocities are posted too quickly to nerf with the algorithmic hammer, or both.

This is a joke of a farce.

Nope. The Chinese Communist Party specifically targeted the US rare earth mining.

China hasn't targeted anyone with anything but cheap consumer goods and cheap well made infrastructure. West has been targeting itself with capitalist deindustrialization and American hegemony.

China will benefit from not have to comply with US labor and environmental standards.

Is the average salary in Detroit and associated factories $129k per year as it is at Huawei? Yeah that company makes phones not cars, but no reason the car workers couldn't make the same as their industry takes off. Market companies (which exist in socialist countries) vs capitalist companies. Like GM continuing to put faulty ignitions in their vehicles even as they knew they were killing people, because it save five bucks ever ten cars.

The alternative to the atomic bombs was a multi island invasion involving literally millions of soldiers on both sides that would have resulted in death on a scale comparable to the great slaughters of Mao, Hitler and Stalin.

Literally a bullshit tautology. Nations agree to stop fighting all the time without an "unconditional surrender." Japan explicitly emulated western colonialist powers like Britain who invaded almost the entire planet to exploit resources for a small island nation.

Who should have nuked London for the over 100 million Indians the Brits killed in India in half a century? Who should have nuked Washington DC for killing a million Filipinos when colonial America seized former colonies from colonial Spain?

Jordan (formerly Transjordan) is the Arab state carved out of the British Mandate of Palestine after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire.

You say that like it's supposed to mean something. Similar would be the US declaring the state for the Sioux/Iroquois/Mandan to be in Canada or Mexico.

The rest was designated as a Jewish homeland

Which no one had any business doing, as said Jews have no more ties to Palestine than you or I do to a slice of China if we convert to Confucianism. They are Europeans who converted to another religion. No different to how Latin America was (forcibly) converted to Catholicism. Doesn't mean they have a slice of Palestine as that's where Christianity also comes from.

Of course, every other party of the Ottoman Empire except Turkey itself is also now an Arab state.

You also say that like its supposed to mean something. Is it okay if all the Palestinian refugees - millions of them forced out by Israel - invade and cleanse Delaware of Americans because "so many other 49 American states?"

All you have to do to show the absurdity of Zionism by keeping the same reasoning but changing the variables.

In the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, one day after the modern state of Israel was created, it was invaded by the combined armies of Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen.

After better part of 750,0000 Palestinians were forced out of their own homes into said neighboring countries. Weird, how you expect "Israel's" neighbors to use their own land and resources to support your colonialism with zero compensation. Almost like you're a racist clown show.

Because it's impossible to write a definition of terrorism that doesn't place the US and Israel as the worst terrorists the world has ever seen, followed by Saudi Arabia.

Shock and Awe? Bush's torture program? Obama's drone fetish - bombing weddings and then bombing responding EMS? Israel bombing TF out of Gaza for a murder in the West Bank?

This is as much nonsense as the Five Eyes all spying on each others citizens and then sharing the ill gotten gains from their intel to get around domestic protections.

See also, "fusion centers" in the US where illegally obtained information is then laundered through local law enforcement. Like this trooper who shadowed and then pulled over and searched a vehicle for going 3mph under the speed limit:
