But you can imagine how that seems, to anyone from any flavor of western democracy, including social democrats and democratic socialists…
If the party officials are having closed door discussions on who will lead, the mandate of the masses seems obscured, or absent.
If xi’s popularity took a nose dive, how would the common citizen express their opinion? On what schedule? If the “elected” officials strongly favored keeping xi, but the citizenry strongly favored large leadership change, how would that occur?
I am asking, I am ignorant. I’m not JAQ I’m literally asking the question.
I have not heard of a minority but competitive party in China, or heard of any leading, but not succeeding candidate that has attempted to run/win.
From my western perspective, I’ve only ever heard of loud critical voices in the Chinese political sphere “disappearing” for “education” or similar.
I acknowledge my position (western media influenced), but have never heard of a single actual competitor to xi
Have realistic elections been happening? If not, what legitimate gauge do we have on xi’s popularity?
“we ran out of tater tots, uncle Frank is making a scene”
I can’t even remember all the words to my favorite songs. How do people have the time
I just go along these random conversations
“No I’m bring chili”
The article is terrible. What actually happened? Was his violence actually unprovoked or was it self defense? It says some shit about him being surrounded and liquid thrown on him.
Violence is never appropriate, except in self defense.
If he wasn’t defending himself this is probably a hate crime, and he should have the book thrown at him.
Edit ah, the other comment linked article indicates he started things by trading insults with the group. So he walked into the situation.
Fuck what Israel is doing to Palestine. This dude should have just walked away in the first place.
If there is video of them pushing him down and surrounding him, then it’ll be a messy case.
That is not gaslighting holy shit
I’m sorry, can you highlight anything from this story that aligns with the definition of “gaslighting”? I’m sure you looked up the definition and examples before you typed out this post
Cold sweats are chill
It’s important to remember that what was before is not now.
Saying it’s all the same is disrespectful to what was taken
Meh, ask it whatever, require it cite it’s source, then go follow up and verify for yourself
Essentially the joke everyone made about nfts.
Huh? It’s not my jam but in their story everyone seems to know what’s going on and consented. What’s wrong with that?
Disclaimer: I am not holding or promoting the following.
But the meme is “if you’re gonna eat a sandwich, you’d like it better if someone hadn’t fucked it first”
I think the core of the meme revolves around possession. Seeing the “sandwich” as something to attain, and possess, and consume. Indeed, I would not like someone to fuck my lunch. But a person has an independent life where their value is certainly not graded in such a way. ( Or any way, in this context)
If you are obsessed with taking something pure, and only having your influence on it, for all time, then the virgin thing matters.
Nissan leafs and toyota Prius have been around in big numbers for more than a decade.
It’s the enshitiffication that all modern cars are doing: cramming way too much tech into something that is for moving people around, not entertaining them
If you.put.this shit on your car, chances are you don’t manage.
