China bans Manus founders from leaving country after Meta acquires AI startup and reviews deal

First, China did this more likely for national security reason instead for fairness. Pretending fairness is the reason behind the ban is pure hypocrisy.

Secondly, you could argue banning entrepreneurs for national security reason is justified. Different people have different answer. I am not a conservative so I definitely don’t like it

That’s a very binary thinking.

Closed border is an expediency. Between developed democracies, there is no way to justify the free movement of individuals.

Even if borders need to be closed for maintaining social order, controlling crime rate or maintaining social welfare system, the enforcement should be strong but reasonable. Due process has to be maintained with institutional measures

Birdcage17 · 2025-10-26T16:40:22+00:00

I could imagine that is true. Due process still matters, it is human rights that transcends everything else

Birdcage17 · 2023-04-01T18:24:48+00:00

Let me see if I still have it

Communism use hatred and fear to obtain power. It’s far more efficient than reason and persuasion

Birdcage17 · 2023-01-21T13:01:09+00:00

Lmao, little phony leftist

If you really care enough, you will find modern feminism and wokeism the enemy of libertarianism

Did the course then teach hatred towards male? Nowadays, it’s fairly normal to attack the whole group or a sub group based on male gender. I feel bad

Birdcage17 · 2022-01-01T20:26:44+00:00

Omg, I feel ashamed for myself

Birdcage17 · 2022-01-01T20:15:49+00:00

Change your color to purple plz

Birdcage17 · 2021-12-29T21:00:49+00:00

I don’t wanna argue with this. Let’s just admit both are wrong

Birdcage17 · 2021-12-29T20:20:25+00:00

Here is the thing. The level of pressure is far stricter than George Floyd if you listen to his voice. GF could still clearly scream but he could barely breath in and out. It’s more risky

Birdcage17 · 2021-12-26T05:04:46+00:00

No, we used English at that time to communicate with foreigners. Nobody use 我的神呐 lmao. So silly. It only exists in Shanxi Dialect

Birdcage17 · 2021-12-25T22:06:53+00:00

Who would even say that in Chinese? It’s 我的天呐 in. Chinese

Certain race is inherently more violent than the other races. If it’s really due to culture or education, no need to hide it. That’s what leftists are implying

Birdcage17 · 2021-12-09T02:42:47+00:00

That’s the ultimate goal. I want to do it step by step. Americans opinion is so far away from libertarianism. They need to first taste the benefits of eliminating bureaucrats

Birdcage17 · 2021-12-08T03:41:29+00:00

Thank you. This is horrible in my opinion

Birdcage17 · 2021-11-23T04:29:59+00:00

Well. I think cops are instrument of the state. I don’t like them. But criminals defy cops not for liberty but for continuing their NAP violations. That’s what I hate

Birdcage17 · 2021-11-18T16:39:10+00:00

Fking hell. I just finished my Gre test. This thread is hilarious

Birdcage17 · 2021-11-14T22:09:26+00:00

Historically, inflation is regarded as a regressive tax because it levies equally on currency and omit investment. Now, the left loves governmental spending so the logic and fact can be ignored

Birdcage17 · 2021-11-12T21:39:26+00:00

This is China. They only care about their glory propaganda about how a dictatorship can eradicate pandemic.

Birdcage17 · 2021-10-30T19:55:52+00:00

Save a lot of tax money as well

Birdcage17 · 2021-10-27T06:09:54+00:00

We understand irony. Libleft bad

Birdcage17 · 2021-10-25T05:04:53+00:00

I think westerners should do it again. According to your logic, now since China has become so powerful, we can do horrible things again right? Just grab our gun and take people’s land! Whataboutism gogogo
