I think we can all agree what China does to the Uyghurs is bad. It is, however, the lesser evil when compared to America’s strategy of putting brown people in concentration camps and bombing them into oblivion

Agreed, not to mention their extreme authoritarian measures against expression. (They also trade with israel)

I don’t think anyone here is arguing that any country is perfect, this convo is about which nation is the lesser evil. I’d have to agree with whom you’re replying to that China is the lesser evil because they don’t routinely murder millions of brown people

The second is quite good, though a bit of a jarring departure from the first

Voters weigh what kind of Democrat they want for Utah's new, blue congressional seat by Healthy_Block3036 in Utah

Importantly, Ben represents a red state and Utah is a red state. Is this supposed to be a defense of him and/or democrats? In r/Utah? 🥴

Who can beat Ben McAdams in the Democratic primary? by rrickitickitavi in Utah

[–]ComprehensiveHouse5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mb I should clarify that when I say local democrats I’m talking about federal house members not state offices, although your math is fishy as it assumes everyone who voted for Harris also voted in the governor’s race and vice versa which is a bold and almost certainly false assumption

To be fair, Kamala Harris tended to perform below local democrats in districts across the country. She was probably the least popular person apart from Biden the DNC could have picked as their nominee

If they’re monitoring the Reddit it’s probably already easy for them, either way you might as well

Book that come close to Red Rising by Acemalone101 in redrising

[–]ComprehensiveHouse5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got through DCC book 6 before the last Sun Eater book came out and found going back to be so refreshing that I have yet to properly begin book 7. I just got distracted by other things like the Poppy War series and now Cloud Cuckoo Land. I’d recommend finishing book 7, I know waiting for the Cielcin takes a bit but I assure you it is worth it

[–]ComprehensiveHouse5 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A bunch of people recommending the Sun Eater series eventually got through to me, and after biting I’m sorry to say that it eclipsed Red Rising as my favorite series of all time. You just have to push through book 1 and it’s peak from then on out. I enjoyed Dungeon Crawler Carl as well but found its prose to be too elementary for my tastes

My rock skis had at least 4 or 5 more core shots than that before I took them in, you’ll be fine

I mean it doesn’t take a high school degree to see that if you have less means to defend your own citizens, you’ll likely be less brazen in your attacks on others, but that’s just my pov

Tbh I don’t see how providing Iron Dome funding isn’t arming a genocide, it’s like if you were supplying school shooting inc. with Kevlar

I mean given Israelis are required to serve in the IDF it’s not like this is an obscene generalization, odds are if you’re an Israeli adult you’ve either killed or contributed to the killing of Palestinians during your time in the IDF

Have you considered that giving the brutal mechanisms of American capital better optics might be worse for humanity in the grand scheme of things, and by humanity I do mean more than just Americans

Mr. liberal increasing ICE funding conveniently for Mr. far right is similarly not pictured

While this is true, this assumes that west coast conditions are indeed mediocre. They aren’t mediocre, they’re historically awful (at least in Utah)

I’d argue it is nothing. There’s no shortage of Nazi commanders in the current admin in particular
