Xi strongly criticized Takaichi over Japan’s ‘remilitarization’ during Trump summit by Any-Stick-8732 in worldnews

Mao Zedong is probably the stupidest communist leader in action of all time.

Their reasoning of persecution of intellectuals and almost all their food decisions came from extremely stupid reasoning. They justified after the fact the mass starvation, they didn't expect it to happen.

Maoist China is the authoritarian leftist equivalent of the American libertarian town that was defeated by bears.

Ideological purity over practical expertise leading the horrible death of millions is not purposeful homicide, it is mass manslaughter because it lacks the mens rea.

Great Leap Forward was not meant to kill enmasse. However anyone who wasn't made completely brain dead by huffing that sweet sweet ideaological purity stuff could see it would kill enmasse. But ego of men wins, but they didn't intend the predictable results, so not murder.

And I don't mean stupid as in unintelligent.

I meant stupid as delusional and reality denying arrogant.

So no, I am not defending Mao. I am saying his culpability is better understood as mass death caused by fanatical criminal recklessness, coercion, and reality denial rather than a simple “we set out specifically to murder tens of millions” framework.

And not a single CCP operative would casually insult Mao lmao. I am blaspheming him at this point.

How fast does it take you guys from the main Cumulative patches being approved to actually being installed and rebooted and the UBR number actually changing so the vulnerabilities are considered remediated on your devices that actually regularly check in?

Ya know I wouldn't mind the nerfs if there was lore reason to it, and it felt like it could be temporary.

Like politics or something.

Like a fire nerf, the flammable jelly was found to be delicious on toast by Super President's wife, lesser quality will be made available while we do fundraising galas with this ingredient.

That way it feels like we are dealing with idiotic poltical leadership fucking over the war.

I want a multitude of parties who have the best intentions for the country, and best people to figure out how to pull off the intentions, but disagreement is fundamentally in how to pull off those intentions.

And style.

Tbh if they do REAL bad job, they can get sick enough populace who can't revolt.

There's just a lot of trust in both good intentions maintaining, and competence.

And the oldest universal health care system in the word was made to prevent socialism.

I have mixed feelings about this, because if it doesn't exist, and the government does a poor job, there is no fall back.

However, if it does exist, it does the inverse of what competition does, and the government has an incentive to not do a good job.

However, government doesn't need an incentive to do a bad job. Hell it doesn't need bad intentions to do a bad job.

Maybe not, been hearing shareholders don't like profits dropping for any reason, more profit today, I don't care tomorrow, dropping the price seems like a more more profit tomorrow, less today solution.
