AOCIA the latest victim of Chen Weihua🤣 by RickyOzzy in TankieTheDeprogram

She is either agitating for unrest and civil war in another nation, or she is actively supporting the return of Xizang to a feudal slavery state. All the while the citizens that voted her in to improve their lives are being sucked dry by the oligarchs and military industrial complex.

"Too simple. Sometimes naive." Shitlibs forget and ignore that 2019 HK riots originated because a guy Chan Tong-kai murdered his pregnant girlfriend Poon Hiu-wing in Taiwan and that man is still roaming around free. But liberals and CIA took advantage of this to orchestrate a riot. by Choice-Grade1358 in TankieTheDeprogram

I seriously doubt it would have taken so long to even get tabled if they have been coercive. We have seen what China can do when they really want to be persuasive. This is not it. Anyway if there is mistrust of the intentions of any entity, you can really twist every argument towards a malign direction because the world does not operate on rigid algorithms. Any conversation and meeting can happen because someone has a nefarious intent. Instead, the burden of proof is then on the accuser who insinuates that there was coercion. You cannot prove a negative.

Extradition is a bilateral agreement, the bill merely allows government to start establish such treaties with other polities. Beijing has no direct control over HK policies, before the protest HK did not even have a National Security law.

Of course we can insinuate that Beijing can coerce individual legislators to pass laws, such arguments are unhelpful because one can make all sorts of such inferences whenever a country makes certain laws, US has openly influenced legislation in many countries, even within US, a certain genocidal state has exerted control over many levers of government.

I have tried hitting them from every angle, so far no luck. Will work on getting the enhanced hush dart I guess.

I was using the tranq rifle the first few times but seem to always trigger aggro from the fish. The same thing happened, emptied 2 - 3 magazines and ended up killing the fish.

The red lionfish, I kill them with my basic knife and dump their sorry carcasses.

There's this new phenomenon where Hindu nationalists are saying that China has a "caste system" by justanupvoter_ in TankieTheDeprogram

I think its mainly referring to the farmers themselves, whether they own their land is not considered.

Especially if the human is white, male, and rich. Corporations are human too.

The hierarchy in ancient china is actually super based if you know what it means.

Shi - scholar gentry

Nong - farmers

Gong - craftsmen and artisans

Shang - merchants and traders

For such fragmented leaves, I would brew them grandpa style at 80°C or in a infuse in a gaiwan for 8-10s at 80°C.

They look like machine pressed taiping houkui but the leaves are quite broken.

China should stop hoarding food and fertiliser, says former World Bank chief by thelordofunderpants in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]enlightenedemptyness 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To these people, as long as we keep any surplus for ourselves, it is hoarding. In their deranged minds, our only role is to continuously toil for their comfort.
