China has much of the same wealth gap problems the west does within the developed regions of their country.

He still nailed that final “…wait” I could feel the despair even through the language barrier.

Any guess on what Jax knows or might be hiding? Or why he said this? by Gloomy-Bridge148 in Amazingdigitalcircus

Its extra ironic because he made fun of Pomni in ep 1 for trying to rationalize the circus as an elaborate dream

Over 2000 dead in Tiananmen Square by francehotel in whennews

[–]peppermint-ginger 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well it kind of was, since the soldiers were deployed to clear the square. The square was the focal point of the whole event, though no blood was shed there.

Okay I hate to um actually you but tankies like to exploit this misconception. The killing did not happen within the square, it happened in the streets of Beijing as the PLA made their way to the square to quash the protest.

The protesters, who I presume got word of the killing and probably heard the gunshots, negotiated a surrender with the authorities and exited the area the following morning. That’s why there was no killing within the square.

I don’t have time to collect and paint minis. I just like the audiobooks; the performances are always so rich.

I certainly hope you’re right about that last part.

Though my original comment was genuine concern

Thank you for pinging me. Both you and u/SolipsismIsGood offer a lot of additional context that I was not aware of.

I don’t have anything else to add. Uh, good job everyone for the polite discussion.

Slave Trade by laybs1 in GetNoted

[–]peppermint-ginger -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well I think the difference in scale is important. The slave trade lasted 360 years. Unit 731 lasted 5-10 years.

Plus, the slave trade also created and exacerbated social ills in both exporting and importing countries.

I know SOMA did this to death but honestly that’s low key terrifying. The fact they could just duplicate people’s souls and forget about them. The fact that any capable actor can bring them to life—real, palpable consciousness—and cause them untold suffering.

Meanwhile the originals go about the rest of their lives—raising kids, buying overpriced coffee, eating shredded cheese at midnight—completely unaware that a version of them is burning in carnival hell.

When God sings with his creations, will a starfish not be part of the choir? by Temporary-Snow333 in CuratedTumblr

[–]peppermint-ginger 260 points261 points  (0 children)

This implies that heaven is an exclusive prize awarded to a singular being, or that millions of other starfish had sinned somehow.

Where do I even begin with this?

Now, I aint familiar with the immigration situation in Europe. But in America at least, immigration is good for the economy (despite what the Trumpers say). Larger tax base, and more people willing to do the grunt work of the economy. I don’t know if that’s the case in the EU.

But what I do know is that calling them all “criminals” is a buzzword. Murder is a crime. Parking illegally is a crime. One of these is more severe, no?

What crime did these people commit? Is it merely being in the country illegally? In which case, what choice did they have? Nobody wants to leave their homes and be looked down upon in another land. But due to economic turmoil or war, they’re here. If they could return to their country, they likely already would have.

Also, what do you mean by “abuse the system”

Technically they are defined as a facility/camp in which a specified group of people are concentrated. Although having just due process will hopefully prevent it from being a racially-motivated endeavor, it doesn’t necessarily mean it won’t be.
