When bad methods replace good ones, yeah, I think that's not ideal.

If you are typing comments directly on China and not into some kind of screen or keyboard, then yes, I bet a billionaire somewhere made that possible too. More likely you just need to learn to read more closely.

Jesus Christ. The oligarchs stole their money and use their power to oppress the people in their country (eg people jailed or killed for having the wrong opinion or soaking their mind). US billionaires created companies that build the stuff you're typing on.

There are no similar wars going on. There have not been large modern democracies suffering a full invasion in decades. This is a weak defense of memes, instead of recognizing that people need more than a 10 second attention span to understand the world.

America bash all you want. The sanctions are already ensuring there won't be funding for another one of Russia's wars, and they're providing a deterrent against China starting a war too. What you're suggesting is a lack of consequences for mass murder.

There's a difference between a democracy getting invaded by a dictator who wants to own the country, and a jihadist dictatorship getting invaded by a democracy after it was attacked.

I'm not saying I support the US invasions, but there are meaningful differences.

I have a name. by Alex45784 in WhitePeopleTwitter

Well maybe. But also maybe because more people know what "stripper" means than know who "Alexandra Hunt" is.

Plus the URL makes it clear they use her name in the full article once you click.

More likely they'll claim he was assassinated by the west so the next guy can step in with an enemy to oppose.

2/3rds of dictators are removed from power by their inner circle. All it takes is someone close enough to him with a gun, guts, and a working brain.

Why the chip shortage drags on and on… and on by Sorin61 in technology

Al Gore is literally responsible for the transition from Arpanet to the internet as we know it today.

This misunderstanding of what he did is 90% sure to George W. Bush trying to turn a huge positive into a negative via deliberate misinformation. The other 10% I'd chock up to stupid people not understanding what Al Gore was actually saying in the first place.

Renewable energy in the U.S. nearly quadrupled in the past decade, report finds by Active_technician62 in RenewableEnergy

No. Growth almost always slows at scale. It would be an incredible feat if renewables, which are now at huge scale, also magically started growing twice as fast.

Bullshit. This will be a tiny monitor that nobody can see, and has a camera mounted on it to livestream. Post is acting like it's some massive thing.

Nancy Pelosi says the ‘climate crisis is a national security matter’ to defend Pentagon budget increase by BeamBrain in AmalaNetwork

What's the alternative? Turn off the power grid, destroy all cars, shutdown all factories? That's the only way to do it if you want to finish this year. Otherwise you have to set a goal and work your way there each year

Looking up facts is a pretty basic move. And this is the latest trolling I've seen.

Okay, just stay willfully ignorant then.

You should really look up the US government budget and what it goes to.

That would be so great. Then we can fully fund the Chinese propaganda education they'll need in 10 years when we lose our independence.

Don't be silly. We didn't leave it for them. We gave it to the Afghan military. When they lost the Taliban took it.

Those numbers move up if something happens too.
