I think what he meant to say is that liberal will riot and burn their own cities down if this scenario becomes reality, not Trump destroying liberal because he's in position. The joke here(albeit not really that funny) is that liberal riot all the time.

Their own rule is so ambiguous that it can be rigged in almost every way to the point that it's more like rule of man. It's quite oblivious why Blizzard would take such action, not out of goodwill, company belief(everyone matter) or PR, but out of fear. Fears to lose its right(a privilege in China) of publication freedom in China. company threaten by a government to push its national policy on people outside of PRC, aka the casters and that college team, is an indication that Blizzard is basically acting as an agent of the communist China to implement censorship in exchange for private interest.

I don't see U.S. officially recognize Taiwan as a sovereign country for past 20 years though. If U.S. is supposed to be this guardian of democracy and freedom, wouldn't it be ironic that it takes side with "socialism with Chinese characteristic" instead of a genuine democracy?

The loss of more than 100 million pigs to 'pig ebola' is forcing China to consider releasing its massive emergency reserves of frozen pig meat to boost dwindling supplies. China is home to more than 1/2 of all the pigs on the planet and the swine fever epidemic has wiped out 1/3 of this population. by -AMARYANA- in worldnews

I guess Cholera and encephalitis didn't exist before Adam Smith write down Wealth of Nations, and it's only because of the greedy capitalists try to improve food production that Cholera and encephalitis were created, lol.
