Something to think about: he showed that even a person as crippled as he was physically could have strengths in other fields that would make it profitable for entirety of human kind to invest massively into keeping him alive.
It makes for an interesting statement on value of human life itself.
Because it's a well documented historic fact. Look up what happened in 1942 for example. Bangladeshi Muslims were basically the British weapon of conquest against native Burmese Buddhists supported by Japanese.
And then Brits pulled out as Japanese defeated them at the time
Current mess is geopolitically likely an anti-Chinese move. OBOR needs exits to the maritime lanes that bypass potential naval blockade of Straight of Malacca. Rakhine is one of these exits. Pumping up the Muslim insurgency against Buddhists was clearly supposed to destabilize the region to prevent it. But the "Nobel peace laureate" of the West decided she wasn't going to be the puppet after she got in power and allowed army to counter the insurgency all out. After all, Burma was her state now and her Western sponsors were too invested in her to truly harm her.
Except I said no such thing. I said that company being Singapourean doesn't mean it isn't tightly connected to China. But good luck with your desperate trolling.
Interesting correction. It is possible that I found out about it later, because when I first visited it, it seemed like a fairly upbeat pro-Trump grass roots gathering.
And you're back to behaving like an asshole, flinging shit out of context in hope some of it will stick. I guess redemption is not on the books for you. Unfortunate considering that you were quite capable of intelligent discussion at the beginning.
Are you a supporter of blank slate stupidity, or are you going to play the "race has a scientific definition and therefore common parlance usage does not make it a race" card?
1. You're completely wrong on China's ethnic situation. Han are nowhere close to 99.999% 2. "Hypothetical" black person? Are you suggesting that African gastarbeiters and African envoys of various types are "hypothetical people" and not actual real living people? 3. US system can and does convict rich people for the same crimes as poor people, using the same legal code. If you knew anything about the history, you'd know that this is a very novel invention in humanity, where traditionally aristocratic class live under both de facto and de jure different legal code. Which also applies in China.
Considering that literally every single point you made is factually wrong, are you sure you want to try to continue flinging shit in hopes that some of it will stick? Because all it does is show the depth of your ignorance on the subject.
Correct. And if that actually happened, he'll go to jail. That is how modern Western justice system works for everyone. Doesn't need to be the cop or the dad. We have consequences for certain criminal actions, and when said criminal actions are committed, there's legal redress for the victims.
It's the best humanity has had by the huge margin.
Alternative view: rent controls kept the lid on the worst abuses, but were insufficient to tackle the problem because they weren't harsh enough.
Evidence: rent control schemes working elsewhere. Primary measure of effectiveness is strictness of the rules in relation to overheating of the market. In this case, they're clearly not strict enough, as market is extremely overheated.
You can set the site to show you all posts regardless of score. I know I do. And then you just ignore the score. That said, it is an effective tool to attack the majority who don't mess with settings and just use it with default settings.
My biggest problem with reddit however is that it's a platform that is essentially in hands of clear cut ideologues, who are segregating the site into system where they constrain certain viewpoints to certain subreddits only via admin assistance (i.e. shadow bans). That results in people with certain opinions that reddits administration finds to be disagreeable to be essentially locked into places with nothing but others that agree with them for company. Which in turn creates an echo chamber which radicalises people as overton window shifts towards the extreme. The_Donald is a good example of this. It started as a genuine pro-Trump grass roots political movement and became an extreme echo chamber as people who got punished through reddit's administrations suppression of pro-Trump views started increasingly flock in there to vent and as a result radicalise one another.
And this is in reddit's interests to do. People in echo chambers spend longer on the site. Same thing as we have seen with facebook.
That said, reddit is also interesting in how the overton window has shifted. I remember the time when just implying that islam and terrorism are connected was ground for automatic permaban from r/Europe. Same mods still largely in place, but they no longer have the mindset to ban entire threads and scores of users discussing the topic. It took Bataclan, several trucks of peace, pedophiliac muslim grooming gangs branding little girls with hot irons "because they're white and so trash" according to their own words in court, and Cologne mass harassment to get there. But it was dragged there, mods kicking, screaming and mass banning all the way. It's a good microcosm of society.
This is the modern far left interpretation, which seeks to expand meaning of racism from inherent traits to actions, and then use it as a weapon to gain power and privilege, as you are trying to do.
Because when I answered your question initially, you indicated in your reply that this was not the question you asked.
Therefore, to answer your question, I need to understand the premise on which you're asking it. Therefore, to get the answer, you will need to elaborate on said premise. I'm not a mind reader.
Trump's past behaviour is clean cut condemnation of racism. As your assumption appears to be built on foundation of the exact opposite, it crumbles all on its own.
Are you in all seriousness suggesting that state of Singapore does not have deep links with PRC? In that case, you need to pick up any book on the topic of relations between the two.
But considering the first two words, I don't think you possess the mental faculties for topics more complex then "racist, racist, you're racist. lalalala I can't hear you".
Nationalism is discrimination based on nationality. Nationality is something that is granted to you by the nation and can be changed through process known as naturalization.
Racism is discrimination based on race. Race is a characteristic that comes with your genome, and is unchangeable.
All racists are humans. Therefore all humans are racists. Therefore you are racist and we don't have to listen to you.
Your argument in a nutshell, but with a slightly wider criteria than one you cast. Or you can stop pretending that Trump is a racist, or that this decision has anything to do with race in any way, shape or form. Your choice.
To be closer to their supply chain. You just made the argument for me. Thank you.
P.S. Conflating state interests based discrimination with discrimination based on race is either ignorant or malicious. I have corrected this error already for the ignorant. This leaves the malicious to mindlessly repeat it. Mindlessly repeating it does not make it any less wrong.

It was also the main roadblock for people migrating to other browsers.
Good thing it was removed, so that migration from firefox continued unabated, isn't it?
Are you a supporter of blank slate stupidity, or are you going to play the "race has a scientific definition and therefore common parlance usage does not make it a race" card?
Are you suggesting that programs that are in part designed to keep certain US allies attached to US are also a measure of local ties to China?
Considering the mountain of evidence you provided for your extreme statement, I think we can dismiss it on the merits you provided.
1. You're completely wrong on China's ethnic situation. Han are nowhere close to 99.999%
2. "Hypothetical" black person? Are you suggesting that African gastarbeiters and African envoys of various types are "hypothetical people" and not actual real living people?

That moment when you genuinely don't know if this is sarcasm or serious. Insanity of current political discourse is taking its toll.

Thank you captain obvious.
I did not ask you to rephrase them. I asked you to elaborate on them.
Former is saying the same thing in different words. Latter is providing more context.
Perhaps some humility on your part is in order, with you not understanding the difference between the two?
This is the modern far left interpretation, which seeks to expand meaning of racism from inherent traits to actions, and then use it as a weapon to gain power and privilege, as you are trying to do.
It does not make it any less of a malicious lie.
Everything degrades over time. That's nature of entropy. The obvious qualitative difference comes from speed of degradation.

As I said, this is a very basic error. Repeating it after being corrected on it implies malice rather than ignorance.
