Yeah no maybe do some introspection if the misanthropic eugenics movie seems relatable.

2 reasons:

1. The reletive silence suggests most people who talk about minority rights in China don’t actually care about minorities rights, because I see >100 “but what about the uhigars or women in Iran” or w/e for every post about the poisoning of Hawaiian or Dakota water.

2. We can actually have positive impacts on native Americans, when it comes to minorities in enemies of America, it’s just carrying water for hostile action that hurt those people as much as anyone else. A productive context for that discussion wouldn’t involve Americans.

Same when articles trot out LGBT rights in Gaza or Iran or Russia as if those groups don’t suffer from hunger and lack of medicine due to western sanctions.

They should learn both. But as an American, it’s laughable for me to have an opinion on the matter given the way indigenous people are treated here.

The regional government announced last week that primary and secondary schools that originally taught in the Mongolian language would shift to Mandarin to teach three core subjects: literature, ethics and history

Turns out it’s hard to teach Chinese literature, ethics, and history when you can’t interact with the primary sources.

What country? Surely you don’t mean Canada where native schools teach in english?

From what I understand, Starmer’s labor isn’t exactly reversing it, anymore than Biden reversed the resurgence of far-right politics in the US or Blairite Labor did during the 2000s.

Eradicating local culture in Tibet and Xinjiang

Except they still have their culture. We know what eradication of a culture looks like, it looks like schools that ban the use of native languages, instead of teach in them.

~98% of Tibetans speak a Tibetan language.

Enforcing Mandarin

Everyone in China learns Mandarin in additional to their local language, how else are they supposed to communicate with people from other parts of China?

In what sense is China an ethnostate?

Yes, that was the survey and the very data point I was talking about. There’s similar numbers for surveys done during the 2012 and 2006 operations.

Turns out 90% of the Israeli “left” are the national kind of “socialists”.

The Israeli public are in support of the genocide. This isn’t a Netanyahu problem any more than nazi germany was a hitler problem. Polls from both this and the last time Israel bombed Gaza had <5% of Israeli Jews saying the IDF is bombing gaza too much.

Nodo hwhat?

Oh it means “throat penis”? I don’t know if that’s better.

The Cicada species doesn’t pop up in the first 3 pages though

A lot of those are overlapping, like Appalacha and the Great Lakes both extend into Upstate NY, much of lower Appalacha is also considered mid-atlantic, etc

No you fucking didn’t.

Giving it your all would preclude doing things that decrease the number of votes you’re going to get, such as ending the rent moratorium, refusing to pack the court to protect Roe (because that would make it political lmao), trying to close the border, and facilitating a genocide.

You wanna be able to say you gave it your all? Drone strike the SCOTUS and use every means at your disposal to keep the fascists out of power.

Is that why photos of the USSR are mostly in black and white too?

There is some irony in that every time I talk to conservative friends/family about the things I loath Biden for, they’re reasons they should love him, if only the media reported on it.

He’s weak on the border? The one he tried to close, but was blocked by republicans, so he went around congress to illegally kick out refugees?

There’s too many brown people? He’s deported more people than Trump did.

He’s left Israel out to dry? He sent everything that was allocated to them, and more, and even bombed Yemen to support the genocide of Gaza.

Abortion? Who exactly is letting Roe lie dead?

Welfare? He ended covid protections, child poverty skyrocketed.

No, but he wrote the 94 crime bill, which heuristically targeted black people with the 100:1 rule.

We’re getting away from the main point.

non-ideological judgement is impossible because “impartially” applying for example, textualism is still ideological, because the choice to use textualism vs any other method is ideological.

liberals tend to favour fairness of outcome

You’re confusing liberals and socialists. Here’s Liberalism: A counter-history, which examines the history and evolution of liberalism. It contextualizes both the historical promotion of political rights and seeming contradictions like their removal under liberalism.

it still wasn’t three years.

Oh no it was closer to 2.5 years than 3.5 years!

Come on, you know this doesn’t refute my point.

Telling them to “fuck off” is meaningless nonsense.

The SCOTUS has no means to enforce its decisions. It knows this and has historically kowtowed to the executive when faced with its own marginalization.

The president literally can just ignore them, as Trump did when they made a ruling he didn’t like such as DACA. There’s some other precedents: https://revealnews.org/blog/a-brief-history-of-presidents-telling-so-called-judges-to-get-lost/
