Please, be more accurate with your statements. China is committing genocide at home (which is terrible) and supplying components, which applications include i.e. war drones for Ukraine war, in other words fuelling the war.

On the other hand the west is supplying plain ready to use weapons, ammunition and war vehicle parts. Not only that, but also the crucial military intel necessary to hit the targets.

What the ever-loving fuck do you think drones are

Not only that, but also the crucial military intel necessary to hit the targets.

And you think Chinese intelligence isn't involved in the war in Ukraine? Both espionage and cyberattacks from suspected PRC actors are on the fucking record, and it's not like Chinese state media is going to be doing any exposes before the CPC wants to admit it.

Although one can argue the outcome will be the same, results show a much higher civilian casualty percentage of 83% in the Gaza war.

Yes, because Palestine's military (or paramilitaries) is no longer in any state to resist.

There is a substantial difference in the battlefield between fuelling, arming and committing.

Oh goodness, it would be really terrible if China was supplying capital, arms, and personnel.

Fuck off, fascist.

From 16.70 in 1990 to 11.00 in 2020 in the US. But cute attempt at misrepresentation with the graph.

If “we” is the UN (I dont consider myself part of them), which doesn’t even report on Palestine’s birth rates since the 90s because it doesnt recognize it as a state. Do you have any non-UN based sources? They are obviously western biased.

Like, there’s a lot of stuff happening why is this only a worry in China? America is experiencing a huge birth rate decline as well.

Jesus fucking Christ.

The fastest we know of, and during a campaign where there are widespread reports of suppression of the local ethnicity, including forced sterilizations

But that takes time to see the fruits of. We don't have patience for that. If the effects aren't immediate, we reverse the policy within two years.

China is directly fuelling genocide, both at home amongst the Uyghurs, and in Ukraine by arming Russia.

Could Trump, theoretically, do enough good with the little post-stroke time he had left to cancel out the harm he's done over the course of his miserable life?

And would it be enough to stop hating him?

The point of punching Nazis is not to convince the Nazi with violence, it's to shatter the delusion of Nazis that they can promise and advocate violence with impunity until they're strong enough to implement it, and prevent bystanders from thinking the same. Driving Nazis back under rocks and reassuring vulnerable groups that broader society isn't willing to play civility games up until they're marched into death camps are both laudable effects of punching Nazis.

That being said, punching Nazis is one of the less efficient means of activism, high risk and low reward. I wouldn't recommend anyone dedicate activist time and energy to specifically punching Nazis (if we're at the point where dedicating time to be violent towards Nazis is legitimately highly valuable, 'punching' is probably so mild as to be a waste of time and opportunity), but it's sometimes worthwhile when the opportunity arises organically.

What I meant is that there is no point at which giving ground to authoritarians makes them so nakedly brutal and vile that the population turns against them. My point is that "Things are bad now, but if they get worse, then things will REALLY crash and the population will THEN finally see!" is just not viable, no matter how bad it gets. Every inch given to authoritarians makes them stronger; it will not sap their popularity or lay the groundwork for a successful reaction against them.

That's the issue. Crashing won't stop them. Infinite enabling of authoritarians does not lead to authoritarians suddenly losing all popularity and being overwhelmed by a tide of democratic sentiment. It leads to fucking North Korea. There is no level of suffering or oppression people are not willing to buckle under, given sufficient perceived strength of the oppressors.

For that matter, there is no level of suffering great enough to shake people of their convictions. The vast majority of people will return to their convictions as soon as they're able to. Inflicting suffering, or letting fascist regimes inflict suffering, will not 'cure' a population of it. Half of the German population in the 1950s still regarded Hitler as a good leader, even after taking Germany from the second most powerful country in Europe to the fifth most powerful in Berlin, and reducing the country to fucking rubble in service to one of the worst causes mankind has ever known.

Don't welcome a Vichy Regime under the delusion that it will begin the Resistance. Understand that the fall of the Third Republic means that the only route to defeat the fucking fascists becomes narrower, harder, and will lead to a less 'pure' political resolution if successful.

It would be terrible if someone examined what the law was based on, and it turned out not to be divinely inspired and absolutely correct. Poor law-worshiping fellow would have a meltdown, if only they had the intellectual capacity to process that!
