1) Even if it were true that the rioters weren’t targeting any group in particular, and I’ve seen no proof of these riots damaging the property of people from their own community from a quick search (but never mind that since I can’t really prove it), a riot in Texas over burned bibles that also damaged white Christian people’s property would still rightfully be labeled as an incredibly extremist act (even if not an act of white supremacism) and so would anyone commenting what that user commented originally. 2) Huh? Who was discussing the idiot that burned the Quran? Or American atheists/Swedish secularists and their reactions? You on something? Your straw-manning isn’t amusing.

Do you ever get tired of framing your own opinions and biases to inaccurately describe someone’s line of thought? I stopped reading at the ridiculous comparison with Christian missionaries in Africa. Keep rambling on, per usual.

Should I quote CCP approved propaganda? I’m sure you’d find that more reliable. The CCP doesn’t need to be vilified I’ll leave that to crazies like trump, the facts speak for themselves. Speak for yourself about advocating for humanitarian causes, cause you don’t know me or probably anyone in this forum personally to speak of that.

Hmm at the time of their release I’d say reputation. But tbh nowadays it seems like anti is bigger

Do you believe not discussing this issue and not talking about the protests of people in Shanghai serves their interests better? Please enlighten us as to what we should be doing, Domination.

Thread title: unrest in Texas over bible burnings The news: white Christian Texans burn cars of the people belonging to the religious/ethnic group the people that burned the Bibles belong to and riot over said extremist group planning to do it again. The comment: They choose the holy date of Christmas to provoke Christians… …They still expect no retaliation or a fight back. If anyone called the hypothetical commenter in this scenario a white supremacist enabler I wouldn’t necessarily disagree. Would you? Draw your own conclusions as to what that says about your original comment.

Can we not pretend like rioting and burning vehicles is a legitimate response to what was done? If anything it’s counterproductive. Both cases of the two sides of the same extremist coin.

From what I can gather there’s no change in the extreme policies even after the disturbing news about an exhausted official allegedly committing suicide: How long can they keep 26 million people in these conditions until they revolt?

Not during Ramadan I don’t understand what they hope to achieve. They claim to want immigrants to integrate but then do things like this that will only further isolate them. On second thought though, people doing this probably don’t want them to integrate at all and just be deported at best.

I feel like most straight men are a bit out of touch with their sensitive side because that’s what society expects of them. The percentage of gay men in touch with their sensitive side is arguably a lot higher, so it only makes sense they’ll excel in creative fields which require empathy and being in touch with your feelings - as opposed to being afraid of them.

Not the second reply

He should fall on his knees repenting for being a bigot.

I can’t speak about things that aren’t reported, even if they might happen. Does beg the question, why is this particular series of events and protests leaking then? Something can be said about the scope and size of the unrest in Shanghai if it’s escaping CCP control unlike other alleged protests.

They were being sarcastic

I get what you’re saying, but there would be a big difference between people protesting local policies and people outright blaming and protesting the CCP itself. Even if in practice they’re part of the same entity. You can bet everyone in the CCP is watching this unfold carefully since it could easily spill over.

On that note, here’s more about people being separated from their children: It does say it’s unverified, so take it with a grain of salt. But this isn’t the first report on the issue (some of the previous reports I posted speak about this too).

Thanks, Phantom. From other local government protests, have you seen anything on this scale? Genuinely interested since this seems like it could be a boiling pot waiting to explode (26 million people needing to be controlled, lack of fresh food, people being forcibly removed from their homes, people being forcibly separated from their babies) that could blow over to the CCP as a whole if they don’t adapt to the needs of their people and instead keep on further cracking down on them. But then again, that’s just my impression, and protests+unrest on this scale could be normal for local governments.

So many insane scenes. The clip with people’s screams from the buildings echoing all over the city sent ******* chills down my spine. And the robot patrolling, literal black mirror scene.

Could you post a source for that? Haven’t heard of a case like that

Now some context: As a response for a COVID wave Chinese authorities have locked down 26 million Shanghai residents. These protests in particular are the result of people being kicked out of their homes so that the authorities could turn said homes into COVID quarantine quarters forcefully. I don’t think I remember any case of Chinese people taking the very dangerous (under the Chinese communist party rule) choice of protesting and clashing with police to this level. Do you think this will further develop? Will authorities compromise? Or will they crack down even harder on free speech and protests?

You do realize the average lifespan in Ancient Greece was around 30-35?

Holy ****. This would make an insane movie. How is this reality?

Those are more of your own assumptions as to what that user meant. Could have very well been that or they could’ve just been referring to the very real problem of extremist groups taking advantage of closed immigrant communities all over Europe to spread their ideology and recruit people. Do you deny this problem exists?

Meh. Couldn’t comfortably work out of office like today. LGBTphobia was a lot more rampant. The past is overrated.
