Unfortunately, yeah…it does kind of smell like ethnic cleansing.

hey it’s your uber passenger, I’ll be singing along even though I can’t quite figure out what note he’s on. If that doesn’t work for you, please feel free to pick me up anyway.

As regular people have for most of history.

"You can now see a future where we are able to zero out crime in neighborhoods,” Siminoff continued. “So many things to do to get there but for the first time ever we have the chance to fully complete what we started.”

Exactly how the firm plans to “zero out crime” remains unknown, as does the significance of “complete what we started".

Get on yer conspiracy hats!

Honestly surprised to learn that they were still supporting 7-8.1 until now.

I was trying to remember, but it wasn’t coming to me.

If you ditched your car, could you afford to leave the suburbs for a great urban neighborhood?

Actually, yes, because that’s exactly what I did about 5 years ago. No regrets 😊

What a bunch of clowns.

If he wanted to actually help someone it would be dead simple to just donate the 10k to a local food bank or something. Or hell, donate 100k to a local food bank, 120k is still a pretty comfy salary. But noooooo, instead he pulls this publicity stunt and ends up making his party look even worse than they already do. Nice work.

9 to 45 elevens? Dammit, I’m not doing math. You guys figure it out.

I didn’t realize how ambiguous my comment was, but I was thinking of the headline, not Omar’s comment.

Sorry I was responding to “Ilhan Omar calls to execute president Trump”.

People who seek help and don’t abuse anyone are ok.

I mean it’s a good idea.

Well it’s actually a range of 9 to 45 oceans, so I guess it can be whatever ocean you like.

I’m not sure a 17 year old working a few hours a week is what they’re thinking of.

Ok the tone of the article is mostly fuzzy, but it seems the publication did explicitly ask for a “defense of child labor” article, which they then published with an Oliver Twist photo. 🤔

At the very least, the party in power should not be able to decide the timing of elections.

Ontario’s last election was a farce. Opposition parties had no time to prepare, while Ford capitalized on being able to get all the media attention he wanted with his little trump act. Not democratic at all.

“Look at me and my big moral compass!”

Ok but are you doing anything that will actually help regular people, or just fishing for brownie points from politically illiterate boomers?

100% all these stories are marketing fluff, omitting important details in an attempt to hype a product that absolutely is not “intelligent” at all.

Here’s another thing I noticed. A little farther down, it mentions they interviewed “dozens” of people, and that this represents a significant portion of all available testimonial evidence. Of course they attribute this to the Chinese government trying to keep information from getting out.

Here’s the thing: there’s absolutely no way they could be that successful in keeping this hidden. Just look at Gaza. It’s tiny, literally walled in, and israel all the best tech for oppression and surveillance (it’s like their whole thing) plus the infinite money glitch via the USA. And still, we have countless videos of the horrors perpetrated against Palestinians. Xinjiang is HUGE, and there are something like 10 million Uyghurs. Stuff would absolutely get out.

Thanks for your contribution, the world West largely disagrees but neat!

FTFY

This is from 2019, but is one of the few articles I found actually listing countries, instead of just saying “51 UN member states” with no further detail. Do take a look at the respective lists. No conclusions are drawn, but it’s interesting nonetheless: https://thediplomat.com/2019/07/which-countries-are-for-or-against-chinas-xinjiang-policies/

So right off the bat, the executive summary goes

Since 2017, under the guise of a campaign against “terrorism”,

So this “terrorism” did actually happen, I’m not sure why it’s in quotes, for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_2014_Ürümqi_attack

Note the reference at the top to another incident only one month earlier. Unfortunately there were several more.

This tone certainly suggests a foregone conclusion, but anyway. It goes on to describe various abuses, do they amount to genocide? They sure wouldn’t if israel was the perpetrator, but I guess when it’s China we can throw around the G word no problem. Perhaps I can give it more scrutiny later, gotta work now.
