lol they think biden isnt genocide at home

cute

China has more stringent laws against child labor than the USA. In China it is suspected that 10 million children are in the workforce. In the USA it is suspected that 6 million children are in the workforce. China has over 4 times the population of the USA and over the last decade has been restricting the use of child labor more and more. In the USA, regulations against child labor are being relaxed.

China has more stringent laws against prison labor than the USA. In China, there are about 1.6 to 1.7 million prisoners at any given time. In the USA, there are 1.3 million. Yet in the United states upwards of 1 million prisoners must engage in prison labor and an uncounted amount that are not prisoners but as part of non-prison sentencing must "volunteer" at places like chicken packing plants. In China we cannot know exactly how many people do prison labor, because western propaganda says their prison labor numbers are 2 million to 16 million prisoners despite the fact that we know only 1.7 million people are prisoners. American prison labor is used in goods from Walmart to Target.

If you buy "Made in the USA" goods you are support a regime that exploits children and slavery. If you shop at Target or Walmart or many other chain outlets you support these things. I'm not even being facetious.

a forced famine is genocide

okay now lets recognize what weve done to cuba

i made my wife dinner last night and i didnt even charge her for the service. isnt that just a bribe so she will continue to love me and snarf my dong?

I'll die charging the hill.

So you can "earn" the stuff in-game: so what? That doesn't excuse it at all and I don't know why people repeat this. They aren't mad the item can be earned, they are mad it is sold. These seem like the same issue but they are not. Conflating them as the same issue is a poor attempt to deflect the justified frustration of the people who paid for this game. Their frustration is a basic part of human psychology. It is why we do not allow steroids in sports. It is why we separate boxing matches by weight. There is a fundamental understanding of "fairness" that every leftist should understand and this encroaches on that understanding. As a leftist you should understand how this is indicative of a greater inequity between what is accessible to those with wealth and those without in our society and you should be upset that it has not only consumed our working lives but now consumes our leisure as well.

In so far as your comments on the Rift companions being gated; I'm afraid you've put the cart before the horse. They are selling the solution to a problem they designed. This is the exact kind of toxic gameplay elements that people criticize the very existence of cash shops for. We aren't talking about some cosmetics here. The fact that you are trying to pass that off as a good thing shows just how lost in the sauce you are.

All these systems that must be interacted with in this way are things that must be programmed and tested. It hurts to see a game get blasted for performance issues when those same programmers may have been working on this garbage instead. Would their time have been better spent making sure the game ran nicely? Absolutely. But hey, at least they got the rift crystals and character editor token working right in the cash shop and isn't that what really matters?

You mentioned that it's not a big deal to have pay-2-win in a single player game. "Who cares," you say? Well, uh, a load of people. Why attempt to invalidate their concerns? Very toxic behavior in service to the greedy corporation, comrade. Do better.

they reduced poverty so heavily that the world bank would not include them in their worldwide reports because they skewed the data so hard

something like 1 billion chinese were lifted out of poverty in a 30 year period

"Lesser of two evil" voters are unironically evil.

There is no obligation to vote for a candidate because you think they are more likely to win if that candidate is unambiguously in support of evil policies like genocide, brutality against immigrants, and so on. In fact, there is a moral obligation to vote for someone better should you have the opportunity. There can be a moral case to be made for other actions as well.

Now, many liberals will try and argue that whatever alternative candidate you propose cannot win. This is just a form of DARVO; Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender, a strategy of master manipulators. They are the reason the good candidate does not get the votes. They are the ones refusing to vote for the best candidate. They then try to blame you, the person making the moral choice, that your moral action is a waste and their immoral action is the only legitimate one. It only seems so because of their carefully crafted sophistry. Do not fall for it.

They will try and use the consequences of their compromised candidate losing as part of their argument but it is irrelevant. Consequences are a result from any action or inaction. Consequences are not a barrier for the moral person to moral action; they are an excuses of immoral actions of immoral people. Besides, whatever argument they can present here is an argument in favor of the more moral third party candidate anyways.

Lastly and most importantly, voting is not gambling and therefore does not follow the same rules. In gambling you bet on a result you expect to happen. In voting this is an overall losing strategy and anyone who has paid attention to politics for more than a decade or two can see it transparently. The only path forward is to support candidates, policies, or actions that further your morally driven social and political goals. Anything else is a distraction at best and at worse, something that actively injures those goals.

As always, fuck liberals and death to America.

Imagine seeing a protest, any kind of protest, and thinking to yourself, "ah, but they just want ATTENTION."

i cant believe china is harvesting the organs of alabama prisoners

in leftist spaces its best to assume anyone posting materials about illegal shit that the atf would send you to prison for is an actual fed

This is something every pan-racial (for lack of a better term) movement will run into. Every movement needs its foundational myths (in the folkloric sense, not the "stories that are false" sense) and common beliefs to function. When you're trying to unite disparate peoples whose main reason for joining together is to increase political/bargaining power, you're going to have to either choose to prioritize certain narratives over others or create new narratives whole cloth.

The crackers have to label this as a "pan-racial" thing because they don't want to admit that "whiteness" is a construct and they have no culture.

the country where the missiles are manufactured only matter to liberals when russia is firing them
