They also purposely build their devices in such a way that they often can't be economically repaired, necessitating a repurchase. Check out Louis Rossman on YouTube, he owns a repair shop and rants about it all the time.

It isn't CIA propaganda. They quite literally welded people into their houses during COVID, there's video of them doing it. They then absolutely decimated Hong Kong, making countless protestors disappear. There's obviously the whole situation where they use mass slave labor of the Uyghur Muslims. There's the constant lies the CCP spews that are demonstrably false (we're talking North Korea levels of laughable propaganda). There's their blatant theft of intellectual property with government support along with the global corporate espionage. There's the horrible working conditions, with companies needing suicide nets around the buildings to prevent workers from jumping. There's the laughable safety issues with various engineering projects that when they fail are swept under the rug. The list goes on and on. China has an interesting and impressive history, but China under the CCP is absolute dog shit.
You absolutely should have that right. What is the issue?
Excellent point.
My understanding is that the US has one of the most liberal immigration policies in the world. Is that not the case?
Has this been confirmed or is this speculation?
What should you punish murder with? Genuinely asking. I see many who want to do away with prisons and switch to rehabilitation. In some cases I can certainly understand that, and I am against for profit prisons, but I also know that a certain portion of society is just fundementally born with dysfunctional brains and no amount of rehabilitation will ever correct that. What do you do with the person who is sadistic and sociopathic in their disdain for other human life?
The world IS bigger than Seattle, I agree. That being said, Seattle is a key US city, and as such what happens there has cultural and political ramifications for our country as a whole. The fact that you are either dismissing and/or not aware of what happened there is a little troubling and makes me question your qualifications to hold an opinion on the matter.
As for the obviously hyperbolic claim that "whole cities were burned down", that's absurd. As someone who lives very near Los Angeles, I can tell you that there absolutely was widespread looting, vandalism, protests/riots, and violence. This was not localized and spread both into Orange County as well as the Inland Empire. I know this because 1. I saw it with my own eyes, and 2. I had multiple clients reach out to me and reschedule because they needed to shutter their businesses and board up their store fronts with plywood to prevent them from being smashed and looted.
Since we're sharing articles, how about this one that talks about two individuals who burned down a Wendy's. Both individuals pleaded guilty of 1st degree arson and as a result got a slap on the wrist ($500 fine and 150 hours of community service). Explain to me how that's even remotely a reasonable punishment for burning down a building...
Yeah, the problem is those "other people" didn't face any actual consequences because their cause was an emotional response to racial injustice or some such nonsense. Crime is crime and should be punished as such. I don't give a shit if you think it was justified.
I'd like to also add this story in which rioters set fire to multiple buildings in close proximity to the White House and faced zero consequences because it was a "peaceful protest" rather than an "insurrection".
That's entirely possible, no system is perfect, but rather than countering my statement with something that happens the least, perhaps you could offer up an idea on how to handle what happens the most. How do you think we should handle maliciously evil (for lack of a better word) people who commit heinous crimes?
I don't know that we do it to make any such statement to the guilty party. I personally think we do it to 1. deter others from going down that path for fear of the consequences, and 2. remove an individual from society who has shown themselves incapable (in the most malicious and extreme way) of properly functioning in society. They are a danger to society, therefore they need to be removed. Obviously you could make the argument that we could simply banish them somewhere or lock them up for the remainder of their lives, but in my personal opinion that's not definitive enough. They could escape, be let out early, and harm someone else.
It's funny that you mention THOSE Republicans because I'm old enough to remember when all three were hailed as the second coming of Hitler by the left. Weird how that's changed...
Explain to me how Trump's actions rise to the level of Confederate soldiers who literally killed fellow Americans. I bet you also think "silence is violence".
"Should" is the operative word in my statement. I personally believe that you SHOULD have that right. I have always held the belief that I would much rather people discriminate against me openly so I can determine who I want to give my money to. If a company doesn't want to do business with me, then I certainly don't want to do business with them. Instead we have laws that prohibit discrimination, but face discrimination in practice. It's like having a friend who smiles to your faces, but talks shit about you behind your back. No thanks, I'll pass.
I'm talking about how it's always those who are at a disadvantage that cry foul the loudest. In this case Democrats want term limits because they're currently in the SCOTUS minority and are looking for ways to shift things to their favor. Yet when they're in the majority, suggesting something like this would be seen as a miscarriage of tradition or some other such nonsense. For once I'd love to see Democrats take an ethical stand when it doesn't advantage them. Push for term limits when you have the majority.
Was Trump found guilty of insurrection? I must have missed that. My mistake.
What do you make of people coming from continents besides South America? Do we owe it to Russian or Chinese citizens to offer them asylum? From my perspective asylum is something you offer your direct neighbors who are fleeing threats on their lives. Offering asylum to literally any citizen of the world seems a bit extreme. If someone in China fears for their life, certainly there are closer and more accessible countries they can flee to.
So in your estimation what do we owe them before they're put on busses?
Cool. Bigot.
I heard him say "peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard", but what do I know, I only watched it on video.
But you're right, letting democracy take its course is stupid, I don't trust the public to make decisions and have to go through the trouble of voting. The only good democracy is one in which we tell the people who they can vote for. We should probably bar the Republican party from participating too. We don't want to confuse people by giving them too many choices, especially since we obviously all want another term of Biden. He's the best!
This right here confuses me. The people claiming that government numbers can't be trusted are the same people who regularly rolled out government covid death numbers are the gospel truth during covid. My personal belief is that those numbers were wildly overblown, so I'm willing to believe that in this case you might be right and the migrant numbers are also overblown. That being said you can't have it both ways. We're the covid death numbers false?
Sounds to me like you're being rather racist with your assumptions. You're characterizing a group of people as having monolithic values based on a shared heritage. They're individual people with individual beliefs and motivations. You're also suggesting that they're easily coerced, or perhaps simple minded. This too is racist and demeaning.
Edit: Fixing an autocorrected word.
Okay cool, so you're saying the ends justify the means and it has absolutely nothing to do with hindering your political adversary? So when your side is the one defying the constitution and the right takes antidemocratic steps to stop them, that will be justified and in no way will you complain?
Or, you know, it might simply be people with a different opinion from you. That exists too.
I believe in personal freedom. I believe in smaller, more local governance. I believe in gun rights and the right to defend oneself. I believe in free market capitalism, fewer entitlements, and lower taxes. I believe the family structure is key to a thriving society and think it should be encouraged from a policy/tax standpoint rather than dismantled in favor of government "parentage". I believe in meritocracy rather than the ever shifting goal post of equity. I do support abortion, but not in the late term/full term like many leftists do. I think it is a necessary evil and should never be celebrated.
You clearly missed the part where I said I was for open borders. Which current candidates oppose gay rights, and what rights are we talking about?
You think Democrats would feel any different if they held a majority?
Look at your beloved RBG. She sure didn't want to give up her appointment...
Soooo exactly like the Inflation Reduction Act?
What's my position, that BLM is a bullshit corrupt organization, shown time and time again through their fraudulent behavior? That criminal acts should not be excused as "mostly peaceful" or "summer of love"? That the left used gaslighting to excuse abhorrent and illegal actions because it was their side doing it?
Seriously, what's your point?
Sounds to me like you've created a non-existent boogyman to hate. I'm a conservative who is atheist, gay friendly, and thinks we should have open borders. Yet here we are with you villainizing me because I have different opinions than you on how we should handle national problems. Good job tolerant left, you're always so tolerant...
I just think people I disagree with should be disqualified. It's a Democrat or it's nobody!
I'm just happy we can protect democracy by interfering with democracy.
I've got a wacky idea. What if we took the $4 billion annually that we're spending to cover noncitizens, and we instead put that money into covering MORE citizens? Raise the cutoff for citizens so that more of them benefit.
Agreed, All Republicans should be removed. We should weaponize the election system and use it bar our adversaries.
Weird, and here I thought it had nothing to do with her gender but rather her war mongering. Color me surprised. Happy to have someone insightful like you to tell me how I REALLY feel.
If Republicans are using that tactic, it's only cause they learned it from you.
Burning down buildings, looting businesses, assaulting people, property damage, physically intimidating people, murder = "summer of love" and "mostly peaceful protests".
Black lives matter ಠ_ಠ
Because 2020 under Biden is going so much better...
This comment is how I know you're a morally superior "good" person.
Shame on Trump for being such a meanie. Fortunately we have "good" people like you to oppose him.
I too was experiencing this. It was laughably bad. I then disabled 5G and all my issues disappeared. 4G is plenty fast enough and in my area has far better coverage. I truly don't see the point of 5G and the toll it takes on my battery.
