@tiffhuangx Greatest statesman of the 20th century. There's a poetry in the fact that Lee took inspiration from Britain in the 20th century, and now Britain should look to Singapore for governance advice in the 21st.
@BWJacksonX@biglibertyguy "This is an island"
"Well, if you look at the shore, sometimes this little strip of land is exposed, and sometimes it's under water. Your so called "island" doesn't actually have a fixed shape."
"Yes, that doesn't mean it's not an island."
@petruch10@RealiaAmelia@liketwoandahalf “Sure, taking your beautiful family to watch rockets reach for the stars is nice, but have you considered the alternative, destroying everything beautiful and cutting your dick off?”
@ElonBachman Bold of you to assume clusters in place of quantum superpositions. What even is a “cluster” but an area of greater quantum probability.
This is why you have to completely swamp your country with immigrants, btw.
@dilanesper@xwanyex >Do we ever have a conversation about having less men in the workplace?
Constantly. It's been one of the defining features of politics in the last 30 years.
@gpt_alex It's funny that people have been concerned about "Extremely realistic, gory violence simulation" since Soldier of Fortune, which looked like this.
I wonder if thinking this is a bridge too far is just a sign we're getting old.
@DylanTweetin You used to leave the cave and get torn to pieces by wolves, now billions live in safety and we have extreme natural disasters sometimes (like we always did).
He's right though. I'll give an example:
"Oh, you think that Western Europeans and Afghani tribal rapists are fundamentally different do you? Well if you twist your perspective *this* way you can see that you're actually all just interchangeable economic units under the Benevolent Communist Administration"
@DaveGreenGrump@GabrielIdowu_@TheGhostSleepi1 It’s a very long bow to draw between “add a demographic field to house rental and purchase agreements” and “total state control over all transactions.”
If you have to resort to strawmen like that, what is even the point.
@DaveGreenGrump@GabrielIdowu_@TheGhostSleepi1 You wouldn’t even be able to. You could easily bake demographic data into housing applications so that it’s simply not a valid application if it breaches demographic rules. The transaction couldn’t even proceed.
@DaveGreenGrump@GabrielIdowu_@TheGhostSleepi1 You’re trying to get me to say “we need fascist death squads to enforce something that can literally be handled by housing policy” and it’s simply not true.
@DCinvestor I think it's likely that Canada was already a Chinese vassal prior to Trump, and that Trump just prefers to have that out in the open, rather than hidden.
Yes he is victimised by the natives who, under stress, lump in assimilative natives with "the rest".
Yes, this failure to distinguish between the two is the result of the tensions arising from mass ethnic displacement, and the state's celebration of it.
I am repeating myself over and over again, describing that the case you raised, of an old, assimilated black man wanting to farm, is only a point of political contention because of broader trends celebrating British ethnocide.
If Britain had stable demographics, positive birth rates, a cohesive and safe ethnic core, and optimism for the future, an assimilated old man wanting to farm wouldn't even be a news item, let alone a point of contention.
