🚨BREAKING:🚨The Maricopa County Board of Elections has come forward to issue an apology to President Trump, stating that elections officials in the county have now brought forth evidence alleging that then Secretary of State (now Governor) Katie Hobbs and then Speaker of the Arizona House of Representatives Rusty Bowers PERSONALLY ORDERED THEM TO DESTROY TENS OF THOUSANDS OF MAIL-IN BALLOTS FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP and to count the TENS OF THOUSANDS OF BALLOTS THAT WERE CAST BY ILLEGAL ALIENS FOR JOE BIDEN in Arizona's largest county in the 2020 election. This was "outcome-determinative fraud" by the very individuals who were entrusted to conduct, oversee and certify the election and Hobbs and Bowers are both alleged to have been on the payroll of at least 3 hostile foreign governments, The George Soros Open Society Foundation and The DNC in exchange for RIGGING the 2020 election in Arizona. Put simply, there is now IRREFUTABLE AND INDISPUTABLE PROOF that President Trump WON the state of Arizona in that STOLEN election out of the mouths of the very people who counted the votes. LOCK THESE TREASONOUS CROOKS UP NOW! 💪🏻🔥🇺🇸
@free5tharmony@Gravey4Cap@xianghu73574129 I’d encourage you to create one. What you will most likely learn, if your cooperative company survives, is you’re working a lot harder than everyone else and you’re not adequately compensated for your contributions.
But by all means I’d love for you to prove me wrong!
This is why free speech is such an important right. It allows us to have confidence that the truth will reveal itself.
Governments that suppress speech are usually trying to hide evil and corruption in an attempt to hold on to power.
Does the government in China suppress speech in support of the Uyghurs? Let’s find out!
@grok what happens to citizens of China that speak up in support of the Uyghur people? Are they allowed to freely express their concerns?
@mjj086518@Winston05716471@Ariszn12 The consensus of human rights organizations is that there are systemic human rights abuses, but whether that crosses a line to count as genocide is debatable.

This is a very China-centric view. I view the world through a different lense. There is a power struggle between globalists that want to impose authoritarian control on the world and people / countries that want to remain sovereign.
These globalists like Chinese style authoritarianism because they want power and control that do not survive western free-speech rights.
China has become a pawn in this global game.
If China’s government is co-opted by these globalists and they try to impose control on countries that want to remain sovereign and free, it will result in world war.
There are way too many Americans that are willing to die for their freedom for any other outcome.
If the people of China can resist these globalist authoritarians then I’m confident we can find a way to live together in peace.
If the people of China allow globalists to control their country then world war becomes much more likely.
The same is true for the US by the way. Americans must also resist these globalist authoritarians. If we fail then world war becomes much more likely. And believe me, we’re trying.
@lee64194373@Winston05716471@Ariszn12@grok Family planning is voluntary. “Forced family planning” is an attempt to make something evil sound innocent.
It’s like the difference between “your daughter and I made love” and “your daughter and I made love without her consent”
The second one is also known as as rape.
It’s dangerous to believe the Soviet Union failed because of its leaders. That view fails to recognize it would have failed under any leader. Hayek showed that the knowledge required to run an economy is spread across every individual in that economy, and it is not possible to centralize this information.
Similarly, the knowledge to run a company cannot be distributed to a majority of the people. That knowledge exists in a small number of people that are deeply immersed in the operations of the business.
The Nordic model isn’t socialism because companies are still run by individuals. It’s capitalism with a social safety net (government support paid for by taxes on a capitalist economy).
If companies in Norway were run by government committee that country would have failed long ago just like the soviets.
China has become decentralized enough that it is no longer socialist. It’s mixed-market authoritarian.
To me the key distinction of socialism is government control over the means of production (central planning). This never works.
The “Nordic model” is often called socialism but it doesn’t meet the academic definition. The Nordic model is capitalism with a social safety net. This system works.
Central planning doesn’t work. Free markets do work. Deng’s reforms worked because they were steps towards a free market.
@Banqiuxiansheng@Ariszn12 Agreed, Deng’s market reforms are what allowed the people of China to start to prosper. China was communist / Socialist until Deng when it started to transition to mixed-market authoritarian.
I’d love to see the people of China free of authoritarianism.
According to grok the CCP’s own sterilization records document sterilization surges correlated with birth-rate drops in Uyghur areas. Combine that with leaked documents (e.g. Qaraqash List), and consistent survivor testimonies.
The CCP saying “we didn’t do it” looks a lot like a child saying they didn’t eat the cookies when the chocolate is all over their face and the crumbs are all over their shirt.
@QVQ_QAQ@Ariszn12@grok National Direct Student Loans were 3-4% when Obama took out student loans. Just like I said they were.
If you’re not going to discuss in good faith then there’s no point in discussing.
You list countries that developed much later than the US and Europe then compare them to the IS and Europe. Growth takes time. Inside each of those parts of the world analyze free markets vs prosperity and you will see a strong correlation.
Free markets create prosperity.
Centrally planned and centrally controlled markets inhibit prosperity.
To deny this is to deny the entirety of history and economic knowledge of humanity.
Nobody makes you poor. Poverty is the absence of prosperity. Learn to be prosperous.
Socialists believe corporations have too much power, and the solution is to merge your employer, your landlord, your doctor, and your grocery store into one organization that also has a police force, courts, prisons, and a military.
At least under capitalism you can find a different employer or even fight back with protest.
When the government controls the means of production, the food supply, the police, and the military, the people are fucked.
If you protest you get killed.
You’re probably interpreting the data poorly.
Student loans typically have a very low interest rate so you pay them off as slowly as possible.
Why race to pay off a student loan at 3% when you can invest the money in the market instead and earn 9-10% or more in it?
It’s basic economics. If someone is lending you money at 3% you invest it and pay it off as slowly as possible.
