Pearl Harbor happened because Japan was not happy about American imperialism in east Asia. Japan wanted to have its own imperialism in that region all to itself. It didn’t have much to do with America supporting European Nazi resistance.
It’s not so much values as it is a lack of power in the working class. These things can be done because the greater population has no power or influence. Since their is no organization to resist it the mass of the population falls into two areas of “cope”. The crowd that knows it’s fucked up and has no one to organize against it. And the crowd that knows it’s fucked up but “no one is doing anything” so they find a place to normalize or deny it. It’s not “really” a Nazi salute.
You may call this “values”. But I’d say it’s more about how well the ruling class has controlled and passified the population.
Also, when half the country is worried about putting food on the table or paying rent. They really don’t have time to give a fuck. Material conditions really shape what we might perceive as a “lack of values”.
Join your local SRA or PSL. We need more comrades. Us Socialist have the top score for killing Nazis and it’s not even fucking close.

Nah. Getting sued for libel is what these outlets should be absolutely proud to have sent their way. That’s literally a news story in itself. It would also means he’d actually have to defend it instead of posting Nazi puns on Twitter.
What a pussy. Do it with your chest you fucking Nazi coward.
Germany is literally right on the edge of their own fascist issues right now. The symbolism may not be as directly 1to1 as America. But the outcomes are building up to be the same. Germans learned all the wrong lessons from their past and now the “never again” seems to be “well, again, but only to Muslims this time. We promise it stops there”
How’s that song go? “Tell them that the Nazis never really went away”. They weren’t kidding.
Comment in before we find out it was some far right person that wants the genocide to start again.
Edit: Looks like no one was hurt. Less of a chance it was some fascist. They seem to require that each of their attacks kill at least one child.
No, a traffic stop or an interaction with a police officer isn’t a detention
Literally just wrong. Detention includes a temporary hold . A traffic stop is a temporary hold. You’re just comically wrong. I won’t bother replying to the rest because you started your reply with such stupidity.
10,000 people detained out of how many tourists worldwide going to china? Like, I’m just trying to get some context because (1) a massive amount of people visit China every year and (2) how does this compare to other countries. A person being “detained” could literally just be a traffic stop or any other interaction with a police officer.
I guess my point is the article is purposely vague. How would this compare per tourist to the US for example?
Also, what you’re mentioning is not at all what I mentioned originally. Which was about the article and Taiwan. You changed the subject to worldwide in order to make the number larger. Which, obviously it would be.
Edit: Asking about actual per capita comparison between countries is bad apparently. I guess “China bad” is heavier than getting actual data. Something this article completely fails to provide.
Asshole: Left
Pussy: Middle
Ass: Right
All great in their own way.
2.77 Million people visiting China from Taiwan. 65 detained with not a single actual individual person being mentioned in the article. Just vague “went missing or had their personal freedoms restricted”
Why is this news?
Hey I know this cat. Looks like the cast all 5 of the neighborhoods I grew up in had roaming around.
Ok. You bring up an important point. And I hope I can take a minute to convince you of something.
What you’re saying is correct. But it relies on fundamental falacy of the way people try to view economics. When we say “capitalism” we’re obviously talking about the entire economic structure; the “rules” for which an economy is organized and the government that enforcess those rules.
The issue with your comparison is that is is not at all comparable to the economic insensitives of massive companies. There is absolutely no valid way to compare a small business or individual hiring a contractor to what I was previously discussing.
I think our economic education suffers in this country because people tend to think of massive economies of scale as just a “bigger” small business. This is not at all comparable. And the waste that this produces is absolutely non trivial.
The “run the country like a business” people have this same flawed logic. They image that any business is just a “coffee shop” but with more employees and customers. But these things are just not comparable. It would be like everyone deciding about how to build an airplane but they assume that the physics are in a frictionless vacuum.
Dude is literally an Arab Jew. Wow. You can’t make this shit up.
Did they condem Hamas though?
Somehow someone’s gonna blame this on Hamas.
It’s not though. Only under capitalism would be literally throw away an item and replace it with the exact same item in the same condition. The only reason for this behavior is capitalism and profit incentives. It’s a waste of labor and resources and only benefits the profits of capital.
Up until the last decade wars were mostly fought due to resources that were needed to survive. We only recently have been able to perfect agriculture output to feed the entire world several times over.
Unfortunately, we have not been allowed to transition to a more humanitarian based economic system. Most world powers are still operating on imperialism and capitalist exploitation. At least in the past conflicts were often inevitable results of scarcity (or the fear of it at least).
I would give humanity more time. We need to weed out the parasites of capitalism and nationalism. We are living in an age that is struggling against them. Keep faith in that struggle. It likely will not end in our lifetimes. The true meaning of life is to plant trees under whose shade you do not expect to be able sit.
Don’t lose faith comrade.
