Fuck Google, I'm not paying them shit.

However, when Google and Amazon are nationalized then I'll agree. Everyone should pay taxes which go into the government owned server farms.

No, it is not OK to support Israel. They're a genocidal state. You should support Palestine or at least be a coward and stay out of talking about it.

What about all the atrocities Israel just did in Gaza? Leveled a bunch of apartments, displaced a ton of families, and killed hundreds.

The esteemed Mr. Malthus wrote about it. The admirable J. Swift has also written a wonderful proposal for how we may deal with it.

You're right that Americans are under-educated in those areas. However, China has something like a hundred "big cities" (let's say roughly Philadelphia-sized). Only a real geography buff would be able to identify all of them! If Americans knew just ten of them, that would be great.

If Xi piloted a flying saucer to kidnap military officers, I'd have no choice but to support him.

China’s National Defense Minister Li Shangfu has been missing for weeks. Now, he’s under investigation for corruption and out of a job

Probably getting fired and/or arrested for corruption if I had to guess. Just a thought though.
