This isn’t race baiting. It’s anti-racism. Whiteness was invented by the same people that invented the other races, and it was invented for the same reason - maintenance of violent genocidal empire

Yes, they must! It’s an imperative! And we’ll continue to write opeds about it until they realize they must!

We support the end of the killing. The end of the killing requires stopping the killers. Sometimes those killers are so insistent in their killing that they need to be killed to stop the killing. We desire the end of war, but the enemy desires war. Thus, ending war requires war, because the enemy will bring it to us.

Whatatatatatata??? I just edited it again. What do you see?

Wait, what? You saw my ninja edit?

Sorry. I was making a little joke. I genuinely believe people were down voting you because they don’t believe that the American military is a terrorist organization. But since I agree with you, I was trying to come up with another explanation.

Fewer is for countable nouns, like 4 apples is fewer than 10 apples.

Less is for uncountable nouns, like Lake Placid has less water than Lake Superior.

It can be confusing because you could find a way to express the same idea using either, like Lake Placid has fewer drops of water, or fewer liters of water than Lake Superior, be sure “drops” and “liters” are discrete countable nouns. But water as a noun covers any amount. Similarly less snow versus fewer inches of snow, or less money versus fewer dollars.

I choose to believe you are being downvoted for incorrectly choosing between “less” and “fewer”.

Nope. Think of it like a trolley problem.

Hmm, airstrikes being reported by the AP. Oh wait, these aren’t about West Asia? Hmm.

The attack is the latest in a series of frequent and deadly aerial strikes targeting armed pro-democracy forces and ethnic armed groups in the country. The strikes often cause civilian casualties.

Oh, pro-democracy you say? Hmmmm.

Ah, I see. The US is the good guy here. Right…

Uh. It includes Putin. Did you just miss it?

Absolute comedy gold

I’m not angry, Lu. I’m just disappointed

Oh hey, I got you mad enough to chase me around now, eh? Welcome! I like that your primary beef with me is that you think I can’t read but then you post this particular link. Very well done! Do continue, please.

You do realize that the border is with Tibet, right? An autonomous region within China that has never been recognized as a state with firm boundaries in all of human history. The border is contentious because borders are contentious. As much as you might not like border disputes, there is nothing socialist or anti-socialist about having border disputes. Nepal doesn’t want to make a big diplomatic stink over the situation. You want to psychologize them as fearful of China and therefore China isn’t socialist?

You’re not making any sense. China is not engaged in imperial capitalist expansion simply because there’s a few hundred acres being built on by the TAR along their own border in ways that violate the border. That’s a resolvable tension and doesn’t amount to a hill of beans.

Yeah a border dispute over a few hundred acres. Please don’t use words like “territorial expansion” when discussing a few hundred acres along a contentious border that has historically been undefined and only in modern times have there been an attempt to make them fixed.

I find it hard to believe that China is engaged in territorial expansion when it hasn’t dropped a single bomb in 35 years

Or do mean the border dispute with India? Because that’s an artifact of the British drawing shitty borders and imposing them on subjugated people and those people have not established an effective framework for redressing the problem yet

Sorry!

They live in India

Yeah. Not a shred of rational thought left in you. Pure righteousness. I’m glad we had this conversation so that other people could see it. You’re a lost cause.
