Fuck off then. The topic is not about China. The HK police was just used as a comparison vs US police in terms of their response. You quoted a source that is particularly unreliable on HK riots because that's just a sign of how butthurt China makes you.

US is complete shit. HK police were far far better. To call their behaviours similar is complete bullshit.

HKFP dodgy as fuck as a source.

The stone stopped bleeding. You can't squeeze indefinitely.

US government won't build tech manufacturing facilities. It is ideological.

Private industry also doesn't want to build tech manufacturing in US - not at a level that competes with China or other places in Asia.

There are still many anti-capitalist expressions from gamers and the like, but there are not enough leftist voices to frame them as such inside those communities.

I think another aspect that has occurred recently is capital corporations have cloned the socially progressive talking points of the left.

These concessions to progressive politics to court younger consumers are no challenge to the power of capitalism. Throwing corporate sponsorship at BLM, LGBTQ or environmental organisations still keeps real power in corporate hands. Allowing an amount of dissent and protest in non disruptive forms poses no threat to them (Don't block a motorway and they'll let you protest as much as you like).

However it does allow the far right to radicalize the geeks. They can be convinced that the SJWs are their enemy rather than the bosses who adopted some SJW points in the name of progress so business can run as usual. Both "sides" are still just an internal contradiction within capitalism.

But I am afraid of the future. I am afraid that if I start dating her now I end up regretting it later in life.

I suggest enjoy the relationship as it is now rather than imagining how it will be in the future. It's not like you have proposed so it's way too early to think about your combined incomes and stuff.

Get on the bicycle and explore.

You can also volunteer at neighborhood community services: e.g. a lot of older people need help with taking care of gardening or other strenuous chores.

The GTA games allow gamers to choose who they want to be in the game. Sometimes they can't do that in real life so it is enjoyable to have that persona in the game world.

To use terms/phrases like bloat and too many wickets, downplays this as a fundamental feature of the games. And it treats this feature as something that should be de-prioritized because it's not "fun" for the chuds and it's even taking the fun away.

Part of anti-capitalism is the rejection of neoliberal ideology where people are voluntarily pursuing achievement and performance as expressions of personal freedom. Byung Chul Han wrote about these concepts in books like "The Burnout Society", "Capitalism and the Death Drive", etc

In our supposedly free society, the social pressure to "do well" creates the burnout. People work hard because of an illusion of scarcity rather than the boss exploiting them.

I made the mistake of turning on the car radio yesterday and hearing the news brief. Needless to say it was not news, just some "explanation" about how bombing hospitals is okay because Hamas was inside.🤮

The point was to stop the bullshit of dismantling those similar national Aboriginal orgs each time conservatives wanted to crush them to score a political point. Given their track record of ABOLISHING these bodies, the referendum would have protected them which would already be a material improvement.

That would have been the change. That's progress. But rather than making them permanent, the No vote has just doomed Australia to the endless cycle of creating an org then getting rid of it each time we switch governments.

Australia already attempts to deliver policies and services for Aborigines but the recent approach has been to involve them in the design and delivery to give better results. That is why these bodies need to exist.

Dark army = typical racist bullshit stereotypes.
