They are our resident Iran doomposter just like our other resident China doomposter

I don’t have anything handy but I believe there’s a wikipedia page which has references for this topic. I can’t remember which one.

The news about the pilot is correct. Xi Jinping had been pushing for it for a long time and this is all he has been able to get so far. He is strongly against speculative growth of real estate.

AFAIK residents don’t have to compete to renew the lease. We have seen the first batches of leases expiring in recent times and no one got evicted. What I understand is that, you can’t sell your house after the lease expires, but you can continue living their indefinitely till the building crumbles. If the government decides to demolish and redevelop, then they give you a new house in the same place.

There are no property taxes in China last I checked.

Come to a country that was colonised by the British, and you’ll see a very different opinion. And there’s far more of us than white people.

Tbh, if you get these game references, you are an omega nerd. I have a lot of gamer friends and most of them don’t even know about these paradox grand strategy games. Actually having hundreds of hours sunk into them makes a rare kind of gamer (which I am 💪).

Very interesting history. Especially for me since India went through very similar societal transformations. Especially the importance of civil service for socio-economic mobility, and it’s resurgence in recent years. It’s just that, this didn’t happen over millenia but during the few centuries of British colonial rule.

Aren’t we all working voluntarily? Or are some of us enslaved property?

Was that the CPI (Maoist) or the CPI (Marxist)?

Not the same thing, but this is what I use with mpv: https://github.com/tomasklaen/uosc

They’re just too racist for it

Your highness, I’m a long time hexbear. I’ve been here for two years at least.

If it is morally justified to cull cats like this, it is also morally justified to cull humans.

Who is he? Please give this easterner some background.

The Sukhoi-30MKI, along with its AL-31FP engine, has been manufactured on license by the public sector since 2004.

It will continue because the order for the GE-404 engines has already been placed. To those who are unaware, yes that’s General Electric. We are importing fully manufactured amrikkkan engines for our “indigenous” light combat aircraft.

India too

I assumed you’re Indian too. This guy is nuts. He used to be a tankie, if you can believe it. Somehow went far right later, mainly to just get his own news channel as a fief grant from the ruling regime. He creates outrage over whatever is the designated distraction of the week set by the regime. He is still quite tame now because one of the opposition ruled state governments imprisoned him few years back and leaked his whatsapp chats as a punishment for attacking them while living in their state. He had such a wild screen presence once that everyone just agreed that he does uppers before coming on camera.
