Well Trump has a few investigations going so hopefully next year the Dems will be rendered impotent and unable to bury the Hunter Biden investigation. I've always considered the Dems to be incredibly corrupt. I dont really know what Tr

Firstly, it's difficult to talk about this because discussing anything the media wilfully chooses to ignore sounds like a conspiracy theory (media self-censorship is incredibly powerful). Secondly just because something reflects badly

The argument to ban TikTok doesn't need to be complicated. Simply block Chinese media apps the same way China blocks all external media apps within its own borders. In the context of any other kind of trade relationship would it be ac

What nonsense. Being concerned with Twitter's behaviour is neither "right-wing propaganda or disinformation". Your comment might be considered disinformation though.

Yes the town square has been both monopolised and privatised. And there's now been this complete role reversal where Democrats (the "great defenders of democracy") are arguing that private media companies can do whatever they

Then why the need for so much censorship like we have seen with Twitter?

Joe Biden (AKA "The Big Guy") was taking a cut from Hunter Biden's ridiculous business dealings with foreign entities (otherwise known as "influence peddling"). With zero relevant business experience Hunter Biden wa

It's amazing how easy it is for the media to make something a conspiracy theory, no matter how important or factual. Just dont talk about it. Effortless.

Lets just say the Dems are getting a much better value for money on this issue... At least for now anyway.

Yes I thought advocating for bringing manufacturing back onshore meant you were an economic illiterate and a xenophobe. I guess that was before supply-chain security became important and the only consequence was the people that dont matter

The Dems have found a loophole. As private companies, big tech can legally suppress speech and censor anything the Dems dont like. And in return the Dems allow them to retain their monopolies and massively unethical business practices. I do

China does not need Apple, in fact there would be significant benefit to Apple exiting China. More power, more control for the CCP. China has the capacity to do very serious damage to Apple, potentially even put the company at risk if they

I dont really care what the per-capita measures look like. If you are claiming concessions as a "developing economy" whilst spending money on Mars rovers, space stations, building the world's biggest nuclear arsenal etc, then

Can you provide examples where Apple has taken a stand (at their own personal cost) against China? Doesn't seem to be such a "complex power dynamic" at all maybe? Maybe some "dumbing down" might be useful to a crowd

Agreed. And maybe they should not take the high moral ground on other issues, telling others how to think and behave, when they themselves are happy to accept filthy lucre in return for compromising their own ethics. I personally cannot sta

A good indication of a cult is that there is a shopping list of specific core beliefs (say 20) you are expected to believe. And you believe 19 of them but on the 20th you have a slightly different view. If this causes you to be banished and
