A couple of years ago I'd assume that someone who can't tell it's a joke wouldn't be able to create an account on HN, or - if they somehow succeeded - would die of suffocation by forgetting to breathe while writing a com

You can't measure something (eg a length or time) without comparing with something else, and the same way you can't claim hostility without comparing it with other states. Especially in the context where it's very obviously

I think the majority of the western world would disagree with the first sentence, I know I would. But at the same time the people of Taiwan generally prefer things to stay as they are right now; independence with everything it involves isn

Every single one of your points applies at least as much, if not more, to US - from human rights violations, to “saber rattling”, to spyware and backdoors. I could also add forced labor ( https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news&

Funny how some people are so brainwashed they assume anything that doesn’t match their own state propaganda is somebody else’s propaganda, not a honest opinion.

No, not really - fundamentally broken things like this one are worse than useless, because they degrade security by making it harder to understand the situation.

“Life from birth” doesn’t exist, but we know well where that fringe theory originated. Bodily autonomy is one of the fundamental human rights: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodily_integrity
