No, we’re corrupt because we don’t just fall in line and say “Russia bad.” More reasons we are corrupt:

T-30 until the rubles hit my bank account (look to other comments for where I made my collection of Xi bucks). No reasonable person would ever give critical support to any nation other than the US because the US is the greatest, most free, most powerful, and most moral country in the world. This forum is a horde of circle-jerking Russian/Chinese bots who simultaneously are ignorant children who freeload off our parents. We’ll never leave the comfort of our echo chamber despite remaining federated with all the shitlib instances. We’ll forever be brainwashed because we are no better than the Nazis, worse even! “Middle” of perfectly accurate horseshoe best! Communists ruin the internet! Communists ruined Reddit, which is why we got kicked off!

Yawn I think that about summarizes all the normal positions they come in with. I’d say that someday they’ll come up with new and interesting arguments and insults, but as a stupid Tankie, I think sharing a toothbrush would be more interesting than anything they’ll come up with in the future.

Mining is only one of many threats to Madidi.

I know one of these park rangers and, to my recollection, they don’t ever carry guns in their line of work, though it’s been a few years since we last saw each other and talked about this. The poachers and drug traffickers they run up against often do carry guns. Some of those participating are desperate locals, some aren’t. Aside from the legal attacks, there have regularly been serious personal threats and even attacks on those trying to protect the park from mining and poaching.

These sorts of things have been going on down there for a long time and the people working to oppose them are overwhelmed.

Cap it to 1 until everyone has a home, then we’ll see what’s reasonable.

Damn the stigma. Number 5 is the one that most effectively lets you squirt liquids in the eyes of Reviewer 2 so you can then run away cackling.

To be clear, Reviewer 2 deserved it. Reviewer 2 always deserves it.

So are pig stations, corporate mansions, US military bases, and summer homes…but they are guarded. Usually.

Don’t forget they tend to also choose either black or yellow in addition to red. While you were watching the woman in red, the extreme leftists were sneaking up behind you.

If they get that war they want, I bet those RoC flags will be up within a week.

TBF, they believe something similar to a genocide has been ongoing in the DPRK since the 50s. Not sure how they reconcile this with their beliefs about the mindless Korean hordes doing the Kim’s bidding. You’d think if they killed everyone for such small infractions as they claim, there would be no labor force left by now.

Their beliefs about the DPRK are wholly rooted in fantasy. Look at their blind trust for everything Park Yeon-mi has claimed.

I have not seen anything suggesting that said investments are highly conditional or designed to keep the recipients dependent on them indefinitely.

There are examples of them writing off unpaid debt in favor of completing the projects to maintain a good relationship with the countries they are working with. They don’t seem to do this lightly, and sometimes it’s only the interest, not the entire loan, but it does happen. This difference in approach can be easily picked up in western media as well despite them often moving goal posts and not telling the entire story of IMF loan programs compared to BRI programs.

Yeah, that’s part of what I was getting at. It’s not just entitlement, you have to dehumanize women to think this way. They are possessions to be owned, which is part of why they can be “corrupted.” You only ever see adult men seriously referring to women as “girls”, and it’s usually a sign that deep down they have no respect for women and don’t see them as equal peers.
