Brueggs Posted November 30, 2022 Posted November 30, 2022 Another interesting development. Apple has disabled Airdrop, but only in China. How effed up is that? They allow TikTok, even though they know that China is using it to gather information. Hopefully Elon starts a smart phone company. Its long past due that American citizens start voting with their dollars, because that is the vote that really counts.

To not rile China more than he has on Taiwan. I may disagree with it but that's why. China is a danger. 12 hours ago, Chef Jim said: Trump? Why bring up Trump? What does he have to do with this? 🙄 We brought up Biden and DeSantis and their reactions to China's totalitarianism. Trump was president so his reaction matters too. The point is: US presidents need to be more circumspect than state governors.

Brueggs Posted November 30, 2022 Posted November 30, 2022 Pretty quiet on the Lib front. I suspect they are wrestling with the hypocrisy seeing it come full circle. It would be comical if nations weren't literally getting wrecked over it. 1

They're conflicted over the Chinese people protesting for democracy and against lockdowns. That seems about right. I love this White House statement... "We've long said everyone has the right to peacefully protest, here in the United States, and around the world. This includes in the PRC". Are they insinuating that they have the power to tell other nations what their citizens have a right to do? If the PRC keeps going, they might have to paint it as an "insurrection"...
JaCrispy Posted November 30, 2022 Posted November 30, 2022 (edited) Why does it seem like Leftists constantly contradict themselves with their hypocrisy? Because they base their arguments on emotion instead of logic, so there is never any congruency to their positions… It’s always “Whatever feels good to me now” or “Whatever gives me a political advantage on this topic”, and we will just deal with the next issue when it comes… They don’t seem to have a set of values that they apply to all issues… That’s why they can support (or pretend to) the Covid protestors in China but be against the Covid protestors in Canada…They can be against Nazis in America, but support Nazis in Ukraine…They claim to be for free speech, unless it disagrees with their speech… Edited November 30, 2022 by JaCrispy 2 2

B-Man Posted November 30, 2022 Posted November 30, 2022 Back to China XI JINPING UNMASKED: The Tiananmen Tiger Stalks the Chinese Communist Government. Throughout the country protesters — some wearing surgical masks– stand before cellphone cameras and raise blank sheets of white paper. Right — white empty space. To paraphrase Cool Hand Luke, sometimes nothing is a real cool message. The blank sheets simultaneously satirize and defy the CCP’s malignant state censorship. My translation of the blank: “We Chinese citizens say nothing yet you CCP tyrants fear our thoughts.” The empty page attacks the CCP’s systemic truth denial. Check it out. https://strategypage.com/on_point/202211309119.aspx

Some Tesla's had problems, and the guy couldn't see his Twitter responses. That isn't even close to preventing citizens from communicating without government oversight.
