I don’t know, and I’m sorry for being late.
 
India has banned many businesses from China (like TikTok) after accusing them of spying. I don’t know about any remaining Chinese businesses in India and conditions for them to stay in India. If you would like more info, check it out here.
 
I guess one condition is that they are not spying on India. India was able to get away with flipping China off, because it’s a large country. Smaller and poorer countries might end up having no trade with China at best, or risk occasional incursions at worst (especially if they are nearby).
 
Australia is almost resisting China’s dominance by rejecting the One Belt One Road programme, and so the Chinese government threatened to cut off its trade. Maybe it’s the other big resistor.

So according to the Derpibooru Anti-Nazi DNP Pledge, “creating a safe space for nazis” = “Not making them feel like Paula Alquist Anton 24/7”. Maybe I’m tinfoil hatting again. Actually, would any Aryanne be allowed on Furbooru in any form?

Literally only three people in the country’s entire government wanted the BRI, all three are in the Victorian state government and I believe the two who aren’t Premier are Chinese. And they wanted it to build a freeway next to a military base. Clearly espionage, especially considering the lengths they went to build it to that design despite a bad business case… Though I wonder what life would be like under a Chinese embargo. Would people in other countries be banned from distributing computer hardware and software here, like is currently the case in Cuba, Syria and North Korea?

“How did Trump lose? The election was rigged!”.
 
It’s really not that complicated. Trump lost 5 states he won in 2016. And 3 of those states he won by a COMBINED 77k votes, or less than 1% each.

Even without anyalizing the 2020 election there were still plenty of red flags for Trump.
 
  1. He never broke 50% approval. During an age where elections are won on single digit differences, holding the dubious honor of being the only president in the history of polling to never have at least half the country say “Yeah he’s doing alright” is not a good sign.
     
  2. Even in the election he won he still got less votes. Somehow Democrats putting forward an unlikeable and unwinnable candidate still meant Trump only wins on a technicality. That does not bode well if he would go up against someone remotely more likeable.
     
  3. He spent the entire term alienating everyone except his core base. It’s already an open secret that Republicans have a minority of voters compared to Democrats. Pissing off Democrats won’t do much on changing their minds anyways (although it sure backfired on having them turn out to vote against him…), but shaving off the more tentative Republican voters is not a good strat in light of the above.
     
  4. Covid handed him the election on a golden platter, and he bungled it. Like, Trump’s phenomenal incompetence is a running theme through most things involving or related to him. But somehow bungling a Rally Around The Flag effect so close to an election takes the cake.

Who what and more importantly: WHY?
 
Medical practicioners of derpibooru I ask you: is it common practice to be in white coat with hanging a stethoscope around your neck when you in public?
 
Do doctors actually run around in public looking like stock images when you look up “doctor” on Google?
 
This bothered me then, still bothers me now.

Speaking of CRT madness, there’s been an uptick in Republican legislatures demanding the banning of CRT courses from schools after Juneteenth became a holiday.
 
Which is weird on 2 accounts. 1, we just got a holiday celebrating the ending of slavery and Republicans want to ban people knowing that for some reason. 2, there is no such thing as “CRT courses” in school.
 
 
@tehwatever
 
It’s optics. Parade smart and respected-looking people around who ostensibly support Trump as theatre, and Fox News will no joke spend the next several weeks on back to back coverage about how ‘This smart and respectable-looking people like Trump! Shouldn’t you?’
 
Reminder that they once pulled and replaced one of Trump’s rally-goers on-air because he was visibly confused at Trump’s ramblings instead of blindly accepting.

@Dustcan  
I see.
 
I assume bussing in ppl from somewhere and putting smart, respectable, and generally ppl who look like they could appeal to their target demographic is common practice in presidential rallies by all candidates?
 
Is actually pretty clever. I wonder if a candidate has once swapped their background characters with cute young girls in cosplay to appeal to the increasingly vocal, increasingly political and erratic Gamers crowd.
 
If a candidate was to place a young professional woman in a hijab in the crowd behind him during rallies and she smiles to the camera every so often, I’d consider voting for them.

This kind of cosplaying may be a sign that he’s either way less important to the profession than he wants to be, or he’s a straight-up quack.
 
It reminds me of this creationist auto mechanic who filmed videos wearing a lab coat and calling himself a “scientist” (no discipline, just a…scientist). Or Ian Juby, who always dressed up like Indiana Jones when he went on Carl Baugh’s show and got called “Professor.”

There is or very soon will be CRT in american schools - @silbasa
 
Your country’s enemies are using your internal division to weaken you further with propaganda. Instead of going for national unity the american left is helping them by preparing the fields for their ideological harvest of chaos.
 
It is very important to counter this but very few people on the left in America seem to realize the danger.

I’ve been saying that for the last couple years!
 
Difference is I’m not using this line of talk to spread “The real racists are the ones who says racism is bad!” bunk, but instead focusing on the talking heads on Youtube or Fox News et al spreading “The real racists are the ones who says racism is bad!” bunk.

I’ve seen this song and dance before from paranoid right wingers who thought the military labeled them as potential terrorists.
 
They’re not describing socialists as terrorists. They merely seem to be acknowledging at the very least that there have been socialist terrorists in the past. Whether it’s a prudent thing to mention when left wing terrorism has been virtually non-existent since the cold war is another matter.
 
A single page in a training manual referencing socialist terrorism among other types of political terrorism is hardly evidence that all socialists are immediately under suspicion of being terrorists. Nobody is being trained to round people up and send them to Guantanamo Bay for their political views.

Judge rules that Barr and Trump and other top brass DOJ have qualified immunity over the gassing of Layafete Square so Trump can have his upside down bible photo-op. But the rank and file grunts don’t, because ‘they should’ve known better’.
 
So basically the Nuremburg Defense doesn’t work for the grunts at the bottom of the food chain. Trump-appointed judge says their ass is grass for their participation in the gassing and beating of protestors. But at the same time says the maggots festering at top who ordered the act in the first place are cool as ice.
 
Sure seems like people at top being above the law again.
