The main explanation I’ve heard was that it was the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka who did it originally, and other terrorist organizations followed. Another is that during the Lod Airport Massacre one of the attackers blew himself up with a grenade, which was supposedly the inspiration for future terrorists, but I doubt that explanation.

I prefer this one:
But yes, you’re right about how people in America (and more broadly the west in general) can be pretty hypocritical about things they decry happening elsewhere. As I like to say: “we do have a social credit system here: we actively choose to participate and perpetuate it rather than it being forced upon us like in China.”
@Zincy
You also encounter a lot of those “if they did ‘x’ here, I’d shoot them!” type people? My response to them is always “ok asshole, how many federal agents or police officers have you shot in the fight for freedom?” to which they always respond with “something something muh glowposting something” or “it’s not that bad yet, but when it is…” or some other hokey excuse that shows that they’re no different than the people they criticise.

For me that’s less of a general political discussion and more of a specific technological implementation. And from that standpoint I don’t see a problem. If a problem happens I’ll deal with it then, but right now someone being an asshole to a committee doesn’t really bother me.
If you do ask in the ‘important questions’ thread please at least explain why you think it effects this site. Because if it doesn’t effect this site then it doesn’t effect this site and us worrying about it is a waste of time and effort that we could instead be spending on the actual problems we actually have.

A former diplomat released a book denouncing Mahathir, a former prime minister of Malaysia, as responsible for the racist and religiously-obsessed mentality of the Malaysian government. He also stated that he is worried that PAS is dragging Malaysia closer to Wahhabism, which meant that non-Muslims will have less freedoms.

Biden has moved to require that companies over 100 employees implement vaccine mandates or implement mandatory weekly testing.
I had a feeling that once one of the vax got full approval that something like this would be on the way.
This rules change will affect roughly 100 million workers in the US. And while a large chunk of those workers are already vaxed, many are not.
Companies that fail to do so will be fined per unvaccinated employee.
It’s likely that employers in “at will” and “right to work” states will fire or layoff employees that refuse. Workers in other states are likely to face disciplinary actions leading to dismissal.
Biden has also evoked the defense production act to speed up the production of testing kits and needles.
This is the most aggressive response to the virus to date.
Those who are jobless, get ready, cause there’s about to be oodles of open positions when all the MAGA idiots are fired.

Which is good, as while the first shot did nothing to me the second shot sent my allergies into a frenzy.
Nothing a little antihistamine and a lie down didn’t fix though.

Yes, very. In the case of North Korea, fairly solidly for the better - China there might be more debate about. (And at the same time, a lot of things are also similar, cause people are people.)

Imagine if one idiot uses theirs.

The rightoids would REEEE about it, get their tacticool AR-15s with their shitty overpriced optics that they never bothered zeroing, waddle out to their immense gas-guzzling pickups, drive round the block, go home because gas is either too expensive or not available, hope on Facebook, and complain about “dem eval communists!” and blame “George Soros and the Chinese!” for what’s happening.

Why I do feel that there will be a shitfest of people getting pissed at the obligatory vaccines?

The abortion Gestapo in Texas has found a new host for their website. They’ve “declined” to publicly say who the host is, but I have no doubt that the public will learn soon.
They plan to relaunch tomorrow.
Time to rev up that Shrek porn and get a list of GOP donors names and addresses.

tehwatever
get a list of GOP donors names and addresses.
I see. You gonna beat them at their own game. You gonna report staunch Pro-Lifers as people who’ve aborted or planning to abort. Make them hella sus of each other.
If that blacklist of Abortion Offenders are all full of FAKE reports then you can expect two things: GOP donors to turn on each other OR, conclude that the list can’t be trusted and is therefore useless and unreliable as a source of information.
