Bitcoin drops 50% from its peak value
  • pimento pimento 3y ago 100%

    And this is going to be a big one. Likely the biggest in a century.

    On the other hand, Bitcoin is very volatile, and had a similar crash just half a year ago.

    Your rant is really confusing, no idea what you are trying to say. Anyway the topic isnt really about transgender people. The linked article states: "Police Scotland said that they would log rapes as being carried out by a woman if the accused person insists, even if they have not legally changed gender". So according to that, a man can rape someone, and when caught, tell police that he's actually a woman (probably hoping to get a lower sentence). How is that beneficial for anyone but rapists?

    Following the overthrow of the Abdullah Hamdok government in Sudan in the final week of October, which had been installed following a Western-backed military coup in April 2019, Sudan’s new interim government has indicated that it will proceed with plans to construct a Russian military base on the Red Sea. [...] With the pro-Western government that was installed by the 2019 coup having been removed from power, the possibility not only of a base but also of transfers of high end Russian hardware to Sudan has again been raised.

    Damn /r/communism mods are pretty Maoist
  • pimento pimento 3y ago 100%

    The articles that are linked are not easy to read but I guess they are targeted towards someone who is more enlightened about the broader context.

    I think this is generally a big red flag. If there is an important point, then it should be possible to explain it in a way that everyone understands. If they link that to someone who is new, they might do it on purpose to avoid any discussion.

    The UN hasnt declared that a genocide is happening in Xinjiang. By your logic, that makes them equal to Holocaust deniers.

    Then the United Nations are holocaust deniers. Fact is that no international court or UN organ has even investigated the alleged genocide. Innocent until proven guilty.

    Its okay to disagree

    If theres one thing I really dislike, its when people try to force their own opinion on others. Liberals do that all the time, for example when they come across someone who questions the supposed "Uighur genocide". But its not just liberals, a lot of leftists and communists online show the same behaviour. Except they hold the opposite view on certain questions. But when faced with someone who holds the "wrong" opinion, they are just as fierce in trying to force their views on others. Edit, I should add that I also used to do this a lot. In my opinion, this kind of behaviour wont get us anywhere. Nobody will change their opinion because someone online said that they were wrong, and threw a dozen sources at them. Instead they will probably get angry, and strengthen their belief out of spite. I think what we should do instead is try to accept that everyone is entitled to their opinion, even if we disagree. This leads to much more fruitful discussions, where we can get to know the opinions of others without anyone getting upset. And even if we disagree on some issues, there are surely others where we agree, and can work together to make something positive. Rant over.

    Protip for watching Chinese movies: find the Chinese title (eg from Wikipedia), and search that on youtube. Usually you can find a subtitled version that way.

    Propaganda and the Media: Fact-Checking
    http://thesaker.is/propaganda-and-the-media-fact-checking-part-7/

    The author makes some very good arguments regarding fact checking websites and media in general (even if his views on vaccinations may be questionable). He also clearly doesnt know Marxism, but if you replace the "International Cabal of Gangsters" with the bourgeoisie, it is surprisingly accurate.

    Okay thats good, but I still dont understand what the hell you are talking about. You keep talking about atrocities in China, but all you have shown are fake news. I am not "falling on the sword" and I am not gaining anything. I have simply investigated the issue and cone to a conclusion. If you disagree with my opinion, thats not my problem.

    You are literally spreading fake news right now: The Case of the Keriya Aitika Mosque. As for the wikipedia article, did you actually look at any of the sources? If you do, please let me know how many of them go back to the US funded lunatic Adrian Zenz.

    I have a question for you, do you consider the massacre against Palestinians as a genocide? What about the Saudi slaughter in Yemen, or the brutal US occupation of Arabic countries in East Asia and Africa? Before you cry whataboutism, I simply want to know if you actually care about human rights, or just parrot the western narrative against its official enemies.

    There is plenty of evidence out there for mosque burnings and separations of families.

    I didnt see that evidence, show it to me please.

    You really trust that everything is rosey in there? How naive are you?

    Interesting times we are in, where asking to see evidence for a crime makes you naive. I guess judges are also naive if they dont sentence people based on hearsay.

    There is even a US military base in the middle of Seoul. And military police walks around (presumably to prevent their soldiers from being too violent against civilians). Also lots of night clubs in Seoul have signs that US soldiers are not allowed to enter.
