In May, a court rejected Lai’s bid to halt his security trial on grounds that it was being heard by judges picked by Hong Kong’s leader. That is a departure from the common law tradition China promised to preserve for 50 years after the former British colony returned to China in 1997.
Don't tell me that British laws are actually that corrupt. No way, right?
Since we are on the topic of time measurements, take Caesar and Augustus's names off of my calendar please and thank you.Also, if you can fill in February to be full 30 days, that'd be great as well. Take a day off from each of the emperors.
But have you considered that it's a voluntary fee that you're paying after choosing from a wide selection of electricity providers? Checkmate communists.
Do chuds really think that we love liberal Russia that was built on top of the corpse of the Soviet Union? Built by the Chicago School and cooperative robber-barons?We keep repeating that we hate Nazis and western imperialism, and this is something we have been collectively saying for close to a hundred years. They still don't get it.
One of the few French things that I like (alongside the metric system and the Paris Commune) as an exception from all their years of mostly disgusting history. The name was coopted for a soc dem magazine of all things. It's truly incredible how America can ruin everything that I like.
Evidently, the society isn't mature enough handle people using bathrooms yet.Fuck it. Destroy all bathrooms. We go back to peeing in the woods and throwing poop buckets down the street.
Why are anarchists so vulnerable to subversion? Communist orgs have been infiltrated no less than anarchists (probably more thoroughly tbh), but we don't get subverted as often by the feds. No, don't mention trots please.Is it because of their theoretical basis in idealism? The lack of a true vanguard party? Due to our historical antagonism?
Same. There's way too much theory to go thorough. My kindle is filled to the brim with theory and I don't think I can finish it with in my lifetime tbh. How did Gramsci manage to write faster than I can read?
Of course, this operation was Russia's idea, but it blew up in their face. So America wins big by grinding through Russian equipment and army by just handing over their outdated equipment to Ukraine. Where does Russia puppeting America come into the equation? You seem very conspiracy minded.
It's ironic how liberals yell authoritarianism every time China's brought up on fediverse. One of the few criticisms I have of China is that they're letting liberals run too free in Hong Kong, Shanghai, etc. but that's still not enough freedom for liberals who really just want to suppress other opinions so that it's outside the realm of acceptable discourse.
Yes, but countries like France will at least resist and denounce American attempts that infringe upon their sovereignty.Yellow-bellied Australia is unique in their submissiveness even among American allies.
But have you considered that Americans have more money, the objectively most important measure of life?
