Specifically, a set of regulations for car functions that will require physical controls

China just rolled out a new set of regulations about that exact thing for public review and feedback lol

It would be one thing if the companies were publicly answerable and their executives could be recalled and punished for neglect at any time, like in China, of course, but in the US? Where owners and executives are more powerful than any feudal autocrat? Don't make me laugh lol

Ok, so you were just highballing the time until your 60's lol. You're 4 years older

Wait, are you younger then me!?

Any successful revolution becomes evil and satanic by virtue of its success; to the western mind only failed revolutions and dead revolutionaries are clean. In the end, I couldn't maintain that view because I lack the death-seeking mindset. I want to live, and win.

Anticommunism is a religion like any other

But I firmly believe there is no evidence that could possibly convince you of this, which is why I want to drop it; I don't believe I could convince you of this any more than I could convince a Christian that Jesus was not divine

...the fact that very soon they're going to be the first nation in human history to have no citizens living in poverty? I literally can't think of a single better indication than that

But I can't make you do any of that, so it's probably best just to drop this

Sure it is, if you actually look into it and don't just read western news

Stalin wasn't the issue, Khrushchev was. But you're right, the USSR did fall. China hasn't, though, and its rise can no longer be stopped

I never liked "queer" as a term, even reclaimed, for that reason, because it has no real content. It's merely an expression of the emotion of discomfort.

I'd far rather they die alone in some alley than grant them the dignity and effort of torture

You wouldn't even need to dirty your hands, they'd be dead in a week, either by exposure or their own hands

If you strapped them to a chair and mutilated them they'd still be able to convince themselves they mattered to you. Just take everything they have away from them and then say "wait, you're still here? get lost. good luck finding a job"

I'll be honest, I just want them stripped of their wealth and power; being thrust into the life of one of the little people they despise would be a far more horrifying punishment for them than any physical torture

Oh, that's neat!

I prefer being a victor to being a martyr

I mean, if not for the stalinists the Nazis would have won, though, which was kind of my point
