US gained the rights to legally murder its own citizens without due process under Obama.
Also loads of giving corporations and capital rights, and rolling back protective anti-investment gambling under Democrat administrations, which ate up the rights of non-capital.
He had one, but he fired her and looks to be too stubborn and sure of his own competence to hire another one (or maybe too proud to admit that she was right and useful after firing her for petty reasons).
Mainland PRC has no entries after 2016 for the UN site.
The London Prison studies one has an estimate for 2018, and says based off of UN data.
On 百度 I get mixed figures, from 3900 and another states At least 700 a year, but I also think it’s talking more globally.
Doesn’t seem to be public government statistics, like the UK or EU gov data sites, which would be nice to check things out and show to the rabid anti-China folks.
That’s the UN data for Hong Kong, but it was easy enough to find the page for the PRC, excluding Hong Kong and Macao. The figures still line up well enough (noting, as the other page does that it exclude statistics about people interred in the “vocational training schools”), although the UN doesn’t have figures post 2016.
UN page doesn’t seem to have execution rates either, which would also impact incarceration rates.
Not to say that the US isn’t atrocious and also terrible on all those metrics, and plumbing new lows with each successive presidency. I was just kinda hoping for some more official PRC reported figures.
I’ve been looking for Chinese prison-crime-etc. data. Do you have a link?
It being in Mandarin isn’t a problem.
Make it a question with a third ma.
So “ma ma ma?” (妈麻吗?)
But fish mint is delicious.
Wash the roots and snap them into little bits, toss them up with some diced onion and chili oil.
The leaves go great in salad.
Getting involved in actual politics at a local level is better long run than voting in big elections.
The latter is damage control. The former long run positive change.
Yes. The Second World War had a deathtoll about 60 times higher. (.3 is much more than I gave it credit for.)
Korean War probably more than 3 million.
Returning to smaller scale war is not an end of war. Nor even close to ending wars. Imperialism causes wider ranging wars is all, as whole networks of military apparatus are mobilised. Modern empires are more nebulous.
Edit: also, your WW2 figure is including civilians and acts of genocide. I think your Vietnamese figure is combatants only.
Yes, the Korean war was the biggest with soldiers from dozens of countries dying in action, with a localised theatre.
But how many of those civil wars were hot parts of the Cold War? Can we not lump them into a single Cold War total?
The death toll of the world wars is huge, but equally the death tolls of the strife across Saharan and Central Africa and the Middle East isn’t insignificant. Do we just leave it off the record because the combatants are only our proxies? Fighting with our guns, for our benefit, rather than a war on land we’ve yet to relinquish control over?
Edit: though I’ve gone on a massive tangent. My original point that I let my mind forget and spout off on a tangent, was that there have been lots of wars with coalitions of allies feeding arms to the sides, as we now see in Ukraine in the intervening 70 years. Just less close to home.
That was more my point.
Exporting the death and suffering to far off parts of the world and calling it world peace. The only difference with Ukraine is it is closer to home, for most of the G7 anyhow.
Chinese Civil War pII?
Korean War?
Vietnam War?
and Secret War and Third Sino-Vietnamese War?
6 Day War?
Somalian Civil War?
Nigerian Civil War?
Yemeni Civil War?
I the term AnCap is the usual one.
You get plenty of left-wing or left leaning Egoists, based off of the Stirnirian approach to Anarchism. So that’s out, regardless.
If only people had friends, meaningful occupations, local amenities they enjoyed.
Something that would cause them to be invested in the wellbeing of the community, town, neighbourhood they had chosen to live in.
If only there was some way for the other people who lived somewhere to think about the future of their homes and community.
Shame capitalism inventivises against all that in favour of profits and convenience. 🤷🏽
No, that’s us Brits’!
You can’t take our last sport we’re reliably competitive in from us!
It’s not with the administration, it’s with Elon.
Free Speech™ is when you can spout racist and ignorant comments without repurcussion at the top of your lungs, literally or metaphorically online.
Disagreeing with Elon though, that isn’t Free Speech™, that’s treachery and evil and small minded bigotry.
Oh, I figured they counted as a huge loss of civil liberties.
