    This is some of the purest, uncut copium I have encountered this year. The entire point of the hypersonic weapons China just tested is to evade our existing interception methods. As for MAD, every nation with nuclear capability chooses where it draws its lines, and when it pulls the trigger...

    A partially successful test of an orbital weapon is not mere propaganda. Telling ourselves "they won't do it" is not a deterrent. They absolutely would do it if they convinced themselves of a favorable outcome. Whether the CCP rules a nation of 1500 million or 500 million matters less to them...

    Nuclear weapons do not need to be perfectly accurate to inflict terrible damage and mass fatalities. Again, the significance of such weapons is not to fight our military, but to threaten our empire as a whole with MAD nuclear exchange if we were to attempt to employ our superior conventional...

    If China can make a credible threat of mutually assured destruction, our ability to stage foreign invasions is rendered moot in places that China chooses to occupy. In the face of NATO attempts to establish ABM systems, weapons such as this seem quite relevant.

    I offered justification for their censorship of degenerate content, not their ethnic cleansing of Muslims and cruel treatment of dissidents. But, regarding those, I see little point in raging against them. That's how the Han roll... and it's better than permitting Muslim conquest, as some...

    Well shit, I hope this doesn't result in a run on solar panels.

    The CCP is about as communist as Scientologists are scientists. They do teach obedience to the state, but obedience and order being the highest values is normal in Asian nations. There's really no reason to fault them for that. I'm not so keen on how they're hyping their population up for...

    If you want to make a case that people who were already vulnerable gravitated toward stuff like anime, I'd be open to it, but I will not pretend weebs aren't a prime recruiting ground. I've seen too much of it, both among fanfic communities I used to hang with, and more recently among family...

    The concern about a "sanitized world" is a straw-man argument. I have not suggested any such thing, rather, I have suggested that consuming media full of gratuitous violence, promiscuity, and sleaze, could in fact be bad ideas. There is plenty of literature and even modern media that includes...

    I've enjoyed anime for most of my life. Yet when I look back on the media I was consuming, I cannot help but remember the constant violence, promiscuity, and creepy shit like Princess Fatora's twelve-year-old concubine in El Hazard. Not to mention the relative lack of stoicism and moral virtue...

    The CCP are like the Dwarves. The Dwarves are for the Dwarves. Soros is an agent of Tash, who goes into other lands and whispers in ears, "this sack of gold will be yours, to purchase what you wish, if only you do my will".
