Turkey China and other dictatorships

[Bereta_Eder]

Actually turkey is better
China is a communist dictaroship that needs lots and lots of bombs to become human,

It has no human rights. It is a disgrace on the face of humanity and all it is being done is blowing up one baloon.
Anyway I'm not saying that was bad but that every freedom democracy human rights person in the world should know once and for all


that china is a f dictatorship that kills people with mental diseases has no JUSTICE and mjust be condemned in the coniscousness of every decent person in this globe


also turkey keeps threaten us with war but here's greek first quake responders saving one turkish baby after the other

and that's our difference (I'm siure though that the average turk feels the same)

here a 6 year old girl named fatme (unfortunately her sister didn;t make it)

apparenytly the one thing trending in turkey now is "THANK YOU GREECE"

the turkish media are infatuated with the greek saving squad.


and an old turk has said I prefer a valient enemy by my side to a slimy/weak friend

difference is we are NOT your enemy whatever erdogan says


another says I will remeber greeks as the people who cried of joy after rescuing turkish babies and not of the war of old

the devastation though is immense

maybe erdogan should have been busy fixing his coyntry than discovering exeternal enemies

Hopefully peace and improved relations will be one result of this tragedy.

I dunno, Pickles - China is worse in the more dangerous sense, 'cause one's China and the other's not.

-But I really hate to see a place go stupid-mindless -we're struggling with that here in the US, sure; that's why I hate it so- and I don't think that's such a special problem w/ China...

[Bereta_Eder]

I will write down your statment to ignoranmce uncle. you're probably left wing like me but it is an absolute lack of real world experiences that would even make you co,pare the US to China in what regards humnaity and justice.


I didn't say what I said because china is dangerous, maybe it is, but because it is a dictatroship with no justice that conde,mns and kills people that democracies would have shown lenience and mercy

china is a murderer and you can't polish this f turd

(also nice homage to the greek saving squads ion turkey)

I was merely addressing the Going Stupid, and I stand behind my remark.

I think he was talking about divisiveness among the people and extremism getting political traction. It is the fact that the USA IS a democracy and China ISN'T that causes that judgement. Chinese citizens are obviously not allowed to "Go Stupid". They cannot suggest or seriously try to affect the regime's decisions on what is acceptable or not.

A Democracy is free to experiment with ideas and free to resist change. Some of both can most definitely be called "Going Stupid". In the end, it should work out if people will just remain calm about it all.

I think the only comparison here was to say that Democracy is WAY better that Authoritarianism.

Sure, some of it's that - I sorta think the general breakdown, here in the US, of the many small cooperations our society needs to function at all is as serious a problem as they tried to overthrow the government.

Let's be a little realistic about the "try and overthrow the government" thing, can we? It was mostly a mob of tagalongs. There may have been ulterior motive behind it, but I don't think it is realistic to say that a mob of a few hundred people could overthrow the government..

I do agree that the divisiveness that both political parties are encouraging is beginning to affect stability at the local level. The extremes of Police violence against citizens on one hand and freezing them into inaction on the other is beginning to cause real problems.

Instead of "defunding" or "providing alternatives to policing"...why don't we just recruit, train, and pay high level individuals to do the job right?

You're engaging in what Keith Obermann -who behaves badly in public, but did have the guts to call Nazis Nazis back before it was popular- calls "A false moral equivalence". The left mostly burned out on the hippy poo-slinging in the 70s - it's the Republikkkans doing way more than their -almost- half of the 'encouraging divisiveness', going back to Reagan and really escalating lately.

As for the police - we need police. Period.



Related, a cursory search indicates that I've never before discussed Antifa at Poly, notwithstanding a certain trashy liar. Well, here goes - as appealing as the notion of punching Nazis is --- I don't know a great deal about the Spanish Civil War, but it sure did demonstrate that combatting fascists with the street violence -that is fascists' signature piece- is a really bad idea. -That's what I concluded a long time ago about Antifa.

Well...we will have to agree to disagree on who is doing "way more" to cause divisiveness. I DO think both parties try to use it to their political advantage...and, I must say, to the detriment of the country.

As for the Police - we need good police. Now the Period!

Antifa is a real problem. If anyone is seriously trying to overthrow government, it is them. It is their stated goal afterall.

From the Congressional Research Service:

"The U.S. antifa movement appears to be decentralized, consisting of independent, radical, like-minded groups and individuals. Its tenets can dovetail with the principles of anarchism, socialism, and communism."
