@VD15 I don't follow the guy, is he actually claiming he had a "second puberty"? I heard it somewhere else recently, but I still don't believe it.

Just when I was preparing to make a post, reminding people of how atrocious bluetooth support is on Linux, the Wifi decided to have a hiccup and stop working for a few secs. You can't make this shit up.

As for bluetooth. It has weird moments when it insists on disconnecting bluetooth headsets every 10 seconds or so. At some points, after I keep insisting, it magically starts working fine. I tried to rule out interference, but that doesn't seem to be the issue. Restarts don't affects things either. Then it decided to crap out on connecting to a bluetooth mouse too.

Meanwhile, booted my Win10 (installed on an external SSD btw, best gadget I have by far), everything worked perfectly.

@verita84 Israel's intelligence has eyes on their potential and actual enemies. What else is new? How do you think they pull off things like the pager bombs, or blowing up Iran nuclear centrifuges?

"Let me smell my own farts about how I don't listen to western propaganda, and how I know better that China is such a good capitalist country."

Meanwhile, in the real world, the horrors of state planned economy, where everything fails in ways you couldn't even imagine.

So before I got distracted, I had a thought today.
For this one, let's assume there's something big in the Epstein files. What, I don't know. But I'm gonna pretend I fully believe this, for this post.

If Democrats didn't want to use it, for whatever reason. And now Trump and co. seems scared shitless and don't want to talk about this thing. This makes me ask a question, to myself first and foremost, and to anyone who wants to listen.
Do you think you can handle whatever is in there?

I saw the interview Blaire White had with one of the victims. I'm convinced the experience traumatized her to where it fucked her brain. Like fully. Alex Jones looks calm, stable and sane by comparison.
If the Epstein files are truly horrific, as bad as people have been hyping it do be, do you trust you can survive with your mental health if you were to see it?

What if Trump and co. saw something that rattled them deeply, and they just think the average man wouldn't be able to handle it? I know people will say all sorts of things here, and object about how it should be their decision to make, not Trump's, etc. Maybe. But at some point... there are things I actually don't want to know, cause I probably wouldn't handle it well.

I don't particularly trust Trump to be a good judge on what serves me best. But when I see multiple political figures of different persuasions seem to be unified in not wanting to touch this, it does make me think. Maybe this would be one of those cases where I immediately regret that I went looking for information right after receiving the information.

So have you considered if you'd be able to take the worst of the worst of what could be in the Epstein files?

@BasedLunatic
Yes, minimizing murderous dictatorships is a sensitive issue to me. I also have an issue with Nazism and people who make belief fascism is good. And gee, I wonder why I'd support Jews and Israel over the murderous political/religious ideology known as Islam. Why in the world would I support a nation of Jews whom others would gladly genocide... gee, I wonder. Why in the world would I not defend Islamic maniacs who have also invaded my country in its history... gee... I don't know. Maybe because I seek my own survival and the survival of my people too. Maybe because Communism, Nazism and Islam, all fucked over my country in different periods of its history.
So yeah, Jews are ok in my book, cause they're a nation like so many other in the world, not an unified ideology that seeks to fuck over the world.

@BasedLunatic
Because you are a MORON of the highest order. What you're doing RIGHT NOW is denying that all of communist Eastern Europe were real communism, and we were just normal capitalist nations back before the 90s. You are twisting history and reality to an insane degree.

You think there weren't stores and companies in communist Romania? That we didn't participate in international trade? That we didn't have rich business owners? This is the reality of communism, in that you can easily spread a little propaganda and pretend it was actually capitalistic. But it never is. As soon as you look deep down, you start seeing the horror, including in China.

What you're doing is nothing more than denying the horror Eastern Europe was put through via soviet communism.

So kindly, either go inform yourself and reassess your position, or sincerely go kill yourself for being this fucking stupid.

@BasedLunatic
More AI answers then? Care to actually search real information for yourself?
> Market forces: A large portion of the economy operates on market principles, with supply and demand influencing prices and production.
I literally just debunked this. You can't talk about supply and demand when literally Xi JinPooh decides that he wants China to be known for technology X (these days it's AI and 5G), pushes insane subsidies, and demands the market pretend to do AI and 5G, so they can make propaganda with how "China is top AI and 5G expertise".

>Private enterprise: There's a thriving private sector that contributes significantly to GDP, employment, and innovation
How can you call it private sector when every corporation is demanded to have CCP officials in their leadership? Who get to have control over the companies?

>Profit motive: Both state-owned and private enterprises operate with a strong emphasis on profitability.
Again false. The incentive for corporations is government subsidies. They don't make a profit from selling to people. They make a "profit" because the government subsidizes stuff.

Did you even read the shit you posted? You literally even have arguments there that clear go against China being capitalistic.
>Land ownership: All land in China is technically owned by the state or collectives.
That's a communist feature, not a capitalist one.
>State direction: The state can direct and guide major aspects of the economy, including both state and private sectors.
Communist feature.

Other examples in there are literally irrelevant. A communist nation can have outside investments,
can take part in international trade, probably can have a stock market of sorts too.

@Godsend @BasedLunatic @dcc
>some people manage to have businesses if they hide well enough from the government, so it's a capitalist system
No. This is a 80 IQ take. Go cope in China if you love the place that much. I'm sure they'll love you.

@BasedLunatic @dcc
>google is basically owned by intelligence service
Is that why it's promoting Chinese propaganda on YouTube? Is that why they had plans to develop a censored search engine for the Chinese market?

@basadeskaiser @BasedLunatic
China being bad is not western propaganda. China has always been bad. Eastern Europe fucking always knew this. All you're doing by not even investigating yourself, and assuming the complete opposite must be true, is that you're reinforcing China's propaganda. So good job still being a moron, just for a different country.

@BasedLunatic
>using Grok instead of using your own brain, and actually searching for yourself.
Bravo. I knew this day would come.
Here's a hint for you. China TRIED going capitalist and free, back in early 2000s. But after Xi JinPooh, everything reversed course. These days China is about as locked down as it was during Mao. You can't talk about capitalism when literally every big corporation is mandated to have CCP members at its leadership, so they can steer operations.

There is no free capitalism. It's a state planned economy. And one that is failing fast.
I mentioned the electric vehicle subsidies earlier. That's part of state planning. They also had state planned electric vehicle renting. Go see how that turned out, with cars abandoned in massive parking lots because there was no market demand for it. They also had state planned bike rentals. Same story. There are mountains of fully functional trashed bikes because there was no free market demand, just communist planned economy. They literally have state planned ghost towns, not just buildings, entire towns that were build by government decree, not because there was real market need or demand.

You can't claim China's economy is capitalistic when you have project after project that isn't driven by market economics, but by the whim of CCP or Xi JinPooh himself.

Oh, and let's not forget the disappearance of their own "tech mongols" without a trace. Definitely the mark of capitalism, and not communist meddling when the state doesn't like someone. /sarcasm

@BasedLunatic
China is not a capitalist system, jesus fuck! Yes, selling bellow cost with the express purpose to eliminate your competition is literally illegal. You know jack shit about economy I guess.

@BasedLunatic @basadeskaiser
So I'm supposed to believe these guys are CIA agents then?

youtube.com/@TheChinaShow

Stop believing Chinese propaganda. See for yourself how shit their stuff is. See for yourself how their electric cars catch fire by themselves in parking lots. See how buildings and bridges built recently collapse out of nowhere. See for yourself how shitty Chinese people treat one another. How they steal and trick each other over the smallest of things. How they feed each other literal poison (we're talking about lead based dies used in food) just to save money. The list is limitless in the ways you simply can't trust China.

Or are you literally stupid enough to actually believe their propaganda that they only had 100k Covid deaths?

@BasedLunatic
>they have to make it illegal to import Chinese electric cars to Europe because they can’t compete
Bruh, you're clueless. China gives massive amounts of subsidies to the electric car industry. Much more than US does. The reason Europe can't compete, is because the cost of the cars isn't actually covered by the buyers, it's covered by the communist government. Ever heard of something called unfair competition? China is literally selling cars bellow cost, to destroy European industry. So yeah, you bet your ass we should ban Chinese cars.

>And China was first out with 5g tech
No it wasn't. Not even close. All China does is steal technology, then sell bellow the price of companies who actually did the research and development, thus making those companies unable to recover the costs associated with researching, and ultimately lead them going bankrupt.

Go and learn some shit before you shill for China.
