... Um ok? And the usa doesn't? Isn't it like number 1 for imprisoned population on the planet? Ultimately though I can't judge countries by their domestic situation, because that's not something I can do anything about.

What I can judge countries by is how they destabilise the world and the ideology they export. The USA enforced, often extremely violently, a deeply exploitative world order which has effects locally for everyone. If Putin executes some dissidents then that is tragic, it is not however a globally significant issue. Something like the usa starting the war on drugs, strong arming nations into imprisoning or executing significant portions of disadvantaged populations is.

Or the usa couping governments left, right, and centre to maintain an exploitative resource extraction international order. Which destabilised the globe and oppresses millions is.

You might say "Iran would do that too!" but a) they haven't and b) you're guessing. Very few nations have ever behaved as badly as the usa/britain/france/spain. The others have chilled out, the usa hasn't.

Iran has never hurt me, China has never hurt me, never roped the country into an illegal war that left half my highschool mates broken meth addicts, Russia has never hurt me. Idk what to tell you. Empires are evil, necessarily. The usa is the inheritor of the British legacy, they export war and exploitation. I'm sure if Putin led such an empire it would also be ugly, I'd prefer a more balanced world.

Tbh China seems like a sort of bad neighbour (are there states which are good neighbours?) but they seem to generally be in favour of institutions like UN and they don't militarise the shit out of the world. They're a better trade partner than the usa.

The usa is a giant military empire that literally indoctrinates children with flag swearing cultism stuff. Living in a world dominated by those fucks, who actively undermine the rules based order and refuse to rattify critical treaties/sabotage other treaties (e.g. sea floor resource stuff) is extremely stressful.

In my country, allegedly a democracy, the usa forced our government to secretly sign a trade deal that lets US companies sue our government... directly undermining sovereignty.

It sucks dude, we all fucking hate the usa because they ruin everything. I wouldn't want to live next to Russia but they're not fucking shit up over here so forgive me if I bitch about the dominant military empire that literally owns parts of where I live and makes us a target in war.

I'm sure Paul is far from a perfect man but frankly I'm on the side of the whales so critical support.

That research never went ahead you moron. Look I'm done, go huf petrol somewhere else

Idk how to explain epistemology to you. This whole yeah yeah cleavage sites spike protein blah blah you gotta ask. Why were people proposing investigating that? Oh because they were anticipating viruses like that would be highly infectious and could emerge.

Coincidences actually do happen, how many proposed researches into coronaviruses don't match sars 2? Why don't initial cases line up with what we know of where lab workers lived and travelled? why is there no testimony relating to the lab work? scientists have souls you know.

Viruses jump species, novel mutations happen. Everyone was expecting a Coronavirus pandemic and guess what? In a completely predictable fashion we got one.

You can't just put red string between every vaguely cooincidental thing and conclude something. That'll have you going bonkers.

Yeah nobody who wrote that article or edited it understands virology and neither do you. This is not evidence.

The doctor with 7 organs and 7 transplant patients is meant to be a thought experiment highlighting ~~the vast gulf between our moral intuitions and~~how awesome naïve utilitarianism is.

Can't even call a beetle "Killallus theminoriti" SMH. the woke mindvirus has jumped species.

What government? what are you fucking on about? I don't give a shit about political games in some hick filled military cult if you're talking about the evil empire.

There is zero evidence sars2 came from a lab, zero. Something being technically possible is not the same as it being likely.

This is so dumb. We'll never know exactly but from what we do the initial infections don't convincingly point to workers from the lab, genetic evidence suggests zoonautic origins are probable, there is no proof either way. The Chinese government isn't allowing an audit, and by this point it's too late anyway.

There is no reason to believe it's likely. Let alone certain. It's literally just "China, who the usaians call red china, is uncooperative" and "there's a lab studying Coronavirus's in a region with lots of them"

wtf is a fauci and what kind of source is a youtube video.
