Then answer the question: what makes you think violence of that sort is "protest"?Alexiev wrote: ↑Sun Apr 06, 2025 3:37 pmYou are right.Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Sat Apr 05, 2025 9:12 pmI don't "worry" at all. But practically, the world is affected by what is allowed to go on in America, of course, so everybody has some stake in being interested in what goes on there. However, that's not even relevant: the only question is, what's a real "protest," and what's merely violence, looting, silencing, assaulting, and such? That question has no borders.

The word is "rhetorical." It doesn't require an answer, because the answer's so obvious.
making medicine here instead of importing it from a possible enemy sounds good to meAlexiev wrote: ↑Sun Apr 06, 2025 4:30 pmGreat! Then, maybe, you can get a job on an assembly line!

Unless you are ill snd need the medicine made elsewhere. Perhaps you would care less about where the life-saving medicinebis made, and more about its availability and cost. Why would you care where it is made?Impenitent wrote: ↑Sun Apr 06, 2025 10:36 pmmaking medicine here instead of importing it from a possible enemy sounds good to meAlexiev wrote: ↑Sun Apr 06, 2025 4:30 pmGreat!

availability? many medicines are manufactured (almost exclusively) in China... well if we go to war with China, I'm sure China will double their exports...Alexiev wrote: ↑Sun Apr 06, 2025 11:06 pmUnless you are ill snd need the medicine made elsewhere.

I will repeat: open your eyes, and mind, and you’ll find the real ones, without any help from me. I cannot affect your perception of reality.

Well, where are the real "protesters"? Where are those that simply exercise the democratic right to be heard, without throwing rocks, or insulting and censoring the opposition, or burning car dealerships, or beating up shopkeepers, or taking over city districts and buildings, or attacking strangers, or looting...
I did. I didn't find them. Nor could you, apparently. If you could, you'd simply have pointed them out.commonsense wrote: ↑Mon Apr 07, 2025 9:21 pmI will repeat: open your eyes, and mind,Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Sat Apr 05, 2025 5:21 amPoint them out, then.commonsense wrote: ↑Sat Apr 05, 2025 2:45 am You’ve described the fake ones well.
