You really think you’re the first one to cope with that argument? Support for government in China: is the data accurate?

It is

The purpose of a system is what it does, not what its marketing department says.

The consequences for what you’re calling “social credit score” in China is actually court orders issued on a case by case basis, not some automatic/bureaucrat-run all-encompassing system based on rating each citizen. I.e. it’s not a social score system.

Since the data structure has a static size, that is N is constant (12 months, 365 days) , technically any operation on it is O(1).

The distinction between left and right in the U.S is democratic and Republic ideologies. Both Republicans and Democrats subscribe to the same ideology: Liberalism. That is: the supremacy of private property and absolute freedom (for those who posses said private property). That’s what liberalism is, not whether you believe deep in your heart in the neccesity of “social progressivism”. They just play the good cop/bad cop routine; and just like with those cops, their goal is the same, they just trick you into trusting one of them because he’s stopping the ‘bad cop’ from hurting you.

Actually, it was gender-inclusive, they equally demonstrated for the right to rape Palestinian men.

If you read the rest of the tweet by Arnault, you’ll learn that Nazis later abandoned the practice of rescuing survivors of sinking enemy ships, and it was because Americans are worse war criminals than Nazis: The history of this is actually interesting: the Nazis rescued survivors all the way until the so-called Laconia Incident in 1942 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laconi…). The Laconia was a British troopship sunk by U-156, a German U-boat, off the West African coast. Right after the sinking, the Nazis immediately began rescuing over 400 survivors, broadcasting - as was common practice - in plain English their position on open radio channels to all Allied powers nearby, so they wouldn’t get attacked during the rescue. That’s when a US B-24 “Liberator” bomber attacked the submarine anyway, even though all the rescued survivors were on its foredeck. The B-24 killed dozens of Laconia’s survivors with bombs and strafing attacks, forcing U-156 to cast into the sea the remaining survivors that she had rescued and crash dive to avoid being destroyed. The American B-24 pilots mistakenly reported they had sunk U-156, and were awarded medals for bravery… This event completely changed Nazi policy on this matter: Karl Dönitz, commander of the U-boat fleet, issued the “Laconiarefehl” - the Laconia Order - forbidding U-boats from rescuing survivors, because the risk to the submarine was now too high. In other words, the Americans during WW2 essentially forced the Nazis to abandon survivors - from the allied side (!) - at sea. Dönitz at least had an excuse.

People have already deeply internalized the excuses, they don’t need to repeat them.

Nobody ever told me I needed to read Proudhon to think the state’s bad Yeah, cause if you actually read Proudhon, you’d probably lose interest in anarchism after realizing how unserious and idiotic the arguments and methodology of “the father of Anarchism” were. Further reading: The Poverty of Philosophy (Part three has the funniest blunders of Mr. Proudhon, if you’re looking for highlights). I guess I did the meme and told you to read.

That’s a BOLD claim.

If Trump did it he must have had a good reason - MAGAs reacting to any inconvenient fact about Trump. You:

Americans famously have goldfish memory when it comes to any kind of political events, so in a sense any event is a distraction from the previous event for them.

It’s way easier to trick people than to have them admit them they have been tricked. CIA knows that.
