True in the most general sense. Generalized political violence is very different from the state using force to based upon the accent of the govern where we have a generalized concept of human rights. To me its a little like saying all art can be be made up with pixels therefore everything is a pixel.


I have been in Union shops before working in tech. In some places they are fine in others its where your worst employee on your team goes to make everyone else less effective.


The us was the only industrialized economy to come out ww2 unscathed. We didn't have to compete for 2 decades. The end results of these policies was the stagnate 70s Reagan was a corrective. However, the policies of Regan only made sense in that context. Republicans became too found of cutting top end taxes when most of what could be gained already was in the 80s. There is no historical period to look at on how to deal with the consequences of integrating China with the rest of the world.


That was the us policy for 20 years under the assumption that political liberalism with follow economic liberalism. It has not. This is also no one sided. China is preparing for conflict with the US so we must also. Yes hawks can push a country into war but so can doves.


Or the US is preparing for conflict with China, so China must also. But actually it's probably a two way feedback loop between the two of them that the ignoramuses that run each country love because it makes their jobs exciting and, probably, profitable.


All powers are mutually antagonistic and it prudent to prepare to confront each other. As long as thoes efforts are equally matched and neither side is prepared thinks it can gain an advantage the peace is held as it held during the cold war.


How does banning TikTok defend Taiwan?


Information warfare is a domain of war in the 21st century.


The Scotus case linked to here by others has noted the possibility of tying networks of contacts to Tiktok user profiles, and network mapping political groups in Taiwan can be leveraged to support any number ventures to disempower the island's democracy-favoring majority.


does the US ban apply to taiwanese people in taiwan?


Only insofar as their support networks extend into the United States. But you're right to suggest that Taiwan should consider a ban also, over similar security concerns.


The problem is unsolvable. You have two sets of people with sets of claims on the same land. Both sides have an unshakable resolve that they are in the right and nothing is going to change that.


No, it is solved by ethnic cleansing or by prevention of ethnic cleansing.


The former solves the problem but isn't really on the table. The later doesn't settle the question. Both sides would have to come up with a mutually agreeable solution and that isn't on the table.


Why assume the solution has to be agreed upon by the two parties? Peace can be imposed by the adults in the room.


What settlement would be imposed and who would impose it.


There is a large democratic majority that supports border enforcement including deportation. Shouldn't the policy conform to the majority.


No, total majority rule without safeguards is no better than tyranny. Even ancient Greeks knew that. So did founding fathers.


Latin America has its own problems with or without American intervention. Venezuela elected Hugo Chavez all by itself and he destroyed the country. I am for a very lax immigration system but one that does have some form of accountability and enforcement the status quo is untenable.


Why do you think you don't. It could be you who is deceived. Everyone thinks they are the person that sees things for what they are but it can't be true for all of us.


I am 100% sure there will be an election in 2028.


Yes,just like there are elections in Hungary, or Venezuela, or there were elections in the Soviet bloc.

You will have your banana elections for your banana Republic all right.


How would that work in our system. The election are distrusted and open by law. Trump is an authoritarian who will test the system but the system will hold.


In general people take care of their kids. In general the family is good you can always find edge cases.


> According to recent statistics, 70%-80% of Americans consider their families dysfunctional.

Compared to what some Ideal sure. Compared to being raised or cared for by the state my guess is that would change.


I'm not sure what you mean by that. What does 'good' mean? What ratio are not 'good'? And where does it all come from?

Our personal experiences could be very misleading about what others go through.
