The game in question was made to propagate leftist narratives to children, obviously. You needed that connection spelled out? It’s a game that discourages people from trying to reach an independent viewpoint on migration because it might lead them to be anti-migration. Who else would send such a warning, the right? Some politically unmotivated developer building educational games at the behest of the governing party? lol.

Two things can be true at once:

1. BYD has rapidly surpassed many western companies in terms of product quality / desirability

2. Chinese automotive industry is a strategic threat to Western military capabilities. If they are successful in usurping European / American auto manufacturers, it will be a death blow to an already hollowed-out industrial base that is critical to any sustained military engagement.

So, yes, western companies have stagnated, and yes, the West needs to keep these dinosaurs around through subsidies (which Chinese manufacturers also receieve from their regime).

FWIW it's kind of refreshing to see a judicial official on the receiving end of this treatment. I know he's not one of the judges who permitted the debanking of protesters in Canada, but 1:1 of like-kind is probably all we can ask for.

Those who so flippantly censor and ostracise dissidents deserve a periodic taste of their own concoctions.

Friend of a friend was working on a Palantir NHS integration a few years before the pandemic, so I'm pretty sure this ship has sailed.

There are no shortcuts to holistic health.

I agree with that.

I thought it would take a decade for the side effects to catch up with people but this is way faster than expected.

Regarding the side effects, nothing seemed beyond the realm of what you'd read on the outside of an OTC cold medication. I'm not a doctor but they don't seem that severe.
