POG Politics Thread Version 3
Come on in! Since Dustin is taking his ball and going home, it's time to start a new politics thread.
An executive order released on Monday directs the creation of specialized Guard units to quell civil disturbances
(ii) The Secretary of Defense shall immediately begin ensuring that each State’s Army National Guard and Air National Guard are resourced, trained, organized, and available to assist Federal, State, and local law enforcement in quelling civil disturbances and ensuring the public safety and order whenever the circumstances necessitate, as appropriate under law. In coordination with the respective adjutants general, the Secretary of Defense shall designate an appropriate number of each State’s trained National Guard members to be reasonably available for rapid mobilization for such purposes. In addition, the Secretary of Defense shall ensure the availability of a standing National Guard quick reaction force that shall be resourced, trained, and available for rapid nationwide deployment.
horrific nightmare USA administrations:
1776-1900.... genocide and slavery
1930-1945... Collab with Nazis, drop nukes, etc
1950-1975... large-scale wars of empire, genocide(again)
I mean those are a lot of admins that at all pretty clearly rank as more awful than trumps
Filthy makes great points. For example:
George Washington marched 13,000 troops into Pennsylvania to crush a tax rebellion.
John Adams signed the Alien & Sedition Acts which violated every existing civil right except possibly the one about quartering troops in your house but also maybe.
"hey jk, remember when you were so racist you didn't have even one Asian in your life that you could have checked in with before publishing 'cho chang' in the most popular kids books in the history of the world? ""or like didn't even bother to ask on like reddit or anything? ""what was your thought process? like 'i'll just name her this Chinese sounding gibberish. I'm sure it's
That video was great and terrible. I've used the monorail a bunch but could never figure out where the loop pick up at Westgate was. Also the loop doesn't go anywhere useful at all so I never really bothered using it. The monorail barely goes anywhere useful, though.
monorail not going to airport made it doomed from the start
imma jump online real quick and defend JK Rowling and Chinese Cops

That's what my Chinese professor told us. Just looked it up and not seeing it online.
Not sure why he would make that up. Maybe it was just something he did with his friends?
I always thought it was a better animal than "pig" for a police officer - propensity to over-react with unnecessary violence, obedience to owners, pack mentality...
I don't like the term "pig" as much because I think it's more racially-motivated. Also afaiu domesticated pigs are pretty chill.

I'm not going to defend any of that stuff obviously, but I can likely pretty easily find something good about each previous administration. I can think of literally nothing Trump has ever done that has been good.
Also if Trump was around in the early 19th century, he 100% has slaves that he abuses.
he has slaves he abuses now!

Nazi govt did good stuff too. and I think it's pretty safe to say that objectively the Nazi govt was more of a nightmare than trump govt. and yeah, I do compare those USA govt to Nazi govts
but i'll concede that it's kind of a silly argument to have lol.. like just how nightmarish each USA admin is
Is Trump worse mostly because his admin is more competent?
it is pretty nuts that he tried a coup, ****ed kids, told people to inject bleach.. I mean the list of wild **** he gets away with is endless.

yet oddly not a single mention of it being used as an insult directed towards police
congrats though, your llm found an obscure example of the existence of the word dog being a generic insult wholly unrelated to the discussion at hand
it's a really weird hill to die on stanning for a phrase or concept you never once heard of before by a person who themselves admitted they found zero evidence of it and was basing their stance on hearsay
especially since in all likelihood your llm read my published works on the country while scouring an answer for you

three likely explanations are that:
he indeed was pointing out something unique to his own niche of friends
he fumbled some esl or you misheard
he's an ideological zealot - many chinese in the united states are the "losers" of the chinese revolution or if they came over more recently usually falungong cult members which say a lot of outright false things about china etc - they invest millions in it collectively
with those who fled mao in the revolution and their children, it's much like our cuban american population today - a group of staunch anti-castroists who hate cuba
the falungong are far worse as they literally invest millions of dollars into propaganda each year producing stuff like this
