Reuters, NYT, NPR etc. are all using the opportunity to complain about Xi of course, but no conspiracy theories yet. I went with the People’s Daily article cause it doesn’t use his death as an excuse to write an opinion piece. Also it’s straight from the source.

I for one denounce the heinous acts of violence committed by the Haitian rebels. Stand with France!

And yet you support the genocide of Palestinians. Curious!

You are falling for atrocity propaganda again. No, Palestinian freedom fighters did not go “one by one” slaughtering babies.

Incorrect. Hamas, in accordance with the Quran, believes it is possible for Muslims, Jews, and Christians to live in harmony. Furthermore, in their updated charter they explicitly reject targeting Jews for simply being Jewish:

Hamas affirms that its conflict is with the Zionist project not with the Jews because of their religion. Hamas does not wage a struggle against the Jews because they are Jewish but wages a struggle against the Zionists who occupy Palestine. Yet, it is the Zionists who constantly identify Judaism and the Jews with their own colonial project and illegal entity.

Hamas rejects the persecution of any human being or the undermining of his or her rights on nationalist, religious or sectarian grounds. Hamas is of the view that the Jewish problem, anti-Semitism and the persecution of the Jews are phenomena fundamentally linked to European history and not to the history of the Arabs and the Muslims or to their heritage.

What about all the atrocities Israel just did in Gaza? Leveled a bunch of apartments, displaced a ton of families, and killed hundreds.

The esteemed Mr. Malthus wrote about it. The admirable J. Swift has also written a wonderful proposal for how we may deal with it.

China’s National Defense Minister Li Shangfu has been missing for weeks. Now, he’s under investigation for corruption and out of a job

Probably getting fired and/or arrested for corruption if I had to guess. Just a thought though.

You’re stretching the definition of democratic especially if you’re extending that to all of these countries that have recently experienced coups.

Helium-3 is a fuel for fusion that does have its benefits, but most scientists are focused on Deuterium-Tritium reactions. On the moon, the most concentrated regolith has only 50 parts of helium-3 per billion. That is super sparse. Like, we may as well be sifting uranium out of Earth’s oceans at that point. And if we’re doing giant space-based megaprojects, the gas giants probably have higher concentrations of helium-3 or we could just beam power around from giant solar panels.

This is a fair argument against Elon Musk’s dream to colonize Mars - it is indeed an escapist fantasy. But with the recent and upcoming moon missions, the involved parties (government orgs!) are quite clear that they’re not doing it out of a false belief that they can make a self-sustaining colony. That stuff is over a century away. Only billionaires and their simps believe it lol.

Thankfully your style of rebuttal would be just as tiresome in 1890 as it is in the modern day.

Language is a social phenomenon, yes.

Okay, sure! Hate speech isn’t free speech!

Ok… Go catch long covid then lmao

2. You’d ask for an even bigger devil’s milkshake afterwards. There is no sating your superstitious trials

The nuclear bomb testing in the Pacific absolutely fucked over the people living there. But not all radiation is the same. There’s no way this wastewater affects them whatsoever unless they do a pilgrimage to Fukushima Daiichi and start drinking the pre-diluted water.

Hate speech isn’t free speech!
