This is the perpetual cope, but China shows no sign that this is what they're doing. All of their long term plans are steady sailing ahead on the same path
This is becoming a pattern. Nazi rightwinger shoots the victims of empire (Immigrants, Unhoused, Muslims, Trans people) and then the state further cracks down on those groups in response to them being victimized by mass shootings.
Two homeless camps were attacked by mass shooters recently, and the political follow-up was to "clean up" the homeless camps in question because they were "unsafe for the community".
The right is finding out that using Israeli tactics works on this cattle population. Kill the victims, use it for further targeting. They are being rewarded for mass shootings, getting what they want.
The SPD rose in standing ovation and sang the national hymn of Germany when the communist party was banned
By the way, the US funded, trained and armed Al Qaeda and ISIS in Syria.
But they are very serious about fighting terrorism
better yet, guantanamo
there was a period in 2014-2018 or so when you could lease a cheap electric vehicle like a volkswagen e-golf or a chevy volt for like $98 a month due to the $7500 rebate and 0% rent charge bank rates
the cars don't all go to car jail
they get auctioned off and re-sold, they stay on the road
I mean this has been an open secret for years. There’s a Wikipedia page on Operation Timber Sycamore and it’s all plainly stated, even on there. US base in Al Tanf was pumping out HTS soldiers the entire time, everybody knew

Funny how NATOpedia extensively lists and documents many of the regime change activities of the 20th century, and even some from 2000-2020 but then they mysteriously peter off and disappear. Did you know that the US was doing an average of one regime change operation per year for a century and then just stopped suddenly? How strange!
Liberals actually believe this.
I’m guessing something to the effect of “get your shit together”?
the anti-medicine crowd, who are largely composed of people with fried up brains from years of drug overconsumption, like to latch onto specific "cure-alls". This is the same as it's ever been, from snake-oil salesmen to apothecaries of old. The greeks had something called a "tetrapharmacum" which was a mixture of resin, tar, pitch and fat that would be applied topically to cure anything and everything (it did nothing).

Basically, the reality of modern medicines' complexity is too much for them to keep within their mind at once. It feels fake to them because it's so overly complex, specific and material and out of their understanding. It's a lot easier to reject it all and latch onto a couple miracle cures within an idealist mode of thought.
Ivermectin seems to be the one they've settled on recently.
