The protests were not the only thing that made the Chinese government realize that they were fucked. It was just the tip of the spear. Behind the protests was an even more spectacular online campaign. The country's censors, swamped by a combination of DDOS attacks, "blank post spamming", and VPN proliferation, were unable to do much as the entire country's Internet and social media were transformed into one massive cyber protest hub. The amount of likes that posts were getting, at a rate of MILLIONS per hour, made the government realize just how little support they had. Also present on wide scale were memes, YTP clips, and gifs spoofing Top Gun, featuring American pilots dogfighting and defeating Chinese PLA aces, to the almost unanimous applause of audiences on Chinese social media. This, along with the last 2 years of the younger generations "lying flat" (tan ping) and "letting it rot" (bai lan), and not giving a fuck anymore, made the CCP quickly aware that they have almost no supporters now. This is not 1989 anymore, when most of the country still retained the zealous nationalism inherited over 2 decades of "revolutionary postwar rebuilding" and supported the crackdown against the students, with armed farmers even driving their trucks into Beijing to help the army in the crackdown in Tiananmen Square. This is not that era anymore.

Actually this was the ONE thing that Janet Reno did that I agreed with. Yes, the kid's dad was a communist stooge in Cuba, but it was his fucking father, his one surviving parent, and what he said ought to go even if we disagree with it. Parental rights trump all. If it was your kid in a communist country do you think they would give him up? We are not communists.

populist America 1st ideas . That are a knife pointed at the heart of the donor class and multinational corporations dreams of controlling the world thru one world .gov !
I read this same article, well I should say scanned; because you are 100% correct. GOP represents CRONY CAPITALISTS only (those are usually "donor class")
You guys think you have problems?
Please don't take any offense but I didn't listen to "it". Just not interested in what "it" has to say. Go be fucked up somewhere else.
Most importantly....NO REFUNDS!!
You really need to listen to that voice. It really drives it home.Please don't take any offense but I didn't listen to "it". Just not interested in what "it" has to say. Go be fucked up somewhere else.

There are zero "good" people in any .gov job? None? That is a huge statement.....you know that is not correct. Think about who has a .gov job....the fave go to is fire fighters, they are also bent in your book. And if you exempt them who else gets a pass?
Been in the sad decision of having to help remove children from homes where the safety of the child was at risk. The illustration, real or staged, is what I object too. The militarization of law enforcement, aimed at United States Citizerens is, lately, becoming too real.
Dear Lord...I couldn't even make it through. The whole thing of "the first year" about made me barf.

2nd Battle of Trenton, December 22, 2024. War of Constitutional Restoration. Patriot forces cross the river under the cover of darkness and in bone chilling cold, launching a surprise attack on ANTIFA-COMINTERN forces on the morning when all of the ANTIFA Trans Brigade troops were to perform dilation and unable to fight. ANTIFA-COMINTERN army completely annihilated. Thousands died, many with dilating dildos still clutched in their hands, their SKS rifles out of reach and useless. Thousands more were taken prisoner but the captives identified themselves by so many genders that the 2nd Continental US Army could not process them fast enough, causing hundreds of captives to die of frostbite as they waited in open stockades to be booked and processed...
Obviously the bull dyke had about as heavy a hand as any AG we've ever had, this fanatic leftist Garland included. That said, if it was my kid being held by distant relatives who said they would not return him, you would not need weaponized CPS, because that would be me in slightly less tactical gear, but 10X more ferocious, and my finger would be on the trigger blasting any kidnappers at the slightest provocation if Elion was my kid.
Yes, fuck Cuba, and fuck Janet Reno, but forget all that shit, and this was a father who had his kid stolen from him. Now, I've never had a kid stolen, but I do have kids, and I know how completely nuts I'd go if someone stole one, period.
Right choice to give the kid back to his father, full stop.

So, if not a Constitutional Republic, with local law enforcement, and a standing military to protect te nation, what do YOU propose?
How about some ideas instead of sniping (heh, see what I did there) at folks on this board who are at least 50% aligned with you? I honestly don’t know what set you off, but you’re waaaaaaaaay out there on your loathing for honest people in the military and in law enforcement trying to earn a living while upholding the Constitution.
People like me. You paint with a brush so broad, you‘re smearing it all over…well, everything.
Man, America ain’t perfect, but it’s the best form of government we humans have ever devised. Worked great up until about 100 years ago or so with the rise of the bureaucrats and social welfare…now grown into social justice. I’m 100% on board with one comment from you above though, Big Government has got to go.
We need to get back to our roots…but burning it all down ain’t gonna be the answer anyone wants.
