We're fighting the war on car dependence.

Cars are fine but car dependance isn't, our cities shouldn't be built in a way that requires a car for everyday like.

Requiring that your citizens own a $10000 - $35000+ depreciating asset just to live life is a tragedy that lessens economic mobility and punishes your most vulnerable.

They're going to produce doctored documents with the name of political opponents and have them dragged off in unmarked vans.

Honestly yes but it seems like it might be one of those things where the cast is just fun to work with so everyone's having a good time.

That makes sense I remember reading an article warning that Israel was a testing ground for how the United States would handle public dissent.

I wish China could understand that repeated denial of their misdeeds serves only to discredit them in times of progress and prosperity and it's only added to the negative perception they have from the public abroad.

Thank you for the thorough reply and I think it's helped me understand both concepts a little better.

This isn't tankie defense or whataboutism. I know what China's done is inexcusable and will be another black mark in their history books. It's genuine curiosity.

How do you think ICEs operations in the United States, and treatment of immigrants compare to the treatment of Uyghur Muslims in China's re-education camps and are there parallels or is it surface level?

Still probably below the average for most British royalty at the time.
