Yes, the model common to the Nordic, Vietnam, Cuba, etc.

Not criminalizing solicitation or brothels increases the number of prostitutes who end up working under coercive conditions.

See, its true because there were 2 liberal candidates and they were both pro genocide.

Weirdly they are more progressive when it comes to prostitution; prostitution isnt illegal, but soliciting it is.

Applying nuance and researching more context instead of jerking off while grunting “china bad authoritarianism” isnt defending or excusing. You’re just annoyed they dont join your circlejerk.

Correct. But at the same time, once you understand your speech is limited by your reach, which is determined by how big of a megaphone the capitalists will let you have, it becomes more murky. You can say whatever you want in America, and if the government doesnt like it, you will be silenced and ignored. The same applies in China, but there is a greater record of the government actually listening, though often to the worst groups, such as nimbys protesting the expansion of the Shangai maglev and assholes protesting even limited lockdowns in the city with the most covid that keeps infecting the rest of the country.

I cant speak about all of China, but of the 6 cities Ive been to, each had far more accessible child-care-related facilities than the US, from schools within walking distance of tower blocks to more parks and infrastructure/personnel to help kids get there without crossing busy roads, to massive libraries with play places, movie theaters, family restaurants, to tiny amusement parks.

To be clear, writing and posting erotica isn’t illegal, its profiting off it that was illegal, which is still fucked, but less of a free speech issue.

No, and there weren’t in Ukraine, but the US has spent half a century and billions of dollars to ensure every last person on that island is ready to be sacrificed when the time comes.

Under Britain, Hong Kong was a literal bourgeois democracy. Like not as in “the capitalists are really in control”, but “only 18 of the 59 seats weren’t appointed by major companies, representatives of the crown, or the governor”. Hong Kong has only known anything remotely close to democracy under China.

Why would liberal media ever bow to a socialist? The capitalists will always understand socialism as a greater threat than fascism.

Come to any part of China that isnt Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen. You can be the most average looking American and even in the most scenic locations on the planet random folks will ask to take pictures with you or just of you and tell you youre beautiful.

Better take: It was wrong when Obama did it, how about we send him to the Hague right after Trump and Biden?

Get ready to learn what the dems are willing to do to stop any kind of left insurgency within the party.

Don’t forget cheap labor. Central America has fuckall for resources, but we do coups there every time our guy gets deposed because an unstable region means poverty means people willing to work for nothing.

Explicitly request a response in your letters.

This is why America doesnt have instant recall, outside California, where astroturfed campaigns use it to benefit business interests.

“We had to destroy the village in order to save it.”

Also see Libya’s nuclear program.

Humans have rights, not states, and Israel’s existence as an apartheid state is mutually exclusive with the rights of the humans living there.

Weird that he didn’t try in 2021 or 2022.
