I get that American capitalists don't care. I never understood why Americans don't.

You don't care. If you did, you'd behave much differently than you do.
Why do you think I call you a hypocrite?

You already stated you wouldn't release prisoners who are immorally held in captivity today.
Are you saying you'd magically become Django if you were transported back in time 165 years and reverse course ?

Ffs such an interesting thread until rob Roy Moore and shittypimp turned up. Re taco, he claims to teach law which would make him at least post grad or post doc yet he confuses affect and effect and uses the logical fallacy of appeal to authority by quoting his highly educated “friends” (himself?) to win arguments that he starts when you rationally debate him. The first two should bow out from intelligently crafted threads such as this, Taco needs to raise his game and own his comments imo.

Your questions and hypotheticals are stupid. Obviously you know nothing about how the prison system works. Yeah I met a few who were wrongfully convicted, but DNA ended up freeing them cause at the time they committed their crime, DNA techniques were not that advanced, so the Court of Appeals dealt with that. So get over you stupid ideas of opening the gates and letting Inmate just run out into the community. Most of those dudes should be in prison and some of them, quite honestly should be buried under the prison. So stop talking about things you know nothing about.

Lost control of Australia and New Zealand? Not sure what you mean by that statement. They have never had control.

Why would I not answer?
One can live on their own, or join a community, and hopefully benefit from each one's involvement to support and strengthen that community.
It seems that you have no interest in outside contacts/support or anything else pertaining to community involvement, like taxes which pay for the roads you drive on, I assume.
So, also when your house is burning down before it's foreclosed on for non-payment of Town taxes, you will simply say wait to the firemen, I want to get bid's on your cost to put out the fire
Illogical.

You lost the right to call anybody a hypocrite when you beat a woman then turned her out to whore for you.
Such a caring individual.

Why anyone would take the time to make a good thread with researched posts worth reading and replying to is hard to figure out. I feel like I wasted my time. Such sophomoric content is definitive of the Trump/Brexit era.

The Chinese Communist Party had control over a lot of Australia's political apparatus. It was a clumsy figure of speech but the MSS certainly had more power over Australia than any of Australia's political parties until recently when the Bogans figured out that they were being completely compromised. They were well on the way to installing a head of state.

The word "Chinks" is offensive. Please refrain from alienating ethnic Han. Dog eating communist seems like a good description. Aside from that, I can sort of respect your opinion on the trade war. Both sides certainly think that they can win this. The thing about tariffs is that China already doesn't import much from the US so they don't have much to impose tarrifs on. The other thing is that the US can cause trouble for China's petroleum supply. It is in the best interest of the both countries (and the world) to resume trade.

China will be happy to import fossil fuels from both Russia and Iran, who will both be happy to sell.
Of course that puts a thumb the eye of the United States' economic sanctions against both countries. Trump is about to expose just how badly he can make America look.
About the only thing he could do to make things worse would be to impose a blockade on the shipping of such goods, which would lead to a rapid and very unpleasant escalation of hostilities.
America needs to quit while it's behind.

Just so there's no confusion later, are you referring to the nations in the Middle East that are shitholes? The entire geographical area is a shithole?

As for petroleum, Russian oil flows largely to western Europe, Germany in particular. developing the capacity to satisfy the Chinese market for petroleum would add a premium cost to Russian petroleum that would likely not equal the amount that the west would have to pay extra for rare earths sourced outside of Africa (China). The petroleum and rare earth phase of the trade war is looking like a stalemate.
It could go in China's favor if and when infrastructure is in place to import from Iran efficiently, but that capacity does not yet exist.
The reason that global markets have favored Chinese rare earths over Australian is not supply, but cost. Chinese rare earths are sourced largely by Congolese slavery whereas Australian miners are unionized. Lynas is ready to increase refinement volume.

Australia sell China a shit load of coal and iron ore. Not as much as when their economy was on full steam ahead (pardon the pun..) but they are our number one trading partner.
