The good and bad things are related though - what good is health insurance if it doesn't pay for healthcare? It says a lot that Americans who buy insurance like they're supposed to still can't afford to use their own country's hospitals.

Yeah, Aria mentioned how "prime minister" is the same thing but with neutral connotations. It's another case of using good words to describe ourselves and bad words to antagonize our targets.

The particular phrasing that gets thrown around is extremely cultish in English (dear leader, glorious leader, supreme leader, etc.) which is why westerners keep repeating it. It doesn't come off as a term of endearment, more like subservience. I dunno what Koreans say in Korean and whether it carries the same connotations though (probably not).

Really should've worded the title better then

Russia doesn't show up when filtering by 100+ edits either. Does Wikipedia ban Russian IPs?

Westerners refuse to believe that about half the fatalities were PLA members because in their countries, the police would never be unarmed, never abandon their equipment, never hesitate to kill in retaliation.

Westerners also don't pity the murdered PLA officers because they view them the same as their own police: violent people that eagerly abuse their power.

Honestly it doesn't take any convincing to make Americans support atrocities. The US can just do them and Americans will invent justifications all on their own.

It's funny how much the scale for the Y axis on the homeownership chart has to change for the differences in China to be noticable

): at least we still have the flag 🇦🇴

It's shocking how transparently oppressive the supreme court is being right now with their flimsy originalism excuse. Their reasoning could be used to nullify literally all legislation except the constitution itself.

First Mexico, now Cuba. Jackie Chan is going to strengthen ties with all of Latin America!

What does the rest of China think of Hong Kong? Because this is straight up embarrassing.
