China

>our city isn't going to be filled with AIDS-ridden homossexuals and child molesters! that's terrible!

Man, what the hell is wrong with your city? Shouldn't it being spared from that be a cause for celebration?

If only the coronavirus had the same symptoms as the virus from the movie Mayhem had, that would be fucking awesome.

[Poonoo]

It didn't take me long to find someone--a very respected film critic, no less--who blames it on Trump.

These pieces of shit well never blame China for fucking anything. If you look at the way China is run it is no longer communist like it was during the Great Leap Forward, it is actually very similar to Nazi Germany.



The part about how the economy was rigged so party members benefited while still having some capitalism is exactly how China works today. You have to be a party member to truly benefit in either country, they are run like a mafia controlled town.

Add the blatant persecution of minorities (Tibetans), literal concentration camps(Uyghurs), feeling land is entitled to them on racial grounds/historical grounds (South China Sea) and the military expansionism (Hong Kong) and it's eerie how similar they are. And yet leftists who act like they are on the "right side of history" are defending the modern version of Nazi Germany.

Also you live in Austin. Stop saying you live in Texas, Austin is not Texas.

Even China, who thanks to the powers of communism can put the whole country on lockdown, hasn't really managed to get this shit under control. You think some branch of the Burger government that has probably always been understaffed and -funded could do better? In a country where everyone's jacking off to "muh freedom of whateverthefuck"?

I'd say he did the best he could by making immigration harder.

I live in Dallas, actually. To outsiders, I understand that might all seem like the same shit, but to Texans, they're very different.

Dallas is all about glitz and big business. It's also a friendly place for weary Congressmen and tech gurus retire. Through my work, I know of many.

Austin is Dallas's pot-smoking brother. Austin's dirty secret though is that housing costs are actually higher on average there because it's such a hip spot.

Austin has music, Dallas has sports.

SInce Siskel & Ebert died, there are no respected film critics.

Leftists defend China because it provides them with an endless supply of cheap electronic trinkets/goods. If Nazi Germany was pumping out $100 smart phones using concentration camp forced labor, millennials would buy them up without a second thought.

Cheap Labor trumps principles.

Disinfectant wipes and hand sanitizer I understand, but why is everyone stocking up on toilet paper because of corona?

[Moe Bitches]

Apparently so it could be made into makeshift masks (?) or substituted for napkins/tissues.
Edit: Also because if something is short they want to be the first to get it before anyone else.

Dumb people are dumb and can't properly process scenarios in which they might theoretically have to rely on rations for a week or two, so they jump on a dumb bandwagon to feel more secure or some shit.
