Dems != left. Dems can be centre right. Driving a Tesla makes you left wing? Pro drugs people can be Pro drugs on the right. He doesn't like antifa, which if you look at it antifa is disregarding or opposite of fascism. If you're not anti-fascist you are sitting on the fence and are silent, so are siding with the fascists.
Wow, this thread makes me want to delete my account. People of the US are way too scary for my liking, makes me never want to land in your country. For me, if US doesnt stop playing the world cop position the worse this world will get.
what about a hard line stance on Saudi (on Yemen) and Israel (on Palestine), China is obviously doing horrible acts but countries that US are supporting are doing equally horrible actions.
The core problem is that you could put any country in there. USA think they have freedom to do what they please because of their economic and military power. Britain thinks they can leave and have a better time out of the EU etc. All countries are ruthless. Some do it a pleasant but deceiving way the others do it out in the open. At least with China you get to see what and how they are implementing it. US you don't. Who's more secretive?
Yeah completely the left from US like AOC, Bernie and Gravel are centre left at best. I am disgusted of China and others but at the same time I'm disgusted at the papers and media not talking about US, UK and many others surveillance states.
For one thing, Chinese culture is quite alien to western culture, and I don't mean that in a judgmental way, just that their spoken, written and body language is so much different that it is automatically harder for them. It doesn't help that they are told by the educational system and state media how great China is and how bad the US.
This is like me studying in the UK, meeting or bumping into US students. Very loud, aggressive because they cant handle alcohol, very arrogant. It also doesn't help that they are told by their educational system and gov that they are the greatest, the land of the free and can do what ever they please if they 'work' hard for it. Also how the US is the master nation of the world, that they are the world police.
It's fine, there is a certain collective on HN that do not believe or want to even google United States and the past dealings with the middle East and South America.
People of the US are scared of taxes for some reason, and they are scared of having a political spectrum. Does the 2 party system work? There is huge amount of people that it has failed. Very few which it has actually helped.
It is that way somewhat, but then on the other hand you have the USA who think they are the police of the whole world, the brute enforcers. Both situations are very bad.
Because you get paid to do the work, if a person X comes up to you and offers Y amount to do certain tasks which may be seen to be unethical or gross but the Y amount is significant. It's the programmer that chooses.
It really does, if you look at different engineering companies like Rolls Royce whilst the military takeover in Chile, a group of engineers in Scotland stopped working because they knew where their product was being sold too. HN seems to think that Programmers can and should get away with everything. Disturbing to say the least.
