This is a nice video which sums it up pretty well, concerning EV’s. Many are coming to the US and EU market too, like BYD is doing now for example. They are growing faster then Tesla, threatening to surpass Tesla sales soon.

There are many articles about Chinese EV’s spontaneously combusting or exploding. And that’s just the EV’s.

There are many products containing extremity toxic materials which are imported anmass through Chinese digital market places like alibaba etc, but also as parts for American produced products. Products like cheap 3D printer filament, children toys, car parts, metals, food (with pesticides), etc. It’s hard to check everything, it’s hard to regulate everything, especially when loads of it is produced in a country where there is little to no regulations but instead loads of corruption. It’s imported by hundreds of thousands of shipping containers per day. Sure, some products are fine. But there are many which are toxic and sometimes deadly and we often find out about it way too late. Regulating takes time. China finds loopholes. It’s standard operating procedures.

Chinese government has entered chat

If safety wouldn’t be a real issue those products wouldn’t be banned in the EU. Regulations in the US are often very weird, loose and corrupt as well.

Nice Americans are proud of stuff. That doesn’t make it safe. Remember, there are Americans proud of Trump, guns, the cybertruck, racism, etc. “Proud” isn’t a safety standard.

Ps: Nice American meat processors are fucked up as well. The entire country is fucked up. Nice. Let’s be proud of it and everything becomes safe again

Yeah, that may be so, but priorities man. Priorities! Think of our profits man! In this harsh economy, ever ad counts! We’re only controlling 90% of the internet while we strive for 100%. That’s 10% short. 10%! We only had a revenue of 305 billion in 2023 which is not nearly enough to cut down on ads. Billionaire lives matter man! Come on, everybody, say it all together: Make millionaires billionaires again! Billionaires first! Meemaws don’t consume enough anyway. Screw her. By the way, want some penis enlargement pills?

You mean cheaper and worse, there are little to no regulations and if there are any, inspectors are paid off as China is corrupt AF. and the cheaper part is because the general factory workers are kept extremity poor to uphold the cheap labor, next to the Uyghurs in concentration camps who are forced to work for free. There are no rights or regulations for factory workers, so no protective clothing or gear, no safe work environment, while working with extremity toxic materials as those are cheaper then the safer alternatives. Working 12 to 16 hours per day, as young as 8 years old, 6 to 7 days a week, no sick days, no holidays. There is no quality control. There is media control, so every online post of a spontaneously combusted EV, which are maaaaany, is removed.

So you confuse quality with quantity. Yeah, it’s cheaper. But at what cost. Not just the lives of the Chinese workers, those toxins are also in the products we use.

Stealing from Amazon? Sure, who cares, fuck Bezos. Stealing from the poor and homeless? Seriously, go fuck yourself. Congratulations, you just created a new level of low. I hope a judge will force them to give their house to those homeless kids.

“I lied and was wrong but I’m not to blame. It’s the person who tells on me who is to blame. If they didn’t tell on me, non of this would have happened as people wouldn’t have known I lied”.

It’s a typical sociopathic way of thinking you aren’t to blame but instead the person who punishes you / calls you out is. Like, when you robbed a bank, you blame the police for being locked up, not yourself for committing the crime.

Remember: A former president, a current presidential candidate, is unable to take responsibility and accountability for any of his actions. Do you really want someone like that to have control over one of the biggest countries, controlling thousands of nuclear weapons and the mightiest military, while constantly acting in favor of Putin, a dictator and enemy of NATO? Like, the stupidity of this all makes everyone in the movie Idiocracy look smart.

I wonder what’s causing him to be delusional.

Unpopular opinion? I thought this was a popular opinion.

Yes! God bless Liberia! Flag ID

Title should say “Irony in US logic”.

How could apartheid be an overreaction to that? How could anything short of the complete extinction of Gaza and all living there be anything but an underreaction?

What the actual fuck dude. Seriously. Please go and seek help.

Clearly you have no clue of what has been going on the past 100 years over there and your sources of information are clearly propaganda as your statements are false.

If Jews had, en masse, instituted a pogrom of Germans then the camps would have been justified.

You claim there is a justifiable reason to have concentration camps. Because of people like you, concentration camps have been able to exist. Have you ever been to one? I have, to several including Auschwitz. I believe you are a danger to society, I hope you will never hold any position of power.

You support and justify crimes against humanity so there is no reason for me to continue this conversation any longer.

How could apartheid be an overreaction to that?

Apartheid has been going on for years and years now. Just like the rest of the oppression and locking people in a closed off ghetto. Its not a reaction to Oct7. Oct7 is a reaction to apartheid (which was a terrorist act which I condemn).

But besides that, you argue that racism, stripping people of their human rights and identity for an entire group of people is fine when a small group of terrorists commit a terrorist attack?

Crimes against humanity are never fine. No matter what happened. When a few commit a terrorist act, or do whatever horrible thing possible, that still shouldn’t justify to become a monster yourself in general, but especially not to thousands of innocent civilians.

The reasoning of “yeah but look what they did” was the reason nazi Germany justified deporting jews to Auschwitz. It’s the reason why the US invaded and completely wrecked Afghanistan. It’s the reason Russia invaded Ukraine and defends it’s war crimes. It’s the reason for the ethnic cleansing by Israel and why they refuse to cease fire.

Never justify horrible acts like war crimes and crimes against humanity by saying “but look what they did” because crimes against humanity and war crimes do not have an asterisk or ammendment saying “except when-”.

You’re calling the opposition of an extreme nationalistic state nazis.

But post October 7, it’s hard to argue they’re overreacting to it.

Apartheid isn’t overreacting? Enclosing millions in a ghetto, limiting their food, water and electricity is not against human rights? Constantly stealing land is just fine? Stripping people of their rights is just? Torture is good for the right cause? Financing a terrorist organisation like Hamas to continue crimes against humanity isn’t wrong?

Except for the concentration camps, they do everything exactly as nazi Germany did. Putting everyone in ghettos, stripping them of their rights, denying them in shops and public places, steal everything from them, torturing them, falsely imprison them without cause or trial, etc. But instead of concentration camps they bomb schools, hospitals, aid workers, refugee camps. They cut them off from drinking water, food transports, electricity. When you find Israel just in their crimes against humanity, during and/or before the war, you’re no better then Hitler himself.

Please note I’m not pro Hamas. They are terrorists. But they are a product of the years and years of oppression, apartheid and humanitarian crisis created by the Israeli state.

There is no right or wrong here. There is only wrong and millions of innocent civilians (on both sides but mostly on the Palistinian side).

Yeah I completely agree. But there’s a difference between silencing your opposition by banning their opinion and banning certain harmful words. I believe we shouldn’t silence them because we do not agree, we just need to fight their idiology and propaganda, and them whenever they endanger anyone else.

We shouldn’t ban anyone from speaking out their opinion, we should disapprove their opinion and argue they are wrong.

Israel is a nationalistic state. They take away the rights of any Palestinian living in their stolen lands. More then 70% of the Jewish inhabitants of Israel oppose their government but the government tries to continue conflict to maintain power under the wartime government law. That is undermining democracy.

I’m not a nazi, I’m a anachrist fighting right wing extremism. I do not try to undermine democracy, I try to uphold it.

I don’t think you understand what a nazi is. It stands for national socialist, you know, like Hitler. A socialist society for only your own ethnicity and to getting rid of anyone else. Like Israel does right now.

Israel is a right wing extremist state, the last state where apartheid exists, a state annexing land out of greed, a state murdering people from another ethnicity on a mass scale (we call this genocide), committing war crimes and crimes against humanity like torture and bombing schools, hospitals, humanitarian aid and refugee camps. They do not fight nazis, they are the nazis.

And please note it’s the Israeli state which talks and acts like a nazi. Not Jewish people in general, not every Israeli inhabitant. Just the state and anyone who supports the state.

I do? I never said that. I do not approve of nazis, I fight against them. But somehow you keep saying I approve of them and keep calling me a nazi. So you’re just a troll. Well, you got me to respond so that’s a win for you I guess.

I never aid I tolerate them. I’m fighting hard against fake news, propaganda and their protests. Just because I fight them, doesn’t mean I believe they have less rights to their opinion or less rights to live. I just don’t agree with them and I want to fight them. I don’t want to be the same as them by putting them beneath me, taking away their rights. They have a right to their opinion, they have a right to protest and they have a right to get a beating whenever they protest against LGBTQ+, other ethnicities, or what so ever or when spreading Russian and other right wing propaganda. We can’t just silence, imprison and kill people we don’t agree with, that’s what nazis do.

We can show them they are wrong, we can fight them, we can show others what’s behind their mask, we can convict them of their crimes when they make them.

Freedom of speech doesn’t have an amendment saying “only if you agree with me”.
