Seems like an interesting idea - perhaps we might use something similar so that every Walmart would not know where we shop.

And in a dictatorship, looking weak is asking for the Mussolini Treatment at worse and the Gorbachev Implosion at best.


I'm not very familiar with China, but I was with the USSR. China is NOT the USSR.

You might rightly claim that communism doesn't work, but dictatorships CAN, and sometimes do. I'm not defending the system in China, I'm saying it's not communist and people aren't anywhere near as miserable as they were in the USSR.

We may have a similar implosion to the USSR. If we don't, it just happens later and in far worse circumstances when everybody in the US is destitute. If it happens now, the elderly are going to have a very tough time, the dollar will collapse, living standards will shrink dramatically. The same thing will happen later as well, except the dollar would have been worthless for a long time, the living standards would have been awful for a long time.

We'll see if the millennials are as selfish, stupid, and propagandized as the boomer generation. The stupidest generation this nation has ever seen.

The Soviet Union as an extension of Russian Empire had other reasons, but also could not know favoritism in not cracking down in one area and not expect to have bigger problems when others joined in the fun.


Great Point. Lenin and Stalin continued the geopolitics of the Czar.

The Iron curtain was no different in rationale than the partition of Poland by Russia, Austria, and Prussia a hundred years before.

No shit. UK is going total George Orwell. Thatcher -- the one who poison pilled HK for the Chinese by adding in a bill of rights to the HK basic law charter right before handover -- must be flipping a lid in her grave.


The ironic thing is that the same Left that fought any reasonable measure to fight IRA bombings in Britain, is now the exact SAME PEOPLE who back cameras everywhere and want to ban all kinds of speech.

Corbyn, Livingstone, etc.

The IRA existed only because of systematic suppression of the native Irish and their legitimate desire to rule over their own homeland.

The Irish were excluded from political power, the police force, public housing, jobs, etc. Northern Ireland was gerrymandered out of Ireland to deliberately make the Irish a political minority in their own country.

Fortunately, the Irish Republic (the south) has been doing extremely well economically, giving the north a motive to perhaps join them, especially if Brexit finally goes through.

Masks are also illegal in California.
