Especially building islands that host military bases, despite condemnation from the UN? I mean they're practically bullying Taiwan and Hong Kong as well.
yes. china is an imperialist capitalist nation just like the US at this point.
i cant believe my position on this isnt obvious to you.
Quote from: Azumarill on March 04, 2018, 02:46:20 PMyes. china is an imperialist capitalist nation just like the US at this point.I think the problem is once a nation reaches critical mass with power, you see this happen, and it's kinda shittyQuotei cant believe my position on this isnt obvious to you. this isn't necessary
this is why we need international accountability and built-in accountability of a state government to its proles (i mean true democracy, not lip service democracy like america's or china's). addressing abuses of power is a bit of a different conversation anyway.
Can someone from Sapphire explain to me what ideologies/beliefs they considered bannable, and why does everything on there seem to boil down to politics, at least from an outside perspective that's what it seems like.I can understand the dislike of banter/rudeness, but what I don't understand is what seems like the very firm political thought that controls the group, and the apparent disdain for any opposing thought.

Best democracy is a parliamentary one imo for various reasons. Also I don't think China tries to pass off it's a Democracy at all, just capitalist (even if they don't outright say it.). China is as one party as you can be and they use Trump as an example as to why Democracy shouldn't be a thing there.

Azumarril accused us of being classist yesterday, and I genuinely have no clue what he was talking about. I'm not even sure he knows.

2018 and I'm surprised Sapphire is still relevant
