Pretending it is anything more than a way to order your thoughts and slow your heart rate; which reading and journaling both do with about the same scientifically measured effectiveness, is the woowoo part.

It’s not a tie to a spiritual world, or doesn’t raise nor lower your vibration or frequency or whatever nonsense is pushed by which ever nonsense ‘sect’ decides to use it to back their nonsense.

It’s useful in creating a relaxed environment for your body to not overreact and start it’s maintenance functions. And can be useful as a practice to control your thoughts into more useful patterns.

The country with the fascist extermination camps that accept anyone for money without any possible chance of appeal extends their laws to start exterminating children?

Who could have possibly seen this coming?

‘Xenophobic’ my guy a culture of ignorance deserves to be criticized.

My dude half the west believes there’s such a thing as a ‘uyghur genocide,’ half believe Israel has ever been a victim, and most still believe China is somehow a dictatorship despite that being an ancient CIA psyop.

There is no evidence a single person in the west has ever been taught critical thought, how to research claims, or that their government can lie through third parties that they’ve paid.

The real history behind Feng Shui is literally just how to not be as vulnerable to assassins and stubbed toes. The ‘woowoo’ stuff was added by whites in the US in the 1970s (like Yoga, meditation, and all other nonsense.

What could China do that the US dropping more bombs than were dropped during the entirety of WWII didn’t do?

What… what do you think modern Chinese history is? While it’s widely regarded as over, no peace treaty was ever signed. And while the KMT dictatorship lost power across the Taiwan islands in 1981, the resulting pseudo-government that formed afterwards also failed to introduce any cessation of hostilities. Hell right up until 1973 the KMT still wanted to invade the mainland again.

This war, like the Korean war, never ended. There was no formal end to either war, simply a continued pause in the hostilities. Worse, for your position, there is no active ceasefire agreement between the PRC and the pseudo-government on the island. The sole reason hostilities stopped in 1965 was because the US dedicated a carrier group to the area (and all the CIA-backed KMT soldiers that sheltered in Burma were finally routed and slowed their terror attacks down to focus on running drugs). At this point the PRC has dedicated itself to a peaceful unification, which has been the PRC’s position since 1965 when it was clear the few thousand remaining KMT soldiers could do no harm to mainland Chinese citizens and the need to be ever ready for war was taking far too many resources.

Give me one scholarly source that calls it a genocide

‘hey maybe an active civil war isn’t an example of imperialism’

“HURR DURR NO TRUE SCOTSMANNN”

…There’s video. You can just check and see.

Which western genocide are you confusing with the liberation of Tibet during its civil war?

Why do you think it is bad for the Sami to use the Dutch language? Why is it bad for the Cherokee to use English? Why is it bad for the Zulu to use Afrikaans?

East Turkestan has never existed in history, and no natives on Xinjiang have ever expressed a desire for that to be brought into existence. Turkish Terrorists have though. Weird how Uyghurs in Turkey live a worse life in all respects than those in Xinjiang now though…

Also No. They didn’t occupy Tibet, they freed it. But hey if you want to take the side of a child sex slave owning pedophile like the Dalai Lama…

There is no ‘Taiwanese national identity.’ The KMT eradicated what was left of the native Taiwanese population (to be fair that genocide was started by Japan, like nearly all genocides in East Asia). There are no native ‘taiwanese’ left, just primarily han chinese that invaded, eradicated the native population during a civil war, and declared themselves the last bastion of China.

Because they don’t teach critical thinking in any part of the western world. Capitalism abhors critical thinking in the general populace and requires an unintelligent, unquestioning populace to continue to exist.

Critical analysis is like critical thought; absent from liberals and anarchists.

Silly Answer: American morning rituals are sacred. They are to be hidden from our enemies.

Actual Answer:

Small Data sources compiled over time with rough geographic approximation (or direct geographic information such as GPS sensors on phones) as well as likely consumer information can actually form a complete or near complete profile on the habits and locations of individuals, groups, and companies, including military targets. As an example, if we assume all Chinese companies are secretly government controlled (they’re not.) extensions of their spy agency then, for example, a useful profile might include:

Time the alarm clock went off + time water heater gets activated + time coffee maker is set to make coffee + time refrigerator is opened and closed + time recorded by alarm system + video from doorbell cam = Accurate morning routine, including when the house will be empty, when it will be occupied but not actively monitored (during a morning shower), if and when the person might be gone for a run and how long

If you need to target say, a general who you believe has classified information in his home office, then it would be amazing to know all of this. It’d also be easier to just bribe the maid to get what you want (which is how 99% of ‘spying’ operations actually work.)

If you extend that to all things that might form some amount of data on their use, you could get a total profile of everything someone does in a day in their home… or office… or possibly military base.

Now is this is a risk? Yes.

Is this a likely risk? No. Not even a little. Again bribing a maid or maintenance technician is cheaper, easier, and way, way less risky.

Then why do so many Chinese appliances send this information to unknown and scary ip addresses?

Because data is valuable to advertisers, and theoretically it’s valuable to engineers to know how their product is being used. This combined with executives’ push for everything to have an app, because data is valuable and because it makes the product seem ‘modern,’ fully offers a simple explanation on how and why we find ourselves here. But sinophobia in the Amerisraeli Empire is the only way the Epstein class actually maintains any control – if there is an enemy who they accuse of doing even worse, the subjects of the empire let them do anything they way.

Borther 30 years 60 years, it does not matter; you are sending swat to raves literally this week. under labor, for a law written by monty python that literally criminalizes every single march or statistically every group of 20^2 people walking in any given space..

This wild idea perpetuated in the US that we live in some sort of Police State is absurd.

It’s not the US, it’s the entire rest of the world. All europeans make fun of your prison island. Heck the only reason most European countries interacted with you all pre-brexit was because you were on the right side of WWII… eventually.

Are you quite a police state? You are the closest thing one could describe as a police state, from prison time for criticizing the government, saying the UK shouldn’t participate in a genocide, to not being able to buy a butter knife without ID.

The only thing you are missing is harsher punishments for your ridiculous ‘crimes,’ but I think that might actually cause a revolution in your country.

Keir was one of the few who (finally) stood up to that blustering man-child that you guys have.

Keir is a blustering man child, and a genocidal monster.

And no, plenty of leaders have stood up to Trump, the UK was slow on the uptake to that but the world has been resisting Trump.

Labour are far, far from perfect, but to say they’re more right wing than UKIP is a seriously odd take.

UKIP does not support Israel’s genocide, somehow. The Labour Party, after removing all the progressives and socialists because of ‘antiemitism’ does. Actively endorsing and participating in genocide makes you more right wing that just planning and endorsing one.

Compared to the US you’re advanced, sure. So is Mexico, South Africa, China, and 40 other countries… The problem is the NK-propaganda level of silly laws and procedures that have come from your nightmare island.

This is one of them, 5-years for roleplay. For adults pretending to be something in an adult setting meant for adults. Are you going to ban every show that has murder? Are you going to say anyone that pretends to be a pedophile of a TV show gets 20 years in therapy for daring to bring that immorality to the British public? Are you going to give ten years for interracial? How about go full US and ban sodomy? Will you be banning doggy style for promoting bestiality?

And don’t get me wrong, it’s not just this particular bit of nonsense. Raves, for instance. Recently the UK sent multiple SWAT teams to a rave because, and I quote “The UK’s Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 (specifically Sections 63-65) empowers police to stop outdoor gatherings of 20 or more people (100 in some definitions) playing music “wholly or predominantly characterised by the emission of a succession of repetitive beats”.”

I’m sorry but that law is so ridiculously vague and hilariously worded that Monty Python could sue. Literally this is ‘man goes shopping for his ant’ era of the Flying Circus in how specifically ridiculous that is.

And you can’t say this is olden time nonsense – these are modern laws written for modern Britain. This is post Thatcher. And it’s this level of silly. Every story that comes out of the UK falls into three categories:

1. Monty Python’s Law and Order SVU.

2. Benny Hill’s The Rise of the Fourth Reich (seriously why is the labor party more right wing that UKIP now?)

3. Jimmy Carr’s Here’s another English word the English don’t use right.
