China has claimed sovereignty over Taiwan since 1949, when the nationalist faction in the Chinese civil war fled to the island and claimed independence from the mainland’s Communist government. In recent years tensions between China and Taiwan have intensified, with Xi saying “reunification” with Taiwan must be fulfilled, and hinting that China may use force to bring it about.

Interesting, how did they flee to the island, John Yahoo? Did they get there all by themselves?

Ignorance is bliss cliches hit for a reason lol

I agree, I also wasn’t prepared for the extent of the brutality but I think it’s a must listen for history/podcast enjoyers bc it could indicate that more heinous shit is going on right now that we won’t know about for half a century

I’d argue your experience is representative. Clapistan is a large place with many ppl. That means lots of desolate suburb, countless layers of tyrants, endless expansive despair.

The difference is that you’re lucky enough to have eyes to see beyond bullshit and assess your reality for what it is instead of accepting your place in the hellish game with have to play here.
