It only makes sense if you yourself are being paid by lobbyists. Just pass a regulation for all intoxicating substances. All of the thc/hhc derivatives tested so far are as harmless as cannabis so this isn’t a safety issue. Newsom et al is simply getting more in kickbacks to ban this than if they regulated it.

Sincerely, what is China going to do with it? Open a Chinese bank account in my name? If any institution in the us accepts account openings from a chinese or vpn ip address then it cant be trustworthy enough to ever affect me.

Better country than Israel, only one has committed genocide.

Iran was “days away” from getting a nuke.

Anyone can do anything. There are only consequences after the fact and only if the state agrees there should be.

How about now that tel Aviv has been hit through the dome and us assistance?

Only the ones that speak out. Most liberals are fine with this

Yes the nazi is the better choice compared to the mentally unstable nazi. This is why dens are going to lose again and again until the country collapses and we’re rescued by someone invading us.

The us isn’t invincible and Iran has shown that the iron dome can be cheaply over powered. Ukraine showed military technology isn’t that important on modern battle fields, and I doubt Israel is really prepared for a 10+ front war. The us isnt.

Oh I’m in .world, zios are here. I forgor

Genuinely why? They’re one of the least aggressive governments in the region, and not for lack of military resources.

By starting a war it’s destined to lose?

As opposed to the countless people currently being killed?

Putin Xi in the same category as trump, musk, and putin is crazy work

Collapse of the us. Genuinely hope it happens this time instead of people just accepting having fewer rights again.

You’re not wrong but you’re on the wrong instance if your solution isn’t just ‘hold hands and vote for black trump with a d next to their name next election’.

A) ‘troll farms,’ also known as PR companies exist in all modern countries and most all major companies. They’re not a feature of china or Russia. They’re not something your supposed enemies are doing out of the evilness and dastardlyness in their hearts.

B) PR companies target wide range forums. There are more users on some BBCode forums for obscure games than the entire (actual) fediverse. There are more American users of Redbook than the entire fediverse. Even if you assume these evil scum just use one individual for their scheme of… Making anti Chinese propaganda look less reasonable… That would be more in wages than it costs to run the entirety of lemmy. Not to mention all other operational costs. We know roughly what these groups get paid, since they’re public job postings (and get leaked like Israel’s jidf when they’re not). They’re not cheap enough to was on an audience of, at most, 45k users from across the world, most of whom are already anti American, anti imperialist, and sympathetic to the morals of the CCP if not the actual country due to local propaganda efforts.

This is your mind when you mainline neoliberal propaganda like black tar heroin.
