The most obvious conspiracy theory is that China released Covid 19 to stop the Hong Kong protests. Too easy for the CTs?
Mass sentencing of pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong. Dark for the world when the United States ceases to raise its voice for human rights and dignity. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/18/w...
Dozens of Hong Kong Pro-Democracy Leaders Sentenced in Mass Trial
The 45 defendants, including Joshua Wong, were at the forefront of the opposition movement crushed by Beijing. Many had already been in jail for years.

I can hear the heterodox people now "Liberals are catastrophizing again. The rules don't allow this."

In case you were wondering, Hitler's emergency powers lasted 12 years until he finally died.
Donald Trump says he plans to declare a national emergency in order to enact a program of mass deportations using the military

The thing about Silicon Valley wet dreams of pocket virtual technocracies is that China won't really give a fuck about what you're trying to do. Kill the American military and we become their bitch

Wonder if they understand the communist connection to the word revolutionary. Wonder if conspiracy brains like Bret Weinstein and James Lindsay find this to be a problem
Every word of this screams amateur hour.
These are men who aren't smart, shouldn't be managing anyone, and have no idea what they're doing.
