Accusing a guy from the most capitalist country on the planet of being a communist lmao.
Yeah, but have you considered that he is asian, and thus probably a secret communist?
His name is suspiciously oriental, and he is the CEO of the evil Chinese app
Tom Cotton is definitely that guy that asks “No but really, where are you actually from?”
Singapore is a neo liberal hellhole, but they have social housing and medicine which makes them literally Stalin.
It’s a place of bizarre contradiction; economically they’re super neoliberal and socially restrictive. But they’ve also got steep taxes, the social housing and medicine you mentioned, and technically the state is considered the owner of all the private property; businesses are more or less leasing the capital from the state. So on paper it’s highly statist capitalism, but practically if one considers Yew’s family’s long control of the state, it’s almost like the city is a private fiefdom.

The part where he kept asking him about what happened at Tianemen Square had me cackling
A senator from the country that’s actively abetting and supporting genocide and fascism having the unmitigated gall to keep saying that
Just pure
Are these people really unable to show some professionalism, or at least act like well adjusted adults?
If there were zero consequences for how you acted at work you’d be walking around saying unhinged shit too.
That’s true. If I couldn’t be fired or disciplined for it I would definitely make my email signature “DEATH TO AMERIKKKA UNLIMITED GENOCIDE ON THE FIRSST WORLD”
If they acted like professional well adjusted adults they’d get 10% of thenvote from the hooting chuds that make up their districts
“I didn’t ask what kind of Chinese you are, just answer the question.”
: “So are ya Chai-nese or Japanese?”Funny how you can hear words sometimes
KOTH has so many amazing quotables
“NO HE AIN’T… He’s Laotian. Ain’t ya Mr. Kahn?”
Ironically, his name is Cotton. And it’s kinda funny how this maniac character turned out to not be racist, so much as he just hates Japanese nationals for personal reasons.
I mean, he is kind of racist considering he treats Khan like a valet after that
Mr. Khan, I’ll have a Mai Tai
He’s just not that kind of racist
Cotton’s good moments in the series are so funny. Like when Peggy ends up in the hospital and Cotton says “Hank! Whatdjya do to yer wife?! I didn’t teachya that!” I just like how throughout the series, Cotton isn’t shown to have no moral compass, he just has his own very specific moral compass. He’s disturbed by people calling Kahn Japanese, disgusted when he thinks Hank beat his wife, and is generally shown to be a good Dad to GH and a good grandpa to Bobby.
CW SUICIDE
The episode where he makes serious suicide plans until he has his baby in his arms always gets me. Cotton clearly cares about his family, as poorly as he’s treated Hank throughout the years. Cotton trying to commit suicide for life insurance is one of the best plot points in the entire series. KOTH is a fairly conservative show, but the way the characters are made are so realistic that I think you really could get any message out of the show. Cotton killing himself because he can’t provide for his family hits so hard as someone living with a family under capitalism. I’ve had the exact same thoughts a million times over. If someone asked me if I’d shoot myself if it meant my family would get 50 grand, I would turn my gun before the sentence was finished.
With that being said, the emotional moments in the later seasons are so fucking bad, they even ruin previous moments like this. Cotton deciding to die in the moment is funny, but I really don’t think Cotton would decide to die just to spite Peggy. GH is Cotton’s baby. Cotton may have been terrible to Hank, but Hank recognizes that Cotton was doing good for GH and kept him mouth shut to keep it going. Cotton loved that baby more than anything else he’s ever loved in the show. Cotton seems like he’d give up killing 50 men if it meant something good for GH. Cotton would have outlived Peggy out of spite.
What ocean?
is this from that one hearing from like two years ago or is this a new hearing where they’re doing the same shit?
EDIT: nope, googled it. it’s round 2
New one yes
I can’t believe this stupidity is happening again…
Why are white people like this
I absolutely love how congress is so cringe on these things I’ll find myself accidentally rooting for a CEO.
Yea I think they were talking to Zuckerberg at some point and I tuned in and some chid was just yelling over and over again “yes or no will you personally compensate everybody who lost somebody because of your site”
And I was rooting for zuck to tell them “no fuck off are you stupid”
Same thing with them repeatedly asking “do you agree the internet is a dangerous place for children” and if he started a response with anything other than yes they’d just yell over him. They asked him why he wouldn’t answer the question directly and he was like “I’m not going to say on congressional record that the internet is dangerous for all children because you’re going to try to use that to justify banning children from the internet”
How are politicians so dogshit it makes the literal bad guys of society seem repeatable and reasonable
Well bourgeois politicians are also the bad guys of society. So it’s just bad guy infighting.
This is the bipartisanship liberals are asking for.
Both Cotton and Pelosi’s brain worms working in a hive mind thinking the Chinese are behind everything they don’t like.
CPC is doing more for Yankistani unity than any actual American. Literally without lifting a finger or spending a cent.
thinking the Chinese are behind everything they don’t like.
Lazy KKKrakas are just recycling Tsarist era antisemitism. At least come up with new material smh.
I wonder what happened to the Tsar’s…
Both Cotton and Pelosi’s brain worms working in a hive mind thinking the Chinese are behind everything they don’t like.
Unless it’s russia or iran or the dprk
I remember when people feared Tom Cotton would be the “smart fascist.” I don’t really see it. He’s just as annoyingly unhinged as all the others.
There isn’t smart fascism.
Hitler was a moron. He thought he could win the war in 1945 still.
Tojo was a moron, he thought he could prevent war by going to war.
Mussolini was a moron, he thought he could hang upside down like a bat and live.
Franco was a moron, he thought his hairline would fool us.
Blanco was a moron, he thought he could go to space without a helmet and live.
sm
art fascismuThe smart fascists are just liberals.
Italian Fascism
gestures wildly at Greece
“and where in China is that”
It would be so cool if the CPC had like, affiliate membership. Not that you could vote or anything, just that they let you be an affiliate member if you’re a commie. You get a little card that says you’re a CPC member, I’d do that in a heartbeat.
It’s actually quite difficult to join the CPC. You need recommendation letters and all that. They usually pull from high school and university students who excelled academically.
I have friends in the CPC and for me it’s totally not worth it, unless you like the perks of being a party member (networking/connections, better promotion opportunities in SOE etc.).
Rest assured, you will not be discussing socialist theories with your comrades. My friends told me the regular meeting is just bunch of people talking about their “personal development”, what challenges they are facing and how they encourage each other to solve it (mostly about jobs, finances, and other issues). This is in Shanghai by the way, so a fairly middle class demographic, it could be run quite differently in rural townships and villages though, I’m sure there’s more emphasis in solving local issues etc.
Yeah, speaking as an outsider my impression is that the CPC in Shanghai is full of folks who’re liberals but pragmatically letting them into the CPC and being nerd failures is better than letting them turncoat for some liberal or western group.
I really hate the Shanghai libs!
When Zero Covid was still a thing, the Shanghai leadership wanted to emulate Western “targeted lockdown” instead of going full lockdown like everywhere else in the country, which ultimately brought Covid into China and the start of the failure to contain its spread.
Shenzhen and Shanghai both recorded the same number of cases in early 2022, but Shenzhen went full lockdown and very quickly curbed the spread. It was such a failure in Shanghai that they ultimately had to let Covid run loose in the entire country.
Xi please strengthen the ideological development of cadres in Shanghai
Theoretically being a member of your local communist party would have the same effect
Becomes an affiliate member. Gets purged. :C
Similar thing actually started the split between bolsheviks and mensheviks.
Shou Zi Chew confirmed member of Hamas.
Remember when Western countries had tests to see if people were secretly loyal to other countries or religions? I don’t know why the thought occurred to me; entirely a coincident.
I smoke meth and I’m smarter than this motherfucker.
Oohhh I am gonna condemn!
