imprisoned, robbed and murdered every year to maintain a bunch of fucking lines in the fucking dirt by men with guns to consolidate their power. No fucking more. Not a other refugee turned away at gunpoint, not another immigrant held in a

My actual take on the China gaming ban is that there's a legitimate problem with game companies creating what are literally just platforms to get children addicted to gambling but the CCP wants the sweet, sweet money you get from exploiting

capitalist apparatus will come for you. The media will come for you, the NGOs will come for you, the cops will come for you, the Feds will come for you, the mercenaries will come for you, the fucking Army will come for you. And they'll do it
