    Yes, that’s what PALs get you. For handguns you needed an RPAL, but that is no longer possible. Mostly because the PLC couldn’t be arsed to blame the US for the illegal guns coming across the border.

    The safety classes aren’t “offered”, they are mandatory.

    Meanwhile in the real world, the vast majority of liberation movements are Marxists, Trotskyist or otherwise left wing. Including, you know, people like the PFLP, Myanmar’s PDF, POUM during the Spanish civil war, the Zapatistas, Sandisnistas.

    What are you actually doing for the liberation of oppressed people kther than tone policing?





  • And it was much harder in the 90s in the US than it is now. Gay bashing was still pretty common. Change takes time. The direction of change is at least as important. It’s obvious that Russia and China are changing in diametrically opposite direction from one another. Go on see for yourself on Red Note, plenty of gay and lesbian content there.

    Same can be said for quality of life as well. Russian’s life expectancy has been declining (not even accounting for the war), and so has their purchasing power and disposable income. Chinese citizen on the other hand are clearly benefiting from the system in which they evolve.

    There are certainly things one can be critical about, but just discarding the whole of China and its system as a failure and counter to human wellbeing is pure copium and western exceptionalism.
