Do you think the Honey Bees or Fire Ants have democracy? Do you think they are on the path to evolve democracy? Why would you assume it’s counterproductive or disastrous to let absolute power be in the hands of the few elected through meritocracy?
Do you think an average American has the intelligence and knowledge to make an informed geopolitical decision?
Do you think democracy can solve the issue of the Tyranny of the Majority?
Do you think American democracy (it’s a republic, not democracy) is effective in filtering out incapable people that can deliver a pretty speech?
Is there evidence that shows China lacks the instrument to self-correct its policies?
Is there evidence that shows electoral democracy in the US is more advanced than meritocratic democracy in China? A democratic autocracy through the institution of the meritocratic democracy is not a traditional autocracy and it’s not a dictatorship. It’s an evolved version of electoral democracy.
etc.
Yes, Tim Cook can prosecute any employees he doesn’t like, and if you magnify that to a national level, Tim as the president can prosecute any Americans.
Imagine a democratic Apple voting to allow working 200 days a year with remaining as paid leaves for “seeking creative endeavours”.
I don't see you trying to shoehorn republicans into the discussion have any merit. Whatever. Doesn't change my original opinion.
And Reddit is banned in my country, another "nice" perk of moral/thought control that many woke people in the west seem to desire.
Why? It is the responsibility of the parent to do the best for children they love….if they indeed love them.
I'm talking about history. Japanese were also Chinese mainlanders migrants there 1000+ years ago.
and that's what I'm talking about.
I should have used that. Sincere mistake.
Do you think the Honey Bees or Fire Ants are human beings?
and..? What would Tim Cook do? Jail them like Xi and the gangs would do to dissents?
Yeah, I know. Like I said, I get what you're trying to say. But coming out and labeling other countries' race as "Chinese" is not doing anything for your point. Like another comment said, East Asians is more proper.
"1000+ years ago". Technically correct. But it's like saying the European settlers came to America 10+ years ago.
An American invasion of China? The current U.S. military could barely conquer the Bahamas.
They are highly sophisticated and highly efficient super-organisms.
Tim would say no and fire them if they insist. That’s why democracy does not work on a corporate level.
Think Walmart, for example, the meat department organized and signed to unionize officially. What did Walmart do under this democratic and populist result? Capitulate? No, no, no, they didn’t fire any employees because that would violate the law, so, they had a business restructuring that conveniently closed down the entire meat operation, as they made a decision to only offer packaged meat in that region. Everyone was given a severance pay, but they had strikes before, so they didn’t get much of a pay… That’s democracy for ya!
America can invade anyone, but they can't conquer anything. Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan…
Anyone who invades China also risks becoming part of China. The Xiongnu did. The Mongols did. The Manchu did.
"Chinese races". "China mainlanders arrived in Japan 1000+ years ago".
I highly encourage you to learn more about East Asian history, culture, and East Asian modern states. You know how the world thinks "Americans are dumb"? I didn't believe them until I started traveling abroad. Then I was like.. yea Americans are dumb. You don't have to be. You can be more open to other cultures, read more history, watch less mainstream news.
So corporation is not like government then since he doesn't have authority to persecute anyone as he please? He can't even jail Apple employees, let alone all other Americans.
The Chinese actually respects the US very much, they always plan for the worst, especially after the Gulf War.
Right. There’s no chance of a U.S. invasion of China within the next decade or two.
I don't know why you're intentionally being semantic. The word is a mistake and I have accepted that. Any nations has dumb people including China. Before criticize the US while stealing their intellectual works maybe just chill and realize that in a fast conversation people could use a "wrong" word, word police?
Why would you do direct comparisons on things that you should only draw parallels? That’s logical fallacy.
You didn’t ask me why the Queen Bee or the Queen Fire Ant can’t jail Americans, did you? It’s the same idea.
Because you can't even get the basics rights. How can people take your opinion seriously on something that is highly complicated?
Why would I ask that? I asked about Tim Cook because you said corporations are the same as government which they clearly are not.
Mistake happens in a fast conversation. Have nothing to do with right or wrong as a whole. Just chill.
It means that they are analogous.
Man, you would do very bad on Raven’s progressive matrices, which is a major part of a rigorous IQ test.
My partners friend told us the other day: “my 7 year old son doesn’t want to do anything - he just spends all his free time watching Douyin (TikTok). He doesn’t even want to play games”.
The kid apparently doesn’t have his own device, just sneaks them away from the parents and grandparents. Top to bottom there’s so many things going wrong here!
