Because he was a dictator

2018-06-30 17:48:17 UTC

He did many good things

2018-06-30 17:48:58 UTC

he didnt even have any official power

2018-06-30 17:49:13 UTC

But ultimately the murder and illicit jailings. The torture. The surveillance. It outweighed the healthcare. The stability. The education.

2018-06-30 17:49:31 UTC

He still used fear

2018-06-30 17:49:45 UTC

And he got what everyone who uses fear gets.

2018-06-30 17:50:07 UTC

Tbh I still think he is better than what is there now

2018-06-30 17:50:15 UTC

But he was very far from a saint

2018-06-30 17:50:47 UTC

what did he jail for

2018-06-30 17:50:59 UTC

dont say criticism

2018-06-30 17:51:01 UTC

that was allowed

2018-06-30 17:51:05 UTC

Many things. Political dissent being one.

2018-06-30 17:51:11 UTC

called it

2018-06-30 17:51:17 UTC

Not criticism

2018-06-30 17:51:48 UTC

appears they're the same thing

2018-06-30 17:51:53 UTC

I'll rephrase

2018-06-30 17:51:58 UTC

Political opponents

2018-06-30 17:52:02 UTC

Better?

2018-06-30 17:52:11 UTC

people who criticize the government = political opponents

2018-06-30 17:52:28 UTC

Abu salim prison

2018-06-30 17:52:39 UTC

Human rights violations there

2018-06-30 17:52:49 UTC

alleged*

2018-06-30 17:53:09 UTC

No doubt he lifted up his people. But he did not do it bloodlessly.

2018-06-30 17:54:05 UTC

its not like the west is guilty of killing innocents

2018-06-30 17:54:18 UTC

didnt eisenhower kill like 1m german pows extrajudicially

2018-06-30 17:54:54 UTC

The west's bloodstains are irrelevant here. We are discussing gaddafi. Believe me i have a lot to say about the west's atrocities

2018-06-30 17:54:55 UTC

+ obama's airstrikes killing civilians

2018-06-30 17:55:19 UTC

right i thought you were one of those people who say the west does nto do these things

2018-06-30 17:55:27 UTC

My point is don't romanticize

2018-06-30 17:56:18 UTC

I am in general adversarial to government actions. I believe in extreme rigor and watchdogs.

2018-06-30 17:56:55 UTC

i mean, i dont really have sympathy for the kinds of people who went to that prison

2018-06-30 17:56:59 UTC

its hard to

2018-06-30 17:57:32 UTC

Rights are rights. If you can take them from one you can take them from all.

2018-06-30 17:58:10 UTC

Sympathy or not. If that massacre happened it was wrong.

2018-06-30 17:58:22 UTC

if it happened

2018-06-30 17:58:32 UTC

extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence

2018-06-30 17:58:38 UTC

I agree

2018-06-30 17:59:15 UTC

It's why I don't support him being ousted

2018-06-30 17:59:26 UTC

We didn't have nearly enough reason

2018-06-30 19:03:24 UTC

A Twitter thread observed by the JBP server

2018-06-30 19:11:02 UTC

I give the guy points for being self aware, but honestly believing Trump is anything close to a "worst nightmare" for the left is also part of the problem.

2018-06-30 19:13:51 UTC

Hell, thats what is driving the hysteria, the insane belief that Trump is going to destroy the world when he is a crushingly mediocre politician in every way. Most of his success is owed to that hysteria.

2018-06-30 19:14:42 UTC

Trump isn't mediocre imo. I'm not his biggest fan but he had made some moves. Though the N. korea summit greatly dissappointed me.

2018-06-30 19:15:18 UTC

Yes he has.

2018-06-30 19:15:30 UTC

Which is why i said mediocre and not awful

2018-06-30 19:16:15 UTC

With 5 being perfectly meh. Trump is a 6.5

2018-06-30 19:16:42 UTC

Of course with time that can change. It just depends.

2018-06-30 19:23:37 UTC

what was the problem with the korea summit @dasuberuser

2018-06-30 19:24:19 UTC

Nothing was accomplished that I'm aware of. Accept for getting him to a summit of course.

2018-06-30 20:20:26 UTC

That is an accomplishment on its own

2018-06-30 20:22:18 UTC

True

2018-06-30 20:57:18 UTC

Slightly Offens*ve was attacked. Summer is here boys. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MkgVVXDi2I

2018-06-30 20:58:34 UTC

attack @14:17 followed by a massive crowd chanting "shame"

2018-06-30 21:00:45 UTC

By who?

2018-06-30 21:00:48 UTC

Damn

2018-06-30 21:00:53 UTC

seems to be a masked antifa faggot

2018-06-30 21:03:51 UTC

More like pantyfa

2018-06-30 21:17:52 UTC

Trump excells at the financial portions. Economic and regulatory. He does saunder some on foriegn. But to be honest N Korea is 60 years in the making. I wasnt going to be fixed in a day, even he said that. But to be honest we only gained from the summet not lost. Far better dealings than the Iran mess

2018-06-30 21:19:27 UTC

Even Iran, took an internal hit now.

2018-06-30 21:19:46 UTC

Iran was an international hit in the first place

2018-06-30 21:19:50 UTC

EU will get the privilege of funding the first nuke that goes off in their territory.

2018-06-30 21:20:21 UTC

I mean, internal. Iranians are now chanting death to Palestine, and an end to the current government.

2018-06-30 21:20:53 UTC

shady dealings to get them money they shouldnt have on the promise they would stop nuke research when they werent going to. And it didnt even incluse stopping missile research.

2018-06-30 21:21:07 UTC

they have been chanting that for decades

2018-06-30 21:21:19 UTC

That usually means some underlings didn't get paid well enough.

2018-06-30 21:21:34 UTC

gotta keep those keys to power happy <:GWgoaThinken:405753076432109573>

2018-06-30 21:21:49 UTC

Sup roach

2018-06-30 21:22:07 UTC

So they're not too confident on the EU paying what the USA promised.

2018-06-30 21:22:31 UTC

Are you ready to make sultan erdogan very happy @Ruggwain ?

2018-06-30 21:22:49 UTC

We already gave then 1.5bil in euroes

2018-06-30 21:23:02 UTC

And we already backed out of it

2018-06-30 21:23:04 UTC

I dunno <:GWgoaThinken:405753076432109573>

2018-06-30 21:23:12 UTC

Are you ready for greek concentration camps? <:GWgoaThinken:405753076432109573>

2018-06-30 21:23:47 UTC

Are you ready for the complete and through eradication of the Turks?

2018-06-30 21:25:03 UTC

๐Ÿค”

2018-06-30 21:25:12 UTC

you'd have to fight a lot of countries for that <:GWgoaThinken:405753076432109573>

2018-06-30 21:26:07 UTC

Nah

2018-06-30 21:26:22 UTC

Just the roaches in turkey

2018-06-30 21:26:28 UTC

The other Turks are cool

2018-06-30 21:26:45 UTC

๐Ÿค” strange coming from you

2018-06-30 21:29:19 UTC

The Turks in turkey need to wiped out

2018-06-30 21:31:45 UTC

We can give annatolia to actual roaches.

2018-06-30 21:33:37 UTC

Give Anatolia back to the Romans

2018-06-30 21:33:52 UTC

Yes

2018-06-30 22:07:10 UTC

There are real romans still around? I thought the last of em were turned into mussalini pretty boys.

2018-06-30 22:09:15 UTC

It's a joke I've been floating around this server after one guy stopped around to tell us about how the Balkans are true Albanian lands. After a bit of poking about Turkish and Greek claims, I just went for broke and said "Give the Balkans back to the Romans"

2018-06-30 22:15:04 UTC

Skylanders is w0ke apparently

2018-06-30 22:15:42 UTC

Been watching their show and they had an entire episode about "the Utopia is just one arrested thoughtcriminal away"

2018-06-30 22:15:52 UTC

2018-06-30 22:39:25 UTC

No

2018-06-30 22:40:21 UTC

2018-06-30 22:45:14 UTC

I haven't

2018-06-30 22:48:24 UTC

It's a spinoff channel of China Uncensored, which is a Patreon funded venture in reporting about China related things
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrEqATvtGHA

They're pretty balanced in reporting the different perspectives while adding a sprinkle of comedy and sarcasm to things

Good old China
