That is probably because that is how the shp file is organized. All of the borderlines with other countries and the sea are made into a polygon. The data associated with each of these boundaries has a country associated with it. That particular island in the South China Sea is a province of China in the shp file data. Thus removing all polygons associated with china includes Taiwan. The poster would have to go out of their way to modify the shp file to differentiate Taiwan from the rest of China to do what you said.

For a solution to exist it must be materially possible to do first. otherwise its nonsense.

Between the core and the periphery, each individual communist should work within where they can dialecticaly change things most effectively. The core needs to take the boot off the periphery, and the periphery needs to seize the means of production from the most exploitive industries of global capitalism (imperialism).

If the United States has to cut China out of logistics and China has to cut the United States out of logistics, that would be very hairy, but I see this as the United States using hard power to undermine its soft power in the long term. I hope that the people in charge of nukes in the USA can’t or don’t start a nuclear war in that situation.

yes because that means that they could be launched via internet. Last I heard the system is airgapped using old technology and I hope that they did not do an upgrade to improve effeciency of launch to depreciate security of unauthorized launches.

“knowlege based economy” means “work we could not outsource yet”

I think they are silly enough to not realize that high tech 100 years ago is not what is high tech now. If you truly abandon materialism this does make sense.

well, Democrats hate Russia more and Republicans hate China more. Still very similar.

Yea. I’ve learned to not believe everything I hear anymore. It takes time to look into whether something is true for me nowadays.

You commies are so anti-semantic like the Nazis! Horseshoe theory is totally real!

Most really good FOSS is funded by donations of a 5013c institution. If the software is beneficial to a corporation, that corporation may see it in its best interests to make sure that the software has continuous funding. The not so great FLOSS is written as a hobby by a small group of individuals.

what is Radio Free West?

oh its even sillier than I imagined.

Let me add to this falsehood:

The crypto wallets that bezos gives the employees are suspiciously insecure. These wallets sometimes “accidentally” transfer funds back to the employer not authorized by the employee. The crypto bro CEO of Amazon insists that the employees take personal responsibility for their crypto wallets. It is noted that wallets for Amazon coin don’t have this issue if the wallets are not issued to employees. Employees are expected to “get gud” and secure their own crypto wallets by buying a better crypto wallet from Amazon in Dollars. Employees are incentivized to hype up this crypto currency in order to make their pay go up.

To whatever extent you can do that go ahead. However all of those methods would be less exploitative and therefore less profitable than the terrible exploititive methods we keep on doing.

This video elaborates on that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gSzzuY1Yw0

It seems that alot of those comments come from such an individualistic perspective. Understanding that the totality of all workers in a society produce a certain amount of goods and services regardless, and the real question is how those goods and services are distributed. Technology can increase the total number of goods and services per labor output per individual. Also people generally like feeling that they are contributing to society. Why are they fussing over whether one is laboring rather than how the fruits of the labor are distributed. With techological progression you can work 16 hour weeks and just chill and everyone can chill once the work necessary to maintain civilization is satisfied.

May your jimmies remain unrustled, never having to contemplate your assumptions.

not agreeing with a person is not necessarily a logical fallacy. It could be a difference in assessment of what info is factual. In order to assess a contradiction in logic, one must first verify that there is no contradiction in facts.

Amazon now agrees to pay a million dollar fine every month for its labor violations of paying workers exclusively in its own crypto currency. This agreement has been very profitable.
