"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
Those who are determined to be ‘offended’ will discover a provocation somewhere. We cannot possibly adjust enough to please the fanatics, and it is degrading to make the attempt ― Christopher Hitchens.
There really needs to be an inverse version of this, for those who are so anxious to not offend that they will buckle instantly to the fanatics.
Mars probably hopes to land the lucrative contract for concessions in the PRC slave labor camps. I mean, if five million Uigher slaves each eat one Snickers a day... that's a hell of a lot of Snickers!
I wonder if this is an example of how many people in the US haven't kept up with how much China has changed under the current dictator? Or even that there is a dictator ruling China now?
And one of their new strategies is what I call "whining to win". It takes advantage of all the current "woke" culture that is spreading over the world. Every time the US does something they don't like (like recognizing Taiwan's independence) they whine like 5 year olds, expecting the US government or businesses to kowtow and apologize.
But it's all just a show. Like their bluster about Pelosi. In the end, they just made fools of themselves, and embarrassed many of the Chinese citizens who thought the CCP lost face by not doing what they threatened. Xinnie the Pooh, indeed.
V: He was certainly on to something. Look at all of the trusts and foundations that were originally endowed by captains of industry, and how they've essentially become sources of huge amounts of cash to individuals and organizations that have done, and continue to do, much harm to our country.

ReplyDeletePlus they're more compliant. Except, how many Snickers will make it the slaves.
DeletePlus, they need that energy boost for cutting down trees, dragging sledges, digging ditches, etc.
ReplyDeleteAnd digging mass graves. Unless they're building a wall....
DeleteDoes every company that became rich and powerful under American capitalism have to spit on America at every chance?
ReplyDeleteApparently so.
Heinlein wrote that the biggest threat to capitalism is successful capitalists.
Smart guy that Heinlein.
