Leave it to one of the last great, honest progressives (Glenn Greenwald) to explain it:

quote:

If Biden wins, that's going to be the power structure: a Democratic Party fully united with neocons, Bush/Cheney operatives, CIA/FBI/NSA, Wall St & Silicon Valley: presenting itself as the only protection against fascism. And much of the left will continue marching behind it.

Haven't purchased a Nike product in 3 years and do not have an iPhone, but thanks for playing.

ETA: This is basically how I feel as well:

From a practical POV it is near impossible to avoid Chinese goods especially when looking at the source components but we do the very best we can despite the extra cost


Whenever possible, I will always support local small businesses over big box conglomerates who import cheap shite from China.

Hmmm. My point of view is China is an existential threat to the US. My wife and I have gone out of our way to avoid Chinese goods as much as possible for 20 years. From a practical POV it is near impossible to avoid Chinese goods especially when looking at the source components but we do the very best we can despite the extra cost and when Chinese goods are impossible to avoid completely like with computers and phones we use them until they are no longer functional prior to replacement.


Fair point. I most likely misread.

From the guy whose initial response to this thread was, “melt, day 13”? Curious indeed.

Leftists too busy playing on their slave labor created iPhones tweeting to cancel Chris Pratt for not going to Democrat fundraisers and being religious. This won’t even show up on their feeds bc its listed as banned content on social media. They can’t see it or they want their little gadgets more than they actually care about people’s lives. It’s a lot easier to virtue signal and try to force changes that don’t effect them

Most of my friends who complain about the NBA China connection have homes full of Chinese goods. Until they make at least a good faith effort to avoid these I see them bowing down to the yuan as well and will simply roll my eyes at their complaints.

It's nearly impossible to get any kind of electronic that isn't touched by China. We need a movement to bring production back to America and to U.S. friendly nations such as Phillipines, Indonesia, India, or even Vietnam.

If you can read that and your only response is “melt, bitch,” you are a truly morally corrupt individual.



It isn't that Mr. Perfect is "morally corrupt," he's just too stupid to know any better

Doubt it. Doesn’t matter either. China is imprisoning, torturing, and killing these people solely for their religion. they’re Chinese racially but practice Islam. That’s fricked up and far worse than the “atrocities” happening in America

Sounds like these black basketball players are getting too uppity for you guys.

That's the way all this reads.

BUT THEY'RE THE REAL RACISTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And yet they're the ones who have been melting over a league that allowed black men to speak out on issues that mattered to them for almost half a year now.

And they hide behind MUH CHINA because they are too dishonest to acknowledge their own racism and bigotry.

This board has a hard on for the NBA that would put Pfizer out of business. It's just absurd.

That piece if from The Atlantuc. Not exactly a bastion of conservative thought.

The fact that someone on the left can actually see the hypocrisy for what it actually gives me a little hope.

Maybe the influx of new NBA fans and viewers should come in and defend them. There must be millions of new fans that should get in here.

O wait. Lol.

It only reads that way if you hide from the atrocities committed by the Chinese Communists and, somehow, believe the NBA and its players are genuine in caring about equality.

Is it that Black Lives Matter, or is it that Only Black Lives Matter?
