    I’ve never seen a box of these actually marketed as candy cigarettes. They’re usually just candy sticks but it’s just something that kids always do regardless.

    With that said over here there is no branding or marketing allowed on/of cigarettes, period. Nor are they allowed to be on display in any shop. So it’s not too surprising that they’re also not on candy. Cigarettes look like this here (content warning graphic smoking damage image):

  • It’s a one-party state with all candidates chosen by the party.

    It may wear the skin of a democracy, but it is not a democracy.

    This is the vaguest description ever and it’s not even correct with the vague points. There are multiple parties, and given that there are multiple parties the candidates certainly aren’t chosen by one party.

    How are candidates chosen? Who elects them? When are elections held? What is the structure of the elections?

    Do you know any of these things? Serious question. Have you ever investigated and learned this topic thoroughly? You know how the US system works I assume, I bet you vaguely understand some other systems too, like parliamentary ones such as the UK (or not, could be wrong). Have you ever actually investigated the topic or have you just passively repeated vague statements made by other people who are also passively repeating vague statements about it?

    If you want me to I can in fact give you a fairly good summary of how the Chinese system actually works. But do you even want to know? Are you actually open to learning?






  • Are you out of your mind? They would go away and get a warrant, for a gun thing they wouldn’t even show up without one.

    There have only been 80 fatal police shootings in the UK since 1990. In 32 years.

    In the USA there have been 8,694 since 2015.

    You live in a fascist jackbooted police state where the cops kick down people’s doors and execute them mate. Your failure to recognise this is simply a matter of seeing it as normal when it is completely fucking INSANE by the standards of literally every other country in the world.
