  • I can recognise bad aspects of AES countries but the existence of police isn’t one of them.

    Cops in AES serve the state. The exists to subdue enemies and dangers to the socialist state and society. To think that society can just tick on without them is utopian nonsense.

    In my experience, cops in AES countries are a trusted and respected institution. I’m trusting the judgement of those who live with them over some American idealist who never has.








  • Attitudes now are the same as anywhere, but China’s specific situation is unique. They went from the tightest covid restrictions in the world to “what’s covid?” practically overnight. Literally they closed testing infrastructure and let the majority of the population catch covid in the space of about 6 weeks. Other countries took years to go through the same thing, while maintaining testing and counting (to varying extents obviously) throughout.

    Again, I don’t think it’s a “coverup”, I think they legitimately don’t know the stats because they stopped testing entirely. It’s a big country, a million people can die and its not going to be noticeable on the ground, I sincerely don’t see why the Chinese and western death estimates I linked above are so implausible?
