Boycott Apple for sucking up to China. Google products are at least a year ahead now anyways and Google actually left China altogether at one point.

Any US company that sells technology to China supporting these sorts of big brother population control should be held criminally liable for its end use.

We should all boycott Blizzard and not buy their games regardless of how good they are. We should try and convince everyone we possibly can to join us. Freedom and preventing unjust state beatings and murder is more important than having so

I agree, China is now a nightmare dictatorship. We should do everything we possibly can to support the free peoples remaining in Hong Kong and Taiwan and perhaps start pushing freedom into China.

I think we all need to boycott Blizzard and the NBA for putting money over freedom and democracy.

I wonder what Chinese citizens think when a popular show like South Park just completely disappears? I usually appreciate South Park and it's very strong morals. I think we all need to boycott the NBA and Blizzard for putting money ove

I love South Park and it's defense of freedom. We should boycott the NBA and blizzard for their cowardice and putting money ahead of democracy.

The Communist Party of China has throughout the protest been dressing up their agents like protesters and having them do bad things. I'm sure there are a few bad apples among the protesters, but I bet most of what you're seeing is

Require full payment or at least half payment upfront, and don't turn over any work until you get the final payment.

I love South Park and I'm extremely impressed by the morals the show has. I think we all should boycott the NBA and Blizzard.

This will only stop a few American perpetrators. Putin is running a total war against the west using propaganda as a primary weapon. Tens of thousands of people are putting up false websites and comments. They will not stop because of this

I think the Russian war on the west is far larger than even this article shows. I think Putin is treating this like a total war and directing massive resources of money and people to destabilize every country around the world he can. Russia

I am really struggling to ever put my phone down. I get stuck in a loop of checking email, then Facebook, then a series of news websites including hacker news. Then repeat all day.

Read Superintelligence... An excellent book that reads like a study or a philosophy text on AI. I think there's a clear and present danger of human extinction.

This is a good point, law is the operating system for society. When you think about any given issue, you run into many sub-issues. However, keep in mind this is Chinese law which at this point is only enforced selectively to back the goals

South Park is 100% right. We need to back them in their fight against a murderous totalitarian dictatorship holding millions of people in concentration camps. We might like the cheap goods coming from China, but remember they come from peop

We need to avoid getting lost in minor internal debates. I agree some classes of people in America have had more difficulty exercising their rights, but they always had those rights and the courts enforced them usually. What we are talking

I think you're right that people are making a choice to get cheaper goods over promoting democracy. I think we need to make this choice more visible and strongly push companies and individuals to make choices that support democracy.

We need to evacuate HK... Give all freedom fighters there the option for asylum and citizenship in any Western country.

This is not true. The interstate highway system was a massive improvement to our country and enabled us to leap ahead. There are always sour grapes from people who had to move, but moving should not be a big deal.

I agree, social media should require validation that you are a real person.

If we don't pay the national debt, the US economy would suffer enormously. Eventually people would lose trust in the US dollar itself causing hyperinflation which leads to the worst disasters in modern history.

I agree. The article's key takeaway is that "Mute buttons in any form should raise red flags".
