It’s like what Austin, Texas was before the disaster of the hipster and Californian invasion.

Kanji refers to Japanese characters, which are distinct and different from hanzi, Chinese characters. Seriously, there isn’t much overlap between them. What I can’t figure out is that if you’ve studied…you obviously know this. So why the weird take?

But yeah, the dumpster fire that is the US left have cheered a lot of this censorship on. It will bite them in the ass.

The irony being that they were staunch advocates of free speech as recently as 2014. I can still dig up the posts where they proudly state that any censor is a fascist and a coward who can’t marshal logical arguments.

Of course, this is when the left wasn’t in a position to censor anyone. Now that it’s been normalized, Pandora’s box has been opened and it’s far too late to do anything. If it’s a comfort, consider that the right is getting hit harder than anyone. When Rogan falls soon, as he must, then the Whos down in Whoville will all cry boo-hoo. And that’s a noise that we all simply must hear.

Losing liveleak.com was a big blow. You could watch the news days or weeks before it got reported. Al-Qaeda in Syria was posting videos of them firing Javelin missiles which they only could do if the US was officially supplying them. USA supporting Al-Qaeda, yup, that happened.

Yeah, there were a lot of false “bin Laden is dead” stories back then. Hard to tell how many of them were disinformation, how many were CIA ops, and how many were just journalists printing whatever they heard without verification.

PNAC urges war in 1996: http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article3249.htm

“That strategy should aim, above all, at the removal of Saddam Hussein’s regime from power. We stand ready to offer our full support in this difficult but necessary endeavor.”

Yeah. Being handsome doesn’t hurt, but it’s not really what women are attracted to.

I used to make cinnamon toothpicks and sell 'em to kids. 10 cents each or three for a quarter. But it was a different age then. Probably some kid has waffle allergies or something and will die if waffles are cooked in the same building.

OK now I’m curious. Can you link one of these dictionaries which states that Chinese characters are called kanji? I’d like to show some friends.

repeated bad arguments

My arguments are good ones. I know what I’m talking about.

insult an entire culture’s use of a writing system

??? Where did I do this? Could you quote the offending sentence?

you finally admit you actually have no idea what you’re talking about

??? I’m the one who knows what he’s talking about here. I’ve studied both languages. Nobody calls Chinese characters kanji. That’s a completely different set of characters. Most Chinese people can’t read them.

while asking for a favor

Here’s a review of a Chinese dictionary that touches on the points I made about Japanese.
