OK...

I guess in the forum world being deleted is the equivalent of killing...

Therefore you threatened digital violence.

I stand corrected. :ugeek:

“Banning” would be execution.
“Inactivating” for a short period would be incarceration.
Neither are voluntary which makes them “violence.”

How many people here would do evictions? I’m guessing I’m the only one.

I once bought a rental at half price because the owner couldn’t get the tenant to leave after spending thousands for attorney fees. I “evicted” him in 10 days.

Republic does not mean democracy, Penner. China's been a republic since the last emperor was deposed. Which was even before the Communists came to power.
Fame is not flattery. Respect is not agreement.

That is beside the point in my opinion because the point that I was trying to make was that the idea that bringing capitalism would've changed China from the inside out (in such a way like making China an open society).

The Chinese engage in "capitalism" like the Muslims engage in taqiyya.

The whole thing is a government-run potemkin village. Always was. All the billionaire so-called businessmen are leaders in the communist party. It's not what you guys imagine if all you do is listen to cable news.

Some people did but I didn't imagine it. Hell, I am saying that idea backfired with Xi's announcement.
