It's possible the police forces are a body of people who have a strong us-vs-them culture. On the one hand it probably helps them execute their sometimes dangerous job, on the other hand it bleeds into symptoms like the blue wall of silence.
Good point, the police already have avenues to tell their side (the news) and this resource provides the rest of the story. Like all pieces of information, it's good to understand the biases at play before accepting anything as fact.
I knew vim was old, but had no idea the lineage traced back 50 years. Vim has always felt like an exoskeleton suit compared to the spaceship dashboard of full-fledged IDEs. You can also add plugins to gain most of the functionality of an IDE.
It does have a blood price, some days I spend just as much time hacking on my vimrc/plugins as the actual code I opened vim for.
20c being habitable seems like a stretch to me, and my Google Fu only turned up mentions of Antarctica hitting 20c. Have any references for that number? Most reports I've read say a +2c will cause significant problems globally.
The pointer to the source of this claim is useful and informative.
The bigger the claim the bigger the scrutiny should be.
Whether true or not, Zenz's claim seems to be bought without question because it is useful for the current narrative against China, and this is not healthy. In fact it is counterproductive.
You're right, it is fascinating. I looked through the edit history and it seems like there's an ongoing effort to remove the references to his other beliefs. Among the referenced articles which have been scrubbed from his wiki:
> For decades, China had one of the most extensive systems of minority entitlements in the world, with Uighurs and others getting more points on college entrance exams, hiring quotas for government posts and laxer birth control restrictions. Under China’s now-abandoned ‘one child’ policy, the authorities had long encouraged, often forced, contraceptives, sterilization and abortion on Han Chinese. But minorities were allowed two children — three if they came from the countryside.

> This is what evil looks like?
The parent comment implied it was evil to mistreat minorities - absolutely true. But in the article that was linked it mentions that they were treated better than the majority, and were now reduced to the same (horrible) treatment of the majority.
This is an altogether different crime due to mistakes in policy that lead to overpopulation. Would the Nazi Germans ever have let Jewish people have fewer restrictions and easier access to government positions? No. The comparison as presented here is untenable.
