After an extended period of deliberation, the judge said evidence collected from Mossack Fonseca's servers had not been gathered in line with due process and dropped all criminal charges against the defendants.

"they are guilty but we shouldn't have found out so we'll let them off scot free"

Offering someone a peace deal when you know they wont take it is a chad move. Just like Hamas saying it will disarm in exchange for a prisoner swap and a lasting end to hostilities.

Guy who made the video sure sounds like a spy. "I dont really care... but here is why you should... I dont support either side... but you better support the status quo."

Who do we rent from if we can't afford to buy a house in this alternate vision of the future?

The government. Also if the 10% of homes that were empty on the night of the last census were suddenly dropped onto the market it would cause a massive drop in prices so more people could afford homes.

Wow! this is some of the stupidest shit I have heard in days. There are more citizens of the USA and UK that own property in Australia than Chinese citizens.

Your "reportedly" statement is made up bullshit and the "ghost cities" were a lie. they are now full of people. Our backwards ass government can't conceive of infrastructure until a decade after its needed and then they get bent over the barrel with budget blowouts that cost the taxpayers double the original stated costs. Meanwhile China spent a bunch of money during the financial crisis when materials and labor were cheap to build infrastructure and you act like it is a bad thing.

Reddit isn't worth remembering a 8 character password these days.

they should also keep a list of users personal info and send it to the Party after the revolution so they can be sent to reeducation promptly.

Whats a beehaw?

We’re obviously discussing common usage.

Saying something is obvious doesn't make it true. The only noun you use in your first comment is "Democrats" so how is this not a discussion about politics? I am having a discussion about politics and I'm going to do my best to use political terminology in its established scientific meaning not a niche dialect that you believe is "common use."

The world is much bigger than the USA. Americans only make up 15% of the English speaking world. What you call "common use" is just "ignorant and wrong" to the rest of us.

In America, “liberal” means “left wing”.

No it doesn't. Widespread ignorance does not change objective reality. This sort of thinking is Hyperliberalism. Just because most Americans are politically illiterate doesn't mean the definition is changed. 40% Americans also believe the entire universe is only 6000 years old.

If you ask an american political scientist to define "liberal" they will tell you the "international" definition. If you allow technical and scientific terms to be subjected to "language just evolves" you end up with a Tower of Babble type situation where different groups of people are unable to communicate with one another despite using the same language and society collapses.

Democrats are liberals. Republicans are too. Both of them are reactionary.

"conservatives" are just a subtype of liberal. The "Liberal" in "Liberal Media" simply means that it is private property run for profit of individuals and not State owned media run in the interests of the nation.
