Likely because it would be very strange for the CPC to provide office space for a CIA front.

Reading comprehension is also in a bad spot. That sentence is not telling anyone not to vote. It’s saying that even if you vote for the lesser evil, the country is still falling apart.

Look, if I was part of some sinister influence operation, why would I pick the instance that makes libs like you (the people I’d likely want to influence in that case) freak out as soon as they see it? You’re not making any sense, not everything is about the US, the rest of the world is rejoicing at the great satan finally getting its comeuppance.

afaik, those numbers just don’t tell you a whole lot about the actual power of the motor. A “250W motor” could produce peak power output of 1kW during short bursts, as long as the average power over a longer time is at or below 250W, they’re fully legal.

Being prone to conspiratorial thinking and at the same time being a victim of the US education system and lacking critical thinking skills is a pretty macabre combination.

But sure, anyone who disagrees with you is a bot, or a paid shill!

Libs really think they can vote themselves out of capitalism and the climate crisis, how sad is that?

Ah yes, I’m sure the command came straight from the CPC, not business people that benefit from the private company making bigger profits. Perfectly logical, so of course the article doesn’t provide any proof, I mean who would need that?

Not really, a 250W (average, not peak!) motor can exceed 25km/h easily on flat ground, the only difference to a stronger motor would be the acceleration.

Disabling the electronic limit is the issue.

It’s so easy to hide a little switch to toggle “bike legal mode” on many models, in my experience that doesn’t really stop people, sadly.

Small businesses are very often forced to compete with bigger players by exploiting their workers more and make higher margins on the same product/service. That’s just how a capitalist ownership structure works out.

I guess it’s the deathrattle of the petit-bourgeois that’s spinning up these romanticized stories about themselves because they don’t want to accept their class is being dissolved and most of them are forced into the possessionless existence of being a worker.

Google SafetyNet checks, probably.

Well, you read wrong. Fructose is a very short chain sugar and is absorbed into the bloodstream a lot faster than “regular” sugar, making it more unhealthy.

I’d say it’s an affront to humanity in both cases

The Ukrainian army is using them as well.

“Denazification” after WW2 was a farce. Only the Soviet-occupied territories actually purged Nazi officials (even they let some slip through or even get new roles), but the other Allied forces basically just got a bunch of Nazis to tone down that Nazi stuff and pretend to be liberal democrats.

How was I being bad faith? I presented numerous arguments as to why what the other person was saying was completely nonsensical, and my annoyed tone changes nothing about that fact. Notice how they adressed none of them, and both of you just focus on your poor little hurt feelings because someone on the internet spoke to you in an unsanitized tone. It’s almost like you’re distracting from how wrong your positions are on purpose.

You don’t even know what you’re talking about, conflating apples and oranges. The Baltic independence movements aren’t referred to as color revolutions, those happened in the 2000s in Yugoslavia, Georgia, Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan.

And of course, something cannot be the result of foreign involvement, awful racial-nationalist thought that has plagued the Baltics for ages (and still does), and malevolent capital interests if lots of people are holding hands, that much is clear.

Holy liberal brainrot. Did you just seriously link the wikipedia article for “color revolutions”, a series of CIA-backed counterrevolutionary and deeply reactionary insurgencies, as a list for successful non-violent ‘revolutions’?

All of those color revolutions had massive detrimental effects on the population, skyrocketing inequality, destroying decades of progress in women’s liberation (the ex-Yugo regions for example still aren’t close to catching back up), and destroying education systems and economies, forcing them to sell out to international capital.

So how exactly did they produce “better institutional outcomes” than actual Socialist revolutions? Easier to exploit on the world market? Better startup culture? Lmao

It’s not really similar to methamphetamine.

Well said, comrade! Even if I don’t think it’ll help this person understand…

Literally the first sentence of your wikipedia article explains that these are different ideologies trying to achieve the same thing, a communist society.
