At least they get a trial… In the US “officer involved deaths” are the preferred method of state execution.

The best estimates I’m seeing are from https://worldcoalition.org/pays/china/. They are almost certainly inflated, but the last official count was back in 2009 by amnesty international which counted 1718 instances. (Compared to world coalition’s estimate of 8000 for the same year.) that puts the per capita death rate at ~1-3 per million. Police/extrajudicial killings in China are almost unheard of.

Police killings alone (which it should be noted are also statistics which are also not publicly available) were estimated to be ~1300 last year putting the lower bound per capita death rate at 4 per million. Capital punishment in the US is about as unheard of as extrajudicial killings.

Comparing “apples to apples” the US kills ~400% more of its citizens annually, but neither government is overly transparent about it.

Do you want to share those “eyebrow raising” numbers?

Best summary I can find stating the elections were “rigged” is the report from the Carter center which uses almost entirely qualitative data or hearsay arguments to support the claim and conveniently forgets to mention any of the surrounding context around US interventionism.

In contrast the argument for fair and open elections is well summarized in the report from the NLG delegation’s report which does a good job of providing quantitative data as well as useful context to support the conclusion it was fair.

Can you provide those quantitave arguments from these “third party left-wing governments”? Because I am having a hard time finding any of them…

Is the concern how you’re perceived socially or how you perceive yourself?

What would it take for you to be “trans enough”? Shaving? Clothes? Hormones? Surgery? Gene therapy?

Would you be this gatekeep-y to a random stranger? If not, why gatekeep yourself?

Is it fear of rejection? Of not being accepted for presenting as your authentic self?

Does the label not communicate what you want to express, or does the label have connotations that don’t align with your sense of self? Are those connotations commonly held, or are they negative stereotypes that you’re unconsciously distancing yourself from?

Do you need a positive label to communicate who you are, or does a negative label suffice (IE. “trans” vs. “not cis”)? Are labels a useful tool for you to describe yourself to others, or do you feel the need to conform to the label?

“Why don’t you want to compromise with the leopards? They don’t want to kill you, just let them lick your nose a bit. That would be cute, right!?”

Another important facet to that scam that isn’t been discussed too much: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1809859768388854139.html

I think you misunderstand that I’m talking exclusively about electoralism. It can be a useful tool, but it’s largely a scam.

I fully understand your concerns. But this is the reality and I know it sucks.

Can you please not just roll over and die. I’m begging for you to put up an ounce of resistance now before you need to put up a gallon later.

“THERE IS NO THIRD OPTION” because you accept the options that you are given and try to convince others that they are acceptable options. They are not, stop deluding yourself.

People are “just going to fold over” because you keep telling them to! Stop doing the fascist’s work, there are always other options but the fewer people who understand that means that more force per person is required to apply the needed pressure to make those options a reality.

You’re arguing from the premise that fascism is the only option and anything else is “fantasy”. Is that what you really believe?

I was promised riots and unrest when Roe V Wade was overturned and there was crickets instead. What are you going to do in November after the democrats get Trump elected? Do before to prevent that current inevitability?

What would you rather have?

A non-fascist option. Abortion access, housing, not the world’s highest incarceration rate (which Jim Crow Joe is directly, but not solely, responsible for.) etc.

You’re arguing from a false premise.

The “humane” thing would be to make any and all rent seeking behavior very explicitly illegal, but that’s unlikely to happen.
