although collectivised activities often are hugely problematic, you cannot dismiss them altogether. political theory arose out of ordinary political activities that form a part of the human lifeform, and when you dismiss something like collective action categorically, there is no replacement for that vacuum. people simply do not know any other way of behaving, and designing a new form of society from the ground is anything but easy. would do well to highlight the economic decisions made by the chinese government, pretty much a continuation of regionalism and systematic exploitation of the peasantry and lower working class. | ||

While in Beijing, the constant exposure to the dizzyingly hot summer resulted in heatstroke for some students, particularly during one rain-drenched rehearsal that stretched on for two days and two nights. The students were kept on their feet for most of the 51-hour rehearsal with little food and rest and no shelter from the night's downpour, as the show's directors attempted to coordinate the 2,008-member performance with multimedia effects, students and their head coach told the AP. "We had only two meals for the entire time. There was almost no time to sleep, even less time for toilet breaks," Welllllll crap on human rights than! wooooooweeeee! It's not too often you see athletes here working for two days with two meal breaks, or running around with diapers on, huh? | ||

Nations with conscription - South Korea, Israel, the United States at various times in the past - put their citizens through far worse in the name of national service. Unpleasant? Yes. Human rights abuse? I'd hesitate. | ||

If you like the way you live, then great. Go live it. Don't try to act superior to others and drum up some kind of anti-Sino sentiment with your bs arguments. There are pros and cons to both the USA and China. Both are world powers. China has had barely 40 years to develop. The USA has had at least 100. I don't even need to get into what kinds of external challenges CHina has faced compared to the USA either. Does China do everything right? No. Is it right to say unions are just pesky things that keep people from becoming great? No. Unions obviously have their good points, and securing proper work conditions for employees is critical for a prosperous and healthy society. But when it comes to the performing arts and taking things to new heights? Yes. There's a certain amount of dedication and sacrifice that every performer needs to make. Is that level of dedication somewhat muted by US labor laws? Yes, they most definitely are. There's always more than one side to everything. Stop trying to talk about the philosophy like there's a definite black and white. It's juvenile and petty. The performers choose to be there. They consider it an honor to be there. I highly doubt that the performers didn't have a choice in participating. I don't think any of them were forced into the show. So, in light of that, this is by their own choice. It's not the act of some tyrannical gov't that doesn't give their citizens human rights. Just stfu already with that crappy angle fed by the US propaganda machine. You ever seen what living conditions are like for Navy SEALS? I bet that breaks more than a few labor laws and human rights doesn't it? Oh but wait, they're volunteers. And it's the military! So that makes it OK. Wait but why? Wouldn't military training be the epitome of governmental policy? Isn't that one of the areas where gov'ts have the greatest say-so in how matters should be conducted? So why should that one be exempt from all this talk you're putting up about human rights? And honestly, as if the West should talk about human rights. Last I checked, the only country in the world to obliterate an entire civilian population with nuclear weapons, not once but twice, was the US of A. I'm not even going to bother getting into the rampant abuses of the Colonial/Imperialist era of W. Europe. They massacred entire continents. But I guess now that they've had hundreds of years to grow fat and prosperous off the plundered wealth of entire civilizations, they feel superior enough to dictate to others how they should govern their countries. Yeah, I don't smell any hypocrisy there. Nope, just a big heart for all the people of the world. That's exactly what the West is. A beacon of moral fortitude. | ||

In times past citizens were just the people who fed or became soldiers which allowed you to claim territory. Now, citizens are the primary concerns and their safety and health is seemingly so important that the rights of other people may be readily violated just to preserve the health of citizens. It doesn't make sense... unless you really buy into the bullshit that governments actually do represent what the common man wants. It's quite simple. It's been proven that economic output is greater when you have citizens that are highly educated, in a hygienic and stable environment, with a large degree of intellectual/political freedom, and an economy with low barriers to entry. It's money. It's always been money. And it always will be money. They do it because it's better. | ||

This is exactly the nationalism that I'm questioning. Whenever there's a story about any other part of the world, including the 50,000 stories on the US, we jump on it and criticize them. Post a story about Russia or China and suddenly the motherland sends out an SOS for every forum troll on the planet to start crying. What I also find hilarious is that you're trying to condemn me for the things the government done, when it has no connection to my morality and especially when I've made multiple posts on this website criticizing the humanitarian record of the US. Patriotism in the Western world includes constantly questioning the judgement of your leaders. Sometimes we fail, but we agree it should always be done. Why have you chosen to go immediately into defensive mode instead of addressing the actual content of the article, as the rest of us are used to doing. | ||

I'm sure they put them through 51 hours at a time, and give them 2 meals, right? An educated guess would be that this is not very uncommon for the Chinese military, judging by their ridiculous standards and egotistical way of thinking. | ||

Why would pro gamers train 16+ hours a day? Practicing an average of 16 hours a day for a 10 year old computer game isn't worth blogging about, but doing it for a truly worldwide performance is? I've long ago accepted that there are some seriously dedicated people out there that are to me indistinguishable from simply crazy in their level of commitment. These guys aren't dying to do what they want to do - they're not even close to the front of the line. | ||
