That GFC study contradicts the many studies using both older datasets and newer datasets:

In science, we call this "cherrypicking data." Colloquially, we understand this to be because someone fucked their experimental validation. In the real world, we call this "disseminating misinformation."

global-scale data cannot reasonably represent changes in the regional land cover. Moreover, different studies may have different accuracies within the same region and even may reach opposite conclusions

The unofficial consensus between the KMT/PRC was that Taiwan and China are one country. The NED-funded DPP has been trying to break that status quo, though.

Thing is, Canada has been looking inward. That's what makes it worse.

It's so absolutely insane how Canada is happy to tout reconciliation with First Nations people and simultaneously support the genocide of an indigenous people.

The videos are there for you to view and the statements are there for you to read.

You can agree or disagree with the conclusions, but the videos and statements are there.

Those children? Hamas

Everything the IDF touches becomes Hamas

If the US and Israel are completely aligned in foreign policy, what keeps Israel from just becoming treated as another state of the US?

Israel's clamped down on more legitimate sources and is even trying to kick of Al Jazeera (which has consistently led in terms of accuracy in journalism).

American news isn't a good source for unbiased news either, but people still post it.

Imagine having to serve in the military to be able to afford college.

America is fucked.

Israel has mapped out Gaza to pinpoint precision. They know where everything is and they know exactly how to maximize civilian casualties.

Killing journalists, truly a sign of a healthy democracy
