Wait... Seriously?

THIS gets a sticky buy not Joe Simon's death? Seriously?

>>32375468
China is trying to suppress access to something? I'm surprised they pulled it on Bale, but it's nothing new for them.

>>32375555

Seconded.

I mean...we already know Bale is nucking futs.

LOL China.

Posting Gootecks in a sticky

>>32375468


Hahahah, that's some crazy shit.

whoa man

Bale is no Batman.

Could it be a publicity stunt?

Also the officers might not have recognized him.

And Bale reminds us why he love/hate him.

he's so dreamy

>>32375468
Do you think actors who play superheroes secretly want to be one? I mean, if there was Powered Armor available to the public, do you think Robert Downey Jr would start acting like Tony?

Goddamit mods, Joe Simon is dead. That's actualy important.

He really is Batman

>>32375562
It's a communist country, so yeah.

>>32375637
he'd have a functioning iron man suit before any of us even knew the tech existed

The Nolan.

sure is publicity stunts in here

>>32375637
>Robert Downey Jr would start acting like Tony

He already does this. He's the Tony Stark of Earth Prime.

>>32375637
He already basically acts like a combination his role as Sherlock Holmes and Tony Stark.

>>32375562
China isn't trying to supress shit.
They really, really, really, really want this movie made, since it's a movie about all the horrible shit that happened to them during ww2, something western audiences never get to see.
They accosted Bale and his team because he visited a man the Chinese deem... well, a criminal. (Despite us thinking of him as a hero)

>The physical scuffle eventually turned to a high-speed car chase, where Bale and the crew were chased down country roads for nearly 40 minutes that ended with a broken car and damaged camera.
Gotta admit, didn't see that coming

Also this >>32375555

Wait, this isn't a joke?

comics are for manboys

i only watch the movies

Holy crap. This is awesome.

>>32375637
I think Bale carries around with him a utility belt. I think EVERYBODY should carry a utility belt at all times just in case.

>Christian Bale
>referred to as "Batman himself"

Stopped reading there. He has played Batman in two movies (and is shooting a third). He is not actually Batman. Moreover he's like sixth or seventh on most peoples' "Best Batman" lists.

>>32375732
Yes, but he's a civil rights activist, which means that he's doing something they don't want him to do. It's like the Tiananmen Square protests that they never talk about.

>>32375893
except that he is batman, for now at least. Are you going to say that Dick Grayson was never batman?

>At first, I was somewhat hesitant to do the role [Batman Begins (2005)]. I mean, after all, Batman is an icon. But I remember, as clear as day, being at the grocery store the day the movie opened, and this little boy saw me. He couldn't have been more than five years old. He just walked right up to me and hugged me. He hugged me, and I was so moved by it that I hugged him back. Then he looked up at me and said, "You're my hero." And in that moment, I knew that not only as an actor that I had done my job, but that I had made the right decision to play Batman. And I've never looked back on my the decision to play Batman since.
christian bale, why you so great?
ITT: Bale is a cool dude thread?

>>32375893
Why is /co/ so goddamn butthurt about Nolan's movies being so popular anyway?

>>32375893
>has played batman in two movies and is shooting a third
name anyone else who has played batman more than once
multiple TV episodes don't count

>>32375893
He's the best movie batman, honestly.
I mean, the voice might be a bit ridiculous, but he's the only Batman that's been even remotely possible to take seriously.

Actors can be fucked in the head. Never mess with a pissed off actor. I once saw Jack Nicholson bashing a paparazzi car with a steel bat. He was there bashing the shit out of the man's car while yelling for the man to come after him.

I remember that my dumb friend asked me should go there and ask an autograph.

We already know Bale is batshit insane. That's the reason Nolan picked him. He's a guy who you could believe actually dresses up as a bat.

Are the first two movies at least entertaining? I've never seen either.

You'd think with his connections with Ambassador Big Bird, this wouldn't be a problem

Joe Simon is dead, and he gets a little sticky with his picture and absolutely nothing the fuck else, meanwhile the shittiest incarnation of Batman runs from some fucking Chinese police and it gets top priority and fully story attachment?
Fuck you guys.

Alo, lolBale

>>32376039
Stop defending a sticky that isn't even fucking /co/ related.
That would be like stickying a thread about people seeing Jack Nicholson getting sucked off by a 14-year-old boy because he happened to be the Joker a few years ago.
And then trying to defend the sticky by posting a 20 second video of him playing the Joker as an afterthought.
You can suck the hardest part of my dick.

>people mad about Nolan Batman movies

Be honest with yourself, can you really say the movies are poorly written and acted? Honestly, the only reason most people hate the movies is because
a) theyre REALLY popular
b) we didnt get 90s Joker
No, TDK Joker was not the best joker, but dont act like he was shit just because a lot of people liked him

Obligatory:

So what's with all the Comic people dying lately?

>>32376134
He wasn't the best, no.
That'd be Hamil.
But he is for damn sure number 2.

>>32376134
TDK joker was the best joker. You're just as bad as the people you despise.

>make a movie about the cruelty and brutality of your neighbor to the east
>get buttharmed and coloncollided when someone tries to expose the cruelty and brutality of your own country

Never change, China, never change.

>>32376134
I don't say he's a shit Joker because he's popular. I say he's a shit Joker because Azzarello is a shit writer and wrote a shit grimdark version of a character and then it was swiped for a mediocre, blown out of proportion movie because some shit gay rights activist actor killed himself. That movie could've been fucking anything and it would've been huge because it was that faggot's last performance.

>>32375958
Because Nolan is obsessed with realism in his movies about a guy in an animal costume punching bad guys, and yet he doesn't seem to realize that he took this ridiculous comic book superhero and gave him the ability to fly and a tank that gives birth to a motorcycle.

>>32375637
>>32375637
>>32375637

Make RDJ as smart as Tony Stark, and I think he'd more than consider it.

>>32376182
Because i dont think he was the best im a shithead? Nice logic

>>32376161
Old people die, it's unfortunate. All we can do is remember their great contributions. Captain America and The Joker are awesome. Thank you, Joe Simon and Jerry Robinson.

He's a poor man's Hamil.
He gets no position due to being a ripoff.

Okay.

Really?

He sounds nothing like Hamill, and has different mannerisms.
Don't be an idiot.

>>32376347
now now DiMaggio did his service, and i liked how UtRH joker was more vicious than Hamil's Joker

I never ceases to amuse how /co/ is the only place where these movies get so much hate

>>32376399
He acts differently because it's another series.
But you can fucking hear how much Dimaggio is trying to copy Hamil's performance.

BATMAN/ JACKIE CHAN TEAM UP

>>32376593
Oh god, and Jackie chan doesn't want a fight!
It'll be a slaughter!

Considering everything, I personally hope this Chinese movie is pirated all to hell, reviled, and some dramatic scene subtitled over horribly for the sake of as many laughs as possible.

I may even enjoy the movie and learn something, but seriously, fuck China.

>>32376635
>>32376593
Jackie is a card-carrying party supporter. He is an enemy of humanity.

It was a pretty boring ass chase

Saw the footage on CNN earlier

>>32376640
It's a movie about the horrible things Chinese people were put through in the second world war, including the Japanese kidnapping their daughters to be used as sex slaves for the Japanese army (Not even slightly kidding)

China might be bad now, but the Japanese are so much worse.

China should've realized you can't simply chase the Batman

>>32376720
The International Military Tribunal for the Far East estimated that 20,000 women were raped, including infants and the elderly.[38] A large portion of these rapes were systematized in a process where soldiers would search door-to-door for young girls, with many women taken captive and gang raped.[39] The women were often killed immediately after the rape, often through explicit mutilation[40] or by stabbing a bayonet, long stick of bamboo,[41] or other objects into the vagina. Young children were not exempt from these atrocities, and were cut open to allow Japanese soldiers to rape them.

There are also accounts of Japanese troops forcing families to commit acts of incest.[46] Sons were forced to rape their mothers, fathers were forced to rape daughters. One pregnant woman who was gang-raped by Japanese soldiers gave birth only a few hours later; although the baby appeared to be physically unharmed (Robert B. Edgerton, Warriors of the Rising Sun). Monks who had declared a life of celibacy were also forced to rape women.

>mfw this was all a distraction so that RDJ could fly in with his makeshift power armor and save Chen from a lifetime of state torment

Think about it... they would never admit that they lost him, would they? After all is said and done, Iron Man and Batman have a dance party with Spider-Man and Venom. Yes, THAT dance party.

>>32376783
Yeah, things were pretty fucked up, but seriously China has a lot to answer for, and they get mad over the most retarded shit. There was one movie I saw called Nanking-Nanking, this movie was as brutals as Schindler's list, people are rapped on screen and a three year old is tossed from a four story window. All of this is done by Japanese soldiers for no good reason but shits and giggles. And you know what, China still had the movie nearly banned, why, because there is one Japanese soldier, mind you this was a real person, who took pity on the Chinese people in Nanking and would occasionally do humane things for them, staying the execution of a child, giving a mercy kill to a woman who was going to be raped.

China still thought that, despite the various atrocities showcased by the film, it was still too kind to the Japanese for one character, who was an actual person and deserved to let his story be heard.

>>32377011
well, you cant blame them

Nazis thought about jews as subhumans
Japs thought about Chinese as insects

>>32376783
And Mao killed 70 million of his own countrymen through purges and famines where people were forced to resort to cannibalism.

You seriously can't say with a straight face that the Japs were worse.

>>32377132
Mao was trying to help his country, which resulted in death.

The Japanese were out to commit genocide.

There's a difference. One was carried out in malice, the other with good intentions.
If you can't see the difference, then you're clearly retarded.

>>32375732
>They accosted Bale and his team because he visited a man the Chinese deem... well, a criminal. (Despite us thinking of him as a hero)

Only because he had the guts to reveal that China really was forcing sterilization and abortions on people to maintain the one-child policy in the cities. Of course that doesn't justify why HIS YOUNG DAUGHTER is also under house arrest.

>>32377132

I dunno, man. Once you factor in Unit 731...

>>32377215
Yeah really, who can't tell the good genocides from the bad? Idiots.

>>32377215
2/10, for a second I thought someone could actually believe that Mao's "Great Leap Forward" was actually for the benefit of the people and not a large-scale grab for power.

Man, you must have loved the outcome of Stalin's 5 & 10-year plans, eh? Point being, Japan was horrible and evil decades ago, and is still horribly racist but otherwise pretty good about not horribly abusing or mistreating their citizens. China currently is not. Fuck. China.

>>32377215
Bullshit.

Mao wasn't trying to help anyone, but himself to remain in power. The purges of intellectuals, of dissenting communist party members (ex. liu shaoqi), they were to silence his critic The Great Famine was a result of him centralizing his power in Beijing.

DAMN CHINESE POLICE FORCE, you guys are dumb.

trying to suppress a celebrities access to someone is asking for a media shit fest. also its christian mother fucking bale, right after filming batman, this isn't machinist christian bale, that you can push around. this is christian batman, he is fucking ripped and probably has some experience kicking ass wholesale, because you don't spend years staring in films without picking up a few things.

seriously if anyone in real life was ever going to be batman, I think it would be someone like bale. those actors are always ripped, they have incredible amounts of money. and if they disappear for a while they can come up with a viable excuse like that. and if they did their own stunts and fight scenes they already know how to beat you up.

I know who Christian Bale is.

I had to google Joe Simon to find out he hasn't actually been relevant for four decades.

>>32377279
Genocide impies intent. The Great Leap Forward was not a genocide because the mass deaths resulting from it were wholly unintentional and entirely due to neglect.

The difference between Japan and China is like the difference between a person convicted of 100 murders and a person convicted of 1000 manslaughters.

>>32377388
Intent doesn't mean much to the dead.

>>32377380
Those security guards were lucky that it was batman bale and not american psycho bale or equilibrium bale

a real human being and a real hero

>>32377380
The Australian ambassador to China thought the same thing. They were making such a hissyfit over some Uighur film premiering in Australia that it attracted so much attention that the producers had to rent a bigger theatre.

>>32377472
I think it does.
If I died after someone raped me and set me on fire afterwards, I'd be pretty pissed and would definitely want someone to avenge my death.

If I died due to famine from incompetent leadership, I'd be pretty pissed, but I can't say that I'd wish for anyone to be punished for it.

>>32377604
>If I died... I'd be pretty pissed

No, you'd be DEAD.

>>32377604

Are you kidding? I'd be just as angry.

>>32377627
Yes, but that would be what I felt before, as I was dying.

>>32377604
Much of the starvation in the rural areas was due to his refusal to open up the grain storehouses. It was a man made disaster. It was not incompetence. So most of the deaths were indeed on his hands.

>>32377215
>The Japanese were out to commit genocide.
Bullshit. The Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere was a noble attempt to free the Orient from European and American control. The Japanese built universities and struck down corruption wherever they went. What did your government do for China, smuggle opium?

>>32377705
Also, he was exchanging grain for soviet weapons.

>>32377829
Yes, so his people and country could protect themselves after witnessing with his own eyes their treatment during the European occupation and subsequent Japanese invasion of China.

Honestly, a logical decision.

And the Japanese only wanted to protect E. Asia from evil Western influence and to promote self-determination. Those who died only opposed their noble goal in the most ignominious ways. I guess Tojo and Hirohito were swell guys too just like Mao.

>>32377824
shit you better be trolling.

It is almost like saying Japan attacked Pearl Harbor to free Hawaiian natives from brutal US control.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but some people seem to be conflating the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution together. The latter were the purges.

>>32378072

Educate yourself, fool.

http://www.apa.co.jp/book_report/images/2008jyusyou_saiyuusyu_english.pdf

The Japs during WWII were shit.
Mao was shit.
Current Chinese government is still shitty and needs new blood, crack down on corruption, or at least better PR managers. Keep on pressing down on a volcano will only make it explode. The current CCP learned nothing from the FAIL emperors' of old.

>>32377604

>Implying Mao didn't intentionally and systematically eradicate any "subversive intellectuals". IE people that read dirty western books.

>LOL GENOCIDE IS OKAY AS LONG AS YOU DO IT WITH A SONG IN YOUR HEART

>Also, you wouldn't be mad at the government if you starved because they took your food away. WAKE UP AUTIST.

Go suck some dead Mao cock.

>>32378055
Of course, the problem never lies with great leaders, but those who serve under them. The common man is scum.

Have you read any of Hitler's writings, he honestly was looking out for the German people. Corruption and genocide came not from him, but those who served under him.

>>32378210

You're right, Hitler never intended for genocide, thanks for clearing that up!

/co/mrades, I thought /co/ was love?

It is late, let us go to sleep, lest we spew more shit in a sticky.

>>32377119

At least there can be and are movies about Nazi people who felt bad about shit

Bale is a good enough Batman, but he's a great Bruce Wayne.

>>32378237
Jews did the Holocaust

>>32378304
Same with the Japanese. Same with any other common man living in horrible times.

You get sucked in by the ambitions of men who are running your country into the ground, and have to risk your life and taint your soul to not stand out from the crowd.

Yet we keep on doing the biddings of our herders, against our better conscience.

>wait for nuclear war any year now

>>32378171
The CCP is a new imperial dynasty that is the bastard child of stalinism and chinese legalism. Of course they have adopted Western customs and now choose Emperors in a system closer to the adoptions of the Roman Antonine Emperors.

>>32378304
The thing is very few Japanese actually felt bad about what they did or did anything to help.
In fact, the stories of heroism came mostly from heroism of White people who were doing business in China and decided to the save the lives of Chinamen, because they were disgusted by the actions of the Japanese, not from Japanese soldiers or Chinese soldiers.

>>32378643
The enemy? Seriously World War II ending more than 66 years ago.

>>32378665
what do you expect from an extremely xenophobic island people who can't even imagine other people from other places are even remotely human? They have a celebrity serial killer who makes television rounds talking about how he cannibalized a blonde dutch woman and how she tasted. He has fans who love him. After all, all a non-Japanese person is is an animal to them.

Alright, time to leave 4chan. 10/10, mad as fuck would rage again.

If Christian Bail gets captured then he doesn't deserve to be Batman anyway.

>>32379000
It's all an elaborate ruse to get to someone in the prison.

Obviously.

I am actually looking forward to this chinese movie.

And about the Nolan movies: I liked them. Very entertaining and well directed, if you read the comics and shit.

But i don't get the hate. Batman got written in thouand different ways since he first appeared. Same with the Joker. Nolan is doing his own version, just as other writers and directors before him. I just don't understand why you would say he is taking a shit on the series, after you all read so many shitty stories about him.

It's not like this is another Batman & Robin with CHILLAXENEGGER.

>>32378643
Does this story continue or what?

Asians are scum
But so is everyone else

>>32379299

>Mao Hording Food
>implying it wasn't because the local goverment vastly overreported and did all sorts of tricks when auditors came to check up on their claim

During that era people still believed in the socialist miracle.

Also
>Implying Mao wasn't firmly in control after the Revoultion.

It was his stupid policy that got people killed. Not the fact that he set out to kill people. Hell most of the Intellectuals weren't killed, the were put into communes where they had to work as a peasant farming and tilling land. Many killed themselves, others starved to death with many other peasants.

The disastrous policies of the Great Leap forward kept Mao out of power for a decade and put Deng Xiao Ping and Lin Biao into power.

The Cultural Revoultion was encouraged by Mao and his wife along with their powerbase but it was a student movement dominated by people in their 20's. It's basically China's Occupy or Tea Party movement but vastly more violent.

>>32377824

>Bullshit. The Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere was a noble attempt to free the Orient from European and American control. The Japanese built universities and struck down corruption wherever they went. What did your government do for China, smuggle opium?

Huh, didn't know the Japanese had their own form of Holocaust denial.

>>32380201

They don't teach much about WWII in Japanese schools.

self important prick.

>>32379848
Eh, they did quite some damage here. At first they came and told us we're their 'old brothers', but soon enough they shown their true face. Forced work camps, forced marriage, etc.
So the resistance/independence movement, which had been resisting against the Dutch colonial rule before, turned their attention toward the Japanese.
Maybe, compared to the other nations, Indonesia wasn't as fucked. Maybe because Imperial Japan is too busy fucking the other nations.
In any case, we managed to kick their ass out. And then the Dutch-backed allied forces which tried to re-establish the colony.

>>32380285

Fuck yeah Indonesia!

They kind of bumfucked us, then got guerilla'd by the communist paramilitary groups for most of the occupation, then suddenly America came back.

And then they blew up the capital. I will postulate that was probably the most retarded America did liberation-wise in the 40's.

>"What I really wanted to do was to meet the man, shake his hand and say what an inspiration he is,"

Yes and i'm sure he gives a fuck what you want. Go back to making movies shithead.

Wooo! ASEAN brofist!

>>32380543

ASEAN brofist, my Indonesian fellow

... don't you usually hang out on /tg/ though.

Anyway, yeah, Japan did turrible things during the war - and using the excuse that Toshio did (AMERICA TRICKED US INTO GOING INTO WAR) is quite silly.

>>32380543
>>32380706
What ever happened to the Philippines?

>>32380201

For the most part, Japan kind of pretends the atrocities in WW2 didn't happen. It has a lot to do with the way the Allies treated Japan after the war, where they intentionally absolved the Emperor of any wrongdoing and just blamed his generals for everything. They did this because they knew that the best way of keeping the Japanese people nice and civil was to keep the Emperor in place. It had the unfortunate side effect of absolving most of the populace, so they ended up with a sense of "naw, we didn't do anything wrong."

>>32380739

They stopped mattering.

>>32380739

What happened to China, except on a much smaller scale.

The biggest flak Japan gets from most Filipinos is for the Death March, but that was more of a hideous logistical error on the part of Japanese forces regarding how many prisoners they would have to transport from the island fortress of Bataan, rather than an outright atrocity.

Also they didn't take the communist guerrillas very well, and reportedly avenged themselves heavily on communities suspected of harboring the rebels... pretty much like American and Philippine forces from the 60's onwards. Albeit, with more rape than the latter two.

The Goddamned Batman

The authorities became enraged and attacked when Bale demanded they 'Check 'em.'

>>32380851
No, I mean this is literally the first time I've seen the Philippines mentioned in a long time.


The last time I can remember ever reading about the Philippines was a history class 3-4 years back, and that was only our conquest in the Spanish-American War and the subsequent fights with the Filipinos.

So this gets stickied but the SOPA doesn't huh?


Good Job MOD.

>>32377215

>Mao was trying to help his country

Good one.

>>32380925

Oh, yeah, what the other guys said. We stopped mattering.

If you're American, it might be interesting for you to know that your marines conduct "training exercises" (read: shooting at Muslim insurgents) with ours in the far South of the Philippines. Also, you guys had a war hero assassinated by communist rebels here back in the 90's, not five hundred meters from where I type this.

>>32380984

That should read

>a war hero of yours was assassinated

Because the way I originally typed it, it sounds like the US government was behind the assassination.

why did they stop batman from meeting chinese daredevil.

>Unit 731

>>32380984
>>32381006
Are you guys free from the US officially or unofficially? I never took part 2 of that American history class, so lol.

>>32381060

Official since post WWII. The last American bases here meanwhile were removed in the 90's.

>>32379841
>Not the fact that he set out to kill people.

He refused to allow peasants access to the grain storehouses controlled by the government even when people were outright starving and EATING EACH OTHER to survive. And he knew about it. T

>Lin Biao into power.

Lin Biao was Mao's personal protege. He was his Medvedev to Mao's Putin except Lin Biao had a mind of his own.

And the Cultural Revolution was never a student dominated movement, it was just made to look like one.. It was always a weapon that Mao used against his critics. When it actually did appear that they were moving towards their own thing, he had the entire generation carted off into the countryside to prevent the possibility of them taking over. They aren't the Tea Party or the OWS, they were the Hitler Youth.

>Hell most of the Intellectuals weren't killed,

Bullshit. The intellectuals, those associated with the previous Order, those in the CCP who were his critics, they were all persecuted by the thugs/students that he used to do his dirty work. They would have been lucky to be sent off into the countryside instead of having everything including their dignity and lives taken from them.

>>32380958
>Implying he wasn't.

There's a reason why most people in America, Europe and China, including generals and anticommunists like American General Stillwell were pro Mao and Anti Chiang Kai Shek before the Great Leap Foward.

>>32381107
Nobody knew how terrible he was and he fought the Japanese. That was all that mattered.

>>32381044

What sucks is that I don't think any of them have ever faced punishment for it. The US gave them all immunity from criminal charges in exchange for the knowledge gained by their experimentation, and some of them have gone on to write books about it and collect speaker's fees. Infuriating.

>>32381215
Very heinous, but their value exceeds their evils. After all, there's no use in crying over spilled milk, right?

>>32381086
>Lin Biao was Mao's personal protege. He was his Medvedev to Mao's Putin except Lin Biao had a mind of his own.

Lin Biao was a great military general that Believed in Mao. He and Deng made economic reforms during the 60's, which the college students fucked up when they started the Cultural Revolution.

The Cultural revolution was a student movement inspired and promoted by Mao. Alot of the killings were Red Guards fighting Red Guards because they had no solid organization from the Party or Mao other than Slogans like "Be Revolutionary". Stop being an idiot, protests and student movements are not always a positive thing.

>Bullshit. The intellectuals, those associated with the previous Order, those in the CCP who were his critics, they were all persecuted by the thugs/students that he used to do his dirty work. They would have been lucky to be sent off into the countryside instead of having everything including their dignity and lives taken from them.

Yeah, he had political power and he resonated with many of the poorer peasants at the time. He also resonated with the students. They were beaten by the Guards and sent to the Countryside. Students being students things got out of hand.

>>32381357

Yeah, but they could probably just as easily charged them for war crimes AND taken their notes.

>>32381193
They saw him in Yennan and was inspired by him. They saw Chiang running the country for decades and were disgusted.

>>32382413
Why?

The reason I like the Nolan movies a little bit less than the Burton movies is that I feel like the Nolan movies are dissertations on Nietzschean philosophy instead of stylish action movies that promote ethical behavior. I also have a relative who's obsessed with them and struts around thinking he's a bigger fan of Batman than I because he sees the movies, but think the comics are for children. Pisses me off to no end.

>Typical liberal propaganda.

>The idea that “Mao was responsible for genocide” has been used as a springboard to rubbish everything that the Chinese people achieved during Mao’s rule. However, even someone like the demographer Judith Banister, one of the most prominent advocates of the “massive death toll” hypothesis has to admit the successes of the Mao era. She writes how in 1973-5 life expectancy in China was higher than in Africa, the Middle East, South Asia and many countries in Latin America 1. In 1981 she co-wrote an article where she described the People’s Republic of China as a ‘super-achiever’ in terms of mortality reduction, with life expectancy increasing by approximately 1.5 years per calendar year since the start of communist rule in 1949 2. Life expectancy increased from 35 in 1949 to 65 in the 1970s when Mao’s rule came to an end. 3

capitalism is more like a huge pile of sweaty naked men fighting each other for some prize hanging from the ceiling but everyone rips each other down from the pile before getting the prize so no one is really winning

meanwhile the people at the bottom of the pile are surrounded by sweaty pieces of flesh (if they're not already smothered/trampled to death)

>>32390790
He might have given a shit when he was younger. After all, most men were young and idealistic once.

But by that point in time, he was a selfish and senile power grabber. When the Prime Minister Zhou, who was a much more moderate leader by far, got cancer, Mao basically denied him any treatment, and watched a man who used to be his friend and comrade die.

Also don't get me started on the shitty ways he treated his former wives. One was supposedly driven insane by him.

what's with all the chinese and japanese apologists in this thread? both committed atrocities, isn't that clear?

Though to be fair.. America had its own attempts at genocide during its formation.

Not that another wrong justifies what Mao did. Why can't we point out both as major major wrongs in history. America doesn't suppress what we did anywhere near what China does to rewrite history.

I say that gives America the points for morality and does not make China look good.

> Rob Schneider is The Political Prisoner!
> Rated PG-13

>>32392453 let us just silently accept most countries have done shit and died to its people, and there is no escape from it even now no matter what country we move to.
Yes.. but there is a problem when the country denies and suppresses any talk of that shit and may continue to do such things. Japan hasn't done anything like they did in WWII since they lost and all that, but they certainly deny it and have deniers in their government who long for those good old days.

China not only denies its past atrocities, but their veil of secrecy and some stuff that had leaked out brings up questions of continued human rights violations.

>>32398065

Deng? I haven't seen a picture of him in years.

I used to really admire him. He was even a personal hero for me. I tried to learn Chinese and read up everything about Chinese culture because of him. But then Tiananmen Square happened. B-P

Twenty two years later, I now have business ties to Japan instead. I was never expecting that.

>>32398065
>implying the increase in living standards under Mao wasn't bigger than under Deng onwards

>>32398168
I'm pretty damn sure it was a lot higher under Deng. Mao completely devestated the country twice. Once During the Great Leap Forward and once during the Cultural Revolution.
Deng industrialized China far faster, and reformed the agriculture system so there weren't so damn many famines. Mao may have unified China after the Chinese Civil War, but Deng industrialized and modernized it

>>32398266

Yeah, Deng Xiaoping is the whole reason why the People's Republic of China is economically capitalist and a world economic power. That was WHY I saw Deng as my hero. But then there was Tiananmen Square. X-(

We've got Tea Partiers, the Occupy movement, the Arab Spring, the Recall Walker movement, even protestors in Russia. Someone HAS to revive the Tiananmen Square movement. It's been WAY overdue for the Chinese people to kick the Communists out!

>>32398380
For what? To make China another shithole like it was before Mao?

>There's a difference. One was carried out in malice, the other with good intentions.
>China
>Good intentions
>EVER

You're a funny guy.

>>32398380
Actually most Chinese are pretty relaxed about the whole situation. They've struck a devil's bargain with the CCP, the government will keep the standard of living going up and continually expand the economic miracle, while at the same time not be too repressive and in exchange the people won't revolt. It sounds queasy to Westerners (including myself), but consider that China was basically in a constant state of Unrest and War from the early 1800s until the end of the Chinese Civil War in 1950, and then endured both the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution. You can see why as a chinese person you might just be happy that no one is shooting at you and there is food to eat. The fact that you get to have a rising standard of living is also totally cool. You might not be free, but at least you and your family are well fed and safe.

It was fear of descending again into chaos that made Deng crush the Tianamen Square protestors. It wasn't right, but it is why he did it.

>>32398563

Sure. But as the economy improves don't they need that bargain less and less. Surely the day can come when the PRC's people are economically well off that they can shed the dictatorship like dead skin.

>>32398563
Well, I hope they're prepared for a hard landing.

Their economy is just a bubble, and it's funded by constructions of ghost towns that no one can or will live in. Look up Chinese Ghost Town or Chinese Ghost Mall. I'm dead fucking serious. It's all a lie.

>>32398640
No country in history has yet been able to mix a successful vibrant industrial economy with a dictatorship in the long run. That said there is no reason to think the end of the CCP will come any time soon.

>>32398776
Not even USA? Not trolling. I wish I was.

Why aren't we talking about the real threat to china?

>>32398882
Since you aren't trolling, I'll go ahead and ask you why you consider the US a dictatorship.
For one thing we have regular free and fair elections (the basic thing we need for a democracy). We also have a leader who is severely restricted in what he can do by an opposition party in Congress, and thus can not wield unlimited, or even close to, unlimited powers.
There are all kinds of problems with the US, but we aren't a dictatorship by any reasonable definition of the word.

>Able to complain

>>32381464

That was my first, exact thought. With the shape he's in, and the amount of training he's had for movies and shit, I guarantee Bale could take at least 3 or 4 Chinese prisoners

>>32399241
The fact that you find the government unresponsive doesn't make it a dictatorship. It just makes it a democracy where you disagree with what the government is doing.

Also there are dramatic differences between the two parties in terms of policy...

People who think the U.S. has real elections at and above the state level are ignorant. Same goes for those who think the differences between the Democrats and the Republicans are anything more than cosmetic.

So what Pfizer did was right and in the American interest?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7982236.stm

Not to get political, but China technically isn't communist. Communism is an economic system. The economic structure of China is currently capitalist, but the political structure is essentially fascist. Fascism is the cooperation of Big Business and Government, where the rights of the people are generally suppressed.

Hey China also has elections too. Low voter turnout and everything.

Same with Pfizer. Government regulations and law failed in this case. When a company's drive for profit hurts and kills, and fines are the only consequences, there is something wrong with the rules being applied.

When a Chinese mine under dodgy regulations skipped even more safety guards to make profit, killing workers in the process, and only get fined, would you say they are justified in their pursuit of revenue? Would you say the government's half blind eye isn't partially responsible?

Read up the history of lawsuits pfizer had to face, then come back and comment.

Or are Americans so used to going to another country and shitting it up to make a buck, that they find it the normal and right thing to do?

It's nice to know Americans are happy with the jew operated faux democracy but can you at least keep the faggotry in your own country? I think that's all China is asking, and really it's not asking much.

>Government is being shitty
>Must be a dictatorship

This is a civil lawsuit in motherfucking Africa.
Pfizer settled. Meaning the victims agreed to drop charges in return for compensation.
THEY wanted the settlement as much as Pfizer did, according to their lawyer.

..In Africa.

Niggah, no one's saying the US is peachy-keen.
We're saying its not a dictatorship

Your countrymen went to another country and willingly experimented on children, crippling and killing them. Afterward when a whistleblower came out with the story and got fired, your countrymen again tried their best to retrace their steps and cover up their faults.

And you are saying it is ok, let another justice system handle it. My country is not going to make our own countrymen take responsibility for murder, which they committed in another country, but plotted and tried to cover up on our own soil. It is out of our hands.

Mao was as bad or worse than Imperial Japan. But that doesn't make what he did "genocide." Something can be really really bad and not be genocide. Genocide MEANS trying to murder an entire ethnic group. Having good intentions doesn't make it okay, but it does make it a different thing, just like how manslaughter is different from murder.

>>32400463
>It is out of our hands.
Just like SOPA.

>>32400314
Read up on the local lawsuits too dear.

Also I was not the Anon arguing that America is a dictatorship. It is far from that yet. Not even China is a true dictatorship at this point.

I was merely saying there are a lot of things wrong with the country, and its citizens blind acceptance of all these doings will come back and bite us all in the ass.

>>32400463
Wow, you're fucking stupid.

The United States can't do anything about what a company does on foreign soil. Just like how we can't charge an American for murder if he killed someone in fucking Mexico.
We'll hand him over to Mexican authorities if they request it, and we find him.

You. Are. Fucking. Retarded.

The AFRICAN government was in the process of a civil lawsuit against the company until the AFRICAN victims decided to settle with the INTERNATIONAL, multi-billion dollar company.

And this is somehow supposed to show how America is under a dictatorship..?

Get bent, and think before you post.

>>32400602
The American government or citizens have no place in an African lawsuit.

>>32400651
>INTERNATIONAL
>Just like how the US doesn't run most of NATO, which is also INTERNATIONAL, right?

>can't do anything about what a company does on foreign soil
Really now? Enjoy your de-regulations even more?

>>32400651
You seem painfully aware that your country is shit. Maybe your country should die and your folk be exterminated.

>>32376003
Shut the fuck up dweeb.

So basically Americans think their governments can't do anything about American corporations committing crimes worldwide, taking advantage of patchy regulations and horrible human rights records of many other regions to make money?

>No wonder all the jobs are going overseas.

>>32400743
>Enjoy your de-regulations
Holy shit. Take a class on international relations or at least anything even partially related to the government.

No government can do shit about what someone does in another country, unless it involves their military.

Ever hear the "what if two people stand on opposite sides of the border, one in American soil shoots the other on the Canadian soil. Who prosecutes the killer?" problem?
It's a problem because governments deal with any crimes violated on their soil, but the victim wasn't actually shot in America but in another country.

>NATO
WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH AFRICAN CIVIL LAWSUITS OR THE FACT THAT SOME CORPORATIONS ARE INTERNATIONAL?!

Holy fucking shit, you are clinically retarded.

9 times out of 10, a foreign country is worse in just about any area.

I thought you all didn't want America to be a sheriff.

America's favorite excuse not to do something.

What?

Nah, just laughing at you, subhuman.

Hitler was wrong: Jews are not inferior beings, lazybones and illiterates are. And a 100% of the American population belongs to this category.

Yes, but the japs actually had a point.

Not do what? Become even better than what we are now?

Er excuse me sir, while that would be preferable, currently...

>>32401238
>NOTHING is wrong with what we are doing!
I was saying America isn't a dictatorship because a company did shit on foreign soil.
Dumbasses then proceeded to not understand anything about law, prosecution, or how lawsuits actually work.
They then said Americans should be killed off.

>>32401349
Obviously America isn't perfect. I've said numerous times we have to work on a lot of shit. A lot. But most countries are worse off. Most first world countries are worse off right now.
Example 1: All of Europe.

America only excels at wars to suit its corporate masters and pumping out ignorant fatasses to the world's tourist hotspots.

>>32401417
China used to use that argument with its people extensively.

People: Our lives suck.
China: Look at North Korea and African. Look! Look at itttttt!
People: Ohhhh.

>>32401605
That kind of reasoning is also one of the signs that your country is going down the shitter (and has been for a while).

When your populace stops challenging themselves to match or exceed others who are superior and starts pointing at the suffering and finding relief, there's a problem.
