My snow tires didn’t come with TPMS sensors.

Because they’re not mandated.

Just like LIDAR wasn’t mandated on your car when you bought it.

Do you drive without a LIDAR? Why, do you like to live dangerously?

I live in Canada and my snow tires haven’t had functioning TPMS in years. I do have a tire pressure light on forever, and they’re not mandated.

It’s all fun and games until you say that China is wearing socialism as a cloak the same way America wears Christianity or Israel wears anti-semitism.

Yeah the problem is that these people are deciding that “I am a nazi and I think white people are the supreme race and I want to install a fascist state” and “I don’t think China is actually socialist” are both nazi, fascist, bigoted speech, and then people like you are saying “no that doesn’t happen they only go after the bad stuff every single time and never get anything wrong”.

I don’t think it’s fair or productive to conflate America or Israel with “the West”.

First of all, it’s an ancient term used to describe sides in a conflict long since over, in some cases containing countries that don’t even exist anymore.

Secondly, it includes countries that actively oppose the US and Israel’s actions, like Ireland, or Spain.

Third, it doesn’t make any fucking sense, because it includes Japan, which is about as far east as you can get.

Just tell them that moral absolutism benefits the status-quo.

Because it’s true. It does. I think it’s actually a psyop by the capitalists to prevent socialism ever taking a foothold or affecting their money. Capitalists are afraid of positive incremental change, so they tricked leftists into being afraid of it too.
