For anyone not familiar with how positions in Lebanon are traditionally chosen

Key points of the agreement stipulate that:

Lebanese Christians do not seek Western intervention, and accept that Lebanon had Arab features.

Lebanese Muslims abandon their aspirations to unite with Syria and the Arab World.

The President of the Republic and the Commander of the Lebanese Armed Forces must be Maronite Catholic.

The Prime Minister of the Republic must be a Sunni Muslim.

The Speaker of the Parliament must be a Shia Muslim.

The Deputy Speaker of the Parliament and the Deputy Prime Minister must be Greek Orthodox Christian.

The Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces must be a Druze.

There must be a ratio of 6:5 in favour of Christians to Muslims (and Druze) in the Lebanese Parliament.

I would probably not abuse 20 interns

And I would probably not also give money to republicans to try "to push them left", I think spending the money on almost any other thing would be more politically valuable than that

glad to see the Lincoln project is still wasting rich people's donations

Tyler Oliveira fucking sucks, don't promote him. Judging by your posting history you do not align with this guy politically, take a look at his recent videos, he's accompanying ICE doing deportations.

I would strongly disagree, half the reason AI is being so pushed right now is big business wants to extract growth regardless of how many people are employed and how many people are alive. There is no logical reason to be an anti-natalist, when the problem is quite clearly capitalism, not the amount of people, that's just rebranded Malthusianism.

The Advocate is the world’s leading source of LGBTQ+ news and information.

They tend to mention when someone is LGBTQ+ in The Advocate

Imo I think the biggest thing is it would be completing the revolution in the sense that the KMT fled to Taiwan and is a holdout, that would be a huge win for national pride and legitimacy for the government. The second biggest thing would be nothaving another country with an army so close to them that is "hostile" to their interests. And then after that there would be a lot of other benefits like absorbing their industry, economic zones, military bases, etc. They would much rather have the modern KMT party win an election and vote to become a part of China, than invade, which while very unlikely is not impossible by any means in the span of decades.
