“WWIII May Be Closer Than We Realize”: 50 Dark World News People Should Know

that's the problem though. WE isn't enough. Everyone with a soul needs to stop, but we also have to live so we can't stop. It's a nice idea

How tho??? EVERYTHING seems to be made in China these days!!! It's insane!!! I'm with you on this let's share ideas

A list of phones without Chinese parts or assembly would be useful.

Difficult to stop when most manufacturers outsource their production to China. Are you not buying any Apple products?

It's been proven time and time again that individual action like that almost never has any effect at all (sanctions against South Africa were a rare exception). We do have power collectively: that is, by voting for governments that'll do something about such human rights abuses. And before anyone says "But what about taking personal responsibility", voting IS taking personal responsibility if you live in a democracy. Vote for better governments. Only thing is: it's very, very hard to persuade a foreign government to change any of its domestic policies. It's even harder to do so when the country concerned is huge, rich, powerful, and a vital trading partner.

Good luck with that. Alternatives are expensive and none of us have money.

I tried in the 90s to never buy anything from China. Where were all the rest of you? It's too late now.

Yes. It is serious problem for Europe and America. And how long is it since we were able to produce what we needed? Fifty years? That is not that long ago.

Take a look at everything you own and buy. No matter the retailer (at least in the USA) a great majority of it originated in China. Even if you find the same item on Amazon or Walmart marketplace, it’s the same sellers just charging higher prices to offset operating costs. In this economy, people like myself on fixed incomes are finding it difficult to afford groceries or medications, much less groceries AND medications. For this reason, I’ve been forced to cut out the middle man everywhere I can and buy direct from China. I can buy direct from China or buy from Walmart and Amazon, pay higher prices, and STILL get the same item from China. Kind of an easy decision for me.

Its worth paying a little bit extra for Made In America.

Not much of a start if it does nothing

I don't know about any other countries, but America owes China WAY too much money to take any kind of stand against them.

Well, you see, our whole population got asked “would you rather get bigger tax cuts but the 1% gets tax increases and we all have to be less horrible to minorities, or smaller tax cuts but we all get to be more horrible to minorities” and voters did exactly what voters throughout the West have been doing.

Simple: The voters got lazy and didn't research the candidates or their actual positions. Freedom cannot be taken by anybody, it must be Given Away.

Men in charge

Lazy voters

Every major power, US, China, Russia, etc, are involved in protecting the party in each conflict that is in their interest

Just FYI, but every single industrial nation is directly or indirectly involved in every single conflict on this planet. Every nation that produces any armaments, any vehicles, any service or type of technology that can be used in war. EVERY NATION. Get off your high horse.

If you're European, your country has a long, long history of being directly involved in conflicts, as well as colonization. You colonized us, and we've only been a country for a couple hundred years. You were perpetrating atrocities long before the US even existed.

Nope. It’s a war. Started by muslim terrorists. Being won by Israel

Well then prepare to be even angrier when you find out it's because of American fundamentalists feeling like they've lost the culture war in the US and so they've gone to where their money can buy them more political influence.

Religion. Love thy neighbour unless they're gay!

THIS NEEDS UPVOTES!!! WE NEED MORE LOVE IN THIS WORLD!!!

Because it is not a matter of acceptance worldwide. Places very deeply steeped in religion and culture are harder sometimes to change views than, say, America, where it took many decades of work before the bulk of the population decided they could stop giving two fooks about the issue.

Can't reply directly to TotallyNOTAFox. They don't deserve a downvote. People need to stop being hypocritical about butting in on other cultures. I get that you don't like it, neither do I. But it's not my country and I don't make the rules there. If you believe that other countries should be able to decide the laws that apply then you need to realise that the US is a minority worldwide so your laws would be decided by worldwide majority so you'd run the risk of them being dictated by the billion Chinese or Indians. Many Americans hate it when people call them idiots for their attitude towards guns. Guess what, it's the same scenario.

Religion.

Different cultures, different views - nothing we can do about that besides doing better in our communites

Maybe bible teaching could be to blame

Was sent to one of the Utah camps myself and, like the narrator, had never done drugs or anything particularly bad. I just ran away from home a lot because I couldn't stand living with my guardian. I was lucky enough to be 17 already and was released at 18 (they really thought I would choose to stay and finish their program too). I ended up on drugs as well and pretty much ruined my life and am currently still in treatment for it.

The majority of people in Utah are in a cult - mormonism, it is unsurprising that they would allow and encourage such camps - the cult is all about absolute control over people's lives and you are damned if you are in anyway different.

That's crazy bc mine escaped with an accomplice as well. Stole the "Dean's" sedan and 1400 in cash from the office safe and got a far as Oklahoma. His dad was a pastor, flew down, smoothed things over and sent him back 😔

Cps sends children to these places. Theyre often *licensed* to be a group home.
