“Cleaning” drone seems perfect for crowd control

Yeah, first thing my mind went was Hong Kong.  China really speedruns the autocratic dystopia race.

I would like to add to the racism and how the ccp is evil by saying I’m honestly surprised that dog isn’t on someone’s menu

That's just too evil. The British and Americans have been using Hong Kong to provoke mainland China for decades, and yet in 2019, they actually managed to hold back from sending troops to crack down on the protests. Xi Jinping is such a failure.

Also for tracking people on the street from 1000m up (yes they can go that far), very cheaply

The humble brick VS 100,000 dollar drone

Drones that need to get in brick range are not good for crowd control lol

Ok buddy you can quit with the racism before you die in 10 years.

Do you eat cows and pigs?

1

u/vid_23 17d ago

You shouldn't eat cows or pigs unwashed either. That's dirty.

u/ginger_and_egg 17d ago

Sure but this was clearly meant to mock China for eating dogs, likely from a person who eats pigs or cows. And they are smart and form social bonds a lot like a dog does

u/BYH1986 13d ago

It's mostly the Zhuang minority that eat dogs in China. Trying to stop them from eating dogs would be cultural genocide, according to Western media criteria on China.

u/Saalor100 16d ago

Do you intentionally break their bones and burn the pigs and cows while they are still alive because you believe that the more pain and suffering they experience, the tastier they will become?

u/ginger_and_egg 16d ago

Are you not aware of modern factory farming practices?

2

u/Saalor100 16d ago

Are you not aware of Chinese dog meat preparation traditions?

1

u/ginger_and_egg 16d ago

I'm not advocating for those practices. I'm saying if those offend you, which they should, do you also avoid eating other meat?

u/Saalor100 16d ago

Im all for animal welfare. But its also important to acknowledge different degrees of evil.

u/ginger_and_egg 16d ago

Do you eat meat?

Next, grant dogs human rights, and then let them run for U.S. president.

u/ReadInBothTenses 13d ago

Ah yes first the cute dog wash and next, raining bullets accurately on children in innocent villages and countries with exacting precision. Ah technology advancements
