Yahoo News is so stupid. They frame this as an attack on Asian Americans. The attacker is Yemeni. Yemen is in Asia.

the whole "blacks vs asians" thing really got promoted by the media a lot in the last week. I've seen that narrative everywhere suddenly... just more divide and conquer at work. Our media is psychologically abusing us

And we all are forced to fund it!

That's why it's important to find ways to legally reduce the amount of taxes paid, so we stop funding it as much as possible. Not that it really matters though because they just print more money. But for my conscience it's good to know I'm not participating as much as possible

Agree, I have not owned a TV in like 10 years now and I don't miss it even a little bit.

I just have the shows I want on my computer without ads. I just care about a few shows. When I watch actual TV like when visiting family, the amount of ads is very irritating to me now, it's like 1/3 ads! I don't know how people waste their time sitting in front of ads like that

People willingly fund it. You can't be forced to.

Here where I live, we are forced to fund them via taxes. They use it for propaganda and for misleading the people. A certain amount goes to TV channels controlled by gov and other gov friendly media too. Can't do much except not using them.

And u/jet199 is helping them

There are some people who willingly choose to pay taxes by becoming a paid servant of more successful people, where paying taxes is literally part of the deal.

It's true that some taxes are almost unavoidable, as in taxes on goods and services. Or at least we don't hear from those who succeed, because even an internet connection is taxed. But many people simply choose to donate months of their labor to the government in the form of taxes, because that's the way that seems easiest.

It's literally 99% blacks attacking asians though. This has been going on in the last 2 cities I've lived in for years but they obviously can't talk about it on TV.

I think a better description would be poors vs middle class Asians.

These, mostly old, Chinese heritage people being attacked (even the ones from places like Thailand are from the Chinese minority there) have worked hard and saved money their whole lives so they are now targets for crooks. This is made worse by the fact they haven't moved out of the inner cities like other ethnicities because that's where the local china town is or that's where their business is. They should use their business acumen to bring in regeneration to push the poors out, that'll learn them.
