    It kind of hits personally for me, I know many Blizzard employee's and have been either playing their games since I was 7. Kind of hurts to see friends get thrown under the bus on social media by people that don't really understand it's not their decision. Also if you work in the games industry Blizzard is like the holy grail of employers it could be a very bad career decision for some people to leave.

    Well, it may go nowhere...but the unrest continues, nonetheless.

    And later, the killings will continue until morale improves.

    So, you're saying, in the final analysis nothing will change. And that would be a sad statement.

    It would seem that things are going to change for the worse. That's what they are protesting against.

    China's unchecked rise to world dominance during Obama's terms is stumbling into economic obstacles placed in it's path by Trump. It's a massively overpopulated, disgustingly polluted shithole with 1.43 billion people, all of them so unhappy they are only kept there by force.

    Observers say Trump has already set them back years in their plans, and that their masses may be too great to be defeated if they revolt.

    My God, you fall for just about any old crap the Trump cult dreams up.

    Well, at any rate, they appear to be committed...

    All this, in light of the dictator's clear warning....

    “Anyone attempting to split China in any part of the country will end in crushed bodies and shattered bones. And any external forces backing such attempts dividing China will be deemed by the Chinese people as pipe-dreaming!” ~Chinese President Xi Jinping
