What happens in China is the result of not having been brainwashed since childhood about how bad authoritarianism is.

Yeah, instead we have US occupation in many other countries. And US military bases all around the world. Yahoo!

This is SO COOL. But I was expecting it to have maps from HL too! I am not saying that HL invented "noclip", but it's certainly my first experience with that concept, even though I…

It's not like this is their first. And yes, companies like these have too much political power. That's something we all know. The question is how to fix that.
