Not just the 19th. Anyone not a land owner shouldn't vote.

It's not quite that they're more retarded than we are and more that no one knows if the Chinese are militarily competent, especially the Chinese, because they've never had to be. Their great warriors are as distant from modern China as we are from the late Romans, but the West comes from a tradition of leadership by warrior aristocrats while the Chinese come from a tradition of occasional warlords but mostly bureaucrats.
Also don't discount that every time a bugman dies his entire family line dies with him. While the Chinese state will be more than happy to throw the bugmen into the meat grinder, how long before it causes massive social unrest?
Remember that the most important thing to Chinese culture is face and not being actually powerful or competent but being seen as those things. China and India are more alike than either would admit to, but I will give you that China values competence more then India does. The real problem that keeps either country from being a real great power is that neither can really project power in a meaningful way. America, weakened as she is, still can. The fact that Taiwan still exists is evidence of that.

It's not even possible for the average person to own land nowadays. At least don't allow people without jobs to vote. HR/Bloated Management "jobs" don't count.

I'd be fine with "If you are on any form of goverment assistance you forfeit your vote"
That includes goverment jobs.

NAACP? Now Apes Are Considered People.
Ya know, it'd be fucking hilarious if the woke went after them for using the super problematic term Colored People instead of People of Color.

Fun thing about india is that when two dudes beef they use their shitty english because their own native langauge reflects caste system (showing who is higher and lower) I always find that funny.
The other thing about the PLA, they won because the republican army got weakend fighting the japanese.
Also the army has to generate a portion of its own funding. That means the army acts like business, when people join the army they honestly pay to enlist then they pay for promotions, Add to it the fact they mostly train to beat up their own people, and the one child policey means any causalities will not be well received.
I ve always viewed china as that weird country that wishes to be master of a world it doesnt want to understand.
And finally the economic growth of china for last 20 years has been amazing but their leadership has squandered that growth.
What happens when the next generation doesnt see their situation improving? thats what they are hitting right now.
That and the bursting of their housing bubble lol

Yeah, China has a lot of structural and cultural problems that are acting as a break on them. I think people read the history of Japan into the rise of China, but Japan was structurally similar to the West in ways that China isn't and I think that's why Japan succeeded in following the lessons of the West where China can't help but be China, just with shitty buildings and shitty cars and the like. Japan realized that they could be like the West while still being Japanese, China just insists they're Number One and don't need anything anyone else has. Amusingly, that's the same attitude that led to a century of getting fucked up the ass by the West. I think the Han are culturally incapable of learning lessons that come from outside their culture. China's historical cycles are remarkably similar.
They're more of a house of cards than a paper tiger at this point, it's more a question of which card falling brings the whole thing down.

And armed citizens stop violent crimes all the time. Sometimes they shoot the bad guy, often brandishing alone will stop a crime. But you only hear about these events on the local news and in specialist publications that collect these stories and reprint them. The national media never picks them up, not unless they think they can spin the innocent defender as a criminal. So normies have no idea how many crimes are stopped by firearms. Even eggheads at universities and government agencies don't really know, but it's conservatively in the low six figures per year--around an order of magnitude greater than gun homicides. And that doesn't include the deterrent effect that an armed populace has on crime.
Only 5 of the 13 colonies required land ownership. In general you had to own taxable property, which was not required to be real property, or in one colony you could simply pay a tax regardless of how much you owned. This pattern continued in newly admitted states: some required real property, some required payment of a tax, some required militia service or some other public service, and some had fairly simple residence requirements.

IIRC, well one of the founders of the NAACP was a white woman who was banging Frederick Douglas and was a Masshole.

When I've been to Tokyo the chinese there, usually the spoiled children of the CCP elite, are seen as being the worst visitors or tourists. It could have been an old bartender blowing smoke up my ass in Ginza but he said the American stereotype of being rude is fake, we might not know the correct things to do on the other side of the world but we're quick to apologize and we don't mean anything by it. In my experience there that was true compared to places in europe that still act pretentious to american tourists. And this was confirmed by some japanese guys at the bar who work with expats. The chinese who visit are rude, hock loogies on the floor even in buildings because they're acting like saudi princes with their money, and get pissy when the japanese salesmen don't speak mandarin correctly. Supposedly the quick way to tell a Chyna tourist from Taiwanese is to deliberately speak in english and then treat them accordingly.

OWS was predicted by Project for a New American Century years before it occurred, which was a veritable who's who of the Uniparty -- Bush and Clintons, for example. I don't follow it too much, but IIRC the general consensus was "we need to destroy populism in the West before the poors turn on their betters." Thus you had the tea party and OWS which were social engineered against each other and against their own interests. As many people noticed, with OWS they used wokeism to sabotage it rather infamously. That's how you know wokeism is some sort of op, it was weaponized to derail and destroy a populist movement already.
GamerGate was a little different. GG as "Gamers encounter a political issue and become divided" was always going to happen. But more importantly, GamerGate was the first time the left lost a culture war argument in 30+ years. The right had given up the culture to the left sometime in the 70s or 80s. They lost the last culture war to the point that an entire generation of righty politicians and political managers had been conditioned, trained, and indoctrinated to not even begin to have the fight. Just let the left dictate culture and the right can try and slow down any of the more insane excesses. It was just like the abortion debate -- a compromise. Safe, legal, rare for abortion, "left but not too crazy" for culture.
GamerGate at it's core was the left stepping into an industry / hobby / fandom / organization and saying "welp, this is a nice enough setup, but you aren't pandering to our cultural whims enough, so obviously you'll have to fix that." And to their shock, and everlasting eternal burning hatred, were told "No, fuck you." The very intelligent people -- they have pieces of paper telling us (and themselves) this -- declared to us the truth and the proper opinions, and the gamers said "lol, faggot."
And that's where we learned the flipside of the culture war. Where the right had been trained into flinching at the mere flexing of lefty cultural power, the left... had forgotten that you have to be ablet to do more than just flex. The left doesn't know how to fight a culture war anymore. They haven't NEEDED to in decades -- an entire political generation, at least. So when they arrived on the scene to enlighten the masses with the glory of their great cultural ideas and the people in question not only rejected but outright mocked them, they had absolutely no idea what the fuck to do.
Worse, they have no stamina. These are people who crumple into the fetal position if they hear the word nigger. They literally train themselves to break down at the mere mention of this word, because it means they are good people -- while openly calling any uppity black that refuses to obey them coons and uncle toms. Because they're good people. They had to ban the word "groomer" because it was so devastating to their position and they had no answer to it. Gamers just flat out telling them "no, fuck you" was not only an existential problem to them, it was one they don't have the internal fortitude to deal with.
So rather than even have the debate, they have spent the past 9 years ensuring the evil uppity gamers are sequestered away, their ability to speak and discuss things disrupted, with the mere mention of "G*m*rG*t*" being a thought terminating cliche to them. The ultimate boogieman, "the evil that said no to us, the beautiful ones." As far as I can tell, the plan is to just hide the entire existing gamer culture in the cellar while they try and grow a new, woke gamer culture to replace it. The problem being is it's an industry, and industries have to sell things, and no amount of "you aren't allowed to have an opinion unless your opinion agrees with mine" bullshit will ever force those nasty, nasty gamers to buy shitty products by people that hate them just to prove they're good people.

The greatest tragedy of the the NAACP was that Booker T died before De Bois so De Bois and his philosophy became the founding principle instead of Booker Ts.
