The only people who would take this application seriously are discord mods and federal agents.

Starting at 2000 overstates the initial US share, after the dotcom crash the US doesn't reach that export amount again until 2007. Additionally, the infographic manages to understate the growth in exports of both China and Chinese Taipei because the sector has grown in real terms. I wasn't able to find an unpaid version of the original data (even though the source is from the UN via McKinsey), so I couldn't do more of an analysis than that.

How can they be communists and not know that Castro and Lenin were lawyers?

The CIA even created a whole booklet about communist lawyers called "Communist Legal Subversion: The Threat of Communist Lawyers".

The ensuing cage match might top the 1998 Hell in a Cell match between Mankind and The Undertaker.

Let's go over the poll and how bias the questions are.

ISR4: Do you think it's true that Hamas terrorists killed 1200 Israeli civilians by shooting them, raping and beheading people including whole families, kids and babies or is that a false story?

This of course ignores the large number of military personnel killed by calling them civilians while also repeating the blood libel claim about babies.

ISR5: Do you think Hamas fighters are more appropriately called militants or terrorists?

Both of these words have a negative connotation in English normally you would use a neutral or positive word to gauge sentiment also the question above already calls them terrorists.

ISR7: Do you think Hamas is designated as a terrorist group by the U.S. government or is that not the case?

This is literally just a knowledge question but in the slides is presented as opinion. Bringing up the official designation just seems like an intentional attempt to bias any subsequent answers.

ISR15: Do you think the recent attack on Israel shows there is widespread antisemitism and hatred of Jews among Palestinians or does the attack reflect the actions of only terrorists and fundamentalists and not the will of Palestinian people?

These are the only two possibilities it couldn't have anything to do with fighting occupiers.

I just view it the same way as any type of injurious manual labor. They are workers who are in part selling their bodily well-being for money, so the goals should be harm reduction, alternative employment, and demand reduction. I'm not sure if it is possible to eliminate completely at this stage of development, but carceral policies should not be used. Also, there are plenty of trafficked sex workers who aren't doing it consensually.

The vast majority of Haiti practice some elements of vodou, but official stats list Christianity as the main religion.

It is a country with plenty reason to hate the French. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiti_indemnity_controversy

What compels people to sign their own execution warrants? This person would have written about how slaves don't have the right to runaway because it compels their master to chase them down.

The video is legitimate you need a couple power tools, some soldering, and a day or two worth of labor. Most audio equipment is expensive because it is either niche, used commercially (b2b goods are always overpriced), or sold to audiophiles who think money is quality. Audio tech is really mature and lasts for a long time so there's no money to be made in anything but predatory behavior.

Everyone eats bugs already though. The acceptable limit of bugs in food is greater than zero.

It is just a right wing meme about the future hell scape created by their scapegoat and totally not by capitalism.

I wish it was easier to get access to Chinese silicon from my liberal prison. Hopefully they achieve EUV lithography soon.
