Only if you don’t think China drove over their own citizens in 1989. Why do you think any of these countries are being honest about themselves? What’s in it for them to be honest about their past actions, current actions or plans for the future? They’re not your friends.
Ever notice how the “West’s” opinion on China softened with the rise of Tiktok or when Hollywood started chasing the Yuan?
No, it’s a summary. You can try to quantify individual acts and weight them against each other, but people aren’t going to agree about values and even if you could really figure out which one is worse, you wont achieve anything. It’s dark gray vs dark gray and your eyes aren’t good enough to differentiate between the two. I do know enough to not swear fealty to either country.
It looks average I guess. I know Japanese prisons are some of the worse of any 1st world nation, so I kinda assumed SK would be similar. The documentary could also be putting a more humane angle then it deserves.
Sounds like he’ll be put in a cell with about 4 other people, unless there’s a need to isolate him. He’ll probably get isolated in a week after his cellmates beat his ass.
This is also hard labor and this boy is soft as hell. He will not be having a good time.
Isn’t what you’re bring “all or nothing” anyway. US is bad, so China is good is just another black and white world view. Both can be bad. Both can be engaged in propaganda.
Your mask is slipping.
The culture of lemmy is very anti consumer, which helps to insulate it from that. If the normies started moving in, that’s when the problems start.
Someone who posts to reddit like it’s their job. They’re normally a mod for a far too many subs, repost already popular memes and probably take payments to push advertisements disguised as memes. I remember a period of time when everyone was posting weird happenings in front of their houses from their doorbell cams. The brand burn ins were always turned on.
I only really blocked power users on reddit and lemmy doesn’t have those yet. Not the same way gallowboob was.
Real people wouldn’t even notice from the streets, but rich fucks would see them from their jets and oppose it.
He wants them to die. Preferably after they enlist in the military.
Freakazoid.
I picked China from skimming your comment history. Have you defended North Korea? jfc
Discredit the truth by burying it in lies. China did take Hong Kong and suppress protesters against their will. Same with Tibet. They want Taiwan but going after that right now could give Trump a just war and they’d rather see the US shoot itself in the foot in the international space. The more extreme stuff against China may just be propaganda that China itself created to discredit the more reasonable claims. The same way that the US government spread rumors about aliens at Area 51 to discredit the sighting of spyplane testing.
I think it’s your defense of China that’s getting you called a tankie.
I linked a video that want into more detail, but Asmon was repeating a bad report that Afericans have a 70IQ. Even when the test wasn’t made for them and it’s dishonest to think that a different in IQ is meaningful in this instance, that’s still a dishonest number.
I don’t know about that, but there are several people swilding rich people on that front. I hope Musk’s chest pops from all the HGH he’s taking.
Let people drive safely.
There were people going maskless during covid because they already caught covid and were only interested in protecting themselves.

Yes. Firstly, iq tests have a bias to the culture that created them. It’s based on the sorts of problems that that culture values. You can’t use it to compare to different populations with different cultures.
Secondly, depending on what source you found, the study might have been run by racists with an agenda.
Thirdly, Africa is a huge continent with wildly varying cultures. You can just average those results together and get anything useful out of it, unless you have a racist agenda.
The vast majority of my media is stored locally and works offline. I’d probably get a couple more hard drives for more backups.
