@conditional_soup *Urumqi god this charlimit is so awful I can do 5000 but 500 is grueling. Sorry for triple tapping ya

@conditional_soup If you’ve heard of the one child policy here’s a fun fact none of you “China watchers” know. Most regions and/or minority groups did not get affected. If you were Han or anything in Tibet, or a minority any placd, you could be fruitful and multiply. Just an example of how China deliberately gives minority groups boosted democratic representation, healthcare access, training, and cultural representation. Which is what responsible nations should do (glaring at indian res)

@JohnDClay @turkishdelight Zenz repurposes the pro-life argument that reduced birth rates are genocide to make it look like Xinjiang getting free healthcare & women who had 3 kids already receiving tubal ligations/ etc. is genocide the same way KKK guys think modernity is white genocide. China literally trained these people to be bilingual realtors and stuff like that, it wasn’t even a mega trade program or something. They got people to white collar shit Xinjiang is rich

@MicroWave @tsonfeir Frank herbert-ass religiosity incorporating random political figures and smashing vibes together with abrahamic religions

@turkishdelight @CaptainSpaceman Yeah not sure if I’m using this term wrong but is this some kind of “datacenter protectionism”?

@paraphrand They believe this wholeheartedly (they elaborated and deleted), that the Russians conducted a false flag attack on themselves to get support for a war they are already conducting. You could only believe it if you were completely addicted to propaganda.

@CharlesDarwin Unfortunately the majority of marketing for small arms has gotten people jumping up and down at the thought of getting to kill a home intruder to the point that they were all cheering on a guy for shooting a pregnant woman and a guy running away.

@Socsa Haha, it’s funny how hostile people who call themselves leftists online are to talking about geopolitics or finance. That’s what you get when you overinvest your skillpoints in memes and not books 😅

@CharlesDarwin @Flax_vert I like how people argue about this as if US self defense law condoning people executing their neighbors and shit makes anything right lol

@jordanlund @Socsa You likely would be interested in Michael Hudson’s writing on why the US inflates its GDP and why all this stuff is so important to the fed preserving asset inflation to store wealth. Read Killing the Host! https://michael-hudson.com/

@girlfreddy @nonailsleft Just fyi “nonailsleft” lime juice seems to do something enzymatically to the fungus which keeps the nail biting cycle going. Whenever I relapse on picking or biting every few years, lime juice stops it in its tracks.

@guts @catculation He was just in the wrong place. A free speech idealist. You can tell Reddit’s other cofounder was never anything like him, and now he’s just monstrous. I’d make a limited comparison from Aaron to “Hotwheels”, a guy who keeps making imageboards for his free speech ideology, even though he’s a communist his sites are mostly used by reactionaries. Similar to Lemmy, actually. A lot of people who use this software despise the ideology of Lemmy’s main dev.
