How bad would west mainstream news freak the fuck out if this was proposed in China.

Is this an effort to try to reach out to the Liberals using alternative-family adjacent words?

“I’m poly” might just mean something very different in the future…

Thank you, comrade, for your thoughts and insights into this. I am someone who did think that left spaces are infighting too much and right spaces are unified. As I’m sure is common.

But between your post and a couple of comments, I think that is something I should reconsider.

The public shaming of politicians does seem to be different, however. And that does put out an aura of unity. But of course, looks are deceiving. And I can’t stand hanging out in right-wing spaces, so I’ve never witnessed the internal turmoil myself.

What’s the evidence of the actual words spoken? I CLEARLY hear “I don’t give a fuck about Gaza…” But not much more.

One randomly cited article has different words, but no evidence outside the video boy what she says, and I have ears so…

All the other shitlibs online calling out “missinformation” as if the exact words some shitlib yelling at a toddler (about Gaza, since, you know, that’s why the dad was there…) Changes anything. A distraction at best.

Yes, yes, yes Wikipedia is absolutely garbage and all that.

Laughing fucking my ass off??? Once I read that in my head, I just couldn’t stop laughing at that.

Too bad the majority of the article was pure propaganda.

Libs are having a hard time with Chinas success and need to find any reason to demonize them.

I feel ya comrade. The isolation feels real.

Literally me haha

My own experience with local organizing in the Imperial Corps is similar but different in important ways.

The local communist group is trying to be active in impactful wats, especially around Palestine, which is awesome. At the end of the day, we work with a ton of people that are not communists, which is great! We’re trying to bring people in, and after all, the group that we are directly participating in is a pro-Palestine group, not communist directly.

But many of the core members seem to have a lot more emphasis on building “us”, instead of helping Palestine. And that has rubbed a bunch of people, including me, the wrong way. In fact, they aren’t necessarily ultra-communists that are armchair theorists, but unfortunately they just aren’t seemingly doing the work that the public actually wants.

To be fair, organizing around my area is really tough. There’s a ton of anarchists who would rather just light fires and walk away than do what we would call principled work, communist or not.

Don’t feel bad about not wanting to participate in the purists or the ones that maybe don’t have their heart in the right place. It’s totally fine, and it doesn’t make you a liberal, and I don’t think anybody on here is gonna think less of you for it.

Okay, feels like three per day is still a lot. Nobody’s out there writing three books per day. Unless this is, like, a publisher limit.

Also I’m pretty sure I bought one of those AI books, for embedded development, a while ago. I would be pretty pissed off about it, but actually it was so poorly formatted and weird that bit was pretty funny. It was like 12 bucks for a joke.

Now it’s a good way to show to people that AI generated slop even exists in book space, a cheap lesson.

I got the proper textbooks too, so I did get the information I was looking for.

I’m gonna keep in mind what you and others have said that this is nothing new and I don’t have to panic. At least I know this wave will pass like every other.

It sucks though. I feel unironically red-pilled. Just a different perspective on things and it’s weird.

I used to have such strong positive feelings for Democrats and such strong negative feelings for Republicans and I remember literally feeling back in the day that I could not imagine feeling any differently. Now I hate them both (for sifferent reasons) and that’s just a weird feeling.

Oh boy, yeah, I was in high school around that time. Not super conscious about things, but man, I can imagine that the internet of the day was certainly on fire.

Yeah, the long story short about that is I have made some strides and joined FRSO and have talked to some people, and even was organizing until life caught up recently (medical, work). The group is very small, very limited where I am and I’m outside the city nowadays, so it’s a lot harder for me to do in-person events.

Im planning getting re-involved, but that’s gonna take awhile unfortunately.

Too real!

Sad, but at least I see it now :/

We’re a frugal people, only recently arrived at wealth, and then mostly in the southeast of England

Not from England here, but this reads as either a completely disingenuous, or a real testament to how terrible colonialism and capitalism really is.

You’re telling me that the foremost experts on colonialism, the ones that have stolen the most from the world throughout history ( Okay, the United States has taken so much that they’ve probably surpassed England hand-over-fist by now, but you know what I mean) Was considered a poor nation up until like 60 years ago?

I know the whole article is about not rinsing your soapy dishes, but I just can’t get off of this idea that either people in England think that they are actually modest, or all their colonialism and Imperialism did fuck all for so many people, that why are they not all communists by observing the overwhelming evidence by now?

This is more confusing than anything.

He was hiding in a bush presumably waiting for him to come by or something and Secret Service saw his gun pointing out of the bush and shot at him.

Pretty pathetic in my opinion.

They even admitted that there’s a lot of dense cover around and he’d basically be invisible if he didn’t stick his gun out.

I fell for it. But OMG that was hilarious.

Jesus, if she said something like remotely pro-communist, then at least that would make sense to a propagandized population… Literally, all she said was, I’m here… And picture of her having fun.

Americans are becoming so brainbroken that literally just mentioning China without automatically talking about how terrible and horrible and evil it is makes you a CCP shill.

On the other hand, it’s getting easier and easier to prove to people how fucking stupid Usonians are. Instead of digging up some crazy mask-off quote by some nut job in Congress ( But I repeat myself…), you can basically just gesture broadly to Twitter… Err… X.

Neat, but nanotubes have been around for a long time now. The problem has always been scaling up, which this article mentions is still an issue, sigh.

Although, the 86% connectivity of copper seems relatively low, I think with higher quality nanotubes, it would be higher than copper, right? I’m stretching my memory a bit. I feel like I haven’t read about manotubes for a number of years. The high strength they mentioned later in the article, sounds the same as I’ve heard before. A well-formed nanotube braided properly should be basically the strongest rope we’ve ever made.
