Let’s pretend for a second that China is geniunely undemocratic, what’s this post supposed to do in that case? China’s rulers wouldn’t care. All this could be, in my view, an attempt to rub it in the faces of the Chinese people, “look we have democracy and freedom in the civilized world 😏, what about you hmm? Ohh, you don’t have democracy there? 🤭”

Chauvanist piece of shit.

This seems to belong to !us_news@lemmygrad.ml.

I really don’t want to know the answer to that.

Do you all think the Western is a fundementally reactionary genre? I was big into Westerns a while ago, and though I was always aware of the reality behind the old West to some extent, seeing all the abhorrent shit Isreal has been doing and continues to do really hardened me against it I think.

Oh shit, he made a third video?! Man, I have GOT to listen to this tomorrow!

I think Joe Rogan is a bit worse since it passes itself off as a casual, guest driven podcast that’s hosted by a comedian.

Why is Johnny fucking Harris and why does your coworker publicly admit to watching it? /j

Is this server federated, or is it an island instance?

You know, there is this video produced by sol TV (YouTube channel of TKP’s media arm, lit. “Left TV”) that called Saudi Arabia a “freak remnant of the middle ages”, which I found to be unprofessional.

Then today I saw how many airstrikes the Saudi state has carried out against Yemeni civilians, in retrospect TKP was being nice if anything.

Major YouTube scandal

That happens every month, you might as well replace it with “the sun will rise”.

Some of the recommendations I’ve seen are:

• Less is More - How Degrowth Will Save the World by Jason Hickle
• Limits to Growth by Dennis Meadows
• John Bellamy Foster books
• Communism: The Highest Stage of Ecology

I would love to join! I’ve neglected reading theory for too long.

I don’t really know what this means to be honest. Maybe there are other settlers who are privately displeased with what their fellow settlers are doing, but does that amount to anything? This feels materially insignificant to me.

My country is an embarresment.

Do they want the Alawites to form their own party and milita?

HAH! 😂🫵

That’s hilarious if true.

Chauvanism is insufferable by itself, but it being so unearned is what drives me up the wall. We never established cultural hegemony that lead to our language becoming a literary standard, we’ve made no significant scientific contributions until recently, even our modern literature isn’t that great, our dramas suck, we aren’t even actually independent… what the heck are we being chauvanistic over?

Hell yeah! Excellent work comrades!

Quite ordinary. Given everything Comrade Mao did for PRC, it makes perfect sense for people to be protective of his legacy. Also if people think Chinese overreacted, they should never get involved with Turks lol
