Lmao. X-Files was 30 years ago, dude.
I think there are good alternatives depending on the situations like frustrating, unwise, thoughtless, even evil when it’s capitalism doing something very egregious.
There are alternatives out there. We don’t use them because these ableist words act as a convenient filler, but if there common usage causes some people to feel discomfort, then imo we should look into removing these from our vocabulary.
Unless they operate it like a co-op. Which is definitely possible to do.
Yeah that was the intent.
Under communism all memes will be shared and expanded on communally.
Abolish the private property of memes.
Free the means of meme production.
It’s like a freaking cheat code lmao.
China has ended a war that killed hundreds of thousands of children but at what cost?
This news alone should make you welcome the Chinese century. They did what no Western power wanted to do and now millions of Yemeni will get to live and rebuild their society.
I don’t even have words.
Something that doesn’t get mentioned in this Hasan/Streamer controversy regarding the game.
The fucking developers recognise the importance of Twitch. They are giving exclusive benefits to Twitch viewers who watch people streaming the game.
But somehow streamers say it doesn’t matter if they stream the game or not.
Yeah, I’ll give them a read. As I said, I trust people here enough to not reflexively dismiss the sources. I was just stating my issues with them and why I tend to not use them that often.
I guess our mileage varies on the AP article. I’ve shown it to people to convince them that China isn’t genociding a million Uyghurs. That leads us to the other parts of the propaganda, yes, but at least it stops them from saying it’s a new Holocaust, which is a win in my book.
I’ll go through these. I’m sure I’ll have questions.
One of the problems I know already is that blogs etc. are not valid news sources. Even if I trust people here and extend that trust to the blogs y’all cite like Red Sails, that will not convince anyone whose not already pro-China. Their anti-anarchist screeds don’t help their case as an arbiter of truth, btw.
The article by Associated Press a year or so ago that goes over how the camps etc are basically shut down now does far more to convince people than sites like Gray Zone whose front page looks identical to any number of far-right news sources. Stuff like their anti-vax BS really hurts their credibility and calls into question how accurate their reporting really is.
Even Sixth Tone, which literally run by the Party, is much more reliable and trustworthy as a source. Unfortunately, they are not a proper daily news outlet, so they don’t cover everything and mostly focus on cultural issues.
These aren’t non-issues or “whatabout-isms” either. How you treat an issue people know about (in the case of libs, it’s anti-vax bs; in the case of leftists, it’s anarchism) effect how much trust they afford to the source in other issues.
