China 1984 authoritarian CCP -racist slurs and stereotypes for good measure-

apologies for the english I am an american

lmao

Try to think why these supposed “threats” are such a big deal for an alliance of countries so far away from the region to be affected, and you might stumble upon the real reason why they hate China so much.

Spoiler alert, it’s because they can no longer take advantage of China like they did when it was under the boot of the British. They hate that it’s a sovereign country that works for its own benefit, and that their footholds in the region are unable to reverse the course of history as they’d like.

Maybe there’d be some hope for that to happen if everyone in the EU hadn’t been conditioned to be racist as fuck against anyone to the east or south for centuries

really putting the ‘fed’ in ‘piefed’

It’s also very interesting how someone who seems to really dislike a country they don’t live in having what they claim to be a social credit system, are the ones who actually implement the fucking thing in their own software

Maybe some instances can be de-federated if it’s shown over time that they exist specifically for that purpose, but on a platform level I don’t think anything can be done, not without messing up the core feature of it at least which is decentralization through ActivityPub.

It’s inevitable that it will happen as popularity increases and certain organizations become aware of it, it will have to be a constant struggle unfortunately, similar to socialist states existing alongside aggressive capitalist ones.

Great take, I hadn’t thought of it like that but it makes perfect sense and explains certain behaviors in a certain thread

Trump may be the perfect idiot to act as the facade of the capitalist class and pull all the spotlights on his person, but he isn’t the one calling all the shots. As always, it’s the capitalists that really shape the direction of politics, and now they have a great loud distraction so they can pass all their fascist policies to terrorize the working class and make it all look like the decision of a few bad apples that corrupted “democracy”.

When all this is done, assuming that there will be another election then, they will say that the big bad cheeto man has been defeated and now we can live harmoniously again, returning to the blissful ignorance of everyday class exploitation.

Not before revolution. As long as capitalists are still in charge, renewable energy is still used as a commodity and sold to us proles as expensive as before the transition, and with added cost even for the “transition costs”, I say this from experience where I live.

But of course, after revolution renewable energy is the only way to go, not only to save the planet and ourselves, but also because it eliminates a massive need of labor and resources that would be required to sustain an oil / mineral powered economy.

today I was tasked with breaking rocks with a pickaxe with my feet chained, but you can be damn sure I looked professional and really upstanding while doing it, that’s gonna show em
