Hey, I get it. You don’t have answers and that is okay. Nationalism is always a symptom of a deeper problem and also relies on hiding the truth.

I told you the US was way worse than China. That makes me MAGA?

I think you are just confused and frustrated and really don’t know what the fuck you are saying at this point. I encourage you to continue examining your opinions. Cheers!

We can totally agree to disagree but the way the current Chinese government came to power was very brutal. We are talking 2 to 40 million dead depending how you calculate the loss of life.

No country is perfect and China is far from one.

I find it strange you would attribute the rise of China to their internal policies as opposed to the reality of them taking advantage of US and other foreign investments. China is great because of the US not despite it.

You sound like someone who is a pick me for China. This often happens when westerners get disillusioned with the US. Which I think is easy to do. They will look into some other country to latch onto.

For instance, I am guilty of looking up to some Western European countries policies and idealizing them. I was once also very enamored with socialism. I still am in a lot of ways.

Are you seriously trying to argue who is worse? I am pretty sure that US is way worse but China definitely sucks.

If do find you last comment enlightened. Yes we are not that much different. In fact China pumped out more billionaires than the US this year. Just two imperialist fascist countries sitting in a tree.

Blah blah. You can’t change something if you don’t understand it.

I am pretty sure you mean that we exist because of the ruling class. The American Revolution wasn’t really a popular uprising. It was a bunch of wealthy people seizing power through propaganda and terrorism.

There was never the “people” as you put it. It was a country by the rich for the rich with a nice helping of liberal propaganda the placate the masses.

We should turn his birthday into National Greed Day. A day to recognize how money has corrupted government!

Wholesome tigerface.

There are never any good guys per se, but I definitely was partial to the deaf guy because I knew him personally. I thought it was cruel to fire him when he had been doing it for over a decade even if they paid him a shit wage. It was still all he had.

Vibrators are natural as they exist in our world. Unnatural would be like a ghost or something that is not of this world.

On top of that the Bible says absolutely nothing about vibrators.

Are we talking about what the dementia patient says again!?

Alaska may vote red but they are not conservative at all. Pro weed and pro abortion are just one example of why it would not actually fit in with Jesusland.

I left Reddit because I realized that the people running it were complete assholes who believed money was more important than community.

What made me interested in Lemmy was the decentralized nature. What made me stay is how it reminded me of Reddit a decade ago and of course the community.

Ah yes, blame the people not in charge just like the ruling class likes.

Sad to see Tim in a wheelchair, but he is still sharp.

They pay minimum wage which is less than half of what it takes to live in this community. Definitely slave wages. A local deaf guy did it for years because he had a hard time finding work, then they hired his EX and decided he was no longer a good fit. Not exactly a good employer.

The whole concept of drowning out bad information with good information doesn’t work. It was just a theory about communication that has been proven wrong countless times.

Everything is propaganda. It had such a bad name for itself it was reinvented as public relations.

There were actually some pretty funny comics there, obviously edge lord stuff but they are pretty open about it.
