entire governments are in agreement

Yeah and literally all of them are white western US allies contractually obligated to hate China

Not a single Muslim majority, even those that are US allies, have said shit

Holy shit are you one of those people that actually fucking believes that?

Winnie the Pooh isn’t banned in China, you can go visit Shanghai Disney and go see him. You can buy Pooh merch. The only thing that got banned was comparing images of Xi and Obama to Winnie and Tigger, and if you can’t see why representing Xi with a literal yellow character and Obama with a character named Tigger might be worthy of social media bans, you’re willfully ignorant.

And Chinese people aren’t executed if they hear about Tiananmen Square. They know it fucking exists, they just refer to it by date and not by name.

Taiwan rightfully belongs under Chinese rule.

This is also the Taiwanese position.

Taiwan has never claimed independence, they’re called the Republic of China because they see themselves as the rightful Chinese government in exile. They don’t want a small isolated island, they want to take back the mainland.

As I understand it we should have /some/ more time until the invasion of Taiwan, mainly because they need more numbers of and more reliable marine landing vehicles with greater ranges.

China hasn’t made a single actual step towards invading Taiwan for reunification since the end of the Chinese Civil War.

It has been like 70 years of the US telling us they’re gonna invade any second now, and China has continued to not invade and maintain the policy of waiting for reunification to happen naturally.

But y’know go off, king

Creating the Space Force to funnel more money into the MIC

Every liberal was pissing themselves laughing at how silly it was. They made a rush Netflix comedy about how silly it was.

And now that Biden’s in power it is a vital part of national security etc

Dudes rock

It’s a long video, yes, but it’s primarily a video about one of the largest queer creators on YouTube stealing from smaller queer creators, erasing their contribution to media and literary critique while simultaneously positioning himself as King Queer.

I know it’s a meme to laugh about internet drama and be contrarian and popular media here, but in this case, it’s a valid subject.

I actually speak 4 languages

Congratulations.

You’re on a Marxist forum with users all over the world, not Reddit.

Being multilingual isn’t fucking special, most of the world is, and most of our users are.

Starting to think the ML in Lemmy.ml stands for machine learning, because there’s no way an adult human writes like this

Remember that literally everyone considered the ETIM a terrorist organization right up until Zenz fabricated his bunk genocide claims, and then very suddenly the US and a few key allies dropped that label from them.

Redditors are some of the most gullible fucks on the planet

As soon as any one of these AIs asks to be referred to by pronouns, techbros will go fucking Butlerian Jihad on them.

Critically underrated root vegetable in much of the west, tbh

this is a classic sci fi plot

And every single fucking time it goes bad for the people involved

Like literally every single instance of a species being uplifted in sci fi is a cautionary tale about interference with others, and usually has the uplifted species be violent/used as a weapon

Literal fucking Torment Nexus bullshit

Liberals believe one of two things in my experience, in regards to that: Either that’s all fake news, Ukraine didn’t bomb anyone, there were no ethnic cleansings, and if there were, it was committed by a rogue militia that has nothing to do with the government, or

The existence of ethnic Russians is because Russia is attempting to ethnically cleanse Ukraine, and that they should be expelled anyway because they’re not Ukrainian

He was a lib, but he was also a lib with deep understanding of class and class consciousness. He fucking hated celebrity chefs, and celebrated the working class cooks and dishwashers he worked alongside. Where most celebrity cooking shows went to France and shit for the fanciest duck farts plated on endangered wood from Madagascar, Bourdain’s favourite place to go was for a bowl of street noodles in Vietnam, sitting on the curb with a beer. A lib, but less insufferable than most, and one that may have become a comrade later.

This demonic entity in human form was good friends with August Pinochet, who during his coup of Chile murdered anyone left of him in extremely vicious ways

He also presided over the bombing of Cambodia and Laos, leaving both nations with so much unexploded ordnance that to this day, thousands are maimed every year despite the Vietnam war being decades over

He is directly responsible for at least two genocides

May he rest in eternal hellfire and boiling piss

Blue jean baby LA lady…

Amber.

Trump likes anyone who is nice to him. He would like Xi because Xi would be polite to him because Xi knows how to handle diplomatic tact, no more, no less.

Even that story is bullshit, because the boat they tracked as being the rented one is relatively small, and they’d brought on several thousand pounds worth of explosives.
