The US is so close to becoming full-on fascist that people there are starting to associate liberals of all people with the left

No communist, anarchist, or anyone lefty in general would ban a piracy community — short of getting in legal trouble or something, which is not what happened here.

Probably just using Texas_Hangover’s lack of logic against them

Nah I wouldn’t want Lemmy to attract anti-piracy bootlickers (specially considering why we left Reddit for Lemmy in the first place). This being the largest community is a good filter imo.

This is a good resource on the subject then.

To summarize, the “problem” here was created by the US, which funded separatist militants like the ETIM in Xinjiang through Afghanistan to destabilize China, which eventually led to these groups attacking cities in the region like Urumqi. China has responded by integrating the region better into the Chinese economy, connecting infrastructure, building vocational training centres etc. It’s stable now, specially with covid being mostly over in China and Xinjiang being open to tourists with no additional restrictions than other regions in the country. It gets double the annual visitors than Spain now apparently at 260mil annually. You can look up travel videos on YouTube, or really just visit it and see it for yourself.

US is banning travel to Xinjiang now though, and have pressured companies like Volkswagen into pulling out of Xinjiang to keep the narrative alive as long as possible.

Who could’ve seen this coming :0

It’s always projection with these imperialist countries.

is right

Lmfao

don’t expect the plan to have worked at all

While it’s not being as effective on younger people, anglosphere countries have had their populations grow very anti-China with the sinophobic rhetoric in news outlets and politicians in the last 5 years.

It’s clearly worked, and, like alot of other republican projects (like the border wall), dems have continued this racist shit.

The effort, which began in 2019

Checks out with the all the racist “memes” about China that took off in english-speaking spaces around this time

Reclusive Island Monarchy Now Second Unhappiest Nation in the World

Reports indicate that the militaristic regime is now the second unhappiest nation in the world behind Uzbekistan.

With poverty rising, unelected leaders of the hermit kingdom continue to use their funding to bomb and support coups and genocides in foreign countries.

At the same time, food bank use is soaring.

It is always morally correct to pirate nintendo products.

Or anything by megacorps in general really

Yup. This is the original post of the picture it seems.

I’ll add it to this post.

Zionists are just nazis

Not even exaggerating much really. They have the same goal of getting Jews out of Europe and weaponizing and exacerbating antisemitism. And nazis and zionists have collaborated because of that.

It never was, or was ever meant to be, an actual “democracy”. Imperial core countries’ political systems only serve to protect capital and imperialism, with a thin veneer of “democracy” to discourage uprising and two parties to divide the working class.

I like the insinuation that the US is an actual “democracy” lmao

All instances should have the donation links at the top of the sidebar tbh, and an infographic or something to show how far along they are to paying for monthly server costs.

Ideally NATO would fall apart and cap the member states’ potential to commit their imperialism in the middle east.

And modern capitalist Russia tries its best to put out anti-communist propaganda for its population too btw. The current governments of the US and Russia aren’t too different in that sense; the difference is that Russians have lived under Socialism and experienced the massively decreased quality of life after the country turned capitalist so the propaganda doesn’t quite work (with rising support for the USSR in recent years even)

The reason Trump wants to ally with Russia is likely to sabotage China, the same way they sabotaged the USSR and contributed to its illegal dissolution by allying with China against them in the Cold War.

Some weeks back he also put Marxism in a good light. He’s been unusually based lately.

How the hell had I not heard of Bookwyrm before. This is a fantastic goodreads equivalent.

Is there a dark mode though? Can’t find it and my eyes are starting to hurt.

It’s always been time to drop bombs on “israel” from the moment they started killing the native Palestinians in 1948
