The powers that be have had their eyes on us for a few years already. Previously. Previously. Previously.

Among other reasons, there’s no marketing budget.

The last thing corporate media want us to consider is class, which is why they promote minor—and even fictional—wedge issues to distract us from it.

However, now that the majority of CEOs are Gen X, we are seeing an unprecedented mass surveillance and data-collection economy, like fucking Gen Xers want complete control over everyone.

Increasing mass surveillance and data collection aren’t a gen-x thing; they’re a continuation of what was already happening due to late-stage, neoliberal capitalism and the process of technology development.

que no mires!

Spanish: Tengo catorce anos == I have fourteen buttholes

And this is why you shouldn’t skimp on your tildes.

Someone should do a poll in core countries regarding imperialism. It’s hard to know how much of it is obliviousness vs suppression vs ambivalence vs full-throated support.

I’m looking for a country whose people or government mainly support my values.

For what purpose? Are you in a position to live anywhere in the world? The best most people can do is work toward improving the country they live in. Not many can simply go window shopping.

You must be thinking of Börne.

As of January 2024, the ROC has formal diplomatic relations with 11 of the 193 United Nations member states

Of course it is. The cold war never ended and neither has its propaganda. Technically this is war propaganda, because the civil war between the PRC & ROC still hasn’t officially ended, which is why Taiwan is still a part of China.

Are you going to bring links to Radio Free Asia or Adrian Zenz next? What you don’t realize is that you’ve been propagandized even more than the Chinese people themselves.

I’ve had my fair share of mini-mind blowns, and that time I realized this was one of them.

You’re confusing Dessalines for Nutomic.

I don’t have a boot in my mouth, and nobody asked you to believe state media. In fact the links I posted were Western corporate media and the United Nations. You’re raging over a straw man you’ve made up in your head.

He is a hack, but probably not in the way that you think.

Sometimes he’s right, though.

Bullshit articles about China are a de rigueur for Western media, because god forbid you should encounter the threat of a good example.

Last time I checked, there were still not few people living in abject poverty in China and a shitload of people being worked for less than a living wage.

How long ago was that?

• United Nations Secretary-General, 2019: Helping 800 Million People Escape Poverty Was Greatest Such Effort in History, Says Secretary-General, on Seventieth Anniversary of China’s Founding
• Reuters, 2018, China overtakes U.S. for healthy lifespan: WHO data
• The Economist, 2021: At 54, China’s average retirement age is too low
• Bloomberg, 2024: China’s Energy Use Per Person Surpasses Europe’s for First Time

Also whats with the rooftop safety nets at Chinese factories.

That wasn’t a common thing, it’s not a thing now, and it was the result of Foxconn’s illegal labor practices which the “authoritarian” state has since put the kibosh on.

Also China has like the second most billionaires in the world. What kind of “socialist” state is fine with having billionaires?

On the off-chance that your question isn’t rhetorical, previously.

It’s a program certainly, but “just a program” is a bit misleading because it places it on the same footing as Doom or cat or an Arduino project. Linux is a ring 0 program, which processors give unique treatment.

I don’t know and am too lazy to go read the code, but it probably overwrites because that’s the easiest and most efficient way, and there’s nothing to be gained by retaining the old versions in this case.
