chinese platform tencent (which is also the company that owns riot games) deleted all caitvi romantic scenes in china so dont be surprised if you see some random homophobic idiot on the internet denying caitvi being gay

[shut-up-rabert]

Gotta love how the gay rights, women’s rights, anti racism, anti classism, labour rights, islamophobia of this entire website go to hell when countries like China are concerned.

Is communism really all that important to you that you can ignore all the horrors these people are doing?

Is it that your propaganda of “communism good capitalism bad” really needs to be the only one heard, so the condition of workers in Shein and other companies is hindering you as you protest why communism gives labours rights?

Is your idea of every communist nation being utter utopia so fragile that the reality of horrors in that country really need to be muted?

I don’t know man, it feels to me that you guys are “putting your worldviews over people’s lives”.

That sound familiar?

I hate Xiaomi SO MUCH

It's been weeks of attempts to unlock the bootloader so I can root my phone and finally get full access to Android/data, yet I can't get through the "Application quota limit reached, please try again after [xx/xx]" no matter how early I request it even if I'm punctual with Chinese time zone

I just wanted to play Minecraft in my world

Huawei’s New Tri-Fold Phone Broke in a Day! Glitches Abound, a Chorus of complaints and mass returns. To anyone who tries to claim China’s technology is superiors i present you this, a phone inferior to Apple and who’s primary novelty feature makes the phone hilariously easy to break. China is not living in the future, the longer the Technology Blockade is up the more antiquated China’s civilian and military technology becomes. Meanwhile Taiwan is the leading producer of cutting edge chips with a technology sector that rivals even giants like America. Don’t fall for CCP propaganda, keep Taiwan free!!

So, a year now. A year in the life of Ukraine and her people. A very hard year, a devastatingly horrid year that didn't have to happen. It began with a telling sign of how determined Ukrainians are to keep their land, state, and peace of mind. "Russian warship, go fuck yourself." So telling of the Ukrainian spirit that it was made into a stamp. One I wear today. And it's something I feel strongly about as well.

At least Boris Johnson got one thing right, "you don't negotiate with an alligator that's eating your leg." Many other leaders and would be leaders of countries not currently being invaded condemn Zelenskyy for not negotiating, fuck that shit. To any American who thinks Ukraine should stop fighting I say fuck that shit.

I'm about to reblog some posts my wife made that really hit hard on me. Hit hard because they make me think through my own comfortable status as an adult white male and the privileges that are inherent in this society because this country existed for millennia as not America. Do I really understand that? Probably not, or at least not to the extent others (non-whites) do. All I can do is take others' point of view as real and valid.

Which is why I stand so firmly behind the Ukrainian people. When Zelenskyy says Ukraine is fighting for its freedom, European freedom and the very life of democracy, I believe it. I believe it because I know the the history of colonialism, I see from the inside how a democracy is subverted by fascism, and I fear for this people- the "others", others meaning any non-white heterosexual male person.

I'm not saying be consumed by fear and hatred, I'm saying live your life purposefully. Take your joys and live them deliciously. Look into life's heart every day and live for the ones who can't. Ukrainian soldiers have told their people over and over, we want you to live your lives, drink your coffees, gather together for celebrations, that is what we are fighting for, that is the life waiting for us when we have defeated this enemy.

Slava Ukraine

Once again the current British government (Labour) is being fucking weak

And making this once great nation weak by giving away our overseas territory to potential enemies

Fucking useless fucks

[mellow-sandwich]

Tankies will unironically say both “the Tiananmen square massacre didn’t happen” and “it did but the protesters started it” in the same breath. They live in this ethereal world of it didn’t happen because the party said so and it did happen but the counter-revolutionaries were the instigators so we should celebrate it.

Anyway they banned me from r/communism and r/sino 4 years ago today

Healthcare pls

[shotmrmiller]

the trope of you accidentally catching a peek of someone having sex with another and instead of fucking off you stick around and hope they don't find out except they already know but:

you're roommates with active military soap and it works because he's hardly there, he's real easy to be friends with and when his hands wander it's not totally repulsive because he's hot.

and then he brings his boyfriend over and you'd only meant to get some ice cream from the freezer but they left the door cracked open. you, as the good friend he doesn't fucking deserve, close the door while keeping your eyes glued to the ceiling and go about your day.

(you're so teasing him about the fact that he sounds like a bleating sheep while getting rawdogged lmaoooo)

but the one that catches you in the kitchen minding your own business isn't soap. it's his boyfriend. and his boyfriend is as forward as a freight train on a downhill slope.

"saw ya lookin' at us."

? you did no such thing.

"if ya were lookin' for a fuck, coulda just said so."

you were doing no such thing but it doesn't matter because you're but a simple hot blooded individual and having two doting meat heads fighting over who gets to taste you first is something out of a romance book.

LET ME EXPLAIN

Economic growth is based off of a balance between utilitarianism and deontology (opposite of utilitarianism). The more utilitarian an economic system is, the more you can expect the economy to grow, but the more you can expect average lifespan and happiness to go down.

China's economy grows so quickly because of utilitarianism. Everyone who is able to work has to, no matter of age. Not only that, they use sweatshops for almost all jobs, which leads to horrible working conditions everywhere. The well-being of workers is not considered at all. Plus, when you take into account the massive population of China, this all leads to a very bad way to have fast economic growth.

America's economy, on the other hand, is in no way better. Although it does have almost double the improvement of working conditions, you would expect our economy growth to be half that of China's (double money spent on working conditions, half money growth in economy). However, this is not the case, and it is actually 6 times less than China's.

So where does the extra money go? The answer, as we all expected, is to rich people. The extra money that would normally be spent on economic growth is instead fed to the rich. Because of how capitalism works, class is based off of money. The rich, in order to get richer, must get more money, and feed off of the economy in order to get richer.

Communism, on the other hand, has its class system based off of social credit. Social credit, while shown as simple usually, is actually quite unsimple. What is important in this case is that, and I cannot stress this enough, it is impossible* to gain power through any legal means. There is no reason for the people in power to keep their workers down, because they will be shot if they try to compete with you. For this reason, they have good means to make whatever contributions they can to the people in order to try and keep them "happy". That usually involves something that grows the economy instead of something to actually make people happy because of how utilitarian the country is.

In conclusion, both forms of economy suck in different ways. China has potential to be much better if it can deal with its population crisis without mass genocide, and capitalism doesn't even work in theory.

*ok so its not actually impossible per say, but it wont ever happen without being born into power
