China is a very large country and a lot of different ethnic groups. You don’t see them because they have no mobility, aren’t featured in Chinese media and the CCP really doesn’t like them. Their idea of cultural “unity” is to convert everyone to Han.
I’m decrying this AND the racists that demand everyone speak English in America. The American racists will probably say that this is fine because it’s Chinese governing Chinese, so long as they stay in China.
For anyone that thinks 9/11 was an inside job, why didn’t they do another for Trump?
Bush IICheney at least knew to wait for a tragedy to stage an illegal war. Hegseth here can’t fathom why he can’t garner the same sort of support.
They did remove their “Do no evil” guarantee.
It’s shows me right wing grifters all the time when I never engage with politics on youtube.
Epstein seemed like the type to try getting involved in as many people’s issues as possible.
On the surface, Cross Ange is just another fanservice mech anime. The first few episodes will filter out a lot of people before of the gore.
If you stick with it, you get one of the more aggressively feminist anime out there. And I do mean aggressive. Every character arc is a metaphor for something women either have to deal with primarily or exclusively in society. The show actively punishes the female characters who can’t recognize themselves as victims and rewards the ones who do and work to fix their situations. The final villain is an incel power fantasy. I’ve seen next to no discussion on Cross Ange in this context online.
If I have to choose between buying into a US run surveillance state or buying into a Chinese run surveillance state, I choose to buy neither.
You could, idk, maybe not buy prepackaged surveillance camera that rely on someone else’s computer to work.
The idea that in the past hundred years or so, a mud flood wiped out a global, advanced society and the world governments are suppressing the truth. It got a recent resurgence on tiktok.
Other people have already confirmed he was a racist, but think Clinical Xenophobe is a more apt distinction. He was a unconformable around minorities, but he was also unconformable about the ocean and the color violet. And he wrote about his discomfort. He didn’t write political manifests. This isn’t a case of separating the art from the artist, but seeing the art to see the broken person behind it.
That one was full mask off. Couldn’t be explained by someone trolling. Couldn’t even be explained by a profit motive. Just an attention seeking child.
especially since most other people would probably be less effort to track down.

I have politically active friends who are supposedly privacy minded blasting their takes on facebook and complaining when they get banned for inciting violence. Most people are terrible at this and the algos the feds use probably aren’t that great. I’m more likely to get grabbed randomly.
I’ve always isolated my username from irl stuff and I don’t make any social media posts from my irl stuff. You’d have to be very interested in me specifically and I’ve always tried to be slightly less noisy then the background noise.
now your opinions are based on that bad experience instead of reality.
The fuck does this mean? How is my experience not reality? What else are my opinions suppose to be based on, if not my experience?
Reddit was showing signs of introducing a more algo based experience, so I fucked off. They would hardly be the first website I left because of shit like that.
I used reddit long before the /r/thedonald showed up. Before /r/atheism became a default sub, which was terrible for the community of that sub. It became meme infested and caused /r/trueatheism to be made for sharing stories about religion intolerance from politicians, educators and employers. At a certain point, I started wholesale blocking any major sub and power user to reclaim some usability, but the API change signaled to me it wasn’t worth the effort anymore.
A lot of lemmy users are ex reddit users and have reason they switched. I switched because it started looking more and more like twitter.
They’re a global super power. They’re going to be shitty about it.
