The joke is that people say that some of us defend China because we are paid by the CPC. However, we defend China because we are communists and China is a socialist country that is helping the global south. We defend the international proletariat because we are communists not because we are paid.
I’m sorry, but you fell for lies and propaganda. China is an authoritarian state capitalism that uses its its money for buying influence in the global south with colonialistic intent. No difference to western nations, just way more authoritarian.
Even if that’s true, isn’t it better for countries in the global South to have multiple options instead of being forced to accept whatever conditions are imposed on them by the IMF?
Oh my, sweet and soft virgin Trump, I can’t even imagine. 🤣
Is China socialist? In China, we usually don’t say it that way. We say “socialism with Chinese characteristics,” which is a system more “suitable for China’s conditions.” We believe China is in the primary stage of socialism, where the key focus is on liberating and developing productive forces. You might think China isn’t socialist because it has wealth gaps, labor-capital conflicts, and materialistic marriages (currently, the “Fat Cat Incident” is a hot topic in China). However, China is also working on poverty alleviation (not just distributing food like relief, but arranging jobs and creating positions for poor households) and promoting “common prosperity” (when the government wants companies to help advance “common prosperity,” if they refuse, the government makes things difficult for them).When a country has nothing, how can it redistribute wealth? The current situation in China can be summarized by a statement from the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China: “The principal contradiction in Chinese society is that between the people’s ever-growing needs for a better life and unbalanced and inadequate development.” This contradiction exists between the eastern and western regions, urban and rural areas, and high-end high-salary and low-end low-salary jobs, among other aspects.
I think the joke is that you seem to actually think that they are communist. Nothing wrong with being communist yourself, but their government is communist in name alone.
No, i know more but china perfects the capitalism. Everybody does everything to make themself as rich as possible by any means.
America doesn’t have large factories in which workers work for a few dollars (and by that i mean something like 100 dollars) per month and have to work long shifts.
America doesn’t have cheap and life threatening materials either.
If I could get paid every time I said something good about the CCP, I would be rich by now. However, on the Chinese internet, there are people who offer 3 RMB per post to delete comments that praise the CCP. 🤣
I’m sorry that I didn’t realize the difference between CPC and CCP at first. Now I understand that CPC is the official term used by China, while CCP is more commonly used in Western countries. Since my English proficiency is limited to reading, I used ChatGPT to help with the translation, which caused some errors. In China, the CPC has a more down-to-earth nickname among the people: “土共” (Tugong), which translates to “Dirt Communists” or “Local Communists.” This nickname is widely used because of the CPC’s extensive and profound grassroots foundation, and its pragmatic, farmer-like image.
Every fucking time! I just know that whenever I see this guy on a post, this comment will be the first one I see. “He dOseN’T DeseRVe a MemE teMPlaTe” like it’s some big fucking honor for your picture to be posted on Lemmy with some random fucking text. Nobody fucking cares!
No, I personally don’t care.I also think it’s kind of a dumb thing to care about. Just as you should learn to separate art from artist, you should also learn to separate dirt bag from meme.
The dudes wife left him and his career is ruined, IIRC, we won. If you go off Everytime you see the widely popular meme all you’re doing is wearing yourself out with anger because you can’t educate every single person on the Internet and i promise you it will never stop happening.
No, it’s more tongue-in-cheek. 🤥 You unfortunately can’t, but what I do is export the backup of Kvaesitso from my tablet, sync it with syncthing to my phone, and then restore the backup on my phone. Despite not having all the apps on my phone that I have on my tablet, it loads perfectly. Any apps that are not listed just get ignored and there are no broken icons/links. So it very loosely is like my NixOS setup, getting two different Android versions to feel similar. That’s the most uniform method I have been able to come up with.
IIRC Sony allowed Linux to be ran on both the PS2 and PS3 so that they could sell the systems as computers in the US instead of video game consoles, since computers have a lower import tax rate compared fo video game systems.
This was, of course, until Sony removed OtherOS support in the PS3 firmware 3.21 on phat models after shipping Slim units without OtherOS and then got sued for it. It was removed because George Hotz found an exploit in OtherOS that allowed for full access to the hardware, as OtherOS did not have full access to the GPU hardware of the PS3. Ironically, this made the PS3 more of a target to hackers, since hackers generally just want to be able to run homebrew on their devices that they bought. This is why the Xbox One and Series consoles were never hacked, since they allow for homebrew via DevMode.
The tax loophole was a perceived reason, but it was never proven to be true. The closest admission to it was Sony losing a lawsuit related to the situation and Sony admitting that something related to Yabasic was intended to skirt EU tax law, not Linux for PS2. I never heard of Yabasic before today.
Fun fact, Geohot owns a company that jailbreaks cars and their adaptive cruise control systems now.
I like this post and find it generally helpful however feel the last line about why Xbox One hasn’t been emulated yet is in my opinion both opinion and speculation, which is fine –
I think the community could come up with some robust counter arguments about why this hasnt occured yet, maybe there not being interest due to catalog overlap between Xbox and Windows PC since the OS is basically a custom Windows with a custom Direct X, as is the case for Xbox Y2K, and Xbox 360 and has been put into a virtual machine AFAIK via Xemu and Xenia. Following that legacy, Xbox fans have always seemed slower than other fans to emulate their consoles – for whatever reason.
Eh, I assume there are a phenomenal number of job descriptions that are just copy-pasted over. Native [language] speaker, 5+ years coding experience in [framework that’s been around for 3 years], etc.
Soon it will be a honeypot to filter AI generated applications. I can exclude the resumes of applicants who claim to meet my bogus desired qualification.
Someone once told me their grandparents in Brazil were part of a community where Latin was spoken as the primary language, but I can’t find any information about it online in English.
imo, this is the line where it starts bleeding over from anti-zionism to anti-jewish. Does Netanyahu need to go? Yes, absolutely. Does most of the current government need to go? Yeah, them too. But saying that the entire country has to go?? Where do all those Israeli civilians go? Do they get the same treatment as the Palestinians because they “deserve it”? Obviously not, because that treatment is exactly what so many people are protesting against. It’s the Israeli government that needs to go.
Strange take. Presumably if Israel was replaced with a non-ethnostate, Jewish citizens of that state would get the same rights and treatment as every other citizen.
If the USA tried to again be a White/European ethnostate and allow anyone with Caucasian heritage to immigrate and barred everyone else from immigrating, then no one today would accept that.
And if they went full on apartheid and started putting natives and minorities in locked down ever-shrinking reservations, people would really lose their shit.
When white nationalists try to advocate for such policies, they are rightfully criticized for being racist.
I can never understand why Israel gets special treatment in that regard.
The USA is a settler state, tf are you talking about mate? Or does it require someone from a ex-colony to explain you the what’s and how’s?
Ecocide? Very much visible, many lakes and forests have been destroyed and polluted, lands have been turned into concrete jungle of highways.
Linguicide? Obviously, no one speaks and practices the language and culture of the native Americans in their own land. Can you? No, English is not their language.
Apartheid? Areas where the native Americans live are very underdeveloped. Their right to vote is suppressed. Access to healthcare is abysmal. Isn’t that apartheid?
Poverty? Yes, the Native American is the most impoverished groups in the USA.
Political representation? Almost nonexistent compared to other groups. Name a few popular native American politician, I’ll wait.
Right to self-determination? Most of their lands are under the control of imperialist white men and their crony capitalist buddies.
The USA is the most unhinged form of evolutionary neo-colonialist project, a produced of primitive capitalism gone rogue and rabid, mimicking the “success” of the East India companies by colonizer European states. Death to imperialism, death to America.
This is a Hasbara take on things. The white people from South Africa didn’t disappeared after the apartheid state got dissolved. There were Jewish people in Palestine before Israel was established. Palestinian people have never had an issue treating Jewish people as equals. The only apartheid state in the region has always been Israel.
This is a revisionist view that requires ignoring a lot of historical facts. Almost a million Jews were expelled from MENA countries in the 20th century, many of whom survived only by escaping to Israel. The Palestinian Authoriry has never accepted any status for Jews. Christians, Muslims, Druze, yes, but no Jews.
Meanwhile, there are about 2 million Arab citizens (mostly Muslim) of Israel who are entitled to equal rights, including government subsidized Churches and Mosques.

Plus Arabic being an official language, same status as Hebrew.
People calling it an ethnostate have never been there or arguing in bad faith. It’s obvious.
Not that any of this has to do with the current atrocities in any way. But some people can’t help themselves but to paint the country in a bad way. Which is kind of some because that’s super easy right now. Guess some people just want to go the extra mile.
This is horseshit. Regardless of whatever it might say on paper, the indigenous peoples obviously don’t have equal rights with the Western settlers, and the indigenous Arabic language obviously doesn’t have equal standing with the newly-resurrected Hebrew. In practice not even the indigenous Jews have equal rights with the Western settlers, nor do the Ethiopian settlers.
Being entitled to equal rights doesn’t mean they actually get them. It also doesn’t account for the fact that many Palestinians are denied citizenship or remain in occupied territories controlled by Israel and explicitly not guaranteed equal rights
The comprehensive report, Israel’s Apartheid against Palestinians: Cruel System of Domination and Crime against Humanity, sets out how massive seizures of Palestinian land and property, unlawful killings, forcible transfer, drastic movement restrictions, and the denial of nationality and citizenship to Palestinians are all components of a system which amounts to apartheid under international law. This system is maintained by violations which Amnesty International found to constitute apartheid as a crime against humanity, as defined in the Rome Statute and Apartheid Convention.
The white people didn’t disappear alltogether, but a lot of them did emigrate. Jewish people are kind of unique in the way that they face hostility everywhere outside Israel, so that’s not really an option for them.
This is not true. Many of them have emigrated back to their country of origin since October 7th, 2023. Many of them have more than one citizenship and were not even born in Israel, and many of them are new converts. The IOF has been enlisting new converts like there is no tomorrow from all over the world since October 7th. The ones who have no place to go are the Palestinians who are also currently being genocide.
