yogthos , 3 months ago to worldnews in Taiwan will tear down all remaining statues of Chiang Kai-shek in public spaces

Same argument could be applied to the people like Robert E. Lee who cemented their place in history. It’s just that they happen to be on the wrong side of history just as Chiang Kai-shek is.

Good thing that the system in China is in the hands of the working majority. If you look at how Chinese political system is structured it becomes clear that it’s not in fact in the hands of a small group of people.

yogthos , 3 months ago to worldnews in Poland: We’re ready to host nuclear weapons

We’re slowly but surely moving towards a solution for global warming.

Russia had the equipment (and a lot more) to lose. It’s quite realistic.

We’re talking about manpower here. It literally takes years to train an effective tank crew for example. If Russia was losing troops and equipment at the rate you imagine, then they’d be out of trained soldiers real fast.

How you can consider a two year war where none of the original goals have been met a success is beyond me.

What goals weren’t met, please cite goals that Russia set that aren’t being met.

But by all means. Keep cheering on Putin sending his people into a meat grinder in his pathetic 20th century war of conquest.

By all means keep believing nonsense if that helps you cope.

yogthos OP , 3 months ago to memes in This is not REAL capitalism!

That’s only an issue if you’re illiterate. Capitalism is defined as a dictatorship of the capital owning class, and communism is defined as a dictatorship of the working class. It’s not complicated. Meanwhile, disagreements that can’t translate into tangible action are worthless. Capitalist countries regularly assassinate communists who actually gain political power. See Fred Hampton and MLK as primary examples of this.

Also a very good point.

Yes, visually confirming the same pieces of equipment over to convince gullible people of what they already want to believe. My favorite part about oryx is how they stopped reporting losses once Ukraine ran out of old Soviet equipment that they couldn’t pass off as Russian losses. All of a sudden when Ukraine started using primarily western equipment, oryx decided it was time to step away. 😂

If these figures had any basis in reality, Russia would’ve collapsed a long time ago. The fact that you genuinely believe that Russia lost tens of thousands of pieces of military hardware along with the trained troops that operated them, and it’s still somehow winning shows that you’re utterly incapable of rational thought.

LMFAO using oryx as proof of anything, these clowns have been completely discredited and yet here we have you still guzzling propaganda out of a firehose. archive.ph/a1ID3

yogthos OP , 3 months ago to science in Insects and Other Animals Have Consciousness, Experts Declare

I mean you’d absolutely expect that if a neural net that creates a model of the world and itself within that world, then you would end up with some form of self awareness as a result. You’d expect degrees of fidelity, but it seems strange to think of consciousness as an on/off switch. It’s much more plausible that it’s a gradient, especially in animals that have a neural feedback loop where the brain has proprioceptory feedback from the body and can correlate intent to do an action.

I get the impression that people just like feeling that humanity is special somehow, and also use the notion that animals don’t have self awareness to justify the horrors that humans enact upon other animals.

Ah yes, Russian propaganda as reported by mainstream western media. Those Putler puppets have now infiltrated once respected publications like NYT and WSJ. 🤡

you’re right there are just so many weird coincidences, like this one for example counterpunch.org/…/the-u-s-did-not-defeat-fascism…

yogthos , 3 months ago to worldnews in Congress passes bill that could unlock billions in frozen Russian assets for Ukraine

Imagine still guzzling propaganda uncritically after two whole years. If any of this was true, Russia would’ve collapsed long ago as the west was hoping.
