The company “was once forced to close down, like other companies across a number of industries, because it could not compete against large quantities of goods that China was exporting at artificially depressed prices,” Yellen said.

regardless of what you think of him, Deng Xiaoping was the guy in a way that pretty much no other human is gonna be for the unfolding of the 21st century

My understanding is that it means going, loosely, to the opposite side of the state of the major metropolitan area in that state. Upstate NY is the northwest part, upstate MA is the west part, upstate PA is the northeast part. I’m looking around, and it seems to also 1) only be used on a few states, 2) usually is on the north half (but not always), and 3) is somewhat interchangable with “rural”.

Whether or not this is true, which I’m not going to address, DPRK is 1) not a settler colonial state, 2) not doing apartheid, and 3) not in the process of growing their own borders into neighboring territory, which are three very large and important differences to consider no matter how you feel about DPRK

It’s because you’re not using the same muscle groups. Simply set the pickle jar on the ground, put your power foot on the jar, grip the lid, and heave with your entire lower back and glutes in the open direction

why even bother denying the apartheid allegations? Just own it Bibi, it’s not like anyone will hold you accountable

I kind of think you’d have a different tune if this were Putin to be honest, wanna talk about why? In my mind, all of the appeals to civility are just status quo worship veiled in “human decency” that 1) doesn’t consider the good that would be brought to the world by his passing and 2) isn’t extended to anyone outside of the status quo power structure.

Not only is @jacksilver right, but additionally, this article is extremely biased in favor of Xorg and is much more of a (completely unfair and one-sided) take-down of Wayland oriented at technical folks and not at all an explainer for laypeople

There’s one key thing that he also said he wouldn’t let stop him:

I wonder why they left out of the headline that he also said that he wouldn’t let The Hague stop him 🤔

Taiwan claims way, way more territory than that

https://lemmygrad.ml/pictrs/image/ff309689-bbb1-48a8-b08d-036a69972cd6.png

You don’t like China claiming Taiwan? Surely if illegitimate land claims are bad, you have issues with Taiwan for claiming China, Mongolia, Russia, Pakistan, India, and more, right?

social credit is just gen Xs’ and millennials’ rebrand of orientalism and yellow peril. Boomers just called it called it China’s tentacles. It’s beaten to death and it wasn’t funny when it was brand new. Find new material to veil your orientalism please, this one’s all used up

Social credit, insofar as it actually exists, is barely any different from a criminal record, and certainly less restrictive than that combined with a FICO score and an advertiser’s profile.

the racist thing is Americans calling literally any other country in the world “authoritarian” because the way they do it doesn’t involve police apprehending you for failing to pay your Big Mac microloan

America has 4% of the world population and 25% of it’s prison population. Over a quarter of our prisoners are held with no trial and a majority are held on nonviolent charges. America has the largest military in the world and has used it to exact more death than any other nation on the planet today. America has the Patriot Act, the TSA, the CIA, and the FBI. Any discussion about authoritarianism that does not start and end with America is an unfounded attack on every other nation mentioned, and that’s usually gonna be american exceptionalism and prejudice against whoever the other nation is.

it must be nice, living a life so simple that you can build your reality by only listening to the people who come from a place you like.

dyed purple hair is a right-wing dogwhistle for “SJW man-hating feminist”, who are more often leftists than they are liberals. You don’t have any issues with social justice or feminism, do you?

One party where a basic platform is defined and differences are expressed vibrantly on top of that is better than two parties that brand themselves as different but only offer a couple of aesthetic differences and concessions to keep people mad at the opposing party and not the underlying structure

friend. You’re so worried about a one party system because you’re thinking of American parties. You know how Mike Bloomberg and Bernie Sanders are both ran under the same party? In a proper single party state there’s more range than that.
