  • Up until the last decade wars were mostly fought due to resources that were needed to survive. We only recently have been able to perfect agriculture output to feed the entire world several times over.

    Unfortunately, we have not been allowed to transition to a more humanitarian based economic system. Most world powers are still operating on imperialism and capitalist exploitation. At least in the past conflicts were often inevitable results of scarcity (or the fear of it at least).

    I would give humanity more time. We need to weed out the parasites of capitalism and nationalism. We are living in an age that is struggling against them. Keep faith in that struggle. It likely will not end in our lifetimes. The true meaning of life is to plant trees under whose shade you do not expect to be able sit.

    Don’t lose faith comrade.






  • It’s not so much values as it is a lack of power in the working class. These things can be done because the greater population has no power or influence. Since their is no organization to resist it the mass of the population falls into two areas of “cope”. The crowd that knows it’s fucked up and has no one to organize against it. And the crowd that knows it’s fucked up but “no one is doing anything” so they find a place to normalize or deny it. It’s not “really” a Nazi salute.

    You may call this “values”. But I’d say it’s more about how well the ruling class has controlled and passified the population.

    Also, when half the country is worried about putting food on the table or paying rent. They really don’t have time to give a fuck. Material conditions really shape what we might perceive as a “lack of values”.

    You realize arguing against your own strawman is not addressing my argument right? I guess you just convinced yourself that I actually said “any type of insult is acceptable”. I never said that. YOU said that. Everything you’ve said since then has been pointless rambling and arguing against something I never said.



  • 10,000 people detained out of how many tourists worldwide going to china? Like, I’m just trying to get some context because (1) a massive amount of people visit China every year and (2) how does this compare to other countries. A person being “detained” could literally just be a traffic stop or any other interaction with a police officer.

    I guess my point is the article is purposely vague. How would this compare per tourist to the US for example?

    Also, what you’re mentioning is not at all what I mentioned originally. Which was about the article and Taiwan. You changed the subject to worldwide in order to make the number larger. Which, obviously it would be.

    Edit: Asking about actual per capita comparison between countries is bad apparently. I guess “China bad” is heavier than getting actual data. Something this article completely fails to provide.




  • Tell me. What is the difference between the swastika or the salute? I’m gonna guess the main difference is you haven’t read 100 reply guys trying to come up with any reason to deny he’s a Nazi. Do you know who does that? Nazis. Nazis know that it’s still not expectable to be a Nazi. So they will always try to get you to “not believe your lying eyes”. While always doing dog whistles to signal to other Nazis. But this salute wasn’t a dog whistle. It was a fucking mega phone.

    Thanks for ignoring everything I said and responding with a straw man. Good job.

    “Nuh uh. You are! And here’s a totally different thing that removes all nuance so I can ignore what you just said!”

    That’s literally how you just replied. I guess you have no interest in actually discussing this because you’ve gone full circle into stupidity now.
