LLM slop is LLM slop. Nobody brought up nationalist illusions/exceptionalism but your spicy autocorrect.

Yes, I understood that. I’d be more willing to be convinced in the 420 case, because the stakes are so low. Unlike being a Nazi, nobody gets punched in the face for being a stoner.

88 is so much worse that I wouldn’t even compare then to the anodyne 420 & 69 examples.

I see, your feeding us LLM slop. What was the prompt you gave it?

Why are you so knowledgeable of plausible deniabilities for a Nazi symbology?

Unlike the US economy, China’s economy is not in a time of crisis, and all polls recent polls—even Western polls—show that the Chinese people are rather content with the progression of their material conditions and with their government. Unlike in the US in particular and the highly & still-increasingly neoliberalized imperial core in general, there is no urgency to “divert” the proletariat into consumerism or reactionary politics. Divert them from what? From their steadily improving quality of life, their rising incomes and falling costs-of-living? From their 25,000 miles of high speed rail?

You’re simply projecting our dire situation onto China. But Americans going on RedNote right now are seeing that their situation is quite different from ours. To our bourgeoisie, it is a threat of a good example that they don’t want us to see.

Edit to add: Also, TikTok is majority owned by US private equity, run by US & Singaporean executives, and hosted by Oracle cloud infrastructure on the US soil. Forbes: Never Forget That TikTok Is Already American Owned. The Chinese state and Trump in collusion sounds like recycled BlueAnonsense to me.

Do you feel like you’ve said something profound? Or really said anything at all?

Did you come here to make an actual point or just to lay up gotcha questions? Because your human rights concern troll wankery is weak tea in the face an ongoing genocide supported by the imperial core.

Damn, it’s so nice that nobody invented sarcastic vagueposting yet.

It was imperial core neocolonialists who fucked them the first time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_therapy_(economics)#Post-Soviet_states

The tech sector is gloming onto the Trump train 🤷

Unless you like being disappointed, don’t expect better from CEOs. CEOs are on Trump’s side of the class war. The “little guys” he’s talking about are not the working class, they’re the petite bourgeoisie.

It could be better, and compared to some parts of the US, it is better.

It’s funny to lament the erosion of checks and balances: they’re one of the reasons the US is not and has never been a democracy. Why the US Government Can’t Get Anything Done

I never heard of the ISHR. They seem to be cagey about their funding sources 🤔

The actual UN OHCHR report is a one-pager that provides no detail or evidence to back up its mention of “limited access” and “fear of reprisals”: https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-briefing-notes/2024/08/china-update-work-un-human-rights-office

Weak tea.

ETA: Looking deeper, the funding seems to mostly come from NATO & NATO “partner” governments and the Ford Foundation.

Yes, the CFR is a major coordination org between the Atlanticist corporations, governments, and NGOs, with the US leading, as it does.

Unsurprisingly, the site has Adrian Zenz’s mitts all over it: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=site%3Axinjiangpolicefiles.org+"zenz"

A project of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation.

😂

I was talking about the dot-com technology of 30 years ago, not the 8-bit microchip technology of ~50 years ago.

These don’t count, silly.

When the US does it, each case is an individual, isolated, aberrant deviation from the norm, indicative of no pattern.

When “authoritarian” states do it, that’s completely different. Each of those cases is indicative of the malevolent norm.

Liberating Tibetans from depraved, illiterate serfdom under Tibetan monarchy?[1][2]

Liberating Uyghurs from CIA-backed terrorists’ attacks?[1][2][3]

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s another impotent liberal “gotcha”
