    How do you see the U.S. provably do all the shit like this that you think China does, rather overtly for the sake of profits for its corporations, and still think to yourself that things like this are either 1) true or 2) something that you should give a shit about anyway?

    Like it’s been literally 200 years of looting the world for profits and there’s so much information known about this, like, from admission from the United states’s own historical documents (in case you’re too stupid to watch what they do and understand their motive, like a grade schooler could) but you’re all over here freaking out about Chinese solar panels spying on you, maybe, for reasons I’m sure you could never begin to articulate

    I wanted to just tell you to die, so, this is me being overly polite to you

    No, that’s Why Socialism?

    Fun fact, but under capitalism, you don’t really get to vote at all! You are only cleverly lied to and foolishly believe the alternative

    Private capital tends to become concentrated in few hands, partly because of competition among the capitalists, and partly because technological development and the increasing division of labor encourage the formation of larger units of production at the expense of smaller ones. The result of these developments is an oligarchy of private capital the enormous power of which cannot be effectively checked even by a democratically organized political society. This is true since the members of legislative bodies are selected by political parties, largely financed or otherwise influenced by private capitalists who, for all practical purposes, separate the electorate from the legislature. The consequence is that the representatives of the people do not in fact sufficiently protect the interests of the underprivileged sections of the population. Moreover, under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information (press, radio, education). It is thus extremely difficult, and indeed in most cases quite impossible, for the individual citizen to come to objective conclusions and to make intelligent use of his political rights.

    Every single thing einstein said here has only gotten infinitely worse over time, which should surprise literally nobody who learns that capital accumulates

    yeah defend the tibetan serfdom under the llamas, the mutilations and repression, that is exactly the same as China building high speed rail and power generation (always framed as “to further exploit Tibet” because you invest a shitload into infrastructure to make people slaves m i rite)

    eat shit, liberal, if you refuse to read and educate yourself

    it’s always the same instances with the worst libs on lemmy, aside from .world
