Yeah they’re not going to use the word genocide without a pretty strict set of criteria being met by an international court. They don’t use that word on non-western countries either.

But it is nice to see they repeatedly condemn Israel’s actions on that page, which you didn’t quote.

“Western MSM” includes CBC, AFP, NPO… that’s such a huge brush to paint with.

Socialism, traditionally defined, involves some form of collective or public ownership of the means of production. Universal healthcare, labor protections, welfare programs, and unions do not inherently require that.

Universal healthcare and other social programs are, in a democracy, an example of the public owning the means of producing healthcare or other industries.

I do find it weird that we are taught here in Canada, and I assume most other western countries, that Hitler was the worst human being in history. And then I hear Mao had a higher score?

So can non-Chinese reporters and journalists come in and check and make sure that reality is true?

China’s quality of life for its people has been rising by leaps and bounds in the past fifty years.

You have a long way to leap when you start out so far behind.

Don’t forget the main reason western countries moved all their manufacturing there is because of their lack of labour rights.

And thirdly, the western countries’ refusal to speak out against Israel’s genocide in Gaza, Jordan and Lebanon has turned most of lemmy against their governments.

You’re lumping in a whole lot of countries with America and England there.

Almost like that’s the whole point of the anti “West” thing.

The internet has been largely anti-west since as long as I can remember, but the pro-CCP thing is newer.

Part of it is because they’re one of the only “flag carriers” of socialism, so to speak, and that blinds some really desperate socialists who can’t see they are about as far from socialism as America.

Conan was right, this shit is beyond satire and it just seems weird to see comedians try to take it on.

Maybe below the cockles. Maybe in the sub-cockle area.

You mean you guys don’t rotate between 10 free accounts and use their monthly quotas?

I’m not American, but yes, the USA is rapidly becoming much like China.

China says

China, you have lied to me too many times.

China will use the drinking water, tell everyone they’re using the oceans water, and then arrest anyone who tries to report on their crimes.

I got a problem with the anti-honey people.

Bees consent.

Does it tell you where the bread goes? I put bread in, and toast comes out. I just wanna know what happened to the bread.

without AI. Same amount of work

You want me to write an entire library for a brand new sensor that just came off the market, by parsing through and reading a hundred page datasheet manual, understanding i2c or SPI communication timings, configuration packets, etc…

When I can just drag and drop the PDF into ChatGPT and say “make a library for this sensor” and it spits out something that has been working without issue for the past 2 years?

Why? Why would I be that stupid?

Talk about it. With your friends and coworkers.

“a corporate dictatorships ruled by an oligarchy and political class of mentally ill narcissists and pedophiles”?

See Canada, most of western Europe, etc. Or just talk to people.

I live in Canada, where a lot more is social democratic and a lot less is capitalist.
