Well yes poverty in North Korea is real, but not because she said so

This is probably true

I believe this is the philosophy of liberalism. They say capitalism can be useful but the state must keep it in check. As long as government can ultimately keep the reins on capitalism and under control, you get the optimum prosperity and social welfare. China experienced great economic growth when it turned to economic liberalism.

B-but America…!

What’s wrong with the compiler Rust already has

I mean, you’d have to be evil to support the invasion, regardless of being a socialist or not.

I don’t speak it, but given how popular it is, I imagine someone on Earth has already run into another speaker randomly in person.

If you’re talking online, then yeah it happens all the time.

It’s crap, I can tell you that. My cousin studies in Moscow and came back for the summer. He visited us today and he was telling us how he hates it there because the entire system is messed up. He also kept saying there isn’t a more racist and Nazi country on Earth than Russia.

Wow, Lemmy without federation? That doesn’t sound like Lemmy! :)

When are we getting stickers?

Gosh why even fork Lemmy?

Russia is the real source of fascism. As I mentioned elsewhere, today I met with an old colleague who lives in Russia. He repeats any/all political propaganda he sees on TV. Somewhere in-between his going on and on about how Obama’s administration is comprised of a bunch of homosexuals, he mentions at one point that the Ukrainian government is full of Nazis. Then the next thing he starts talking about right after that is that western civilization is coming to an end because whites are not reproducing enough and as a result are being replaced by non-whites in USA and Europe.

Really it was an intriguing though horrifying confusion of ideas, courtesy of Russia.

I live in Central Asia, and would prefer Russia to fuck off. If you live further East than me, or somewhere Russia has colonized, feel free to say so. So far everyone on this thread defending the good for nothing, shitty excuse for a state in Russia has proved that they do not live under it.

So I say to you as well: Go live there.

Imagine the ignorant dipshits of the CCP getting a say

I don’t give a shit about them or your whataboutism. I just want Russia to fuck off. All these idiots on here defending it are just showing that they really don’t know what Russia is like.

Try getting colonized by Russia and see how you like it

I hope so

How funny of you to suggest the CCP is entitled to name itself in English

I wouldn’t call China’s stance towards Taiwan “respect”. Even so, I don’t have an opinion whether it’s part of China or not. Perhaps only Taiwanese people are qualified to say.

So I bothered to look up 中國共產黨 to see if your claim that CPC is proper and CCP isn’t is true, and honestly it has no merit. Being pedantic about how best to translate it into English doesn’t make you smart or more knowledgeable. Internet propagandists like you for the Chinese government (oh, you’d probably insist only “government of China” is correct) tend to use these kinds of childish irrelevant arguments to deflect attention away from things that matter. I’ve seen similar stupid arguments in official Chinese state propaganda.
