    I honestly don’t personally know any real-life person who acts like that - they’re either just not scared of cool infrastructure, or they’re the occasional ‘patriot’ freak who’s nationalist/racist enough to consider Japan a threat too.

    Leave the straw-man circlejerking to the rightoids, comrade.





  • Speaking as a Marxist who sees the PRC and the CPC as a current progressive world force - why are all your posts so aggressively-ridiculous strawman slop, as if its aimed to alienate working people? It’s the flavor I see in dirtbag-left online circlejerks and never among communists I’ve seen in real life, and I’ve met thousands of us.




  • […] allegedly throwing an improvised incendiary device that ignited part of an exterior gate before fleeing the scene on foot.

    The suspect was ultimately located about an hour later near OpenAI’s headquarters, roughly 4.8 kilometres (three miles) away, where he was allegedly threatening to set the building on fire.

    ngl disappointing performance. If you’re going to do an adventurism by yourself, which I generally don’t advocate for tactical reasons, then at least make it worth the prison time.

    Someone posted an image that says “Verify you are human”, with the test being “I stand with Palestine”.

    The implication is that those who do not, are not human.

    Yes, joking about how Zionist scum (and apathetic people) lack humanity is dehumanization. The image is very literally saying some is not human if they don’t stand with Palestine.

    And to recap what I said, this isn’t some moral objection - death to the Zionist Regime and those who empower it. The problem is that dehumanization of humans is an anti-materialist delusion, which has historically led to underestimating enemies.

    No, it isn’t standing with Palestine, nor standing against it. It’s simply pointless and a tactical error.

    Dehumanizing is a mistake that the Nazis made, leaving them vulnerable to their own propaganda. They expected all their victims to be sneaky, cowardly and inferior, and they paid for that mistake.

    Dehumanizing the new wave of fascists leaves us open to the same mistake.

    The people committing genocide in Palestine are human, and it’s important for us to stop them by any means necessary, including killing them.

    It’s a fair point - one of the most important steps in change is understanding the power we have. Not just as individuals, but collectively.

    Don’t wish for a future. Instead, want to build that future. I want to build a functioning justice system.


  • Same applies to all social networks and MS Windows, right?

    The only social networks I willingly use are Fediverse instances, none I’m registered on are hosted in the US.

    No device in my house runs Windows. Linux is an upgrade, I recommend it.

    Things that rich people own manufacturing of?

    As a socialist, I believe the working class must seize the means of production, and am doing my part in building that future for us all.

    What about cars? They’re pretty much govt spyware now too.

    Yes, I despise the ‘smart’ features shoved into cars, televisions, etc… I am also active in /c/fuckcars, I am critical of their overuse and rarely use one.


    Now, none of this is necessary for us to recognize that giving the US control of important infrastructure is dangerous. But you did ask. And many governments are also moving away from US infrastructure, although more slowly.


    As for Starlink, its common use is the result of laziness and neglect. Satellite internet is clearly not the cheapest, fastest or most efficient for most of its customers to get modern internet infrastructure. Governments should be reducing their citizens’ need for Starlink as a serious priority, by building internet infrastructure.
