It’s worst than that; we’re taught that China is a dystopian, authoritarian hellhole and I think that our collective “common sense” is going to make us go to extensive, painful, and unreversible lengths to prevent that “hellhole” from becoming the world’s hegemon.
there’s a book out there titled “dying of whiteness” and it describes how white (mostly poor) americans chose to vote against their own interests (especially for healthcare) rather than see any out-group (especially minorities) get any support.
i think that all americans will be dying of whiteness fiscally rather than admit that china has surpassed the united states economically.
it’s clear that the ban made tiktok receptive to american pressures, including pro-zionist interests.
tiktok gained it’s notoriety because of it didn’t cave like it’s doing now and it has to in order to survive; it’s no different than facebook, or twitter, or youtube now.
this overly simplistic and completely ignores the impact of things like voter suppression or propaganda or narrative control
somehow it seems to be only youtube, xcancel and lemmy…
are american ships going to start hauling isreali freight?
same here and yet neither are killing me fast enough. lol
… But when it comes to things like ageism, racism, sexism, and other forms of discrimination they still have quite a way to go.
22.4 years in the tech sector in the united states makes me wonder if you’ve ever experienced what it’s like here.
this feels so obvious, yet so ignored outside of lemmy, and even then only the leftist instances.
this guy is probably the last true american hero
The problem is that we don’t have a left party; the closest are the Democrats and they’re Republicans in all but name.
… Canada only just dodged a bullet for now
By 3 points; less than a basketball goal
And don’t forget that Italy, Poland and Hungary are already there and we’re about to invade the few countries that went left.
i wonder if there’s any clearer sign that they’re americans than this.
porn star; that is if i were hot. lol
and it was disregarding to make facts seem baseless; so it bared repeating.
is this guy relevant again somehow?
i guess i just don’t like the fact that i’ve paid more than five-star-restaurant for my soup when there are clearly other groups that can afford more and there’s leverage that can be used to everyone’s mutual benefit.
I agree this is true, but this seed takes centuries to bloom into a collapse since it can (and has) been delayed many times; as evidenced by the native American style extermination that’s happening in Gaza rn.
I fully expect there to be a nothing more than a chapter is some history book on the Gazan version of the trail-of-tears in the next 100 years or so as future Isrealis willfully remain ignorant of the atrocities committed in their name as Americans are in theirs.
