In most of Europe I don’t think Peroni actually counts as beer.

Oh so an actual genocide. Curious.

Haven’t we been through this before and we decided that small bezels provide a lot of utility for both drop protection and ergonomics?

I am pretty convinced that .ml is legitimately used as a Russian troll training ground before they get promoted to Facebook and reddit.

On lemmy, this is far more likely to be some weird tankie shit about western propaganda. Though it is definitely noteworthy that the far right and far left seem to push a lot of the same misinformation on here.

Also, in general lemmy trolls are super easy to spot because they don’t do anything else. All they do is whine about democrats or post Russian propaganda and never engage on any other topics.

My personal 9/11 was when Kurt Kobain died

Lemmy.ml after the Russian money dries up

At this point we really need some fresh meat

It’s because the cat food thing is such a stupid hill to die on. Like if you wanted to engineer a viral marketing campaign to make vegans look dumb, you could not have done a better job.

This is precisely why always working from home is unhealthy and the context switch would be worth the psychological boost it provides if not for the commute. I know people really liked the liberation of WFH at first but I just don’t think it is going to be sustainable. It has nothing to do with productivity, but it’s the next simmering mental health crisis.

Yes, I did cocaine in college

By pretty much every measure China lagged the industrial world for several decades. China beat Japan in WW2, a country which got nuked twice, and didn’t pass the much smaller country in economic output until the mid 90s. Pretty much everyone outside China agrees that Mao’s policies held them back immensely due to poor economic planning and continuous political strife.

It’s actually the opposite - the idea that you need a revolution to enact change is meant to keep you demoralized and pacified because you won’t get off your couch unless you see people marching in the streets.

China famously had some pretty massive famines after the revolution as well. China’s real ascendency happened after Mao had been gone for a while and reformers were able to change his worst policies. China still struggles to this day to elevate its massive rural population, with more than half not receiving a high school education.

But more to the point, all industrial nations saw the exact same (and more) living improvements, so it’s hard to really attribute it to political violence.

This is the difference though. Many modern leftists insist that iterative harm reduction under capitalism is exactly the same level of oppression as being a feudal serf. That’s actually the core basis of their thesis - that any capitalism is literally violence against them and therefore justifies violence against others.

Have there been just revolutions in the past? Of course. But overthrowing kings and dictators is quite a bit different than tearing down a society which has both injustice but also a high standard of living. It seems to imagine that only the injustice will be eliminated through violence, which is demonstrably untrue.

Most modern revolution mindset is both childish and often used as a way to shield and justify the real underlying cynicism and lack of willingness to put in work.

Sucks to suck?

Woooaaah Black Betty

OP probably means no cult languages
