I saw a french documentary where they sent this guy to Italy so he could learn how to make the good pizza and brought experts in to check.

It looked like some good ass Italian pizza. Too bad the frenchies were too busy pretending to care about peasants in the countryside to actually be normal and enjoy it. The one woman whose father was born the north was the most normal one, she actually enjoyed her time being there and didn't pretend to wax poetic about poverty.

It is really funny that liberals expect me to believe their genuine concern for the peasant class of Korea when their entire lives are subsidized by the Global South via imperialism.

Me calling migrants at the US-Mexico border "defectors" because I am definitely not racist and coddled

"I wonder why all these defectors are being deported?"

are actively perpetuating colonization and genocide rather than simply getting an advantage from their ancestors

USAmericans are also doing this too. The overconsumption done by yankees would require multiple planet earths if everyone were allowed to consume as much as they do and the US government is guilty of exporting a capitalist system that causes climate change, not to mention the imperialism abroad. There is no functional difference between the US and Israel, just "Big Satan" vs. "Little Satan."

I agree with your points entirely, it's just amusing to see the people who do disagree experience a tiny iota of the fear and despair that the indigenous peoples of America and beyond had to feel when their world was destroyed and stolen.

It is really telling that suddenly they fear for their lives once they think they will be victims of the same colonization that gave them privilege. They've internalized that this process only functions through mass slaughter and terror and start waxing poetic about "human nature"

Keyboard -> Keyboard shortcuts from Settings will show all the available keyboard shortcuts. You can also create your own custom keybindings

These seem like a lot of personal design complaints rather than actual issues with GNOME itself.

And to my understanding Gnome expects you to use basically every application with a full screen window anyway

You misunderstood, that's not what GNOME expects at all. Your app not maximizing on startup is because the app doesn't maximize on startup. GNOME doesn't have a setting to maximize all apps by default since that should be the app's responsibility.

If you want the auto-tiling window manager experience, you'll need to install an extension (Paperwm, tiling shell, Forge, Pop shell). Extensions are like applications, there's no shame in using them.

Modern China is not a communist state and suffers the exact same problems the US suffers from.

Good thing you mentioned modern China since obviously the warlord era of China was obviously better. It all went downhill since the Xia dynasty.

China, Russia and the US are all authoritarian states and none of them are your friends

I guess it would be hard to be friends with a country, it's quite big... with lots of people.

Jokes aside, this is the equivalent of sticking your head in the sand. You're more concerned with sounding like a good person rather than investigating the truth. Using the word authoritarian, just like how many liberals use the word totalitarian or tankie, is just a way to generate self-flattering, psuedo-intellectual discussions based on pure idealism.

China, Russia, North Korea

Conveniently all enemies of the US State Department. Don't those tankies know that these countries are bad because checks notes they do the authoritarianisms.

Let us look at a specific example. A claim like “There’s cultural genocide of Uyghurs in Xinjiang” is simply unreal to most Westerners, close to pure gibberish. The words really refer to existing entities and geographies, but Westerners aren’t familiar with them. The actual content of the utterance as it spills out is no more complex or nuanced than “China Bad,” and the elementary mistakes people make when they write out statements of “solidarity” make that much clear. This is not a complaint that these people have not studied China enough — there’s no reason to expect them to study China, and retrospectively I think to some extent it was a mistake to personally have spent so much time trying to teach them. It’s instead an acknowledgment that they are eagerly wielding the accusation like a club, that they are in reality unconcerned with its truth-content, because it serves a social purpose.

What is this social purpose? Westerners want to believe that other places are worse off, exactly how Americans and Canadians perennially flatter themselves by attacking each others’ decaying health-care systems, or how a divorcee might fantasize that their ex-lover’s blooming love-life is secretly miserable. This kind of “crab mentality” is actually a sophisticated coping mechanism suitable for an environment in which no other course of action seems viable.

You don't care, you have never cared. You can change but I doubt you will.

Actually there's a video like that right here

sorry, they're too busy governing China to care.

Like you do know the ruling party of China is communist right?

any hint about it gets automatically removed.

Yes, if I post something false and harmful, like Haitian immigrants eat dogs, then my post should be removed. That's what you sound like to normal Chinese people and Chinese people who use social media don't want to babysit you. You refuse to learn when given the chance because you love the sense of power you get, like a flat earther or anti-vaccine nut who thinks they're hot shit because they think they know something that nobody else knows. It's sad and pathetic.

Haitian immigrants eat dogs

You see if I did that in the US, I would be called president, so I guess we know who's truly free.

Why are the linked video's sources not applicable? Are they too scary for you?

(and I'm not going to rely on Western Hexbear users to get the other version).

I'm glad history to you is finding the right person to confirm your already held beliefs. I think the word for that starts with an "r" and ends with "-acism."

most Americans think of when they hear the word "China."

Do not question this at all of course. There is no propaganda in America. We all are free-thinkers.

same order of magnitude as the Tulsa Race Massacre?

I'm guessing you missed the fact that events like Tulsa happen every year? The US is already sending immigration agents to stalk and harass migrants, intimidate and harass activists protesting against the Israeli genocide of Gaza, and defund and continually threaten gender, racial and sexual minorities (abortion, trans healthcare, hours worth of cases of well documented police brutality and unhoused people). Or maybe that the US is the 8th wonder of the world where school shootings are normalized, or having the largest prison population where the bulk of it is non-violent drug offenders.

Tulsa is just one event, the US has committed so many atrocities over several lifetimes. This single day during a time of great national political strife is somehow comparable? You think you're being so helpful but all you're doing is just spreading more misery for the sake of making yourself feel better.

Thank you for linking me to generative AI slop to justify your sinophobia. Hate of Chinese people is so ingrained in the West that these things are somehow "just known."

No, using a VPN in China is not illegal. I defy you to provide me the exact law/statute. Shouldn't be hard if it's such a proven fact.

If that's the case I still said what I wanted to say since this Chinese censorship angle is so widespread and people aren't calling it out for the racism it is. It's just so normalized to repeat the same tropes over and over again.

edit: misread the meme, but I still fucking hate this pseudo-intellectual discourse around generative AI.

sigh

0 days since response to Chinese success was met with sinophobic lies

Is it hard for people to stop being racist?

Edit: I know they're a racist piece of shit because "I am learning about the history of Tienanmen" has the same message as "I am learning about the history of Pennsylvania Avenue"

Not even a single day practically.

"Please man I just can't stop committing war crimes, I just can't help myself"
