There was never going to be any "post-war clean-up" so I am not sure why they are talking about the "challenge" in the first place.

Inside a westerner there are two wolves

One is Mussolini, the other is Hitler

No sorry I'm gonna die on this hill of an angel like Nuland being treated improperly.

It might be hard to imagine now, but Mr Putin himself told the BBC back in 2000 that "Russia is ready to co-operate with Nato... right up to joining the alliance".

"I cannot imagine my country isolated from Europe," he added.

Back then, early in his presidency, Mr Putin was eager to build ties with the West, a former senior Kremlin official told the BBC.

Gotta wonder how Russia never ended up being able to NATO despite this.

Why are humans so bad with drawing hands?

The rest of your answer makes sense but this rhetorical question is not helpful IMO. There are lots of things that humans are not good at but at which computers excel.

That's true but I would have thought that the models would be able to "understand" hands because I'm assuming they have seen millions of photographs with hands in them by now.

The point is that if you sanction a country like DPRK with a weaker industrial and technological base, you can cripple them very severely. China is a much more advanced country. Them being sanctioned in the realm of 5G chips led to an initial slump but eventually they ended up becoming capable of manufacturing their own chips which in the end is a huge win for China.

UHRP is a CIA cutout

Uyghur Human Rights Project was founded in 2004 by the Uyghur American Association, and have eight full-time staff.[1] The project was founded with a grant from the National Endowment for Democracy, and became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, tax-exempt organization in 2016.[3][4]

At this point web browsers are essentially operating systems themselves capable of running a wide variety of specialised apps.

Taken care of. Thank you.

They’re suppressing Marxist student groups and labor organization. How would they get to ‘higher state of socialism’ and what would that look like?

The simple explanation is that China after the Mao era decided to cede ground to bourgeoisie and liberalise the economy to attract foreign investment, integrate itself into world economically and diplomatically and in general just develop as a country. It did result in deviation towards the political right which is how the examples you gave came about to be. It is also why western spectators like to call China names like state capitalist and so on.

It would be problematic if China continued to deviate towards the right because the implication would be that the bourgeoisie have successfully captured the state. But the reality has turned out to be a bit different from that. Quality of life is steadily rising in China and issues like corruption are being dealt with more than they were during the peak of liberalisation.

I am not sure what socialism looks like to you. There is a huge middle ground between wanting to overthrow the government and "looking at the CCP whimsically and romantically". Sometimes countries just do okay. I will ask Xi to write a letter to you and apologise for not having established a communist utopia when the foremost military power has 300 plus military bases, has formed the Quad to contain them and imposes strict sanctions whenever Chinese technology comes remotely close to surpassing their Western counterpart.

the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry

You can post stuff like this in !worldnews@lemmygrad.ml as well. I am trying to make the community more active.

I will just post the political map of Africa in case anyone wants to check it out. I don't know where most of the African countries are situated geographically:

Yeah you are right. It's here: https://ani.social/pictrs/image/78d05797-5b02-4c5a-bd86-132f0f41856c.webp

Thanks.

I get it. Thumbnails are cached. Thanks.

As far as I know, images should not be federating to federated instances, right? Image proxying is supposed to be added to pictrs version 0.5.0 but it is still in alpha.
