  • I am gonna take a biased and unsubstantiated leap in logic here but no. Not because most people are incapable of critical thinking but because it is intentionally not encouraged by western education. Critical thinking is something that has to be taught to people and most people have never had a reason to learn it. All they need to know is how to go to work and consume.

  • Blocking a total of 6 people was enough to drastically change Lemmy for me

  • Don't hesitate to block communities and people if they become annoying to you. People on Lemmy can be very passionate, I would know as I was am sometimes still am included in that set. This combined with how vastly different the culture of each instance can be will lead to strong disagreements sometimes, if you choose to engage do so in good faith but don't expect to convince anyone of anything lol.

    Also you are gonna see some very radical politics if you are not used to that

  • I am going to assume you are American here which I normally avoid but it is relevant to this context. Other countries do not have homelessness like America does. I know people from the war torn countries like Iraq that have come to America and been horrified by the depravity with which we treat our poorest. I have even known people that returned to their relatively dangerous home country because they were poor and found western society too alienating and heartless. So when we talk about homelessness in China I need to insist that the Chinese people do not have this culture. They are incredibly recently industrialized and still have HIGHLY isolated rural regions. I've seen villages only accessible by foot beyond a certain point. This may seem irrelevant because homelessness is a largely urban phenomenon but I mention it to show how prevalent their sense of communal identity still is. In recent years a wealthy urban individualist sub-culture has developed but even still few in China would say that a homeless person is at fault for their homelessness. Instead homelessness is looked upon as a failure of their government and it is because of this that homelessness in China is considerably lower than other countries of similar or even greater economic developement. To give you an idea, over 90% of families in China own a home. For the 10% that do not, rent is 30% of their income at most and usually less (though this is a recently development caused by the "Homes are for living, not for investment" act). Homelessness is low in China because the people find homelessness unacceptable and the government is able and willing to interfere with the profits of private housing investors in order to insure it does not occur. To the Chinese state, someone who is homeless is someone who's labor goes unutilized. For the American state a homeless person is an implicit threat that keeps its laborers working.

  • I have severe grievances with the name of this turtle and the damage it has caused but they are very cute. For those who do not know and would rather not wish to see extreme deformation of animals through human ignorance I will describe with words what I am talking about.

    This might have became a thing without the name of this turtle but there is no way it helps.

  • Tucker and Dale vs evil is a over the top gory comedy slasher and I loved it when I watched it as a teen. It may not have aged well though

    Other fan favorites are zoolander and tropic thunder

  • Ah yes, the country with an established industrial base and centrally planned infrastructure is gonna suffer more from tariffs than the checks notes usury and consumption economy run by competing interests and bolstered almost entirely by the ownership of foreign assets and reliance on its currency for international trade.

    Honestly my only conclusion is that they know and are willing to create an economic crisis for the purpose of consolidating political power in the form of "emergency measures" as fascists usually do. I refuse to believe they are just stupid
