yeah same, like wtf is it even trying to say

yeah basically

ha

Oh yeah for sure, we can see the treatment Europe is getting right now with US selling overpriced LNG and plundering European industry.

That's right, everybody should just bend the knee or else.

incredible stuff

lol

LMFAO it really does, it's like one of those Tom Clancy novels come to life. 😂

I get the impression he's still living in the Cold War. 😂

It's especially hilarious given that even Ukrainians contradict them on this.

It's becoming pretty clear that the fact that USSR was communist had little to do with anything. What US hated the most is that they had competition, and now that Russia is no longer communist, they just use the same narrative because to them it does not matter.

but I was told NATO was a defensive alliance...

I mean it's a pretty obvious thing to do, it's just funny that even western consultants realized this was perfectly reasonable.

And I'm saying that China objectively does not suck. China has been consistently improving lives of over a billion people, it's been a positive force globally helping countries develop and build infrastructure instead of bombing them, and they're actually doing something tangible to transition from using fossil fuel energy. China might have problems, but overall it's a well functioning society where most people live happy lives, and see their prospects improving each and every year.

China set to miss climate targets by 2025

And if it does, it's still doing vastly better than pretty much every major western country. The trajectory in China is pretty clear at this point.

Here’s China giving the death penalty to a pro-democracy blogger:

The west is literally torturing Assange in solitary right now for revealing US war crimes. There's a pretty long list of dissidents who have been killed and tortured by western countries. Not to mention all the horrors the west commits around the world with constant wars, regime change operations, coups, death squads, slave labor, and so on. China does none of these things last I checked.

A country who refuses to reveal how many people the execute but is estimated thousands per year per Amnesty International, a organization you assert to be biased with absolutely no proof whatsoever. If that number is false, why wouldn’t China release the numbers?

There's plenty of proof that Amnesty International is biased af. If China doesn't release the numbers where did Amnesty International get them. This is literally a case of trust me bro.

But to hold up China as a paragon of virtue, given their history of censorship, brutality, and lack of transparency seems particularly heinous to me.

Nobody is holding China up as a paragon of virtue. What's actually being said is that it's doing a much better job than the west in terms of improving lives of the people in the country and dealing with big problems like climate change. Every country has problems, every human society has problems. However, some societies consistently produce better outcomes for the majority than others.

Nationalization of resources to capitalists is like garlic to a vampire.

It sounds like it's just good old on grassroots organizing and education of the masses. Bolsheviks also took around a decade to become a serious force incidentally.

true

I find it fascinating how the Western world defines extremism as straying from its conventional beliefs. It is intriguing to observe that holding views such as homelessness being acceptable or denying individuals' right to healthcare, which align with mainstream ideologies in the West, are not considered extreme. Instead, it is those who advocate for universal healthcare and housing who are deemed extremists by society. 🤡

Lemmygrad is hands down one of the most polite and inclusive online communities I've ever seen. I simply can't recall any instance where I disagreed with somebody here and we couldn't resolve it using a constructive and polite discussion. This is frankly unheard of on most social media platforms and vast majority of Lemmy instances.
