Younger Americans are friendlier to China
  • The majority of that age range still considers China an enemy, but a tiny fraction of ambivalent onlookers out of an overwhelming majority of a reflexively anti-China populace is enough for the Economist to dedicate an article to a fucking YouGov poll.

    It's just another pearl-clutching "what's wrong with today's youths" headline to panic the elderly while flattering compliant millennials/zoomers for being one of the few (despite still being the majority!) "good ones" that march goose-step with consensus Western political thought.

  • Do you buy books you have already read?
  • Yeah, I get a lot of my reading from the library so I'll buy the books that I'll like enough to read a second time or wanna lend out

  • Dude, kill the redditor in your head. This is my only fediverse account and by "deflecting again" I mean there's a clear pattern of behavior in this thread that you avoid the topic altogether when you get called out on anything.

    What do you mean "no use in 4 months"? Are you just used to lying at this point, hoping the people upvoting you won't investigate your claims? My account is only 2 months old and I post like every other day. You're probably just blocking or defederated from the instances I'm active in.

    But this has nothing to do with the fact that you call yourself a socialist without knowing what materialism is.

  • Bye Felicia [Crosspost]
  • You're deflecting again. You said in another comment "they say they are communists yet they engage in materialism." You could just own up and say that you don't know what you're talking about.

  • Bye Felicia [Crosspost]
  • So like, do you understand what materialism means in socialist philosophy? It's clear by the way you've used the word in this thread that you think it just means "likes having stuff."

    How do you run around calling yourself a socialist when you don't even know what historical and dialectical materialism are?

    Joe Biden to join picket line with striking auto workers in Michigan
  • Plus the original demand was 15 days of sick leave, and then a tepid 7-day sick leave proposal was sent to die in congress. It's not a miracle that Biden was able to get 5 days. Breaking the strike with state power and then casting crumbs in our direction was a flex on the working class saying "nah you'll only get what we allow you to have. You don't deserve to demand shit."

    I'm not holding out any hope that this is anything more than a PR campaign like kneeling cops and kente scarves.

  • Just read Animal Farm by George Orwell and i loved it (No Spoilers)
  • couldn’t help to find Hitler unlikable

    I think you meant, to quote Orwell himself:

    I should like to put it on record that I have never been able to dislike Hitler.

    More on the list in question: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orwell's_list

    There is a notable and obvious overlap in Orwell’s notebook between many of 1940s London’s prominent gay, Jewish and anti-colonial public figures and the accused “cryptos.” Orwell’s bigoted commentaries fill his suspects notebook. Jews are clearly labeled (“Polish Jew,” “English Jew,” “Jewess”) whilst others were mislabeled (“Charlie Chaplin — Jewish?”). The African-American bass singer and future civil rights activist Paul Robeson finds himself in Orwell’s list with the note “very anti-white,” whilst the half-Jewish poet Stephen Spender is damned as a “sentimental sympathiser… tendency towards homosexuality.”

    It'll always be funny that the dude who wrote something like 1984 was such an eager proto-McCarthyite snitch for the propaganda unit of the British Foreign Office.

  • I'm not even sure I want to know
  • let's be real, if my comment ended at the fist paragraph you would've upvoted and moved on. Multiple comments in this thread belittle hexbear users as children as well, but you don't have as much of negative reaction against that.

  • I'm not even sure I want to know
  • snarky know-it-alls that believe that they possess the most advanced political analysis derived almost exclusively from parroting reddit comments which have slowly turned their brains into velveeta

    but anyway, enough about Lemmitors.

    Hexbears are actually a nice bunch if you read through the comments on the current megathread. They just have very little tolerance for self-satisfied libs that congratulate themselves for thumping the Washington consensus-approved ideologies that most of hexbear graduated from years ago. Even I find it difficult to read lemmy comments because they're legitimately what I would've written as a teenage redditor in the late 2000s.

  • Exclusive: US to send depleted-uranium munitions to Ukraine
  • Yeah that's a silly article. Strange that a supposed "tankie" would post something that pushes the Chinese lab leak conspiracy though, especially from an outlet run by an NYT liberal like Bari Weiss.
