@stevedidwhat_infosec Fr I don't think people understand you can simultaneously find it funny and be deeply disturbed by what severe and acute mental illness and online reactionaries can do to someone.

@stevedidwhat_infosec It just means CIA. You shouldn't, it's a pretty dark reference to when internet lolcow obsessives encouraged a schizophrenic operating systems coder who lived with his parents to say racist stuff. He does have one famous rant he rehashed s lot where he says "CIA [racial slur] all glow in the dark you can see them coming". At this point it's transcended any racist connotation as people have mistakenly picked it up without realizing, and it's a meme

@conditional_soup *Urumqi god this charlimit is so awful I can do 5000 but 500 is grueling. Sorry for triple tapping ya

@conditional_soup If you've heard of the one child policy here's a fun fact none of you "China watchers" know. Most regions and/or minority groups did not get affected. If you were Han or anything in Tibet, or a minority any placd, you could be fruitful and multiply. Just an example of how China deliberately gives minority groups boosted democratic representation, healthcare access, training, and cultural representation. Which is what responsible nations should do (glaring at indian res)

@conditional_soup Yes. When BBC did a documentary on the training programs they literally showed people going to dancing classes and freely returning home. There was heavy surveillance but there are some really freaky Wahabbists out there not sure if you heard about the riot in Urumbi that killed like 200 people. They literally had to stop random knife attacks in the subway coming from ISIS linked groups, goes back to US and Saudi funding as far back as Operation Cyclone. Damn charlimit!

@JohnDClay @turkishdelight Zenz repurposes the pro-life argument that reduced birth rates are genocide to make it look like Xinjiang getting free healthcare & women who had 3 kids already receiving tubal ligations/ etc. is genocide the same way KKK guys think modernity is white genocide. China literally trained these people to be bilingual realtors and stuff like that, it wasn't even a mega trade program or something. They got people to white collar shit Xinjiang is rich

@JohnDClay @turkishdelight That's really interesting that the evidence-free allegations pushed by far-right evangelical Adrian Zenz at the Jamestown Foundation (who believes some nations represent beasts of the biblical Apocalypse & nuclear war will bring the Rapture, but I digress (IN REALITY HE WORSHIPS MAMMON WHAT A RUBE LOL)) in coordination with the State Dept. specifically recalls our past atrocities. Internment, Islamaphobia, and chattel slavery. All lies

@afraid_of_zombies I gleaned nothing from his writings 😅

@emptyother @stevedidwhat_infosec Glowies want people softened up and aggressive and circlejerking about social darwinist shit ISTFG it's for war with China 😂🤣

@afraid_of_zombies the lore for buddislam and stuff is beyond insulting to the historic centers of world civilization and to the fucking reader because there are zero details i hate his dumb ass

@myrrh @afraid_of_zombies for good reason

@afraid_of_zombies May as well ask why you can't escape David Lynch. He lets us crackers telegraph we like to get a little quirky if we associate with his brand and it goes to our head. Dune is like oh I'm a guy who reads sci fi books yeah I've read the Major Titles shit. I read it when I was a teenager and was like fuck this guy is tedious and by book 3 he's a huge goddamned creep and everything is contrived beyond belief, even considering what went on up to that point lol

@John_McMurray @cholesterol L-theanine is very inexpensive, it's just an amino acid found in tea which eases jitters. Caffeine itself is good for exercise it's straight-up healthy if you can get to sleep haha

@Wizard_Pope @FlyingSquid They literally are though, boeing is allowed to dump all kinds of weird chemicals into the water and the sewer filtration can't handle it. It contaminates Tacoma's sewer biomass sourced garden fertilizer, which people illegally use on crops and weed because it's so cheap. Has literal residual medications in it too btw. Just a weird cocktail of random drugs in trace amounts. Probably nothing to worry about.

@MicroWave @tsonfeir Frank herbert-ass religiosity incorporating random political figures and smashing vibes together with abrahamic religions

@turkishdelight @CaptainSpaceman Yeah not sure if I'm using this term wrong but is this some kind of "datacenter protectionism"?

@paraphrand They believe this wholeheartedly (they elaborated and deleted), that the Russians conducted a false flag attack on themselves to get support for a war they are already conducting. You could only believe it if you were completely addicted to propaganda.

@CharlesDarwin Unfortunately the majority of marketing for small arms has gotten people jumping up and down at the thought of getting to kill a home intruder to the point that they were all cheering on a guy for shooting a pregnant woman and a guy running away.

@Socsa Haha, it's funny how hostile people who call themselves leftists online are to talking about geopolitics or finance. That's what you get when you overinvest your skillpoints in memes and not books 😅

@CharlesDarwin @Flax_vert I like how people argue about this as if US self defense law condoning people executing their neighbors and shit makes anything right lol
