  • Well, China is a “beacon of prosperity” by any objective measure. I’ve not seen anyone there make the other claims. Though they do debunk a lot of the anti-Russia and anti-China propaganda, they back it up with facts.

  • Lemmy.world communities will ban for pushing back against the western narrative, and pointing out their struggles are due to illegal sanctions, and not any failures of communism. Lemmy.ml communities won’t tolerate the willful ignorance.

    Not the flex you think it is.

  • There’s plenty of other factors that need to be considered. There will be significant differences in iron levels, b12, calcium, vitamin d, etc.

    If you’re vegetarian/vegan, you absolutely need to monitor multiple other levels and take the appropriate supplements. Pretending otherwise is really dangerous.

  • You think the Dems won’t help them do it? The Democrats are already backing tariffs and import bans on Chinese cars and solar panels. And I haven’t seen Dems calling out the bans on lab grown meats.

    They will engage in the same protectionism, because they’re paid off by the same donors.

    Oh yeah, I forgot the Democrats also helped ban cancer vaccines and diabetes cures from Cuba and China. Wake the fuck up.

  • That’s the trick. None of them have all of the pieces. We’re a social species. All of our efforts are collective. We use our combined brainpower to make these breakthroughs.

    The first person crossing the line gets all the credit, because our society is obsessed with credit and patents. And then it freezes the advancements for the length of exclusivity, until we can all finally start working on it together again. It’s stupid and inefficient. We need to stop teaching these individualism myths.

  • So why not just tell them conservatives accomplished all of those things? If we’re just trying to make them feel good, and giving credit to people who had nothing to do with it, why not just reinforce their bias?

  • No, it’s just one group of rightwingers, talking to another faction of rightwingers, trying to take credit for the left’s work to increase their recruitment.

    It’s not “pointlessly pedantic.” It’s crucial distinction we have to constantly make, because liberals have been trying to steal that credit for as long as there have been liberals. And nice job throwing in the standard liberal condescension, straight up admitting the tactic is to talk down to conservatives as if they’re children. Because that’s worked so well?
