Presidents Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin have been caught on a hot mic talking about the potential of medicine to extend human life spans and “perhaps even achieve immortality”.

That’s pretty much exactly the topic of conversation I would have expected when two megalomaniacs meet.
We need better safeguards against the mentally ill taking and holding power in our countries.
These types of mental illness (addiction to power, money, status) naturally lead towards positions of power. If we don’t actively prevent it from happening, we will always be controlled by malignant megalomaniacs.
Bring back sortition.
These positions are pursued by these kinds of people specifically because they reward those kinds of behaviours. I’d even argue it’s required to seek power, money, and status in order to climb the political ladder.
Those cunts need a bullet to the face.
Face/Off
lol
Xi knows all about organ transplants.
its as if it’s an attempt to one up the depravity of the west to make themselves seem worse

I love all the genuine news we saw on Hexbear and ML about the parade and meetings…their outcomes, analysis of military capabilities, comparisons between this parade and other recent ones…genuine real information.
And then over here on lemmy dot zip we get “ZOMG EVIL SISSYPEE LEADER WANTS TO BE IMMORTAL?” Like first off how is that news. Second off it makes complete sense for 2 world leaders to be talking about their countries advancements in science. The fear mongering is comical especially alongside the complete lack of any actual real news about it being posted here.
This comm is like the tabloid section of a magazine stand and it’s hilarious

Look, you do see how literally anyone could have a conversation about modern medicine leading to longer lifespans, right? Y’all are only making a big deal about it because it’s the two people you hate the most talking about it. The “journalist” reporting it like this is disingenuous at best, so when you shared it here, as if it was news, that makes you look bad. You get that, right?
