The sort who want social liberalism AND the empowerment of Chinese, African, etc voices.
It’ll be gloriously ugly.
“only westerners can rule the world” is youre take and its as retarded and racist as you
In a few years, the western liberals who claim to want a world led by countries outside the west are gonna get what they wished for, and realise that means western liberal values lose

Oh. I misunderstood what you were saying when I first answered. I wouldn’t have bothered if I had realized how racist the question was.

The US is in actual national peril, not all “Western” countries.
But yes, I’m excited after traveling for 15 years for other countries to to stop paying so much deference to harmful US policies and consider sensible global alternatives like bidets, gun control and accessible, affordable civil services.

What peril’s it in?

Federal agents invading states and extrajudicially executing citizens is a common historical prelude and introduction to civil war.
The moment a US state government fights back on behalf of its own citizens, the US will have entered civil war.

I was going to say are you sure you mistyped bidets instead of something else, and then you really rounded it off with bidets.

Just yesterday I was reading about those two guys arrested in China for using AI to make images of gay pandas having sex… great prospects for all furries and LGBT fans in China (which also has such wonderful scores on feminism). It also works for the people praising the establishment of more dogmatic conservative religious groups in western countries, but you can’t mention this on Leopards Ate My Face…

I have read it here: washingtonblade.com/…/two-chinese-men-detained-ov…
at least three similar incidents have occurred in Chengdu recently, all involving netizens posting on social media linking Chengdu with homosexuality, resulting in legal repercussions. This isn’t just about giant pandas. I think the local police’s reaction was somewhat excessive,” said Renn Hao, a Chinese queer activist. “The content was actually praising Chengdu’s inclusivity, and there was no need to punish them with regulations like ‘maliciously spreading false information.’”
“This situation reflects the strict censorship of LGBT related content in the area,” they added. “This censorship makes LGBT-related content increasingly invisible, and people are even more afraid to post or mention it. This not only impacts the LGBTQ+ community in China but also hinders public understanding and awareness of this group.”
more context I’ve read from: washingtonpost.com/…/china-gay-panda-chengdu/
Wang Xuetang, a lawyer with J. Tongue Law Office in Shenzhen, says the suspects in the “gay pandas” case were penalized not for rumormongering, but for the AI-modified news photo they produced.
“This case has been described as a stigmatization of Chengdu, because many netizens joked that homosexuality is so widespread in the city that even pandas there turned gay.
Officials appear to be trying to erase Chengdu’s unofficial queer capital status, he said.
Wang noted that most of the Chengdu cases were defined as “picking quarrels and provoking trouble,” a vaguely-defined criminal offense that has often been used to control speech and deter dissent.
“There used to be a vibrant gay scene in Chengdu, and LGBTQ people there were highly visible and welcomed,” said Kenneth Cheung, a Hong Kong-based activist who founded the LGBTQ+ rights group Rainbow China. “Now, that culture increasingly faces challenges,” especially following the recent detentions, he said.

Has anyone used a bidet? Someone in this thread got me curious. Why are they so highly rated?
Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 2 days ago
I have one.
If you got poop on your hand, would you just wipe it off with a napkin and be ok with that, or are you going to wash your hands?
Respect your butt.

No, no one has. It’s a meme. I use dock leaves and a burning stick.

That is happening, because Capitalism always eventually falls apart. People eventually figure-out the scam that it is. But hey it is only going to get worse, The USA are now moving back into Feudalism, as The Non-Political Left people elected ‘The Crazy Don’, ‘The Rep. “Crazy Capitalist” Party & Joe Biden & ‘The Dem. “90+% Capitalist” Party keep electing them.
