The west has spent a half century outsourcing their industry to feel like they’ve done any environmental work (and to lower wages). That has affected all industries, in all western countries.
Ever use anything with a pcb? Congrats it was partially made in china. Any industrial electrical components? Any microelectronics for non computational work? Hell most steel fab is in china. Half the us’s packaged fruit travels through china for packaging.
Your owners and masters have spent a long time ruining domestic companies for the sake of profit. Don’t take that out on chinese people, take it out on your owners and masters.

Nearly every company in the world that has an international presence uses chinese parts somewhere. And no, you racist count, made in china is not a word for cheap shit, it’s a word for made in a factory. You can’t avoid chinese products at this stage of capitalism. Your made in japan microwave? It was assembled in japan. It was made in china hence why you can get the brand less version for half price on aliexpress.
Country labeling is a joke, wherever the final assembly takes place is where the label gets put on, specially because racists like you are too stupid to tell the difference and it sincerely hasn’t mattered since before most people were born.

It still beats having unfriendly nukes parked at your border, which is what would happen overnight if reunification happened towards the us’s favor.

Only for the us in this case. The us isn’t even the money maker for tiktok.
- Comment on Americans under 30 are so miserable that the U.S. just fell to a historically low ranking in the world happiness report 5 weeks ago:
No shit, either you’re homeless and unreported or you’re working a half dozen jobs to barely not be homeless while taking all the loans you can to live somewhat tolerably.
The US is going to collapse in a few years anyway, that’s the only hope anyone has left anymore.
- Comment on Millennials are watching monthly student loan payments skyrocket from $500 to $5000 under Trump: This will ‘crash the economy’ 5 weeks ago:
The US has income based repayment plans for all federally guaranteed loans. By removing or changing the limits in the formula, which is likely what Trump did, people that were paying $50/mo might have to pay market rates for their repayment which is unaffordable to pretty much everyone.
With ibr your interest tends to not increase despite having a much longer repayment time, allowing you to, you know, live and pay your student loans instead of having to choose in most cases.
- Comment on Will an AI Bot Decide if You Get That Job? 1 month ago:
In the US, at least, nearly all corporations digitized around the late nineties while buying into personality test nonsense.
At this time the screening was more simple than it was today, keyword searches and yes/no personality decisions that eliminated over 90% of applicants.
Now with LLMs they can eliminate nearly all applicants, giving them more legal justification to request visas or outsource.

That doesn’t change the fact they aren’t normal people. Most people would love the hope of ever owning one house in America, as a dual income household, much less two single people who are rich enough to have their own homes.

Bud and xiaomi produce more EVs than American manufacturers produce vehicles in total.
The future of EVs is secure and the majority of drivers on earth will be driving one by 2050. Just not in the US, Canada, UK or other failed states.

Well yes, it turns out billions of us aid and explicit US training can stamp out communism, at least without any other support structures.

Don’t forget the people developing said pact are former ISIS members that were publishing their snuff videos a decade ago where they were proudly killing and torturing civilians.
But hey, ISIS is better than Russia I guess.
- Comment on What's easier to shoot, a bow or a firearm? 1 month ago:
Guns. The advent of firearms revolutionized warfare to the extent that no other military arms mattered, and no other training mattered.
Before firearms were adopted, it would take a good ten to twenty years to raise a standing army, and retinues would still need a few months of training to not be slaughtered within the first battle. With firearms you just need a week or two and any peasant with two arms became an effective soldier.
Contrasting this, bowmen weren’t peasants. They did not return to their family when there wasn’t war. They were trained from around the age of seven to around the age of 15, and after this would be a professional soldier until they retired or died; training every single day (except Sundays or Saturdays depending on religion). They were paid to be bowmen, nothing else. Even if a peasant could use a bow, say if they were a hunter, they would never qualify for military service. Its that big of a difference in skill.
As to their differences in effect, range and force.
The weakest powder musket equals a ~80lbs draw war bow. Both can pierce plate armor on a good day, but the former can do so from a longer distance and again with decades less training. As guns get more advanced, their range and penetration increases massively, whereas most archers will be unable to draw a 120lbs or higher bow, meaning there is a maximum distance and effectiveness of bows that is almost comically lower than weapons.
To keep with freedom units, a deadly long range bow shot tops out at around a quarter mile with a high draw weight long bow. That’s about the absolute max, assuming the victim is wearing no armor. The current record for a sniper with a gun is around 1.5 miles, with the target wearing body armor.
- Comment on Israeli speaker of parliament calls for bombing food stocks in Gaza now that Israel has cut off their food and water. 1 month ago:
Palestinians, to the average Zionist aren’t human. They range from animals to demons, depending on whichever fulfills the fascist propaganda needs at the time.
Closing off Gaza is closing the gates of hell, keeping in the demons and making sure they stay their while gods holy soldiers kill them.
This type of thinking is common is Israel, and why the state of Israel is beyond redemption at this stage in history. The Nazis won there.
- Comment on A new study found adaptive traffic signals powered by big data reduced peak-hour travel times by 11% in China’s 100 most congested cities – saving 31.73 million tonnes of CO₂ annually. 1 month ago:
Sensors on a main road and well set timers after a few months of data can do wonders and be extremely low cost, but it requires some upfront spending and enough public will to put up with bad traffic until everything is tuned.

China has more public transit of every type than the rest of the world combined at this point, and most of their cities are quite pedestrian centric.
Cars are a luxury outside the rural areas, and they’re a problem, but this is unrelated to that.

You’re right, defending Nazi sites doesn’t make you friends, you’re wrong that there’s any peer review of the site though, either way.
