No just wanted to add that in without an edit. It’s just how my brain works. I don’t have 2 accounts. I don’t need a safe space or a chorus. I said what I said. Glad I inspired you enough to comment. Stay mad tankie

All these comments reminded me why we got the personal responsibility to recycle plastic, and the corporations got more incentives to produce and consume plastic. All you tankies need to take responsibility for your voting habits and get out of poor people’s spending habits. You sound like the capitalists. Cut the avocado toast out and the world will change.

Jesus H Fucking Christ. How about electing a government that will regulate Amazon instead of comparing poor people who need consumer goods to nazis. This is some tankie ass behavior

Feel free to provide goods to my rural community any time! You can’t believe that poor people have budget consideration and seek the cheapest product?

I boycott pretty much all the big corporations. I can’t really boycott Amazon because I am in a super rural part of the US and run a small business. Like most small businesses I purchase a lot of random doodads and thingamabobbers from china. Amazons monopoly on the US post office and their logistic network that gets bulk goods from china to my house is hard to live without. They fix more than prices, the whole economy is stacked in their favor. They basically won globalism and it was bad for the globe.

Oh I thought it was to project power and pursue territory disputes. Building islands in neighboring nations waters and stuff. Flying jets over the Philippines and such.

China spent 250 billion US dollars on defense last year. Clearly that’s for nothing.

China spends so much on its military and miltech. Why is that again?

- Comment on 'It's Possible to jailbreak F-35 like iPhone', Says Dutch State Secretary of Defense Tuinman 5 days ago:
The goal for the F-35 was to create jobs and taxable revenue. Projecting power indeed. Manipulating other countries to “keep up with mil tech” even tho we all know our adversaries are 20 years behind. Maybe investing in schools or diplomacy could have created greater returns for the American public
- Comment on The RAM shortage is coming for everything you care about 5 days ago:
It’s called unfinished business. Xi is not going to give up on reunifying all of china. They got their Hong Kong now they need the Taiwan
- Comment on The RAM shortage is coming for everything you care about 5 days ago:
Well, our economy is collapsing from bad debt and inflation, we’ve alienated ourselves from our ally’s, we’ve relocated aircraft carriers and are starting new wars.
It’s honestly a great time for china to exert some force.
- Comment on The RAM shortage is coming for everything you care about 5 days ago:
Umm hundreds of Chinese ambassadors to Xi Himself. How many do you want I’ll start pulling them.
- Comment on The RAM shortage is coming for everything you care about 5 days ago:
China a country that has been trying to unify Taiwan since the civil war they could quite finish.
- Comment on 'It's Possible to jailbreak F-35 like iPhone', Says Dutch State Secretary of Defense Tuinman 6 days ago:
I mean they can be riddled with bugs and the best aircraft available. Chinas always going to lean in on raw numbers. Their aircraft are not superior, nor are their pilots who are always causing international incidents. The problem is the insane amount of resources that went into it and the fact that it really doesn’t have an adversary. There’s no telling if it will remain relevant for long enough to pay back the investment. For me it’s more of a “we needed a super jet like we needed a war in Iraq” vibe. No question its better than the Chinese equivalent (which there is none)
- Comment on Do you ever feel guilty for trying to sign up for government assistance programs? 6 days ago:
Basically I’m trying to access some social services now, and the administrators don’t give a fuck about the community they are paid to tend to. Real sad
- Comment on Do you ever feel guilty for trying to sign up for government assistance programs? 1 week ago:
They’ve literally structured our economy around paying you enough to qualify for it. Not your fault our leaders are morons.

Average age of Lemmy is too low to remember the democrats always managed to support the war on drugs. Save the children indeed. Think of the children is just the go-to bipartisan reasoning for bad legislation

Yes it’s an important fight for survival. Which is why the dems will nominate a bunch of corporatists who have been scorned by trump. Let the “good” money back into politics and “save the kids” my benevolent billionaires who are noble and just!!
- Comment on Rent is theft 3 weeks ago:
Kids back in my day you used to be able to rent a house for like $400. It was much cheaper than owning a house and had several advantages. Sometime after 2012 that all changed. Now it’s as you said. There’s a place for rent and land lords, it’s just not the current system
- Comment on Do old people still remember their childhood? Do people just start losing their memories and their sense of self as they get older? 5 weeks ago:
You pack a lot of memories in there. Your mind will compartmentalize them. The packing of time into memories is a strange sensation but I don’t think I’ve lost my sense of self. The memories are less vivid and feel further away as time passes. Your memories together with your thoughts form your sense of self, that’s hopefully not something you lose.
- Comment on Finally, Common Ground... 2 months ago:
Well considering we had a huge head start, I really don’t value the comparison that much anyway.
Let’s look at it a different way, is their middle class growing while ours is contracting? Let’s consider the trend and not the specific point in time.
- Comment on Finally, Common Ground... 2 months ago:
My aunt and uncle went on a state sponsored trip and got the impression that they have a stronger middle class than we do. From what I can piece together I’d tend to agree. But ya I guess we’ll know for sure with more hindsight.
Gotta love the two biggest economy’s in the world and you can’t find/trust good data
