America, you have suffered 1 million deaths in yer entire country

Don't spread the rest of this shit again, eh!

 

Unless something more material like a whole continent turning anti-imperialist, if not socialist, and deciding collectively to nationalize the fruit and veg produce, and thus disrupts U.S's produce imports -

I don't think any internal problems in America would reach to a boiling point, as to end on a conclusive note

So what if it's a big deal to you, huh, America is the most armed-country, and has a lot of guns, yet no civil war(s) has occurred recently... it's just reactionary settler business as usual

Im America, nichts neues

 

Notes: Besides the gaokao prep starting from middle school, and taking at least 12-14 hours a hour to prep for it each day and it being mentally strenuous and seemingly decisive to your career,

the narrator talks about how the Gaokao varies per province and apparently

depending on how high your city/province's GDP is, it may be easier compared to other provinces

Other than that, though, he talks more about societal issues rather than political ones, so I think he's at worst, a good-faith Chinese lib, even considering his reddit account, which has little political activity...

Also, I've heard there are other comparable hard exams which are not necessarily hard as the Gaokao, in the comments, such as Brazil and India, thoughts on that as well

To any libs around here: If you lemmy libs want to wander on here, I'll politely tell you which instance you're in and tell you to go back your mother's skirts....

 

Most of the time, it's not the voice-acting quality that's bad...

It's just a bit of an awkward uncanny valley hearing it...

No shit, Sherlock... if you'd read another thing on Mao Zedong, in this context, you would realize he was a major military commander of the CPC in 1927, and with Jiang Jieshi and later the Japanese on his trail, of course, he would emphasize the importance of it...

Doesn't seem necessarily Communist to me... look at the United States of America and Tsarist Russia, do you think it got all its land by asking the Natives to politely leave and commit suicide... (guns had to be drawn, ye know)...

Edit: oh wait, you are a tovarisch, thought you were a Lemmy li b...

Woah woah woah there buddy... if you keep pushing for something like this

You're bound to have Yogthos and Yuritopia talk to each other directly and have their worlds collide and crash down hard, due to the overwhelming power of their precense...

Imagine the horror! /s I agree...

Brunei has been led by Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah since 1967. The country's wealth derives from its extensive petroleum and natural gas fields. Economic growth during the 1990s and 2000s has transformed Brunei into an industrialised country, with the GDP increasing 56% between 1999 and 2008. Brunei has the second-highest Human Development Index among Southeast Asian states, trailing only Singapore.

During the 19th century, the Bruneian Empire began to decline. The Sultanate ceded Sarawak (Kuching) to James Brooke and installed him as the White Rajah, and it ceded Sabah to the British North Borneo Chartered Company. In 1888, Brunei became a British protectorate and was assigned a British resident as colonial manager in 1906. After the Japanese occupation during World War II, a new constitution was written in 1959. In 1962, a small armed rebellion against the monarchy was ended with British assistance. The country gained its full independence from Britain on 1 January 1984.

So, it's like another UAE... another British-aligned South-east Asian petroleum monarchy that crushed a progressive rebellion...

What's wrong about Brunei? Idk about it...

[–] deathtoreddit@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 8 months ago

Call them "bazinga boys" and "redditors"...

I can understand, if not at all agree with Japanese ultranationalism

By what measure, as I should repeat, there's a difference between national liberation and ultra-nationalism... one is for sovereignty and unity and one is for hierarchy and otherization, if not expansion.. (left and right nationalism)

And it seems Japan heads for the latter more further to the right...

I thought that was a minor rebel insurgency, a la Philippines, not a fucking ethnic cleansing....

I think Indonesia has an anti inperialist socdem government so I don't think it's that bad there

Happy birthday... America delenda est as usual...

Nah, I don't think even Wiscom thought of us as like that...

 

To me they're like mere servants of the State, like Lenin talked about in "2. What is to Replace the Smashed State Machine?" in his writing "The State and Revolution"

Under Capitalism, they are its privileged knights that try to deflect and control, if not defend directly its image as "the only option", who have their incentive in doing so, with their class status stake being in their duty to shepherd the means of production and its resulting benefits

However, they don't own the means of production, as they merely manage it for the landholding, industrialist, and financier capitalists

On the other hand, under Socialism, while its privileges will be probably be done away, the PM class on its own would innovated upon, for their new duty of overseeing, managing, and reporting the collectivized cooperatives and state-owned enterprises..

Until the final stage of Communism arrives, I think they're pretty handy

I say this, because I hear such disgusted sentiment in Hexbear against them

 

So far, I've only heard of nation-states committing atrocities whose gov't officials end up in the Hague...

How about companies, whose CEOs and stockholders have a role in committing such large scale crimes who deserve the wall?

Edit: Bonus points if you include a death toll...

From what I've read on wikipedia's Nestle

In a 2018 study, the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) estimated that 10,870,000 infants had died between 1960 and 2015 as a result of Nestlé baby formula used by "mothers in [low and middle-income countries] without clean water sources", with deaths peaking at 212,000 in 1981.[47]

 

Just that...

 

I mean, its dark, but it paints a gory picture of Israel as an ethno-nationalist settler colonial state...

I remember it being posted here...

 

Considering what happened in Al Ahli Hospital...

 

It makes sense that they won't allow their own skin to be ravaged (United States, Britain, Germany, France etc), but why not the Baltics and Poland, at this point?

I'm surprised they haven't done so, after these long months

 

Ask them if they've read about Dessalines, and ask their thoughts on them?

Whether it be the Github user who founded Lemmy, with his Anti-American and Marxist Leninist essays,

or

the Haitian general who fought against the French in the Haitian Revolution, and thus had a hand in wiping out many remnants of the white slave-owners... to create the first abolitionist country.

Just ask what they know and what they think of him?
