Some insight here: one of the key factors in Chinese cultural identity is the family unit. Whereas the American family unit is limited to yourself, your spouse, and your potential children, the Chinese family unit stretches further back to your parents/grandparents. There's a much stronger pressure to have and raise children, which impacts the cultural perception of LGBT rights.

The US is increasing it's primary energy production from fossil fuel sources (by 40% since 2010) and they're decreasing total emissions? Sure...

But but but

Colonial apartheid settler rights are human rights

 

Propaganda is flying around like crazy in this conflict and I think it's time for our community to come together and try to separate the truth from misinformation and chaff. Similar to my last post on the al-Ahli Hospital Massacre, we're going to go with the following format:

For top-level comments, post the claim being made as well as who made the claim (please cite as close to the original source as possible) and, if possible, the date/time that claim was made.

For other comments, please try to either prove or debunk claims using multiple sources and verifiable information.

Don't you have to, y'know, cross the Rockies for that?

That sounds insanely expensive.

Absolument. I did a deeper dive of US "emissions" here: https://hexbear.net/comment/4246041

In short, the US significantly under reports their emissions from natural gas because they don't sufficiently consider the short-term impact of methane or the degree of methane leakage occuring.

Literally the US Army has published videos that claim they were involved in the Tiananmen protests.

Not sure why $oro$ is marked as racism when it specifically refers to one person and has "nothing to do" with that person's race.

Really makes you think.
