Mark my words: in ten years from now on, the Chinese web will be more free and open than any Western country.

It is truly last piece of the Bourgeois panopticon. Internet already feels broken. I have to constantly switch my VPN on to access this or that website. How long til they even prohibit that?

Most of the legit stuff was on telegram, surprisingly or not. I know people who bought uh firearms and more there. Unfortunately, it feels like it disappeared at the same time as the proximity feature

I predict this same restriction for Windows 12.

Probably to detect all variations of dangerous words such as "union", "genocide" and "peace".

That would make sense except Russia and China are not rogue States. China hasn't been involved in a conflict since the last 70s

Ahahah it's always funny to see my old employer on this website. What's more crazy is that they appeared twice, and they are really not that important lol

Oh no is a real thing! Capitalism is a mode of production; that is a way to organise the productive forces of a society around specific social relations. It is so real it has been observed well before Marx himself. Ricardo and Smith studied its developments. It even had a beginning, back then with Italian city-states, and hopefully it will have an end, just like slavery and feudalism before. I recommend "Why socialism" by Albert Einstein as a good introduction :)

The US Empire has reached the limit of its capitalistic mode of production. Now is time for Americans to consider the next step of any industrialised capitalist society; scientific socialism. It did wonder for China, Vietnam, and many more, and it can do wonders for the American people too.

I appreciate the sentiment of the author. However, when it comes to politicians in the West, it's always better to assume malice over ignorance. These people know what they are doing. They simply goals and interests completely opposed to the common man. At the end, it's all about class. Hence why open letters to politicians are of very little use or effect.

Huge respect to the Islamic Republic (and its allies!) to have stood up against the Empire.

Further evidence that social democrats are just moderate fascists.

Guys, just saying but there is a solution to this issue: scientific socialism.

Damn I wonder why they are displaced. No one to blame for sure.

I rode the amtrak from NYC, to DC then finally to Atlanta. Beautiful all the way, but incredibly slow, and the train "station" at Atlanta is left to be desired to say the last.

You must be confused. Most of the products that end in your hands were made by hard working folks from the Global South. All Westerers do is own the companies, the labour and the politicians from those countries. But don't worry, sooner rather than later, even Westerners will have to relearn what working truly means.

A shame local companies where I am from have year long backlogs.

Have Westerners ever thought of working and creating real value instead of betting on the death of little children?
