It's never a question of existence/nonexistence. One can always cite some minor example. It's a question of proportion, and I'd go further say that it's quite disingenuous to pretend that this contradiction, in thi

In the very near future America as a country will have to fight a lot harder to loot the resources of other nations, so I imagine as resource scarcity encroaches upon everyone's lifestyle you'll probably begin to see yourself less

It's a little amusing to compare the reactions here to Internet Archive breaking the law ("The law is the law…") to Uber/AirBnB breaking the law ("Newcomers challenging the system! Ambitious, bold disruption!")

America will rule in favour of private property and against the common good every single time, unless forced to do otherwise by external circumstances. Famously it only went against segregation because "Racial discrimination furnishes

It makes sense though. It's similar to the dismantling of universal healthcare in Canada. There's too much money to be made. It's very silly to imagine one can be a staunch proponent of privatizing everything, especially all

Well, my English is pretty good and I'm from Latin America. I think that ought to give you enough of an idea.

Someone may get called lots of names from "both the left and the right." It doesn't mean they have, therefore, achieved some kind of enlightened balance. The fact that you can cite a lot of angry right-wingers trying to pull

I've presented heavy evidence in favour of my position, you've presented Wikipedia. I agree that it's not complicated.

I'm having a lot of fun, actually. But you can keep pretending you know what you're talking about, citing Wikipedia. I guess from your perspective that's fun too.

I'm just a communist programmer that hasn't been here for ages because I got bored of the hive-mind. Literally anything left-of-right-of-centre immediately gets flagged (if not outright banned by the mods), all in service of shelt

Generally speaking when someone asks that question it is with an eye to disqualifying a speaker they don't want to listen to, on the basis of ad-hominem. Latin America? "You're ignorant, you know nothing!" China? "Y

It's fitting that you tried to cozy up to that American guy by 1) demonizing a fellow Latin American, a 2) regurgitating American lies you've heard about China and never scrutinized, and that your reward for it was being treated l

This is so funny to me. Good luck with the whole "empire in decline" coping process.

I can't imagine literally submitting a House.gov link and some gusana YouTube clip link to try to tell a Latin American that they need to side with the U.S., to save themselves from China. Y'all live in your own little reality.

In America, working class people get killed by cops and corporations with little recourse. In China, elites get disciplined by the party with little recourse. It's a matter of which class you see yourself in. >According to Harvard U

Absolutely. If the accusation is "the Chinese government denies it!" the best way to demonstrate the falsehood is by citing the Chinese government not denying it. It seems pretty straightforward.

I'm Latin American and very, very happy we have China as an alternative to America's tyrannical Monroe Doctrine. The demonization of China feels incredibly absurd, like when someone wearing an exceedingly ugly outfit, lacking self

It's a very old tradition: >The Spanish-American War, what boosters called a “splendid little war,” began in 1898. … President McKinley sent a warship to Cuba as a precaution, but in February 1898 that ship, the USS Maine, blew up i

The only reason 2. happened anywhere on Earth for any period of time is because 1. happened in another. In other words, 1. is responsible for both 1. and 2. https://redsails.org/concessions/

This is a bit like saying that women in a patriarchy should prefer prostitution over marriage, because having many interchangeable abusive masters is better than having just one.

On the contrary. Far from showing any hints of pro-Chinese seeding, this shows to what extent ChatGPT is trained entirely by observing white people talk to each other about China, and doesn't come even close to capturing actual Chinese
