Europe and the EU, Japan are vassal states curently occupied by the US. China, Russia, India are largely independent states. I am sure once Europe is not occupied, it will be talked about more.

That’s not true. Trump will be gone in a few years. Soft power and destabilizing many countries has done wonders for US hegemony.

The US is the center of the world though. There are privileges to that like assuming the world revolves around you.

Nice to see what the colonizer imperialist state actors that love Zionism and unequal exchange side with.

That is not how people and society function. The status quo and culture is that open source is good for society and all. You are not told about why big corporations can use all this code for free. You’re actually told you’re doing a good de

Yes. The only real conclusion from people like NEETs is that society failed them. Outside of a fraction of total people (or when addictions are at play), it is very rare that someone never wants to be productive.

by skinnymuch 9mo ago
No that wouldn’t. If the zeitgeist, culture, society at large are antagonizing toward you, if you are meant to feel like a useless negative part of society, why would we expect amazing output from them? This reinforces others talking about

I agree for my own projects where the code and libraries are not enormous. The speed and size gains aren’t going to be something that matters enough.

A western org says out-group companies are at the bottom of the list of a report that is self reports and “transparency” aka trusting the companies words. Obviously their in-group companies will rank higher. That’s the entire purpose of the

Claiming western companies are better because a western org said so based on self reports and western reporting is also weak sauce. “We investigated ourselves and found we are fine and our out-group isn’t”

by skinnymuch 10mo ago
That report is basically made up. Why would non western companies be “transparent” with western organizations? A lot of it is self reports. This is like looking at the freedom indexes and concluding that in the US women have the freedom to

Weird. The sites that block standard vpns don’t block the residential IPs I used to buy. Nor did they seem to know I was on using them. I don’t get how they would be able to know.

Would you consider a “charity” for Nazis or for an org that has killed and maimed tens upon tens of thousands of children to be a good thing or even charity? The listed criteria for what they evaluate is not what the issue is. Did you check

That is super lame. I always assumed the TV app is the one that sucks on its own.

It’s all based on elder Ellison’s power and money.

Ah I see my mistake. I had noticed grandparent being about charity and was responding to that.

You listed multiple sociopathic stuff. A western hegemony think tank is not a good thing. Giving money to a genociders is the opposite of good.

How would you know a residential ip vpn is a vpn? Twitter won’t.

You’re repeating generic right wing-ish talking points. Yet profit margins have increased. If your reasoning was correct, profit margins wouldn’t be increasing as they are.
50.
by skinnymuch 11mo ago
Then why are profit margins bigger? Supply and demand as the reason for profit percentage increasing margin makes no sense. I’d be interested in how you’d debate that.

I don’t think that person is right. If you’re price sensitive and don’t just look at the default [combo] prices then Taco Bell is still elite and known for giving you cheap ways to get calories. They always have a combo that’s cheap and rot

Western state department and corporations aren’t the same thing. China is New Democracy where the classes are all represented with the state at the top. That’s not how Old Democracy (liberal democracy) works where the hierarchy between stat

SF region is gonna be racist among other things itself. That is true of all of America but there’s levels to this and American south is more racist. Don’t have to grow up in a diverse place to see/know that.

They should bend the knee to white and western supremacy? Weird.

Maybe if the west stopped being global terrorists, anti-imperialists wouldn’t have to work against them so much.

Why would the logic extend there? If golf courses really do use a lot of water, energy, etc, and they largely benefit a small subset of people, it doesn’t make a ton of sense for them to exist. Of course making the world a better place for

Chinese people lives are getting better and they largely are on the same page. Meanwhile the US has DEI in the govt while the govt says DEI is bad. Minority authoritarian rule in the US with the Senate. The US is a brutal dictatorship all t
