News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Highly skilled immigrants from countries with authoritarian regimes are immigrants (among other reasons, mostly) because of those regimes. Makes sense that they’ll go back to their own authoritarian regime when the country they’ve immigrated to becomes authoritarian as well.
Fascism in your own (ie born and raised) country is bad, fascism where you’re an immigrant is much worse.
Right, it's kind of a no brainer.
Option A: Do I want to be an oppressed scientist working under an evil authoritarian government that will definitely steal my work and feed it to a chaotic monster gobbling down infinite bits of data to create something that will either fizzle out or destroy humanity?

Option B: Do I want to be an oppressed scientist working under an evil authoritarian government that will definitely steal my work and feed it to a chaotic monster gobbling down infinite bits of data to create something that will either fizzle out or destroy humanity AND also deal with racist idiots shitting on me for being an immigrant and somehow inherently responsible for destroying their country?
Don't forget the shit healthcare and just generally how absurdly expensive everything is.
That makes sense ans in addition it seems like the research conditions themselves are starting to shift in favour of the other regime.
Luv it. Also China actually isn't as bad as we think. They are one step behind us. If we are not carefully, they will overtake us financially, technologically and even democratically.
If there is an authoritarian country I could tolerate, it would be Singapore. I can live without chewing gum.
