I just showed you. Russia did the same crap before invading Ukraine, or do you have those pesky blinders on when it's Eastern countries waging imperialism...?

Alternatively: Will you condemn China if they engage in any sort of provocative military action against Taiwan?

I'm gonna assume it's either racist or bigoted.

"no u"

Well, that's very interesting. I take it you were okay with Biden sending weapons to Israel then but not Israel using them against Gaza? You know, for matters of consistency of course. If one isn't complicit in genocide, then neither is to you?

My turn? I'm a fair person, so sure:

Now you answer my question: Your country is responsible for the deaths of millions of children over the past 75 years. You seem to be against dead kids, why aren’t you doing anything about it, and instead demonizing nations you clearly have no clue about?

  1. Citation needed on those exact numbers because I'm interested -- but yes for the deaths of the children we did cause -- and I know we did sadly -- I am against it and hold myself to the betterment of humanity instead of loyalty to a single nation. I was critical of every imperial act we engaged in just the same -- the vast majority of that being a result of the Conservative right-wing ideology, usually under the Republican banner.

  2. By the way, my country is responsible for saving millions if not billions of children, thanks to our cutting-edge vaccination programs and work by USAID. Programs China has benefited from. You're welcome.

Oh well then if CCP says it, it must be true is that right good citizen Think you've got that, "actions speak louder than words" thing backwards, buddy lol.

Don't forget to pick up that can.

Not quite. That's a subtle deflection. Try again. Last chance.

No what's bigoted is the mistreatment of protesters in China, Tibetan monks, and Uyghurs.

You didn't answer the question: Do you enjoy that Xi is sending bombs and Chinese soldiers to Russia alongside NK to kill children in Ukraine, or do you condemn it?

In the meantime, please voice your complaints to your idols, please:

You sound very rational and stable, Lemmy.ml user.

It may be hard if using a translator or ESL, but that was sarcasm by the way.

Nothing about demonization -- In fact I welcome all immigrants and feel people should be free to come and go (China, you listening?); rather, it's just a revelation of ignorance and ethnocentric bias while deep-throating eastern propaganda.

Do you enjoy that Xi is sending bombs and Chinese soldiers to Russia alongside NK to kill children in Ukraine?

Dude that may just be my first cage match I'd watch, Hunter slamming any of the Trump sons down. Bonus: Kushner.

Not that I doubt it but what do you mean the DNC backed an indie candidate? I thought the DNC chair endorsed Mamdani following primaries?

All right-wing nutjobs end up in ruzzia at some point. What an utter shithole.

There may be an age or generational explanation for this, but I especially notice this behavior on Reddit while not nearly as much here on Lemmy (though maybe that's also a mater of implementation).

It seems many are so quick to assert overly-confident positions, but then hit-and-run with some smarmy remark at even the slightest challenge, then quickly block. Like, not even crazy stuff. Just basic, civil disagreements. I can pretty well predict when it will happen, and it always feels like such a petty ego-sparing fingers-in-ears denial thing to do, and to me if anything shows they were not very confident in their views being challenged.

I think I've only blocked a handful of people over a decade who were actively spamming, stalking, or spewing extremely hateful rhetoric and I just reported them simultaneously. You have to cross a pretty extreme and irrational line for me to do that.

The reason I ask is to see if I'm missing something; to better understand the mindset of those who do.

 

I recall reading about what I thought was an open source peer-to-peer https system intended to link neighborhood routers and relay nodes to other cities via satellite. I can't seem to find the one I'm thinking of.

 

I guess I'm curious about generations (namely GenZ and Alpha) who didn't live in a pre-Internet time. Like,

  • How was the concept first explained to you, or when did it click?
  • Do you understand how insane it is to have the aggregate of all human knowledge — the only comparable thing once being a physical library or university — one search away? That it's absolutely insane you can engage in a real-time conversation with someone on the opposite side of the world? That you can find niche communities in an instant?
  • Were your parents super strict about internet usage? How quickly did you find workarounds?
 

June 28 (Reuters) - A group of U.S. voters who were unable to choose between Joe Biden and Donald Trump before Thursday's presidential debate delivered their verdicts after the contest and it was almost universally bad news for Biden.

Of the 13 "undecideds" who spoke to Reuters, 10 described the 81-year-old Democratic president's performance against Republican candidate Trump collectively as feeble, befuddled, embarrassing and difficult to watch.

 

All undecided voters in a U.S. swing states focus group hosted by pollster Frank Luntz said President Biden should be replaced as the Democratic nominee after watching his first presidential debate against former President Trump.

 

Lord Cameron said while he would not support a major ground offensive in the Gazan city of Rafah, the UK would not copy US plans to stop some arms sales.

He said the UK supplies just 1% of Israel's weapons and warned Israel must do more to protect civilians and allow humanitarian aid through.

They must oblige within a certain time frame — even if your account has been suspended and I believe even if you've deleted your account. Curiously, this might be one effective way to protest. Golly I wonder what would happen if many people requested such reports simultaneously. It seems these must be processed manually by admins.

As a bonus, it's nice because all your comments and messages are searchable.
