What Lenin, Deng and Xi know is that it is good to acquire the knowledge of experts. All of them did that and the West is mad about it. The very system they espouse does forbid them to interfere with that (in theory).

However this article is propaganda as it tries to implicate that "bad" China isn't able to do stuff without "good" China. Which is bullshit.

that so many people are entirely disenfranchised by their apartheid system

In Berlin more than 20% of the adult population isn't allowed to vote. In most Israel cities that number is lower. So if you use that attack do absolutely turn it into the imperial core, too, and call out their racism, national chauvinism and white supremacy.

This is kinda a good description

In the end, it's impossible to say for sure whether Elon Musk has autism without a formal diagnosis. While his communication style and behavior may suggest that he is on the autism spectrum, there are other factors that could be at play.

I don't know if he got autism. For sure there are plenty of other reasons why he acts like that. With labels and without.

Fundamental chemical engineering reality prevents it from scaling to extent needed for production of commodity protein

Some people I know in the general field and a PhD chemist and a factory process engineer I talked with do disagree with that a bit.

Something I do see as chance are future generation bioreactors in any case.

it fails as a way to avoid animal exploitation because fetal bovine serum vampired out of cow fetuses is still required to make the stuff.

That is true but can be substituted in the future.

The main points that help us now are changes in consumption, resilience and an end of capitalism.

There’s no way around it.

I am not totally convinced with that part, but the rest I would critically support.

If you grow plant matter in labs or hydroponics with usage of sunlight and water nutrition enhancement you will be better than lab meat, but there are plenty of plants which in the wild are less good. However there are also plenty which are good enough and widely available in the soils we currently got.

Your point will at least for 15-30 years be totally true (since energy production for both lab meat and hydroponics is on average bad).

The Berlin 1944 argument is not that good.

With good connections you typically had ways to pass as being non Jewish in public life (or till you were assigned another status). All people over 15 had to have IDs, for Jewish kids this was often the case even when they were younger than 15. So open play by Jewish kids was virtually non existent in 1944 in Berlin.

https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/berlin

Beginning in 1942, Jews were deported from Berlin directly to the killing centers, primarily to Auschwitz-Birkenau. In 1943, most of the staff of the Reich Association of Jews in Germany, the central Jewish representative organization, was deported to Theresienstadt. All Jewish organizations and offices were disbanded. The majority of the remaining Jews in Berlin were deported by the end of April 1943.

More than 60,000 Jews were deported from Berlin:

more than 10,000 to the ghettos in eastern Europe about 15,000 to Theresienstadt and more than 35,000 to the killing centers in occupied Poland.

Hundreds of Jews committed suicide rather than submit to the deportations. Thousands of Jews remained in Berlin, mostly those who had gone into hiding and also part-Jews and Jews with a non-Jewish spouse, who were initially excluded from deportation. Almost all of those deported were killed.

Von über 5000 Juden, die in Berlin nach 1939 in den Untergrund gingen, überlebten nur 1800, darunter die Familie Segal. Der Aufwand, den sie betrieb, ist herausragend – und zugleich exemplarisch.

Out of 5000 Jews who lived in Berlin after 1939 in the underground only 1800 survived

I like RAND corp documents, they are openly arguing for and against things which some people think are "unthinkable". Then they print those up and distribute them in the typical US think tanks and places of governing power as well as archives (which is were I get them from mostly).

Bro (but honestly you could've also used my name), I am handicapped by society, too.

If you are one of us don't throw pathologizing words around as slurs.

Like in horror movies, the burners have been warned: https://hexbear.net/comment/3852183

The police used violence to silence the people warning, like in good horror movies, too.

Well if it is the rules it has to be done.

Yes, he is. The other high upvoted poster I linked to is in the military. So a prison guard and a soldier were among the two loudest voices to have Hexbear banned.
