This is where that criticism rings the most true, that party lead state bureaucracy is, in function, indistinguishable from neoliberalism.

President Xi Jinping in 2021 warned of the need “not to fall into the trap of ‘welfarism’ that encourages laziness”.

and this! How disappointing. What's the point of a Chinese century if your gonna step on the exact same rake the Americans have been impaling themselves on?

really annoying to watch them go

You expect Trump to un-ban Tiktok?! DOn't you know four years ago he said he wanted it banned???? Way to fall for the propaganda, bub.

as if hundreds of Democrat representatives didn't vote for this, as if Biden wasn't the one who signed it into law. It's gonna be extra pearl-clutch-y when he forces a negotiated ceasefire in Ukraine...

If you permit me a little generational warfare, as a treat;

it's really funny having grown up with Gen-x and older millennials insisting themselves to be different from their parents/grandparents, only for so many of them to immediately default to the same Cold War mentality as soon as the "end-of-history" pretext collapses.

“If the price of ending the war is turning Ukraine into a no man’s land, this will be a defeat not only for Kyiv but for Europe and its security.”

HOW THE FUCK DID YOU THINK THIS WAS GONNA END. Look at Korea. Look at Vietnam. I am going to google this man, and if he was alive earlier than 1985 im gonna start typing in all caps again

People who hide behind the word "escapism" are absolutely the sort of people who will go off on a rant about how places like China or Russia or [insert target country here] are full of unthinking drones that wouldn't dream of contradicting the status quo. :projection:

Outer Wilds never got a game award. I mean, I had to go look it up just now just in case, because the game awards are about as on my radar as the ocars.

One theory among researchers is they're just playing around.

it's just a joke, can't anyone take a joke anymore?

Other researchers say it may be that the whales like the feel of the rudder.

lol
