Return to buttons. This "infotainment" fad is seriously dangerous.

My hot take is that if you sell your soul to the Nazis to fight for independence, you should be dealt with like a Nazi.

In other words, every Chinese tourist is expected to act as a spy.

Mask off with the fifth column accusations.

I have a hunch this language suppression meme is fake news. I'll get back to you guys in a decade or two to see if I was right.

China is like 90th or so now in car ownership. Definitely great that this is happening before automobile ownership skyrocketed (America 😒)

1. It would be a waste of time and money
2. You'd ask for an even bigger devil's milkshake afterwards. There is no sating your superstitious trials

You are being illogical. You claim that Hexbear will not respect instance rules, yet the linked post on Hexbear has their admins explicitly begging their users to respect other servers' rules. The truth is that you do not want a large quantity of users with heterodox opinions mingling with your own. This is why you block Hexbear but not the smaller Lemmygrad. Instead, I suggest you add to your Code of Conduct that lemmy.world is an anti-communist server and will not tolerate Marxist-Leninists. That way you will no longer be hypocritical, and you will probably also make a lot of your users happy!

edit: I see I am being downvoted - clearly by Leninists angry that I suggest a divorce! However, your emotions will not silence my pure logic!

Great way to beat the Islamophobia allegations

Because among the countries that have greatly exceeded their fair share of CO~2~ emissions, the United States is the largest economy. Your link has some data relevant for future predictions and policy targets. However, when discussing climate reparations we must look elsewhere: cumulative CO~2~ emissions, technological and economic development, and vulnerability to climate change.

Europe and its settler colonies went on a global rampage for centuries. They built the largest human trafficking operation in human history, enslaving tens of millions of Africans. Wherever they went, they stole people's land, killed them when they fought back, and then took all of their resources as well. This still exists to this day, but in a less overt manner. It is why we have "developed" countries and "underdeveloped" countries. In reality, we mostly have exploited and exploiter countries. The loot from Africa, Asia, and the Americas kickstarted capitalism in Europe and the settler-colonies, and industrialization via fossil fuel extraction followed thereafter. The cumulative CO~2~ produced by these countries is not consistent with 1.5°C of warming, yet they expect the countries that they destroyed and left poor to do better while barely helping at all. To make matters worse, the exploiter countries continue to pollute, locking in more global warming. This will inevitably hurt equatorial regions more than themselves.

The US does have stacks of cash, and a decent industrial base as well. With a change of heart (lol), it could embark on a rapid renewable rollout as well as green, non-predatory international finance. Unfortunately, the only country doing something like this is China, which ironically has not wildly overshot its fair share nor engaged in colonialism. Still, China will probably exceed this fair share threshold. If the West was truly concerned about climate change, climate colonial reparations would have begun a couple of decades ago.

Can't wait for it to be released, everything ends up fine, people forget about it, and then we go through the same hysteria in a few decades next time there's an accident.
