whoops, i forgot i have lemmy.world blocked. i don't see comments or posts from that instance.
still tho, i wasn't getting the undiscovered 404 on dbzer0.
i'm going to ignore your posting history and assume for a moment you aren't a contrarian debate pervert. what exactly is the point you are trying to get across?
you agree that animal testing is fundamentally wrong, but because someone was unconsensually subjected to unethical experimentation, we need to keep the animal testing?
why do you feel the need to agree with people but then say 'but that's not how it works today'?
i see these types of comments in every comment section about societal problems. 'i agree X needs to change to Y, but we don't have Y today, sweaty. 💅' like- what? are you all really just trolls, or do you really think you're being insightful and helpful? because this isn't what a discussion looks like. it's dis-miss-ion.
what a harmful, elitist, high technocratic, economistic, no-true-scotsman take: someone who doesn't view the world in pure quantitative terms and understand precisely a dialect of jargon has no valuable insight?
why 'productivity' specifically? why not GDP? or GPI? or SPI? or HDI? or HPI? or GBMI (Goodhart's Bad Metric Index)?
you're right that this character wouldn't be part of a 'solution', under current conditions, because it would be formulated by a well-funded political thinktank, specialising in number-go-big policy, tacked to the end of a dredged report with absolutely no involvement from measly imperial subjects.
no, it's called information literacy and recognising insincerity. what you're doing is called deflection and splitting.
believe it or not: one does not have to pick which colour empire they like best, because one does not have to like an empire at all. no one is forcing you to consume hypocritical fearbait.

hmmm, i wonder if this 'researcher' for a warhawk and Israeli lobbying organisation is trustworthy!
FDD was founded shortly after the September 11 attacks in 2001. In the initial documents filed for tax-exempt status with the Internal Revenue Service, FDD's stated mission was to "provide education to enhance Israel's image in North America and the public's understanding of issues affecting Israeli-Arab relations". Later documents described its mission as "to conduct research and provide education on international terrorism and related issues".
'the Center on Economic and Financial Power' sounds like a ministry from Nineteen Eighty-Four.
i also find this quote amusing:
“Despite the problems for host countries and the large portfolio of failing loans for China, Beijing has still been successful at building influence across authoritarian-leaning regimes, who are eager to follow the Chinese model of single-party state control and high-tech domestic repression,” Dezenski says
the pot calling the kettle black. let me reword this:
"Despite the problems for host countries and the large portfolio of failing loans for the [United States|IMF], [Washington|Davos] has still been successful at building influence across authoritarian-leaning regimes, who are eager to follow the [American|Western|liberal] model of corporate state control and high-tech domestic repression," someone says

it seems to be, yeah. i think it's about how it's prepared. tempeh, edamame or any 'raw' beans are a no-go if i'm unstable, but tofu's been fine (and soya mince is okay, in moderation).
