  • You’re seeing a government with actual control over its capitalists and somehow calling that fascism, which is where corporate interests pilot the government like a sock puppet. It’s a stunning misrepresentation of the facts of China and of fascism. If you want an example of naked fascism, look at Israel or the US.

    You can use lots of words to criticize China, deserved or undeserved, but calling them Fascist is a joke.

  • Yeah, generally the best way to make fascists feel stupid is to make them seem weird or dorky.

  • I say this as someone who does enjoy some 40k media. It’s not a real satire.

    It can’t be a satire until there’s a real alternative shown to the empire, at least hypothetically. Not while there are things in the lore that actually ‘justify’ a fascist response. Not until every rebellion stops being chaos or genestealers.

    Speaking of genestealers, take them as an example. Nothing about them adds to a satire of fascism. They do the opposite. They show fascism as correct. Evil outsiders coming into poison the bloodlines of the people, to drive them to madness and revolution, and the only solution is to kill all of them. That’s not a satire.

  • Kamala continuing her streak of being one of the top losers of all time

  • lab toys

  • Engineering is the most chud of all academic fields. Beyond the engineering stemlord aspect, there’s a lot of military money floating around.

    There’s some similar things with bio fields and pharmaceutical/bioengineering money.

  • I look all those things he described, and just like, a lot of states are just like that in the US too lol. Look in a fucking mirror god damn.

  • /r/WorldNews is a controlled garden, and if you say anything against the moderation’s line, you’ll get banned. It’s even become noticeable even to normal ass Reddit users.

  • Yeah, machine learning actually has a ton of very useful applications in things. It’s just predictably the dumbest and most toxic manifestations of it are hyped up in a capitalist system.

  • To be honest, I’m skeptical. While the UAW has gotten better, and Shawn Fain was an improvement, the org is still not great. There’s a lot of functionaries still lurking around, doing business union things.

  • Oh yeah I certainly agree. It definitely matters a lot. I just don't the west has the industrial capacity currently to match that rate. Most of the arms were from deep, old, stockpiles, not fresh production. There'd need to be a pretty big reindustrialization push to get anywhere close.

  • While you might not agree with everything on our instance, the weekly news threads are pretty good at collating news and sources as things happen. It’s a decent thing to browse at least.

  • A bigger reason is that their manpower is depleted from so many dead. Not to mention various defensive lines not getting built.

  • No, I'm saying it because the front line is collapsing as we speak. I'm not a Putin-stan lol. I'd be persecuted in Russia.

  • You're massively overstating things, if you think his coverage of the democratic party and the US electoral system at large is positive lol.

  • I feel like this is just fascist propaganda to further entrench Netanyahu's position. The idea of Brandon taking a move like this against Israel seems iffy.

    In the queue of about 130 people, only 20 are male. Men aged 18-60 are not allowed to leave Ukraine unless they qualify for an exemption. Four of those waiting are young lads who look close to turning 18. To avoid the risk of mobilisation, they must leave before then. Of course, some men find ways to get out anyway, legally or illegally. On August 11th President Volodymyr Zelensky announced he was sacking the heads of the country’s regional military recruitment centres, where officials were alleged to be selling travel permits for up to $10,000. “Bribery during war is treason,” Mr Zelensky railed.

    In the initial period after the invasion most men trying to get across were driven by fear, says Colonel Trachuk. Now she reckons half are looking for work. But those trying to escape military service must live at risk of being apprehended by recruitment officers and press-ganged. At the beginning of the invasion Ivan, a 42-year-old musician in Uzhhorod, contemplated enlisting, but changed
