I‘m sorry to hear that and I definitely didn’t want to inflict the feeling of “I paid to much what someone else was getting for free“ on you. Maybe you can see it as a little donation to China and Xi haha
Also: I also started to buy mostly everything second-hand now. It I rarely got disappointed!
tbh just dropped them a message that I‘m interested in Socialism with Chinese Characteristics and asked if I could get a copy. They seemed excited that someone asked!
Yes, no evidence for genocide. As reported by UN, Worldbank and Organization of Islamic Cooperation. But I‘m open to changing my opinion if you can present some facts? I‘m more than happy to provide sources if you can‘t find mine by googling.
Cheap solar panels IS A GOOD THING! We want and need them as cheap as possible, if we want to have at least a tiny chance in preventing a climate catastrophe. But Western imperialist only care about their profits.
It‘s true! You can ask the embassy for a copy
Many thanks to the person who shared that you can ask your local Chinese embassy for a copy of „The Governance Of China“.
I reached out to the Chinese embassy in Vienna and got not only a super friendly response, but also an invite to the embassy + 6 copies of the German translation (2x II, III, IV)!
How to make the move from Reddit?
Obviously there is more life on Reddit, but it‘s ironic that especially fans of TheDeprogram aren‘t able to make the move. Are there any ideas what we could do to motivate more people to turn their backs on Reddit?
One thing I‘m wondering about is if there is any etiquette for copying memes/content from Reddit, to give lemmy a jump-start? E.g. informing the poster on Reddit that their meme got collectivized for lemmy and they should let you know if they want to see it deleted. (This would make people more aware about Lemmy and would still give them some control over “their“ content.)
