Varyk, in Blinken’s trip hasn’t interrupted slide toward war

Wow, this article is just a burning pile of rubbish. No. Xi was not happy with trump. We had a trade war. No, kowtowing to dictators is not the way to stop dictators. How is trump brown-nosing xijinping an indication of "comprehensive economic policy"?

This is just a weird right-wing plea to allow civil-rights-abuse sympathizers back into US office.

Imagine being so ignorant that you think China is a dictatorship. 😂

goat,

It absolutely is a dictatorship. China ranks bottom 10 of all freedom indices.

goat,

Great sources there, dude. You're non-ironically linking socialistchina.org.

You expect anyone to take that seriously?

The Freedom Indices are aggregated lists from over nine different countries with nonprofit organisations dedicated to fairness, equality and, most importantly, freedom. They measure this through a variety of tactics, which you can visit by seeing each organisation.

All of your sources consist of the sane survey done on Chinese citizens on ranking their own government. North Korea would also be in favour of their government.

The man responsible for the survey, Edward Cunningham, also has investments in Chinese assets.

Most recently he has engaged in work on the rise of Chinese private wealth and philanthropy. He serves as an advisor to private and publicly listed companies in the energy, environmental, and financial services sectors.

Likewise, the survey source itself even acknowledges China's authoritarianism.

The rest of your sources are known for Fake Information..

Just in case you delete your comments out of embarrassment, I'm going to tag you, @yogthos

Stop spreading fake news. China is a dictatorship and one of the least freest countries.

yogthos,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

Yeah, I’m unironically linking to sources that aren’t US propaganda. I’m also linking to plenty of western sources like Harvard that say the same thing. Meanwhile, the freedom index is literal US propaganda that targets people who lack basic critical thinking facilities. Of course, your comment makes it pretty clear that no amount of facts would ever convince you. So, there’s no point trying to have a discussion with you.

goat,

You clearly didn't read my comment or my sources. Your only link is to the same survey reported by different fake news and misinformation outlets.

The Freedom Indices -- That's indices, there are multiple -- are aggregated lists from over nine different countries with nonprofit organisations dedicated to fairness, equality and, most importantly, freedom. They measure this through a variety of tactics, which you can visit by seeing each organisation.

love you ignored the stuff about Edward Cunningham and the fact your primary source even acknowledges China is authoritarian.

you look quite silly right now :3

yogthos,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

The fact that you don’t understand that the freedom index is US propaganda as opposed some independent list of genuine research shows that you’re incapable of rational thought. You’re just a shill for the empire. The fact that you think I’m the one who looks silly here just further adds to hilarity here.

yogthos,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

The fact that you thought I would delete my comments shows just how far off the deep end you are buddy. The only one who should be embarrassed here is you, but you don’t even realize it.

Varyk, in China hits back at Biden: ‘Extremely absurd’ to call Xi a dictator

In no way is it absurd to call Xi a dictator. It is a spot-on description.

CanadaPlus, (edited ) in TITANIC SUB SEARCH | USCG concludes missing Titan sub met 'catastrophic implosion'

Why did they go with carbon fiber anyway? It's light, but in a leisure submarine like that you could always just add more buoyancy if the thing gets heavy. Is this a case of an aerospace engineer thinking "everything looks like a nail"? It's poetic he was on it when the composite did the composite thing and became plastic again, if so.

UrbenLegend, in If you have a hard time understanding where the shortage of empathy for the sub crew comes from. here is a pretty good explainer.

Well fucking said.

exohuman, in Russia ambassador warns U.S. resolution pushes for nuclear war over Ukraine
@exohuman@kbin.social avatar

Sorry, I thought we were in 1970 again. Continue on with your proxy wars and nuclear annihilation threats.

DarkThoughts,

I hear nuclear threats from Russia on a weekly to monthly basis for the past year. I don't even care anymore. If they want to do it they'll do it anyway. So the only thing we can do is to be prepared and answer appropriately instead of letting us get all submissive and let them do whatever the hell they want. Nuclear weapons shouldn't be a free pass to act like an imperialistic asshole.

Nuclear weapons shouldn’t be a free pass to act like an imperialistic asshole.

Somebody should let US know.

Lols,

bigkahuna1986, in If you have a hard time understanding where the shortage of empathy for the sub crew comes from. here is a pretty good explainer.

If the sub had 5 random Joes instead of some millionaires, would the media give a crap? Would half the US navy be out looking for them? Not only did they suck so much wealth out of the lower classes to go on this trip, everyone is expected to bend over backwards to find these precious job creators. Imagine having that kind of safety net. I couldn’t even break my arm without declaring bankruptcy.

Shows as a strikethrough for me. Desktop.

Working fine here (kbin web interface). Possibly a limitation of whatever app you're using? I would expect it to work fine via web, though.

ccunix,

Jerboa too, and it is not rendering the strike through.

kiddblur,

Works for me, lemmy app

TheButtonJustSpins,

I installed the PWA because of the issues with Jerboa. Looking forward to Jerboa being a better experience eventually, though.

someguy3,

I played with both and prefer jerboa by a lot There's one bug where to respond to your inbox you have to long press next to the name to bring up options.

arefx,

I’m also on jerboa and don’t see the strikethrough

@Che_Donkey@lemmy.ml avatar

I mean, by all means you have the right to take yourself out however you want, but to take others with you is what they call “a dick move”.

I mean, I hate speaking ill of the dead, but fuck this guy.

jkure2,

Going to the bottom of the atlantic in a pringles can is a pretty baller way to do it to yourself too.

Charging a quarter mil to do it to others is decidedly not baller 😞

@ArugulaZ@kbin.social avatar

Hey, dead people are bastards, too.

Ertebolle,

If you’re going to speak ill of any of them, it should probably be the guy who was responsible for the deaths of the other four; when somebody murders his family and then himself, we don’t generally treat that person as a victim.

Wild_Mastic, in Sunken boat killing hundreds overshadowed by Titan submersible coverage

Unfortunately where I live we hear weekly in the news of these immigrants boats.

Can't do much as a small community, except sending help as soon as we know another one sunk.

carbonprop, in Titan sub CEO dismissed safety warnings as 'baseless cries', emails show

Every transport industry is heavily regulated with regards to safety for a reason. If you start a commercial enterprise on an untested vehicle you’re asking for trouble.

TheButtonJustSpins,

What could go wrong 13000 feet under the ocean?

13,000 feet into the ocean. Being under the ocean requires some digging, I think.

@maybe@lemmy.world avatar

I have no issues with an untested tin can as a traveling device through a high pressure environment. However, I am personally going to pass if the opportunity arises for me to try this out.

Drusas, in Russia ambassador warns U.S. resolution pushes for nuclear war over Ukraine

The proposed resolution "views the use of any tactical nuclear weapon by the Russian Federation, the Republic of Belarus, or their proxies, or the destruction of a nuclear facility, dispersing radioactive contaminates into NATO territory causing significant harm to human life as an attack on NATO requiring an immediate response, including the implementation of Article V of the North Atlantic Treaty."

Doesn't seem unreasonable. Any nuclear attack or disaster in Ukraine would affect neighboring countries.

sin_free_for_00_days,

Wait until the wind is blowing from the west, drop a nuke, viola! No fall out on NATO, no justification for an Article V response.

TomHardy,
@TomHardy@lemmy.ml avatar

Yeah shelling Nuclear power plants and using depleted uranium ammo is something only NATO clowns can do, when Russia is using something radioactive, we suddenly start to think about the neighbors!1!!1!

Valmond,

Nice whatabouism.

TomHardy,
@TomHardy@lemmy.ml avatar

In what sense? That the very gentlemen who tipped their hats and said to Russia’s concerns on toxic ammo “bla bla”, now assemble because of the same concerns, are called reasonable?

zurma,

Can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic but I’ll be charitable and assume you are.

TomHardy, (edited )
@TomHardy@lemmy.ml avatar

I don’t understand if you are sarcastic? Literally a few months ago the Britbongs announced they sent depleted uranium ammo to Ukraine, known for causing increased cancer rates and birth defects in the regions they are used. Japan said they will donate trucks which were used during Fukushima and still are radioactive to Ukraine. Now, NATO suddenly cares about contaminates? LMAO this only proves Westerners see Ukrainians as subhumans just as they see Russians, they put them through stuff they would never accept on their soil.

Lols,

anything on 'the use of any tactical nuclear weapon' or 'the destruction of a nuclear facility', what with that being what the conversation is about and all

TomHardy,
@TomHardy@lemmy.ml avatar

…, dispersing radioactive contaminates into NATO territory…

This you left out on purpose?

Lols,

having a rough day for some reason?

received some bad news, maybe?

Not really, just got reminded of this kind of memes bro https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/07da5cf3-390a-4fb8-a080-99ea5bbe8168.png

you really caught @terror_alarm on twitter in 4k

BackOnMyBS, in New Zealand PM disagrees with Biden, says Xi not a ‘dictator’
@BackOnMyBS@lemmy.world avatar

In science, we come up with concepts and then name them (ball hits wall = force). We then find other phenomena that match those definitions using objective criteria (does car hit pole = force? yes, so it's force).

In politics, we come up with terms and associate feelings to them through classical conditioning (dictator = bad, dictator = bad,...). We then find phenomena that affects us in beneficial or harmful ways (Chinese leader is good for New Zealand economy), then label them based on how we want others to feel about it (China leader ≠ dictator/bad).

SubArcticTundra,

Good analysis

panda_paddle, in Titan sub CEO dismissed safety warnings as 'baseless cries', emails show

I hate to say I'm glad he was the pilot, but I kinda am. If he was around right now he would be insufferable. Most likely going on a damage control tour talking about how it was a freak accident, it's not his companies fault and how they can't wait to resume tours.

He's just avoiding legal action. Good business man.
