Read Settlers by J Sakai, the entire book addresses this one question for white USians.

Thanks for pointing out the issue! That makes a lot more sense.

I kinda agree, but there must have been some practicality issues with doing so.

Buses can take the new bridge. Also, there’s already rail between the 2 cities. Here’s Baidu Maps’ options for the trip:

It is kinda annoying that the trip is 30 minutes by car, but at least 1 hr 30 minutes by high speed rail and costs 100+ yuan. See qwename’s comment for more accurate info ⬇️

Fucking parasites. I know China already has laws against capital flight, but increasing their strength would never hurt. Why would you ever let people make money in your country, with your infrastructure, then have them fuck off as soon as you ask for some of it back?

Fnally, my anime knowledge is coming in handy.

Crunchyroll is like Netflix, but dedicated to anime. They used to compete with Funimation, a rival anime streaming service owned by Sony, but then Sony bought Crunchyroll also and merged the two under the Crunchyroll name. Together, they now own 90%+ of the Western anime streaming market. Predictably, Crunchyroll’s prices have ticked steadily upward since.

Not only does this hurt consumers, it also harms animators and voice actors. Because there’s no competition, Crunchyroll can lowball animation studios, which is one reason why Japanese animators are so overworked and underpaid. Similarly, Crunchyroll despises all unions, and since they’re the only game in town, most voice actors are forced to go unionless and accept shittier pay. This keeps unions in the animation industry perpetually weak.

The only things stopping Crunchyroll from becoming a full monopoly is the well-developed pirating industry around anime. Netflix, Disney Plus, and HIDIVE are technically competitors also, but each have glaring issues. Netflix is even more shit, Disney Plus buries anime in their catalog so you can’t find them, and HIDIVE is too small to be worth paying for.

Simple, really. If black/brown, shoot. If white, don’t shoot.

There are various tools you can use to strip metadata from the final image if you want to.

If you play Fursan Al-Aqsa, then turn to leftism, I think it’s possible. Unfortunately, most gamers are pissed at much dumber things such as complaining about in-game females not being naked enough.

United Fruit Co. IS Chiquita. Don’t let their rebrand fool you into forgetting their criminal history.

They gotta pad those falling GDP numbers.

Agree, Discord is kinda a ticking time bomb for privacy. Their privacy policy is sus as f*ck.

Nice suggestions! I really need to make an account to be an editor sometime, to motivate me to learn more about socialism and communism.

One suggestion I have is to expand the library as a backup for present-day socialist works. For instance, I maintain the r/Deprogram Wiki backup here on Lemmygrad, but would like to move it to Prolewiki where it belongs more, and so more people can work on it. Is this OK, or is there no system for this yet?

Just how much has Bongbong Marcos’ propaganda fucked up the Philippine people?

I’ve talked to people from the Philippines who say that the Marcos family has made several propaganda movies of themselves, showing themselves as “regular people” (albeit with shittons of jewels and shoes way out of reach of the average Filipino) and benevolent leaders under Ferdinand Marcos’ dictatorship.

This is the same Ferdinand that killed and tortured all his opposition with US support, and robbed ~$7 billion from the Philippines Central Bank when he was finally kicked out to Hawaii.

You see, when the wind blows from South to North, any shit carried along is free expression. However, when the wind blows from North to South, flying shit is a grave national security threat.

Hell yeah. If the US can sail a ship between Taiwan and China and call it freedom-of-navigation, Russia has even more right to sail ships between Miami and the Bahamas.

Lexend. It’s a font designed with research to have variable widths to aid legibility.

There’s even an Arabic+Latin version called Readex Pro. There’s a really cool article documenting how they adapted variable widths to the unique connected structure of Arabic writing.

There are only 2 ways the worker-capitalist contradiction can ever be solved:

• communism
• exterminism (from Peter Frase’s Four Futures), where the capitalists finally fulfill their dream of automating everything and can genocide all the unneeded workers.

It’s quite important we bring about revolution before option 2 becomes viable.

This is quite an interesting study into how we prevent LLMs from absorbing the capitalist thought that dominates the interwebs.

It seems that the West only treats India as a fully exploitable market and a place for them to brain drain people from.

For instance, Indians staff all of the US tech companies, but India has no Big Tech of its own. It’s like the country’s politicians only aspire for it to be a baby making factory for the USA.

Tsinghua University made a nice multi-language rendition to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the CPC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNPKRjNEZ5E
