Cause it literally is. Russia has legalized domestic violence and persecution of LGBTQ+. China outlawed feminine men in media.

Both treat their minorities in the worst possible way, worse than any western nation.

Both are aggressively expanding towards their neighbors and in other places.

Stay ignorant, tankie

You listed three countries, dude. Tell me what colonies they currently have?

What about the rest of the world? For example China or Russia? Why exactly do they have less colonies?

Do you think the US is the entire west?

Do you think non western countries care more about casualties?

Your stupid meme just makes my point more stand out that you have all your knowledge from memes

On the subs I visited on reddit I’ve encountered virtually no fascists. I don’t need to discuss politics all day and even then the takes were way less extreme than on here.

It might be difficult to imagine for some of the zealots on Lemmy but I don’t want to be stuffed to the brim with Chinese and Russian propaganda. I don’t need to hear how bad the west is and how it has to burn, die, whatever. I don’t care how superior the communist ideology is and why liberals are the root of evil.

It literally reads like a bunch of absolute idiots and edge lords thriving in their bubbles, be it hexbear, chapo stuff, political memes, etc.

You can get used to everything, most people would probably quit though.

I spend maybe a tenth of the time here that I spent on reddit

It’s also not really a place for normal people.

I’d never recommend Lemmy to anyone that isn’t used to dealing with tankies and delusional zealots

Incredibly ignorant and uninformed take lmao

Still miles ahead of the rest

I think you make an interesting point and got me thinking, didn’t want to come of as standoffish or something.

I just think science pointing at faith loses the nuance between the assumption that a working theory is currently correct and the deep belief in dogma. Technically you could call both faith, but they are very different.

As you pointed out science deals with unknowns and sometimes there’s not even a theory. Faith has historically been one of the primary ways to deal with any kinds of unknowns, of course, but it’s not the only one.

I agree that being a scientist and being faithful isn’t a contradiction. I feel like science is a very broad term and certain disciplines might be more or less inclined to be religious though.

MacOS is a lot worse than Windows tbh

You mean like in Afghanistan? Where they proceeded to close these schools and sell the infrastructure the second the military left?

Cool story bro

There’s a difference between working with the latest and most probable hypothesis under the assumption that it could be wrong and faith in a religious sense.

Faith and dogma leave no shred of doubt that they’re right. Science acknowledges that it could be completely wrong but we have no further data to replace at this point in time.

Katzen sind so lächerlich wählerisch. Richtig witzig

Israel has been there for decades without being at war with Palestine and there was no peace.

I don’t know what they have been doing with their influence to this point then.

Cats don’t fuck around. Delivered the classic 3 piece with a soda

Who cares? Saudis are a fundamentalist theocracy built on oil money

It’s not. People are just afraid of being replaced, especially when they weren’t that original or creative in the first place.

Firstly, Putin has decent support in spite of the elections being a sham.

Secondly, there’s literally nothing else you can do to make a regime change happen from the outside. Except war, which no one wants.

So keep rolling your eyes in ignorance.

That’s the point as the people are enabling the government
