I quit Meta because of tech bro fascism, and hated Twitter even before it was X because, let’s face it - nobody has ever changed their opinion on anything because of a Twitter conversation (I know I’m exaggerating, to get my point across). I was in Reddit for a few weeks, and the conversations there seem mostly friendly and constructive, but I decided I don’t want to have anything to do with social media corporations. Besides, I noticed I could scroll endlessly. And that’s not good for me.

Lemmy seems nice. There are still some topics I’m interested in that don’t have active communities, and I’m still learning on how to have my feed from multiple instances. But still, this is the way to go for me.

Against algorithms, against fascism, for free internet. Thanks for coming to my boring Ted talk and have a nice day.

So many countries are worse than mine. Oh boi, do you know how bored I am hearing about free state Congo and Belgian Congo? It's just people wikipedia'ing it while I had it in my history classes.

Aight let's see 1885 to 1908. Whoopsie. Free state Congo. Literally ran like a company without any human rights whatsoever. No information of atrocities are leaving the country. 10 million Congolese died. Leopold II even hated the maiming, not because of his kind heart, but because they couldn't work without hands.

Then 1909 to 1960 Belgian Congo.

At the peak of colonisation 10 to 20% of Belgian GDP depended on the Congo. A lot of development happened but it was all in order to extract resources.

1979... Whoopdiedaisie, they really did not succeed in having stability. Their purchasing power decreased to not even 10% of what it was in 1960.

Now it's China's turn.

Buddy, my child is half Asian. My wife looks Chinese according to people from her own country. She probably has Han DNA.

I don't give a fuck.

I only talk about china because most people on this platform view China as the shining hope. That can do no wrong.

If you dislike china, then I'll start talking good about china 🤣

This really just is a game to me isn't it

And so many more would be, but your country contains you.

I found that telling you my positions on anything just gives you something to troll with, but it turns out that my positions don't matter to you since you're just trolling. Like so:

Well, that's because you're a troll.
