wow lemmy is full of liberals

Ya think maybe producing most of the world's shit has anything to do with that pollution, buddy? Like wow the west outsourced most of its manufacturing to China, no fucking shit it's going to produce more pollution. What's their per capita #s look like, frienderino?

Aren't collective punishments literally a violation of human rights

once i binged a shitload of adderall for 3 weeks to paint a realistic oil painting of a cat for my ex to try to win her back. It was a very good painting, amazing imo with my lack of training

It wasn't even of her cat though i literally googled cats and copied one. Idk what I was thinking. She just always wanted me to paint something that wasn't abstract lol

No it didn't work but she still has it 11 years later so that's nice at least

how do you spend a trillion dollars on something and not end up with a plane that flies itself while it sucks you off

do you blame the guy

I can and do in fact blame the guy

the unspoken (hell, sometimes spoken) assumption is that China would be doing a lot better with a Western-style neoliberal economy, which is an extremely funny assertion when all these economies are doing even worse than China is

if this dogshit blind ideologically poisoned take were even remotely accurate we'd have seen India, Russia, etc making gains against poverty that China has. Instead, woops.

lmfao sure lib

remember when the west kept accusing China of fucking with its covid numbers but actually that was pretty much every western nation? lol

🙄

My understanding is that literally almost all global gains against poverty have come from China, you know the gains against poverty neoliberals like to attribute to neoliberalism?? Haha it's all been in China. China actually plans and builds infrastructure for people to use and live in. Remember all the articles about Chinese ghost cities, with the implication being that China was building a bunch of useless buildings to juice their GDP? Yeah people live in those now.

Something like 95% home ownership? Etc etc etc etc.

oh no, beijing's repressive political system, if only they had our blessed American government they could be grinding the working class to the bone so much better 😔 😔 😔 😔 😔 😔
