Start here

If you want recent coverage from everyday people, you can find social media posts from Chinese tourists. You can always Look at the state media. You already know they’ll be bias in their own favor, but that doesn’t mean everything they publish is fake. Look for other sources for confirmation. Most of it will be boring reports, which is less likely to be exaggerated.

They don’t call you old fashioned for that, they call you tankie. It’s because they’re mad that you don’t buy the bullshit they push. Look at all the claims they make about the USSR here while providing no evidence or context for the situations they claim people were living in.

They compare apples to oranges when it’s communism they are criticizing and stick their fingers in their ears while screaming when it comes to criticizing crapitalism.

Meanwhile the US builds house and sells them to corporations who have no interest in letting someone live there.

Your only source on the DPRK is Radio Free Asia. Go push a train by hand you clown.

Edit: To clarify, the above was in response to the original comment, which was edited to be much more reasonable after my response.

Translations:

“If someone uses drugs, they deserve to be homeless.”

“It’s impossible that people would pick up a drug habit to cope with their homelessness problem.”

“Anyone else who becomes homeless is just dumb or lazy. It’s their fault they don’t have my privilege and I’ll ignore any amount of evidence to not rethink my shitty, self-entitled world view.”

Communism is when I have to work and they don’t! Wait…no, that’s capitalism.

How many people become homeless while having full-time work? I’m sure they just didn’t work hard enough to deserve a place to live.

But those trade relationships are definitely equitable these days, right?

…right??

Sure, it was for spices, definitely not for money.

It was a different time. We don’t do that anymore!

It gets worse than this.

Not only does most scientific instrument software become abandonware, but there are companies that sell instruments that use the exact same components as they did 20 years ago. The only difference is now they swapped the stainless steel parts for plastic and charge luxury car prices for what will be a piece of garbage in 3 years. These pieces have nothing to do with chemical compatibility and everything to do with increasing the frequency of maintenance that the older models never needed.

Go read some socialist theory if you truly support socialism. Your ignorance on the topic is palpable.

To add more: the last chatel slave in the US was freed in 1942. During WWII.

Why? Not because it was the right thing to do, but because the optics of having slaves looked bad and the Japanese Empire (of all institutions) was calling the US out.

People living and running the country to this day fought tooth and nail against the civil rights movement. Slavery is not ancient history, it’s part of what’s allowed a small portion of the current world population to lead a privileged life.

Also Don’t look up how the US military was able to influence that movie! It’s uselessly vague or redacted!

Mfw I remember Democrats had the majority in the Senate and the house as well as a SCOTUS that would back them, but they didn’t codify Roe v Wade.

I experienced the same thing. Thankfully it eventually stopped automatically feeding up his vids.

Haha, casual sexism is funny when it’s a sibling!

Thank you! What a reasonable take.

I don’t post my dissent because I have no sense of humor or because I expect people to universally agree with my own sense of humor. I posted this because I hoped some people would think, “huh, maybe I shouldn’t post jokes that further propagate the harms caused by patriarchy when there are plenty of other jokes I can make or ways I can phrase the same joke that aren’t at the expense of those around me.”

Maybe I want to live in a world where women are treated with the same respect as men. Part of making that change is not continuing to use language that is harmful towards them and calling out others for it when I see it.

TLDR: Do better OP. The bar is on the floor and you and everyone upvoting you still somehow missed it.

200? Try 1000. It has “analytical” in the name, so you apply a 5x upcharge to the “science” price modifier.
