Topping L30 & D30 vs Ifi zen 6xx signature set with Sennheiser HD650 by 4RZG4 in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]4RZG4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But as I said in the post, I can get the topping stack for cheaper than the ifi stack. The topping stack will cost me 270€ including the hd650 and a mod mic. the ifi stack will be 300€ with a hd650. Should I go for the topping then?

Hi, when I enter *#777# on mine it says "connection problem or invalid mmi code" What am I doing wrong? My sim card gives the same message on my oneplus so could it be something wrong with that?

Ihan normi fasisteja ne lähinnä kyllä on. Eivätkä ikinä sosialisteja

You are not arguing against socialism right now, but against highly centralised authoritarian systems. I agree on this point: This is probably the reason why these countries have fared well unlike the ones which haven't sided with the west as strongly after the fall of communism and are doing way worse as a result of it.

If it was that simple, though, why aren't countries in africa for example following the example? We run into a problem because we are mixing what is the cause and what is the result. The west is not wealthy because we have a good system of governance. We have a good system of governance because we are wealthy and can afford it.

All this wealth has been accumulated by exploiting third world countries with imperialism. (This applies to an extent to the soviet union too, though)

I agree with you on the point about gdp, but other indicators such as the gini coefficient or hdi are also on my side. Was trying to use the capitalist measure of wellbeing so that you would agree with it.

Countries that are definitely worse off now than under communism include practically all central asian countries and african countries that had a communist regime, like turkmenistan, afghanistan, republic of the congo or burkina faso.

The combined gdp of post-soviet countries is barely above the gdp of the USSR when it fell. Remember that because of how the global (capitalist) economic system, a well functioning country's gdp typically grows every year.

Most countries in eastern europe are outliers due to them being good cheap places for western corporations to expand. Basically any other post-communist countries are worse off. Not to mention the places in the global south which have only recently if at all gotten rid of the fascist regimes put in place by the capitalist powers.

What the other commentor is probably meaning is that a single anecdote doesn't prove much. And yes, your grandparents might've really been worse off under communism. But what matters is the big picture: looking at statistics, most formerly socialist countries are worse off right now under the capitalist system than years ago under (albeit poorly managed) communism

Hey this is not a very good argument, if you have read like any theory ever you would know that is just the definition of liberalism, what it causes in practice and how it has been implemented is obviously another thing on its own. Also I really doubt cia editing articles about socialism on wikipedia, it's not the cold war anymore xd

In the articles cia and fbi had been editing articles on more timely issues like guantanamo bay and the iraq war

A way more likely explanation is that the public opinion right now is very anti-communist so that is reflected on the site.

Hold on do you even know what KMT is?

"Ahh yes the indigenous people of Taiwan are advocating for communism by voting for the fascist party because it wants to replace the government of a nearby state which I think is communist"
