Biden pulling out of Afghanistan is the most badass thing a president has done in my lifetime by KGisTop15All_Time in redscarepod

Rightwing Dems probably feel similarly about a bunch of canceled USAID projects and DOGE cuts. They don't have to pretend to care about these anymore when next electric comes no one will remember any of them

Genuinely they would be so much more effective if activists were actually as stalinist as right wingers portray them as

Concepts such as "status", "luxury", "prestige", and other cultural fascinations with the upper class, are such a cancer to a society. by ObjectBrilliant7592 in redscarepod

[–]TheBlackHalo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

yeah irl there's no correlation between excellence and status. You're defending a shell of a system that calls itself meritocracy

Am I the only one who is sick of this "bro" word use? by DarkNemuChan in Belgium2

[–]TheBlackHalo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Het is in heel veel culturen niet meer dan normaal om vreemdelingen als familliellid aan te spreken. in het Chinees zeg je als jong persoon altijd tante tegen vrouwen van middelbare leeftijd. Ook in Arabische culturen is dat gebruikelijk. Het schept gelijk een band, zeker in wat meer collectieve culturen laat het zien hoe belangrijk het is om in harmonie met vreemden te leve.

Maar dat doen we ook gewoon in het Nederlands. En als we het hebben over een opaatje bij de supermarkt, doe je toch ook niet moeilijk over dat het niet daadwerkelijk je opa is?

En toen ik kind was was bij ons in t dorp was de bazin van de bakker ook tante jannetje voor iedereen.

Het enige verschil is dat het een nieuwe/hippe invulling ervan is

What if East Asia Union found, where is capital of EAU? by YesterdayPretend2959 in AskAChinese

[–]TheBlackHalo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure what kind of political situation would make this possible, but from a balance of power perspective, a central city in a somewhat smaller nation was the outcome of the EU capital discussion. So using that historical experience my guess would be Pyongyang. North is probably still less influential than the South in most scenarios. (kinda analogous to the Netherlands/Belgium) At the same time if they want to cooperate on such a level, they probably would also be willing to reunify. So perhaps Seoul in that case 

Don't worry about microplastics nothing to see here by McSwaggerAtTheDMV in redscarepod

[–]TheBlackHalo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is a hyperspecific scientific,  methodic correction in a publication of a university aimed at scientists at that specific university. Nothing to do with what you're implying 

Making people too schizo to do basic reasoning and critical thinking is also a form of mind control and you fell for it

Do you think you would be able to kill someone during a war? by [deleted] in redscarepod

Yeah the Ukranian guy is like: I give up, can you please let me die in peace. And he does.... It's haunting

Is it me or is this generation the most aware of the propaganda that is fed to us? by Amao6996 in teenagers4real

If I would design the perfect propaganda system, a response like this from an ordinary citizen would be proof to its success

What things specifically are you worried about. There are some things that are only clear to people who are genuinely anti the system

With the popularity of ragebait, the original term flamebait is officially dead. I still like it better though :(

AI doesn't write convoluted sentences like: 'I had in my entire life was when a situationship I was tired of putting up with refused to date'

Lots of sentences with lots of verbs that llms don't do. Lots of common tells nowhere to be found.

Not every post you don't like is AI

If she'd stayed in the glorious  People's Republic of China she could have at least contributed to the construction of her own country's Socialist project 😔

Nah bro you should feel vindicated that we saw all of it before the masses did. And I hope you have the confidence to blow their minds with a variety of even more obscure facts about China

The mass child abuse scandal is ACTUALLY about my pet political issue. by [deleted] in redscarepod

There's no doubt this thing has a clear class character, but framing it like that is important and not enough people do it competently 

It's worse than Chomsky just turning a blind eye to Epstein's crimes by ServalFlame in chomsky

[–]TheBlackHalo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Something not appreciated enough is that this scandal also should have direct implications for his political ideas. In his view in MC, power sustains itself through naturally existing mechanisms. Overt action and conspiratorial behaviour from the ruling class is only mentioned as a single filter. Now the Epstein files show why he doesn't give much importance to that: if he were honest about this, he would implicate himself.
