I doubt climate change is a problem any longer. We will all have died in nuclear fire before.

I fucking hate it.

Screenshot and record everything. Make sure they will never forget.

I am pretty sure it’s 95% deeply rooted racism and the rest is the result of the ongoing propaganda campaign.

Wtf is a “Stalingrad”? Sounds very authoritarian.

You are really desperately trying to get a rise out of me, aren’t you? It’s not gonna work.

And who are you calling chronically online? My account made around 230 comments and 16 posts in a span of a year. Your account has made 280 comments in the span of TWO MONTHS. 🪞

China: manages to produce 7nm chips with older technology

This guy: Nooooo. Ther is no way the CCP can find solutions to problems. They must have bought them in secret and are only pretending to produce them on their own!

Really delicious tears 😋

I’m just not dirty tankie scum.

You are not a communist then. Just a liberal who read the communist manifesto once.

Ohh definitely. While there where good reasons for the high focus on heavy industry, the lack of consumer goods was a reason for the fall of the GDR.

Yes exactly. I want you to read the forbidden tomes so you will fall to the ruinous powers of communism.

I recommended a 300 pages long book not a paper. You said you spend 30 minutes with it. That’s not enough to even skim it.

It’s weird my mother and her siblings all lived in the GDR. The GDR was disbanded when they were in their early to late twenties. My mother who was the oldest sibling has quite fond memories of the GDR (even though she was annoyed at some aspects so much that she considered putting forth an exit application. My uncles who where in their early twenties when the GDR fell don’t think that way. They have adopted the Soviet Union bad, America good mindset.

Why ask a question when you can’t be bothered with engaging in the answer?

If you feel the need to actually learn something in the future take a look at genzhou here on the grad. Otherwise please don’t waste anyone elses time.

Why do you guys even go to bat for China so hard? They’re not even communist? They are state capitalists and more right wing and authoritarian than the US republican party (other than on green energy)?

Because they aren’t. You are being lied to. If you want to understand us I recommend reading “Socialism with Chinese Characteristics: A Guide for Foreigners” by Robert Boer.

Not yet. Consuming it is legal. Possession of it not. And I am not possessing shit.

But didn’t the game at one point was like “rAiDEn baD because these cops have a family” or am I misremembering? I haven’t played this game in at least 6 years.

I think the whole suicide net discourse isn’t as grim as people think it is. I mean people can be depressed due to a lot of reasons other than work. But since you spend a lot of time at work the suicide risk there is accordingly high. Depression can be silent for the people around you until it’s too late. Every person who doesn’t die because of the nets is someone who now has a chance of getting better instead of being dead. It’s not like the jumpers are dragged back into the factory and chained to their workplace afterwards so they can’t try to kill themselves afterwards again. Like the whole suicide nets so horrible argument makes only sense if you believe they are there so workers can’t even escape the horrible working conditions by killing themselves.

I think the answer is multy tiered. A big reason for the mentality of many Germans is Germanies recent history.

A lot of Germans still feel somewhat guilty about WW II and believe it’s their duty to prevent another Hitler. But since analysing the reasons for Hitler’s rise to power would require a critique of capitalism and it’s inherent relation to fascism it’s not taught that way in school (or anywhere). Instead it’s the usual “great man theory” nonsense.

Combine that with the systematic smear campaign that is going on since the dissolution of the GDR and you end with the current situation. Tons and tons of Germans believe that the GDR was a horrible rouge state where the Stasi disappeared you for thinking a single subversive thought, the UdSSR was worse than Nazi Germany and Stalin was best buds with Hitler.

Now we are in a situation were Germans believe that Putin is trying to rebuild the UdSSR and since communism is worse than fascism, it’s totally justifiable to arm Nazi’s to fight Russia. But Putin is also totally just like Hitler. This has gotten so ridiculous that a common name for Putin is Putler now (Liberals and contradicting themselves, name a more iconic duo).

Supporting the fight against Russia is seen as a way to show that we are good boys now and have learned from the horrors of fascism and supposed horrors of communism. At least that’s what somewhat well off liberals believe.

Those who actually feel the consequences of the war flock to the far right AFD party. Mainly because there is no good left wing alternative. The Linke is busy with infighting and the DKP is way too small and the average member is older than 50.

Maybe but then again Annalena Baerbock herself said that things won’t go back to being normal “even after Ukraine has won”.

So it might be self delusion at this point.

Basically since people here have been affected, at least economically, a lot of the popular support has waned.

Interesting. Here in Germany we can also feel the sanctions quite a lot. Electrical bills also went up and big concerns announced that they would leave Germany and outsource their production to somewhere else. So a lot of people are afraid they could end up jobless in a while. And yet support for Ukraine is not going down. I think it just makes people more bloodthirsty.
