I feel like some reddit brain would say “oh we’ll just enforce this digitally once everyone drives a self driving car”

given how many times computers fuck up and just randomly turn off or some shit, I still think humans (some of them at least) are more dependable

lemmy poster can’t do a google search

many such cases

I know it gets used like shit but do you think there’s any utility in the term ‘whataboutism’ if the definition is strict?

Nope. Because the argument always goes like this:

1. non-neutral party brings up problem about non-western place
2. someone says “well this is actually a bigger problem in the west” after which they get le downvoted
3. the rationale is “well we’re not talking about the west right now so that’s whataboutism”

The actual problem starts at step 1, and it’s started by westoids and their news media outlets who constantly a) attack free non-white countries (and Russia) b) stay silent about the (usually much worse) stuff the west is currently doing

For example, how many westoids have ever said anything about the EU overfishing Indian Ocean waters? Instead it’s always China overfishing X, or making Y animal extinct, even though westoids consume 4x more resources per capita and 90% of the rhino and elephant populations were killed by whites since the 1800s. Fuck mayos and fuck anyone who even reasons within their moronic bullshit paradigm

Oh wow, it’s almost as if the tiny parcel of land that China controls (less than 10% what the capitalists have) is not sufficient in resources to change the world on its own, so they have to partially adapt to the already existing system in order to have a chance against the west, while still keeping in place socialist policies like eliminating homelessness, small individual plots of farmland, limits on buying real estate on credit, etc

“OMG this POC must hate themselves because they speak english!” <---- This is you

whites can’t understand what resources are, because doing so would take away the special snowflake status they’ve given themselves in their mind

I think the delineation between authoritarian regimes and non-authoritarian governments is pretty clear

Why are you unable to explain it then?

loving the absolute ratios these state dept shills are getting

I used to think that Marx was overrated because I never needed to read him but holy shit it’s clear that 95% of the populace cannot form coherent ideologies without being taught them

breaks out calipers

“regulating capitalism” is like shooting yourself in the head, but you “regulate” it by putting a pillow in front because hopefully the pillow will generate safety for your head

Communism has far and away provided the best and most benefits to the people the problem is when Communism is allowed to run with corrupt leaders
