Spectrism

It definitely is a legitimate movement. And why would their official channels contain an AI video of Yanis, when he is the founder of DiEM25 and could just as well speak in person, as he has done countless times before?

Some were born in a capitalist country that is shit, in fact even more shit than the GDR. What’s your point?

I think the money would be better spent on Servo, which is already based in the EU. While it’s still in it’s early days, it seems to be making some good progress lately and it might just be me, but I think Servo has a lot more potential. At least using Rust and not relying on GTK already sounds like a dream to me.

Harsh language in response to baseless assumptions towards sex workers and their supporters is morally okay for me, it might not be for you. See how that works? Morals are absolutely subjective. :)

Its obviously wrong, morally, spiritually, emotionally, as a human being.

Says who? Morals and the emotional reaction to this job are subjective, “as a human being” makes no sense at all, and fuck all the way off with your spirituality bullshit.

People are doing it anyway of course. Because a lot of people are broken in this world.

I would assume that they mainly do it because, like most people on earth, they live in capitalist hell and need money to survive. And just like most other professions, they sell their bodies, so what? Sometimes not even that, OF models or cam girls often just sell pictures or videos of their bodies, what makes that job any different than that of models or actors?

If you think its fine, you are missing something inside.

What would that be?

You are just not capable of understanding why its wrong. Because that part is missing.

Well, I know that the prudishness part in me is missing, and I’m glad it is.

You’re not capable of understanding why it’s not wrong at all. Take your own advice, find that missing part inside of you, whatever the fuck that is.

The Xinjiang Police Files are said to be leaked documents from the Xinjiang internment camps, forwarded to anthropologist Adrian Zenz from an anonymous source.

Adrian Nikolaus Zenz (born 1974) is a German anthropologist known for his studies of the Xinjiang internment camps and persecution of Uyghurs in China. He is a director and senior fellow in China studies at the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, an anti-communist think tank established by the US government and based in Washington, DC.

Yeah… not suspicious at all.

“The one who downvoted” didn’t downvote you because they think that Russia is in the right. I did it because you brought up brought up Russia when that wasn’t the topic at all, so no need to show me how horrible Russia acts, I already know.

The devastation in Gaza and Ukraine shows what that future looks like.

This doesn’t even look like they’re supporting Russia in the slightest.

I don’t completely agree with their position either, but if the “arms addiction” is the right move is a valid discussion to have. I’m convinced that Europe as a whole needs quite some investment for defense, but do we need to rely on US-made weapons so much for that, considering that most of theirs are also responsible for what’s happening in Gaza? Wouldn’t most of that money be better spent on research to develop our own alternatives to those systems? And do we really need to invest hundreds of billions of euros for that? How much of that money actually goes towards defense instead of offense? There are a lot of questions like these that we can talk about without distracting with “Russia bad” (which, again, I agree with), and I think this article brought up some good points to think about.

You’re right, they’re not. The US is much worse in this regard (in fact, in many other regards as well), which is exactly what annoys me in this debate. And if you meant that “the US are allies, China is not”, then I’m sorry to tell you, but I don’t give a flying fuck about the concept of allies. I’m tired of everybody thinking only in allies vs. enemies / us vs. them. Having the US as an ally is not some unchangeable natural law or an excuse for them doing the same, or in this case even worse shit. I’m not even asking the UK to be neutral, just be consistent in your world view and act accordingly.

Was there much criticism before it was built? Doesn’t seem like it. I doubt that you would absolutely need an embassy, at least such a big and advanced one, for military purposes, not to mention the fact that depending on the US is and always was stupid to begin with. So why shouldn’t China be allowed the same? “Well, because they’re not our allies.” Okay sure, that brings us back to square one. Either be against both, or neither. Anything else is hypocritical.

That I can agree with. The question remains though: Why isn’t there as much outrage over the US embassy? The criticism of anything related to China (while of course sometimes justified) often seems totally disproportionate, considering what the US or other states are doing. China isn’t even close to being as known for their spying as the US/Five Eyes are with ECHELON and whatnot.

So if they’re allies, it’s fine to spy? You’re kinda proving the point I made earlier.

And why so desperate that you have to use your other accounts to manipulate the votes in this thread? :)

Espionage is only acceptable when the Five Eyes do it. /s

Being American isn’t unwelcome here. Using barbaric date formats is.

Not completely, but the Brussels effect still applies to some degree.
