Man how the hell are we supposed to degoogle so fast. I literally only became aware that they sucked like 2 years after them being cool for most of my life. Getting rid of gmail is going to be tough. There literally isn’t a service the equal of YouTube or Gmail.

Free software is about building a society more strongly based on individual rights. At least Marxism-Leninism certainly isn’t about that

I suggest you read some Marxist literature. Marxism has become a bad word in the West because it undermines exploitation under capitalism. But everything Marx and Lenin espoused was based on improving the rights of individuals (you could make a convincing argument that the structure of the Soviet Union was incapable of accomplishing that goal, but that it got closer than anything American capitalism has been able to).

My personal rec is State and Revolution by Lenin. It’s short and easy to read.

What exactly has caused the outrage and need to identify the users age today? Why do we need this law now?

The way the US centric world works, you kinda have to, or you risk inviting the US trying to spread “freedom”

And the conflicts that do happen, happen at the behest the US and in the interest of US corporations. And the US has control over the narrative surrounding the conflict.

You don’t have to be so defensive. I’m not criticizing you personally.

China hasn’t tried to expand or colonize anyone in my lifetime. America has some so numerous times. Maybe stop being so defensive and look at history without your America colored glasses.

The point I’m trying to make is America likes war a lot. China hasn’t fought a war in 50 years. It’s hard to take Americans seriously when they accuse someone of being aggressive.

America has engaged in war the majority of the post world war 2 era. Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan twice, Iraq twice. And that’s not including all the proxy wars they’ve funded.

I’m blinded by the Trump administration because I don’t believe American propaganda about Chinese aggression?

I’m not an expert on Chinese military policy. I just know that all of us living in the West have been told by our media and our government that China is bad for us. I know we see the world through the lens of war.

When you live in the imperial core of one of the most militaristic nations in the history of the world, everything seems like a provocation.

Spoken like an American

“China, a country that hasn’t invaded another country in 50 years, is going to invade this country” said the country that invades a country once a decade.

They are putting profits over sanity and safety

First time?

Yeah they’re run flats.

As a bmw owner, it is complete horseshit that they don’t let you change your own tires. I had to pay $400 to change the tire after getting a flat.
