Jesus that’s the slogan?? That sounds extremely fascist.

Is it possible to do the well paid job for a while and grind it out to save some money then switch to the lower paid one after a few years?

I don’t know if you’re just being cheeky but this is not a useful approach at all.

I preordered this physical book on release and was really excited to read it but I could never finish it unfortunately. Got bored somewhere in the middle.

Funnily enough this is actually comforting

Started reading Fanon’s ‘Wretched of the Earth’. So far just reading the preface by Jean Paul Sartre which is already very good, I imagine this was ground breaking and very exciting when it was released, during the time of great optimism in the “third world”, the Bandung conference etc. For fiction I’m reading The Three Body Problem by Liu Cixin. I really struggle with fiction generally. I usually find it very hard to pursue fiction for some reason.

Give us your report when you do. I’d be happy to hear an alternative perspective from a comrade

Love how their endgame is literally just making libs cry. There is no end they won’t go to for that goal.

Wechat is good for vegging out. I find it’s far more international than Western social media. I routinely see shorts from all over the world, Central Asia, Europe, Africa, East Asia .

Yeah, what I originally thought was quite a petty decision, after seeing the film I’m glad they block this brainrot garbage. Even if the reason quoted is kinda dumb.

Small daily steps is a good idea but I don’t think learning character by character is a good way to go about it. If it’s fun for you then that’s fine but just know you won’t make much progress understanding the meaning.

This sounds like a rather inefficient way of learning the language.

Would the friendly downvoters like to share their views on what they disagree with?

I have no problem believing that real people behave like this. I wish the reactionaries didn’t invent and abuse the ‘NPC’ meme because it’s literally so applicable to this exact scenario.

Also escalating to war over Taiwan? Redeployment of troops in Philippines, making new nuclear alliances (AUKUS, attempts to expand NATO to East Asia.) So yes, a lot of counts of bloodthirsty warmongering. Regardless of your politics, these actions are undeniably escalatory. Just saw your username. Unsurprising.

This is one of the posts in the last couple of days that prompted me to post this thread.

It’s not a petty matter at all, It’s not possible to formally recognise both countries. RoC has territorial claim over the entire Chinese mainland. The one China policy is the bedrock for every country’s diplomatic ties with China. Americans really are a people obsessed with war.

Do you support the US ceasing diplomatic relations with PRC in favour of ROC and going back to the time before Nixon made rapprochement?

I thought this was a portrait of Adolf Hitler with a pride flag background at first glance 😂

So empowering! normalise bringing your kids to work! /s
