The point is that we can’t disprove a negative. It’s on you and everyone who agrees with you to provide evidence of the fabrication. Otherwise I can also just say “no they wouldnt” and that has the same evidentiary validity as your argument.

I find it funny how the Chinese use the same logical throughlines to come to different conclusions to liberals. Instead of saying that people shouldn’t be able to live comfortably in every job, because then people would just do the easy Jobs, the Chinese say that people should be able to live comfortably in all jobs so that people will do them. I also saw one person on 小红书 using the “feed a man a fish” quote, not to argue for taking welfare away, but for actually giving people jobs.

Maybe, but my main issue is that it doesn’t change anything. Let’s say we assume that we are in a simulation…what now? If you had 100% irrefutable proof of it, what would we do? And if you can’t convince others, what would change on an individual level? I still feel pain and love and sadness, so it’s kinda pointless, i feel anyway.

Honestly I just can’t buy it because of the price. Honestly I like the concepts but I think the civ swapping mechanics need to be critically thought about much better. Because I like the idea but every game that has tried always falters. Unsure if it’s poor execution or if the concept is doomed to fail.

Also I am begging the Devs to make Sun Yat-sen a leader at some point. Please, thats the closest acceptable thing to modern China we can get. Cmon you’ve got come Wu Zetian you can do Sun, pleeeeaaasssee Firaxis

It’s the article I’m replying too here. (Also the top comment has a link to a site the writer has made which tracks it over time)

The actual unemployment rate being nearly 24% makes me actually nauseous

Forwarning:still getting use to lemmy ui so sorry if I fail to address anything.

Like I prefaced at the start, I’m planning on learning mandarin (through accredited courses. Sorry, I should’ve specified that)

And I understand visiting first. Just…well, yknow, the language thing. But I’ll do that before moving. Thanks for recommending that bridge to the future program.

Thank you a lot for the comments on point C, a lot of people have just told me “you need a job for a work visa.” Which I get, however I have no experience getting a job outside of my home country so knowing there will be agencies and such is helpful.

On point H, I understand they don’t allow dual citizenship. On renouncing, are saying i shouldn’t do that immediately or I shouldn’t do it at all? I understand not doing it immediately if I don’t like it though, obviously. But assuming that, what changes between a permanent resident and a citizen?

On the last point, I suppose it’s a mix. If it was purely ideological, then I’d book a flight to occupied Korea a sprint across the DMZ tomorrow (/s). However, it also feels like one of the only places that isnt actively getting worse. Had I been born a few years earlier, maybe I’d move to Germany or Scandinavia, but those places also seem to be suffering from similar issues. Cuba would be closer language wise, but the blockade puts a damper on everything there. North korea is pretty isolated and I’d be worried about making a huge mistake by trusting them. Russia suffers from all of these issues and doesn’t provide a lot to be desired. Ergo china and Vietnam seem to be the best options considering all of the factors-assuming I am actually able to learn the language. I’m willing to put up with a lot when push comes to shove though.
