WizardOfLoneliness [they/them, comrade/them]

I thought the ghost cities thing was about building places that no one lived, not about the quality being low. It has been awhile.

No you’re right, the poor construction thing is a different anti china meme, the ghost city thing was propaganda like, they’re wasting concrete and labor to do useless work just to juice their gdp. Like this is a game of vic3 and gdp means something real

But then it turns out years later people moved into them and the infrastructure is being used, like, westerners just took the ground work for a plan having no results and ran propaganda on that.

But then it turns out, ironically also like a game of vic3, building infrastructure for future growth is a good thing to do, who knew

There’s separate anti China memes about construction quality, bad concrete or whatever, idk

Most capitalist economies turn this into a benefit, but communist administrators would understand that it’s merely a drain on resources and labour, and be less likely to accept this preventable waste

the fuck are you on

Idk i don’t care who is saying it im saying it has the same vibes as the ghost city propaganda where oh it can’t be possible that china is actually creating that much value, they must be lying about it for nefarious reasons!

I mean it’s the same “perfidious asiatics just making shit up” rhetoric though

a lemm.ee user with a name like “bot” is just so on the nose, you couldn’t be more creative

Same rhetoric as the “china is building ghost cities to inflate their gdp” then it turns out 10 years later millions live in them

21 percent were against critical infrastructure targets (such as pipelines,

Reminder the u.s. blew up the nordstream pipeline

It’s cool remembering stuff like that, that the u.s. military is the world’s largest carbon emitter, and then reading some hate mongering rage bait about how china is driving recent global warming (burying the lede that its due to restricting smog causing a reduction in apparent cooling due to aerosols, not china doing more pollution)

Russia officially spends 40% of its budget for military, that ~10% of its GDP (for comparison: the GDP rate in the western Europe is around 2%

Now do america lol

Quick reminder that the situation in ukraine didn’t start with the Russian invasion, liberal

I like how china has anti terrorist re education camps and you libs go omg genocide. Then ten years later go omg cultural genocide when it’s obvious there isn’t a fucking genocide going on. But ah hm the Uighers still speak their own language and practice their own religion. How many mosques has china torn down?

but Ukrainian nazis run a literal derussification campaign while breaking peace agreements, bombing the Donbas, denying pensions and government services to their own citizens who lived there

And they literally call it a derussification campaign btw. What do you think that means?

But the same liberals who are like “china should be nuked for culturally genociding te uighers” are all Slava Ukraini for the fascists in charge there. The war started when the evil Vladoldomort Putler invaded the Ukraine for No Reason whatsoever other than being Evil.

Give me a ffucking break

P.s. liberals, this post isn’t an endorsement of Russia, it’s to remind you that the conflict there isn’t good versus evil, it’s evil versus evil, stop supporting evil you fuckin morons. Brinksmanship over this shit is going to kill us all, and you clapping seals will cheer as the missiles launch

It is antisemitic to denounce Israels right to exist.

It’s not “antisemitic” to say a country that only exists because Zionists in the British government convinced others to partition the ottoman empire and specifically create that country “as a national home for the Jewish people” (weird, sounds ethno statey, but don’t worry, they totally promised not to infringe on the rights of the natives) has no right to exist

Like you are an absolute fucking pig shit for brain moron if you think it’s “antisemitic”

Iirc it’s literally even against the fucking Jewish religion for them to return to Israel before their whatever messianic figure appears. Israel itself is antisemitic! (To say nothing of the fact that Palestinians are a semitic people, but i guess Israeli fascists pushing them into the sea is fine)

hey how does it feel being fascist and apparently unaware

“How could the holocaust happen” it’s lanyard wearing nerds like you going um akshually, this is legal

Um akshually sir the fuhrer made it legal so get in the pit. this is good.

China’s economic growth, visualized

------>

tell me again how the people actively aiding the genocide would be any better, you fucking nerd, lol

polls showing the democrats lost literally millions, multiple millions, of votes solely due to their tireless support for the right for Israel to kill Palestinians

They could have, idk, stopped

They could have just lied about it, like they always do, and they didn’t even do that

And yet somehow in your dumb fucking dipshit mind, Trump also supporting genocide means these people would have been better? Better than… someone doing the exact same fucking thing they were, and would be, doing anyway? What the actual fuck is wrong with you.
