Yiazmat

can’t wait to see libs get mad about this, completely missing the irony

it genuinely makes me happy to know how mad liberals are that it didn’t work lol. like you can hear it in how they talk about it. they fucking hate that China is powerful now

was speaking to a family member who mentioned her coworker talking about “standing with Israel” which sent me into a full blown rant about how fucking evil Zionists are and how Palestinians are 100% justified in their attacks on Israel and I think my indignant rage kinda shook her a bit lol.

I feel like I’ve had this anger boiling just under the surface for so long and I finally opened a release valve and just went off about how Israel and the US are unequivocally evil. I ended up apologizing to her because once I cooled down I felt bad about blowing up on her but man it felt good to finally just release all that anger. I need a better way to channel it though

My friend’s girlfriend is Chinese and when I first met her we talked about China for a bit and she later told him that she wasn’t used to people talking positively about China. He told me she sometimes lies about her ethnicity to avoid people being racist. made me want to punch a wall

it’s so ridiculous how that’s even possible; baffling how anyone can think this country is a democracy

lol I haven’t worked there in years but I believe the actual degree I put down was psychology. I think they were just desperate to fill the position because at the time their IT dept was like 2 people

just said I had an unrelated degree because the position required a degree of any kind

my friend’s wife went to school to be a veterinarian and she’s still paying off her loan. She graduated ~15 years ago.

I dropped out of college back then and just lied on my resume to get an IT job lol

my friends’ group chat is talking about Iran’s attack and is repeating the “Israel stopped 99% of the missiles and drones, what an overwhelming victory for Israel” shit. I don’t have the energy or will to argue with them about it so I’m just ignoring the chat for a while

China’s support for its domestic industries has drawn complaints from competitors since it joined the World Trade Organization two decades ago. They argue that direct and indirect government support has kept costs down and exports cheap.

“stop being so good at producing stuff! it’s not fair!”

“While there is a debate about the effectiveness of sanctions, what we are now seeing is what would start to happen if the sanctions were removed,” said Byrne. “This is giving North Korea a very significant lift.”

oh no, anything but that

neil degrasse tyson-ass “um actualllyyyy” community note

lmao at this comment

Google doesn’t return anything for the “Langley Center for Democracy Studies”, the purported source of this map.

ya know the last few years I was thinking there’s no way Biden would lose to Trump because libs hate the cheeto man too much, but since October I’ve seen even the more hardcore dem libs I personally know turning on Biden over this shit and have changed my mind

I don’t think the subreddit is affiliated with that group

not really, I think it started as a more radical offshoot of the antiwork sub (or something similar) and has been drifting farther left since then

the r/workersstrikeback sub is currently being purged of liberals and it’s been very entertaining watching the mods post bait threads and then banning all the dipshits getting mad in the replies lol. salute to their mods 🫡

that’s cool. I voted for her in 2020

it’s so funny how many examples of these dueling headlines there are lol. it’s like a new meme format

It’s really telling that when faced with any information that runs counter to the classic China Bad narrative, libs immediately resort to “this person must have been paid to say this.” Their brains have been steeped in capitalism for so long they can’t imagine someone praising e.g. China’s poverty alleviation programs without some kind of financial incentive. And then, like clockwork, even this post has an “aUtHoRiTaRiAn ReGiMe” comment. These people would rather plug their ears and yell “LA LA LA CAN’T HEAR YOU” than approach China with an open mind. Shameful
