wouldn’t it be cheaper to just get falun gong & uyghur organs from china and drag them along the ground tho

Western liberals want Western propaganda only.

We’re not against Russian sources, but we tend not to use them so often, because they’re seldom well-received by Western liberals, whom we tolerate up to a point. They tend to be more accepting of Western leftist sources, and of course Western corporate sources are their gold standard.

Hahaha North Koreans are NPCs amirite? 🍆✊

leave it to ML users to debate subjective experience.

Then support your “subjective experience” with Lemmy comment links of actual examples.

Don’t you think you’re being needlessly incendiary?

You libelled our community, which was incendiary.

So many people on ML specifically were convinced that Trump was going to solve the crisis.

That’s ridiculous—no they weren’t. Links or it didn’t happen.

it’s almost like the issues with the United States government run deeper than the President.

They do run deeper, and that is fundamental to Marxist historical materialism.

“Great man” history

Marx rejected the enlightenment view that ideas alone were the driving force in society or that the underlying cause of change was guided by the actions of leaders in government or religion. The “great man” and occasionally “great woman” view of historical change was popularized by the 19th-century Scottish philosopher Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881) who wrote “the history of the world is nothing but the biography of great men”. According to Marx, this conception of history amounted to nothing more than a collection of “high-sounding dramas of princes and states”.

Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush Jr, Obama, and Biden would also have done it if the opportunity presented itself. The US has wanted to do this since 1978, when its Iranian puppet regime was overthrown.

Probably because

1. The US mistakenly believed that China’s “reform and opening up” would lead to another neocolonial plundering, like with the former USSR.
2. Outsourcing to China was making US capitalists so much money that they didn’t want a war that would cut that off.
