Neither of these conflicts are indiscriminate killings. Israel is deliberately targeting civilians and children. Russia is targeting military targets. It’s not through pure chance that Israel has killed over a hundred times as many children.

They tried to pass a similar law earlier this year on Taiwan and it was a whole circus

Idea of free market is that it’s better than a manage market. If there’s room for innovation, the free market will find it. Central planning leads to being risk adverse and exploiting inefficiencies to soak up government money. So if free market is your religion, you shouldn’t be bothered that China tries to plan their production instead. Cheap labour also doesn’t hold since the USA has historically been happy to have their companies contract labour from cheaper countries. So if you’re losing due to Chinese salaries, just hire Chinese people.

Also, China doesn’t subsidise any of these exports. Then they’d lose money, and they’re exporting to earn money. They subsidise R&D and domestic sales of things that’ll make domestic companies more productive and competitive.

Oh yeah I did mean cut/paste, my bad.

That’s actually not true. When you cut/paste a file on your computer (for most computers), it’s much faster than copying the file. Deleting the file is also not instant, so copy and delete should be the slowest of the three operations.

When you cut and paste a file, you’re just renaming the file or updating the file database. It’s different how that works depending on your file system, but it typically never involves rewriting much of the data of the file.

Edit: Fixed typo.

Have you considered divorce?

You don’t need to support Putin to be a Marxist, him and Russia are deserving of a lot of criticism, but it’s maybe a little suspicious if someone sees everything happening geopolitically right now and consistently chooses to focus their anger towards Russia.

To be honest when I read Supavillain’s quotes my first reaction was also 'So they don’t like Russia, who cares?", Ukrainian national identify exists, if Russia annexed western Ukraine they wouldn’t be able to erase it. Non-principled populist politicians do always suck. And Russia would’ve loved (I assume this is about) Donetsk PR to have been their puppet.

But then those last two quotes are pretty bad. Killing Putin or even having Putin do a 180 wouldn’t change anything. He’d just be replaced. And the poor countries are no less civilised.

It’s because China needs help using Emacs. Lemmy needs to rebrand to a Vim learning resource.

Good.

This is like mobster tactics or something, terrorist tactics is indiscriminate bombing, collective punishment, scorched earth, torture, targeting civilians, targeting humanitarian efforts, disproportionate responses. Everything they’ve been doing until now.

Should urge the UN to support a single state solution and Palestine’s full membership instead.

This is the People’s Republic of China. Their disputed territorial claims amount to a few villages claimed by India and a few small islands claimed by Japan and Vietnam. All three countries have much bigger territorial disputes with other countries. You’re thinking of The Republic of China, who claims whole countries and very large swaths of land. The Republic of China doesn’t have a seat in the UN because they don’t have majority support. (1.4% vs 98.6% for PRC).

If Hamas started attacking Yemen or Lebanon or Syria we’d all join you in being cross with them, but so far they seem to be attacking Israel.

You know what ‘racial slurs’ they care about. “White”, maybe “privileged”, maybe “spoiled”, “entitled”, “Northerner”, “Imperial core”.
