China is socialist. Socialist countries can have market economies and even capitalist economies, as long as the dictatorship of the proletariat ultimately controls all of the economy. Just a reminder China’s killed multiple billionaires.

Shitting in a bucket in a van is less noble than you make it out to be.

We did in the 80s when you last were culture bombed about it. The textile industry is mostly in China now, and mostly automated, including cotton harvesting. Wool has some issues but animal cruelty tends not to register with you people, but poly blend clothing, which is by far the majority of clothing produced, has less human labor than most electronics manufacturing.

If it’s a shirt, there’s not really labor involved outside transportation.

It’s a game version of what you imagined the little Lego vehicles you pretended to create as a kid did in your imagination. It’s pretty fun, kinda grindy in campaign mode, but at least worth an afternoon if you like any other vehicle building pseudo engineering game.

And yes there is multiplayer, including multi-single player where other people’s vehicles invade your world. It’s balanced enough that you shouldn’t usually get curb stomped by them.

You do if you don’t browse all and instead curate your own feed.

Oh, right, ml instance. Anyway class war is the only war and you can be racist against white people.

It would be assuming we do reach post scarcity for all essential goods. There’s more than enough bored people right now that would throw away the rest of their lifespan for a few months in space to fill a intra galactic space exploration organization; give those bored people all the free education they can handle and you have a successful star fleet.

Given who the US allies with, you might want to take the opportunity and join the right side of history as a nation and isolate yourselves from the US.

Antinatalists aren’t suicidal, most likely living, they just understand that life isn’t a gift.

Must be nice to either accept the objectively worse sound quality of wireless headphones, or be wealthy enough to afford a product that sounds almost as good as the wired version does for ten times the price and just not care about it getting stolen.

While I agree the concept of work is bad and we should do everything possible to make sure no one ever works again, jobs programs aren’t crimes against humanity. Neither are housing investment programs or schools

Because Google is a monopoly and epic sued in the right places.

Each gun requires training to use optimally, each gun requires different parts to repair it, each gun has different reliability issues. The reason any military limits the type of firearms in use is to reduce logistics cost and complexity. If you have one main battle rifle in use that’s standardized across the military, you don’t need a million training programs, you need one, you don’t need ten billion supply chains for replacement parts, you need one, and you don’t have to keep track of what soldier is trained in what guns beyind their mos.

Militaries are just logistics companies that get to kill people. Simplifying logistics then allows them to kill more people.

They still do, if the rest of the original treaty is upheld.

Yeah the reason is primarily corruption. There’s a reason so many Americans specifically related to the state dept either quit their jobs and took up in Ukrainian companies, or directly started investing in Ukraine in the lead up to 2014 and the eventually coup that lead to zelensky being in power. Ukraine isn’t special. It holds no real significance for a US company or investment firm based on its laws or government. But cheap mineral rights and a complete lack of environmental regulation thanks to a captured government? That’s just easy money that also denies a self made US enemy that easy money. And all for the price of the Ukrainian population.

Yeah Stalin still had issues and it was awful that the working theory at the time was homosexuality was a result of western decadence since literally all the rich people they found were doing weird sex stuff and Germany and the US killed all the gay communists and socialists they could and burned their books so there was no real example they could find of any ‘deviance’ being innate.

That all being said towards the end the crack down wire off and five years labor is still better than what any other country at the time did to cure the gays.

If they’re smart, they will. If they’re not smart they will need to hope they can afford to give their security team better health insurance than they themselves offer, otherwise we will see repeats of the reason you’re personally allowed to be outside of your company owned work house.

Self defense is also applied when defending others. It’s nice to think someday we might be above violent reaction to violent action. But until there’s an alternative, we’re not, and we shouldn’t be.
