  • The US response (media/police/even some of the public) to anything in protest is the most authoritarian response I have ever seen every single time, but I guess that’s understandable when you’re busy fully supporting a genocide and about half a dozen regime changes attempts per year.

    “This is absolutely unacceptable and understandably scared travelers,” said US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy[1:2]. The airports quickly shut down affected systems and searched aircraft out of caution, though no security threats were found[1:3].

    Does the computer in your living room get hacked? Check for explosives your basement!
    And while we’re at it…

    The hack targeted cloud-based audio and display systems through a software provider[3]. “Nobody informed us what was going on, there was no crisis response. Everyone was just really confused,” one Kelowna passenger told CNN[1:4].

    bring in the guns!
    Let’s have an army of ICE goons walk in next time and have them shoot random passengers
    who may look like they could be part of the terrorist hackers!



  • US still has an abundance of coal. Together with the weak monarchic but oil rich Saudi Arabia, the oil rich, but coal poor Soviet Union collapsed. Now there are two alternatives, China’s weaker, but socialist coal industry and the much much much stronger solar photovoltaic industry completely dominated by China again.
    It’s both of these developments that are causing the situation to be normal instead of the weird events of 1989-1992 and 2008.

    Sorry, but I’m not a fan of jokes at the expense of the colorblind and self-doubters,
    where you have people keep guessing and second guessing what’s in the pile of dots.

    Especially when this is on Lemmy.

    If you are colorblind and even if you’re not.
    You’re being lied to here.
    There’s nothing in this meme.

    Topic Starter should come out and confirm.

    Hmmm… I do mind that they look the part so you can at least recognize them.
    Avatar the last airbender movie was the worst offender of this,
    because at least one cast member looked like another character from the show.

    So the 1st one I have no issue with.

    2nd needs a tan and spraying his hair to gray/white,
    5th needed more red hair like this:

    The 3rd and 4th ones look ridiculous though.

    I don’t know from which movies they are but
    If #3 has an iconic beard, then #3 needs a beard and some better clothes if that’s iconic as well.
    #4 is a no.

    An Exxon gas station!? Really?
    Was this picture made in 2005?

    You’re more likely to find a charging station with SGCC written on it if you’re lucky,
    because it’ll more likely be 国家电网 as latin letters will have lost all status.





  • Welcome to Lemmy where there’s a lot of communists who are not agreeing with the narrative of liberal, socdems or greens media of US/EU/UK.

    Russia is winning because China is communist and therefore winning.
    I don’t know what the average Lemmy tankie thinks of why the Soviet Union lost,
    but my reasoning is simply, lack of solid fossil fuels and too early in the game
    to rise through solar & wind power or even natural gas.
    China had bitumen coal and a better version of a people’s democracy since Deng imho.

    US has lots and lots of coal compared to any country in the world,
    so even with its half-baked liberal democracy
    it still was able to thrive above the rest until recently.
