I wonder how many millennials’ parenting career she saved

You argue for the martyrs to receive these prizes ?

I agree on this choice. Hilariously enough, it would’ve been controversial !

somehow, I feel like this counts as concise

But after reading, Seems like your answer argues that open source federated alternatives are better than corporate social media. While I personally agree, the main subject of this thread is why the phenomena: “privately owned social media that seems to embrace us at first turns against us eventually”, actually more like “stops working eventually”. the subject is why this is inevitable, this paragraph is the main subject:

No matter how great a commercial platform might be, sooner or later it’s going to either disappear or change in a way that doesn’t suit you because companies must constantly chase profit in order to survive. This is a bad situation to be in as a user since you have little control over the evolution of a platform.

You mentioned Marxist theory. From what I understand, Marx or some other commie argued that the good capitalist who plays with the rules is left behind in the race (“If I don’t lobby someone else lobbies”) and the winners use all kinds of ways to create monopoly and destroy the ones slacking. Thus Capitalism leads to monopoly and kills competition and fairness inevitably.
I kinda get the impression that corporate social media turning against its’ users is inevitable in the same fashion for some similar argument. That’s what Lemmy seems to think like.

But, I don’t see it happening when I’m using Telegram, or when observing Valve’s behavior.

Now that’s what I was asking for

hmm, honestly I’m not aware of her beginning, but I assume people were overlooking the “kid” part when judging her ?

Obligatory “AI bad”. You should post what you spent effort writing, instead of letting a large language model subtly change its meaning.

I edited the AI’s edit though ~~.

Not all capitalism is profit first.

First time I read this here, wanna elaborate? Like who’s theory of capitalism is different? (some author or state or party)

the problem is that she is a white, blonde girl with a cool active (I mean lively) personality, it should have nothing to do with looks.

If I may ask: Does my country Algeria count as AES then ?

I don’t think so, I like USSR as a response to imperialism, current China is quite cool in many ways, but I don’t automatically support whatever governments agrees on just cuz they’re better than their competition.
Also Karl Marx was kinda genius, but not sure how he uses violence in his theory, of course a political theory must contain a corner for violence, but it is hard for me to trace what exactly was Marx’s exact plan.

I can see the difference between these and EU, but isn’t EU mostly socialist? Like France for example, isn’t it considered so? Assuming socialist ≠ Marxist.

I am finally taking a look at the Qiao Collective’s (so long ~~ ) megathread. I wouldn’t say that it answers all my fears, but most of them are cleared for the present, thank you. I’d choose this as the accepted answer if this was stackexchange.

A big part of the subjects in our long subthread is speculation. I speculated that the procedures seem ignorant and unnecessarily oppressive, while you speculate the opposite. I admitted that I can’t deny your claim that I’m pretty unaware of the different colors of culture in Xinjiang, but I still view my assumptions as justified.
As a side note: Even if China actually dealt well with the problem, which the results do seem to suggest, the practice of censoring should be met with suspicion and doubt.

You may consult: Qur’an 2:219, 4:43, 5:90–91, in my view you are treating Islam as “culture” instead of “religious science”. If you think it normal for Muslims to drink Alcohol, you need at least some kind of school of juri (“fiqh”) to support this. I said that I’m from Algeria, and it is the norm that whoever you meet never drunk wine (well, now this country is getting ruined with drugs though). I don’t see how “Muslims never drink alcohol ==> Islamophobic”, like when I accuse someone that they abstain from harming their mind, is it a bad thing to say about them ?
Yes I am being selective, since you seem to punish speculations I tried to answer only things that I’m confident of.

I need to point a reason why I might be getting aggressive here myself: you have the habit of throwing insults when you “correct” the other party like a punishment, I see why you would pick that habit for debates, but not for conversations. And I admit that my responses were harsher though.

leaders partaking doesn’t mean it stops being a sin, it is a common occurrence in Islamic history that leaders lean to forbidden earthly pleasures —> the state gets unjust and weak --> falls. And you can find a scholar’s opinion that makes anything acceptable by now, I wouldn’t take that “many” is an accurate use of the word here. The idea of “Islam ==> wine is forbidden” is not Islamophobia, harassment is bad of course. Of course not that I’m saying “drinks wine to intoxication ==> out of Islam”, it is a matter of jurisprudence, not theology.
TL;DR: Common Khomeini W.

I guess it can’t be helped with the tone of your answers. I can’t deny your evidence, but it is really weird that they serve wine “traditionally !?”.

the fact that you think Taliban and Salafism are related is being uninformed. Taliban follows the Hanafi jurisprudence and the Maturidi school of theology, both are from the first three centuries of Islam, while salafis are kind of recent reformists who think nobody understood monotheism in the last millennia (the perfect example of western fabrication).
Also Taliban expelled both USSR and USA, both were colonialists to the people of Afghanistan. While ISIS only ever fought against Muslims (their first enemy was The Free Syrian Army which was actually close to ending the conflict in Syria years ago). Aren’t you now putting labels on people cuz they look similar ?

I have already explained that Uyghurs have traditional coed dancing traditions as well as segregated. You can easily verify this if you would like

and I ask for source, doing simple search for “Uyghur weddings” brings me to this project: https://www.youtube.com/@uyghurmeshrepproject8697/videos , and I don’t see an example of coed dancing. In my view you see people dancing together and you think “yeah they’re treating them well, building some integration for the individual”, but I see only shame, humiliation and erasure of culture in that, almost like a scene from the manga that I mentioned. And now that I think about it, if China wasn’t so idiotically secretive and closed, my search would have been easier.

Are you immune to propaganda? What is the right and honest way to handle this?

I don’t know.

I’ve tried to go there, it is called “Xiaohongshu” right ? I tried to write something on search, but required to sign up with a Chinese phone number it seems ?
