    Crazy thought: What if both platforms are bad?

      The fucking side picking on this, and the principles so called progressives and even leftist (being openly welcomed to the tankie side, I guess) are willing to throw out the window just to defend an openly oppressive and abusive state simply because it is “anti-American”, as if both aren’t pulling the same shit in slightly different variations, is doing my fucking head in.

      What will it take for people to realise all states exist to oppress and control the working class for the benefit of the ruling one, no matter who it theoretically opposes? (not a social media fad, that’s for fucking sure)

        Surely staying isolated from the Chinese populous will help us achieve internationalism.

          This is a good point. Even if it is spyware, all things being equal surely more interaction between Chinese and American people is a good thing right? We have more in common than not ultimately.

      Man on floating whale corpse: “Your boat stinks!”

      Man on burning garbage scow: “What?”

      If you cannot host it, you cannot own it. If you cannot own it, it’s not resistant to censorship.

        Well clearly Elon has demonstrated that ownership does not resist one’s own censorship either… Almost like we need something that nobody fully owns…

          Or that everybody owns. The means of information distribution and the means of production should be completely in the hands of the people.

            Yes, that’s exactly what I meant. If everybody “owns” it, then nobody fully “owns” it.
