history of the internet:

- you're a freak that isn't welcome anywhere offline, fuck off

- you find a community of other freaks and form actual meaningful connections that mean more to you than if you were allowed at any of those offline places

- what's that you see coming over the horizon?

- oh, it's companies

- you're a freak that isn't welcome anywhere online, fuck off

Geopol, China 

I suspect that what folks are upset about is Chinese style Capitalism.

Yes western capitalism is Bad(tm) but it ignores that we live in a Global economy. Our nation and climate is directly effected by a system of government that I'd like everyone to take a moment to read up on.

The CCP is that fash nightmare regime you're afraid of, and they've been openly trying to Fuck us.

Sure, right wing nutjobs here make our lives hell. Who do you think pays them to be that way?

@FreyaManibrandr I'm Specifically zeroed in on The Sons of Han.

I know that's messed up, to blame an Ethnic Group but I read the history of the sino-japanese war and did Not understand the Yamato Hate of the Han people.

Then I read the Han's own history and the secret histories of the mongols. And it made more sense.

I know this is extreme, I'm mostly angry that there's a Genocide going on RN and the People perpetrating the crime against humanity are Serial Offenders we let back into the international community to one-up the Soviets.

I wonder everyday how much of the world I interact with every day was made by Slave Labor in mainland China.

Additionally, when you buy Made in China, you buy Made With Coal.

They burn coal to power everything they do, and that increases the carbon footprint dramatically.
On top of that the efficiency of their processes relies on lots of cheap labor. As in, energy inefficient, manual processes.

If you were wondering why global carbon emissions haven't slowed down much, look at the chinese megatonnage.
