  • I would actually prefer this. There are studies that claim that crime and suicide rates go down when cities turn off the lights at night.

    Are they good studies that go into the probable reasons and mechanisms?

    Is it, Less Lights => Less people outside at night => Less crimes?

    Lesser workplace crimes against women, if women aren't allowed to work?

    And the logic used by the church as it goes against some supposed natural order attributed to some imaginary being is criticised here.

    Curious about the aspect on suicide tho

    What are things that you think would be useful for others if they also knew it too?

  • wiki

    From the wiki:

    Comparisons between the cartoon character and Xi Jinping date back to 2013, when the Chinese leader visited Barack Obama in the United States. An image of the two leaders walking was immediately compared to that of the bear and his friend Tigger.

    A meme with Chinese president as Yellow Winnie + American president(of Kenyan/African descent) as Brown Tigger does have racist connotations, right?

    Wouldn't ignoring that be similar to those who say that 'The woke left is trying to censor Musk because he raised his hand in joy' and that that it is against freedom of expression and authoritarian?

    And arguing?

    This whole post is Chinese propaganda and they’re astroturfing it.

    And would your comment and similar comments be termed as anti-Chinese propaganda and astroturfing?

  • But the commentors above said that the Chinese govt is censoring Winnie the Pooh. This image has Pooh and also another character from the same series.

    So the commentor is wrong and there is no active censorship?
    Or they're partly correct where only some Pooh gets actively censored?

    Conflicting info now


  • The Tiger character is called Tigger

    Totally not racist?
    Btw, what does Tigger rhyme with, my fellow Ningen?

    Censorship of memes is not fun as a person who likes memes, but considering how they lifted millions of their people out of poverty very quickly, a ban on a racist meme is ok.

    Banning racist memes is not a big issue.

  • Tanks stopping when a person blocked their path? And remaining calm even when the person climbs over the tank? Finally the tank driver talking with person calmly?

    Their army or atleast the tank driver seems to be very decent.

  • As an Indian, I think they seem more well-planned and more decent than recent USAmerica.
    India and China does have border issues, but I do respect them as I agree with their leftist view of reducing poverty and improving literacy. I think our countries could come to decent compromise there.
    Also, the communism aspects.

    But saying that a single country is the future is too simple.

    And even the Chinese seem to be not emulating America to be an empire.
    I think their aim is a multi-polar world. Atleast if the random yt vids I saw are proper representations.

  • I'm not USAmerican, but from my knowledge, I think here are two reasons

    1. Geographic location
      When EurAsia saw great destruction in the WW's they were far away and safe. So they could benefit from arms sales and similar stuff. Also got some experts and researchers fleeing from EurAsia, who helped in their development.
    2. Decline of traditional colonialism opening opportunities for them
      Coups and takeover of places which where colonialism and other empires were in retreat.
      The power from the 1st point helped here.

    Other stuff like the exploitation and murder of natives and slavery helped them set the base for these two points

    How are your New Year Resolutions(or general good habits) going?

  • You didn't raise any better point, right?
    So what is there to cope and seethe?

    Yes, downvotes are not really a big deal, especially in lemmy.
    You don't need to seethe at the downvotes.
