Same thing is happening to India before our eyes.
Thing is, the Western view that media is free inherently makes people more susceptible to propaganda. To be more precise, Western media has achieved a few things: (1) The illusion of media freedom makes people less likely to question the media they consume. (2) The profit-driven motive of media companies makes it more likely for facts to be “reinterpreted” to better fit the target reader’s worldview. (3) The extent that government agencies are involved in media has been completely hidden from the public.
I mean, it’s not like Chinese people are stupid. We know what’s wrong with society in mainland China, but we also see all the benefits that it’s brought. The fact that it isn’t talked about doesn’t mean that everyone’s bought into government propaganda, it just means that people are on average happy enough to not bother with it.
Flipping the firewall is easy. Going to Taiwan or Hong Kong is easy. Emigrating is easy.
Just because someone isn’t white doesn’t mean that they’re stupid ffs
That’s literally the role of the government, though.
US politics is basically neither side compromising on the basis of ideology and saying it’s the other side’s fault.
That’s a far more condemnable position when you’re the actual government than when you’re the opposition.
Think of all the profits you’re delivering to shareholders!
Isn’t it also an indication that the current government is unwilling to compromise? It’s not like the government not controlling the house is a new issue, but the lack of progress as a result of it seems to indicate that neither side is willing to make progress towards a shared middle ground.
Caps on Russian oil price, restoration of original Ukraine borders, prosecution of Russian “war criminals”
It’s what you’d expect from a country that’s completely winning the war and not stuck in a stalemate while losing support
Well, yeah. Obviously not wanted anymore, since they got him lol.
What if the state itself doesn’t follow those laws?
What evidence do you want to see about a state-sponsored assassination? It’s happened twice now and you think it’s an accident?

Just yesterday.
The laws of Western states that the West only selectively follows? Gee…
I’m happy to move over from programming.dev to lemmy.ml
Sweet of you to think that
Thanks for your contribution!
The US has shown that they’re willing to weaponize their position in the West to block development of technology by key rivals like Russia, China, and India. The dependence that these powers had on Western technology is a key motivator against war… But today? If the US can unilaterally restrict access anyway, what’s the motivation?
The globalization of the economy has been the single greatest contributor to world peace since the second world war.
Sanctions haven’t worked before, why would it work now?
America’s willingness to toss sanctions around willy-nilly is single-handedly destroying globalism and creating a multipolar world.
His Twitter page speaks for the US government (@POTUS). This reflects poorly on the US, if nothing else.
Sure, but it ends up being extreme even for Reddit. There’s no discourse, it’s just everyone nodding along and agreeing.
