  • Thanks for posting your thoughts, I don’t get many opportunities to hear tankie brainrot as it’s often purged from my feed before I even open the comments.

    #1 whatever did or did not happen at the specific location of Tiananmen Square doesn’t address that the Chinese government murdered student protestors. Doesn’t matter if it was two blocks over or on the other side of the country. The CCP will use lethal force against protestors.

    #2 a think tank has nothing to do with all the Uyghurs whose family members have disappeared without a trace. The CCP makes people disappear and they offer zero transparency into their judicial process.

    You’re quibbling over minor specifics and ignoring the undisputed parts that are most damning. Stop being a propagandist for a government that doesn’t even align with your proported beliefs just because ”america bad".




  • I haven’t seen any news articles about it, I don’t really care what they say. What I have seen, constantly, is people on this platform understating the fuck out it by saying “he was just stuttering and is old” which is really annoying.

    Also I think he was sick, I’d be feeling sick too if my handlers had drugged me like a maul and made me stand under studio lights for an hour.

    Your last point is unironically true though. He had information, it was mostly correct, and when it was incorrect it was mostly just the numbers that were wrong by a small amount.


  • Even so, academics is such a niche and marginal problem compared to, like, anything else capitalism fucks up.

    Scientists are still doing good things all the time under capitalism. Environmental sciences criticize problems that capitalists are loath to address all the time, but also apparently capitalism funded their research for a century.

    This post is just more populist tanky agitprop to make dumb people angry and distrust institutions and science whenever it tells them something they don’t like.




  • When I was an edgy emo teenager and all my edgy emo teenage friends and I were getting tongue piercings my older brother looked at me and said “is that for your boyfriend?”

    That wasn’t the reason that I ended up getting rid of that piercing (tongue piercings are annoying as fuck) but it definitely didn’t help my desire to keep it.





  • This idea checks out for me, I might move the order around with how relevant they are to my interests but the top 5 videos are:

    • Video essay about games I’ve never played
    • YouTube poop (doobus goobus)
    • Expert commentary (legaleagle)
    • Cat video
    • Coding video

    Tbh I think this might encapsulate my entire personality.
