I don’t think any hard stats have been gathered, but in Hexbear, Lemmygrad, and Lemmy.ml getting organized is one of the top recommendations.

Forgot about Stripe! That’s pretty spot-on! Just needs a cowboy hat and some voicelines. Would be a funny mod!

The used car market is volitile, regional, and often close to new in price. Stop blaming systemic issues on actions of individuals. I’m not saying that it’s impossible for one to make poor financial decisions, but instead that the very system is designed around maximizing profits squeezed from the working classes.

Existing within capitalism does not mean you cannot work to overthrow it and must ideologically support it by espousing liberal talking points.

The US is reliant on cars, but many people cannot afford buying them outright or low-interest loans. This is by design, not choice.

China isn’t a utopia, and does have problems. China’s problems are real, though, not invented, so discussion of China’s issues requires drawing a line between fact and fiction.

China is a socialist country, public ownership is the principle aspect of the economy and the working classes control the state. Child labor is illegal in China, you may be thinking of the US.

This is nonsense. Communism has not been achieved, but socialism absolutely has. Communism has not been achieved not for lack of trying, but because it is a post-socialist system. There’s no psyop.

No? I’m an ML and I live in a capitalist country. Further, liberals are absolutely worse than anarchists.

Communist parties are revolutionary parties, generally. I’m not just whining about the system.

I already organize with a communist party, I have no intention of simply complaining alone.

Neither can fix the systemic problems caused by capitalism though, democracy in capitalism is democracy for capitalists.

The US is fascist because it’s in crisis. Imperialism is decaying and austerity is being brought inward.

Yes, people advocate for getting organized all the time.

Great example. It’s still not great, of course, and rural areas tend to be more socially conservative, but the positive forward movement does exist and is gradually improving over time. It’s mostly the older generations that are more socially conservative, younger generations for example are more progressive socially too.

Who is “we” and what is the “bullshit?” Do you have an actual counter to the sources I listed, or are you going to continue to act like you didn’t just look up “uyghur repression” and grab the first headlines you could find?

Yes, you linked more than just the BBC. Your other sources were already answered by the sources I listed, so you either did not look or do not care that you were posting stuff I had already talked about.

Maybe someday you will be, but it isn’t today.

No, they don’t go against that. Trying to focus on a present snapshot rather than contextualize a process that exists as something constantly changing is metaphysics. Tomorrow, China’s queer rights will be a bit better than today, if we have the same conversation tomorrow but only view it as another snapshot then we will reach a point where you say “China good” and this will all have been forseeable had we analyzed it as something in motion, rather than static.

People on Lemmy do discuss action.
