  • What is the context of the phrase "Heil Hitler" now? Context is everything and you can't just point at the history books and twist the meaning of what someone said.

    Languages change and morph over time. They always have.

  • Democracies under threat around the globe

    Jump

  • why is democracy the goal? democratic nations have pretty much universally profited from the plunder and destruction of poor nations.

    the british empire, the french empire, the german empire, the american empire. democracy is a tool of imperialism and colonialism. when those avenues for extracting wealth fail, what's left? increasing concentration of power and wealth to the rich, privatization of public goods, right-wing extremism, and societal stagnation through a return to conservative values.

  • The real boost is SOEs. Competition is good, it just needs a single large-scale player more concerned about the public good than private profits to push the industry in the right direction. There's a reason SWCC works so well while the Soviet system failed. Deng Xiaoping was a genius.

  • Democracies under threat around the globe

    Jump

  • why is democracy being seen as an end and not a means? isn't the goal supposed to be to raise the standard of living of people in developing or emerging economies, to reduce income inequality, to combat climate change, and/or to improve support and infrastructure for disadvantaged people and their communities?

    in a state with limited political goodwill, why isn't more effort spent on actually benefiting the people instead of maintaining institutions that evidently degrade the minute attention shifts away from them?

  • $12 billion dollars is the equivalent of the 1.3 million years of work in vietnam. that's the livelihoods of more than 34000 people, stolen to profit one person.

  • and yet coal power plant utilization is dropping like a rock

    turns out that when profit isn't the only driving factor behind infrastructure, you can afford to do what's best for the people (stable power supply by ramping coal production up/down to smooth supply from renewables) rather than what's best for profits (running new coal plants at full bore)

  • By Western standards, China's record on human rights with respect to Uyghurs is not clean. However, it's no more dirty than China's record on human rights with respect to Han.

    Turns out, Western standards look down on things like collectivism and the common good in favour of individual rights and privileges.

    Western criticism of the one child policy, for example, is the exact same thing as Western criticism of government-imposed family planning on Uyghurs: by Western standards, the government should only impose family planning policy through economic levels, never legally enforceable ones.

  • They're different stories about different statements from different countries. Estonia, Germany, and Poland all independently made statements, not as a single joint statement.

    If this is a policy going forward, it should be listed as a rule.
