China, Vietnam, Laos, Cuba, DPRK

Hawaii should be free anyway. Send all the USians home and give the people of Hawaii their nation back.

And its not even accurate. This person you replied to is taking a very narrow view of social programs to mean direct government handouts. All communist nations are still in development stages and most of their social spending goes towards building vital infrastructure, and helping communities become self sufficient and independent. In the Nordic countries a poor village may be given a cash handout to buy food for example, but in China a poor village will be provided with skills and resources to support themselves indefinitely. This is how China raises people out of poverty permanently while European social programs simply put a bandaid on the problem.

I just had to explain this to someone the other day lol. Figure ur gonna get lots of hate from libs about this post so wanted to just come in and say hi. 你是很好老师同志。Your posts in response are nicely done. I hope people take the time to read them.

i think a good example is text size. My eyesight isnt horrible but it isnt great either so some small text can be hard to read for me. But in gnome in accessibility there is just a toggle for “large text” so i can either make all text fucking massive, or have it be normal. Other than that the most i can do is try to change specific font settings and fiddle with it constantly for each application lol. This could be fixed by just having a slider instead of a toggle in gnomes text accessibility options and letting you choose between a few different sizes.

Sadly the liscense plates mean they can ID you without you stopping so they will just come to your house later.

Israel is a disgusting fascist apartheid state so i understand the desire there, but its also basically Americas achilles heel. Its been known to steal American secrets and sell them to its enemies to make a buck and im guessing thats why China doesnt cut ties. Theyre using Israel to undermine the US most likely.

The issue is we dont know why they are doing what they do. We can speculate like i just did but who knows. All we can really do is hope they have a good reason for keeping ties with the Israelis for now, and that it’ll pay off.

Its not like China is unaware that Israel is evil. And many of their fellow BRICS members are going hard against it. So they must have some reason for doing what they do. We just dont know what it is.

lol true

Would you make the same arguments about the USSR and the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact? I’m sure there were many at the time who decried Stalin for not marching on Berlin immediately. But had he done so the imperial powers would have united against him, and the USSR would have fallen. The USSR did what it had to do to beat the Nazis. Even if its actions don’t pass an ideological purity test that is the reality.

The same goes for China now. Any overtly agressive move it makes risks allying the imperialist countries, which are currently starting to squabble amongst themselves, against it. China is being catious yes, but would you too not be catious if you had humanities future on your shoulders?

Also what part of the global socialist project is being harmed? The DPRK only exists because of China. Laos and Vietnam are being helped a ton, and are benefitting greatly from their relationship with China. Cuba is being given aid in getting solar panels, and food production setup despite massive challenges getting any goods into Cuba.

Those are the only socialist nations today. Do we expect China to start exporting its revolution abroad by force? What exactly is it you want China to do?

Also I’ll just be real with you. You don’t know what China should do. You have opinions on it sure, but the information you have access to is nothing compared to what the people leading China have access to. Lets not try to pretend like any of us could do a better job than what the CPC is doing.

You are experiencing the Dunning-Kruger effect. China is led by professional, intelligent, and capable communists who put all of us on this site to shame. I garuntee they have a better grasp of what needs to be done than any of us do to achieve victory.

You should go read some of the statements put out by the CPC some time. They are very informative. China is not sitting idly just because they arent launching dongfengs at the empire. We must trust our Chinese comrades because frankly they are our only hope, and we in the west have failed where they have succeeded time and again. We should not be telling them what to do but looking to them for guidance instead.

I understand you mean well, but seriously just realize how much you are not aware of. The CPC has an entire intelligence apparatus. They know more than we do. They have more expertise. Its time we in the west realized these things, and started acting like what we are. Failures who China is going to have to come save.

We wont really be in the war period imo until its a hot war between China and the US. The smaller wars we see now are build ups to it. The same thing happened before WW2 you saw smaller conflicts that got more common or grew larger until it was a whole world war. Im still waiting for the US to invade mexico to be the germany invades poland moment.

It would be a strategic mistake. We are in the interwar period now. China must minimize the harm it recieves during this period and conserve its power and alliances for the coming world war. Allowing the empire to fight various other resistance forces worldwide and use up its ammunition reserves and political capital with other nations is necessary to be able to defeat it in a direct conflict without taking heavy losses.

While it would be nice if China could save the entire world the #1 goal must be protecting the Chinese Socialist Project. Because when the dust settles the world will need to be rebuilt, and we will need China whole to do it.

I have all government alerts blocked on my phone so i forget those are a thing for most people lol.

if the US gives them a nuke ya

So i want this to be the US backing off cuz of their losses but i fear this is them cleaning their hands of it so they can just have the Saudis go ham in their place using the stuff they give them.

Is it using Wayland or x11? Try switching to X11 if on wayland. Theres a scaling issue on wayland in certain versions where it thinks your screen is a MUCH higher resolution than it actually is. Its meant to help with high dpi displays by using digital pixels but on lower dpi displays it can mess up stuff especially in certain software like games.

Tuxedo OS as far as i know is an optional distro they give preinstalled. You can buy them with no OS and install one yourself via usb it takes like 15 mins. This is true of any laptop with an unlocked bootloader (something like a mac can be done but its harder.)

Is this offer open to citizens cuz like… id consider it.

Considering its an island and he probably doesn’t care about anything except them not being able to escape it will probably work well for his needs. It’s not like they’ll be imprisoning actual criminals It’ll be a concentration camp and all those need are a few guard towers and the water to keep people in. They’d just shoot anyone who tried to swim.

Most of them already did. My own laptop is a latitude 7400 i got after a business replaced it for cheap. They update their lineups regularly anyway usually. So most will be windows 11 ready. I think this laptop would be able to run windows 11 too altho idk cuz i use debian and have never tried it.
