  • The three sources you posted are all the same. They all come from the ICIJ report - whose contents was originally shared by Adrien Zenz. You know, the Christian Findamentalist who said Hitler was an effective crime fighter? It’s laughable with all of these anti China hit pieces. You never need to go more than one or two sources back before youre hitting radio free Asia or adrien zenz. What you assumed were three sources was actually the same regurgitated slop that’s been juggled between sources for the past 5 years.

    GT: You visited China’s Xinjiang region in 2019, 2023 and again this August. Looking back, how would you compare your impressions from these trips? What changes stood out to you most in terms of development and social stability?

    Al Nuaimi: In all three visits I met officials, community representatives, religious leaders, and visited mosques and families, especially during the first trip. I see progress, I see real development. The government has a plan for reducing poverty, and I witnessed the results on the ground, not just what officials told me.

    It’s important to appreciate this achievement, to acknowledge it and to show the world that while many countries face challenges, in China, especially in this region, there has been remarkable progress. People outside China cannot imagine the lifestyle here or the services provided to the people of Xinjiang.

  • Assuming everyone lives in a city where the weather is mild, the distances to things are short, there is reliable public transportation, and has significant infrastructure in place for walking/biking

    Could you elaborate about what you mean here? It appears to me as if the people participating in fuck cars are more bemoaning the lack of these things. The people frequenting that comm will be the first to complain that the vast majority of Americans have abysmal choices for non-automobile transportation.

    Also assuming that everyone using a car instead of biking/walking is just being lazy, without spending a second to consider the elderly or infirm

    This, I just simply dont see in that comm. I feel like the people in fuck cars comm would be the first ones to argue that the elderly and infirm are oftentimes the first ones to suffer due to lack of good public transportation options. Casting the fuck cars community as ableist and ignorant to the struggles of the disabled seems unfair - given how the mass transit community are some of the primary champions of low floor trams, paratransit, accessible stations with elevators, designated priority seating, etc…

    Turns out, skepticism towards the motivation for promoting poor strategy is a real thing that leftists arrive to without being “liberals”.

    You understand that the leftist position is similarly that liberals have poor strategy and are naive, right? The difference is that leftists dont think there is a vast conspiracy to astro turf liberal ideas onto an internet forum. As it turns out, people are complicated and arrive to various political ideologies for a whole myriad of different reasons - regardless of whether not it seems rational to you.

    It’s still bizarre how the liberals on this site refuse to believe that a particular brand of marxism leninism could be arrived at organically - as millions upon millions of people already have across the globe for the past 100 years.

    Why is it that liberals scream “INORGANIC” every time leftists start a discussion that is anywhere to the left of the US State Department’s official stance?

    Turns out, principled leftism is a real thing that people arrive to without the help of “Ruzzian bots” or “ccp shills”.


  • Haha yep, the CPU is honestly not a good fit at all… The only reason I used it is because I already had it. I decided to build this server mostly from parts scavenged off my old gaming PC. I rationalize the choice since the server sits in a basement that I struggle to keep warm. You’ve got me thinking though… It might be worth it to get into the BIOS and make sure I’m on ECO mode, at least.
