- [ ] I trust everything the US tells me about their primary enemies.
- [ ] I hate everything the US stands for.
You can only select one box, not both.
Which anarchist society wasn’t authoritarian? Name specific examples.
Liberals staunchly support unlimited freedom for the capitalist class, including their rule over everything. Its liberalism’s defining feature.
Reviews in OpenStreetMap, so that google maps can have a real competitor.
Its not FOSS, but I use to use foursquare for years because of how good it was at finding good restaurants / things to do in a new city. Now that its shut down, there’s no real alternative that comes close.
12·26 days agoBrowsers are bigger than operating systems now. One of the points of gemini is to use a very restricted language and abilities, so that developers can create their own gemini browsers easily.
As it stands now, google exerts enormous control on the web because of how complicated it is to make a browser. Currently mozilla is google’s only competitor in browser engines.
While gemini is a great project, I personally think a better route would be to create a local or server service that converts and saves existing webpages to markdown, and local apps acting as markdown browsers utilizing it.
With that people could write simple browsers, as well as reduce spying and have static content viewable on all form factors.
Everything that’s not static content (like the fediverse) already can have dedicated apps.

Biden’s legacy will be that he was the butcher of Gaza. Who forced his administration to do this?
Interesting. Who forced the Biden administration to do this?
How about trusting most majority muslim countries themselves, which reject the genocide claim?
Highly disagree with this.
Even if you ignore the PRC’s primary materialist / world-historic acheivement over the last few decades (lifting more people out of poverty than any country in history), then you still have futuristic / sci-fi things like:
ELECTRICITY MIX (PERCENTAGE) ============================================================ 2010: [████████████████████████] 61% Coal | 39% Clean 2025: [████████████████] 32% Coal | 68% Clean 2030: [████████████] ~25% Coal (target) | 75% Clean (target) ============================================================- Rapid development of fusion power.
- Space missions like a planned moon landing possibly as soon as the 2030s, and planned mars landings for 2040s.
These are star trek / bucky fuller level ideas.
cool Japan: “How wholesome!”
cool China: “This site is run by PRC operatives.”
Check those sources. Adrian Zenz, HRW, Pentagon press, ASPCI, and various other US government employees / US and UK state media. Wikipedia is not neutral, its run by US government agents like Katherine Maher, and acts as a spokesman for pro-US / imperialist talking points, and their admins silence anyone who goes against that narrative.
The US failed to overthrow socialism in the PRC, whereas their other color revolutions (especially in eastern europe) succeeded.
- The CIA, Gene sharp, and it’s pacifist color revolution regime change tactics.
- Notes for the 30th anniversary of the Tiannment incident.
- It wasn’t a massacre of peaceful students, but a skirmish between PLA soldiers and armed detachments from the pro-capitalist / free market reform movement. The protest movement, as evidenced by their own accounts, called for market liberalisation, and free market reforms, rallying around a replica of the statue of liberty. After the movement had been building in the square for seven weeks, unarmed soldiers were sent in to disperse the protesters, after which many soldiers were beaten to death, torched, and lynched. The New York Times death count went from 2600, to many thousands, to 8000, to tens of thousands. In reality only around ~200 (including soldiers) were killed or trampled, in smaller clashes outside the square. The on-scene New York Times reporter disavowed the article, especially about machine-gunning of protesters. A wikileaks cable from a US ambassador to the US state department, confirmed that no killings or machine-gunnings took place in the square.
- Latin American diplomat eyewitness account of June 3-4 events on Tiananmen Square wikileaks (PDF)
- There was a Spanish television crew that covered the entire Tiananmen Square incident as it unfolded. Their footage showed that there was no massacre. A few things worthy of pointing out - Liu Xiaobo and Hou Dejian, both student leaders of the Tiananmen protests, have been recorded as saying that they never saw anyone killed at the protests.
- The protest movement followed the line of “color revolutions”, in which the US tried to destabilize and create counter-revolutions in eastern Europe and Latin America after the fall of the USSR. The strategy was to stir division within and without, by inundating the media with news of massacres of “peaceful”, pro-capitalist / market reformers.

Show me the metro lines connecting walkable neighborhoods. Or high-speed trains between well-developed city centers
China has more high speed rail than every other country combined: https://youtu.be/zkMnxJF22O8
For an even better analysis than you could ever get in a university class, I highly recommend reading Domenico Losurdo - Liberalism, a counter-history for a more detailed history of what liberalism is. Even from its very foundations and founding authors, it was white supremacist, pro-slavery, anti-worker, pro-colonialism, pro-workhouse and prison, etc.
Operation condor, operation gladio? Never heard of em.
