Awesome, thanks so much! I’ll take a look at reading this soon!

Yes, I linked the UN allegations, as well as China’s response and Qiao Collective’s comprehensive resource list. The UN report was the allegations, the rest is the response to them.

Guess you’d hate the Black Panther Party, Nelson Mandela and the ANC, and Cuba too.

Russia is currently beating Ukraine + NATO support, I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here.

Dialectical materialism is a tool, not a religion. The text is a play on the “Serenity Prayer,” it doesn’t mean communism is a religion.

This seems more based on capitalist-realism than on practical analysis. The US Empire is on its way out, and with it will go Israel.

Israel isn’t going to last forever, the illusion of its indestructability has been destroyed and the resistance’s bravery and courage in resisting the entity are known around the world. Palestinians will not cease until Palestine is free, and Israel is going to crumble as more settlers flee and investments dry up.

Not at all wierd, China has been a strong supporter of Palestinian liberation for over half a century, and Muslims in China are quite happy. I’m assuming you’re referring to the western allegations of genocide in Xinjiang, though there’s pretty much no actual evidence for it. The best and most comprehensive resource I have seen so far is Qiao Collective’s Xinjiang: A Resource and Report Compilation. Qiao Collective is explicitly pro-PRC, but this is an extremely comprehensive write-up of the entire background of the events, the timeline of reports, and real and fake claims.

I also recommend reading the UN report and China’s response to it. These are the most relevant accusations and responses without delving into straight up fantasy like Adrian Zenz, professional propagandist for the Victims of Communism Foundation, does.

Tourists go to Xinjiang all the time. You can watch videos like this one on YouTube, though it obviously isn’t going to be a comprehensive view of course.

The 1950s, where the US Empire committed genocide against Koreans (on both sides of the parallel).

The DPRK doesn’t have a massive international propaganda network, though. Support for the DPRK outside the DPRK comes from analysis of the DPRK, not from propaganda.

Is the DPRK an empire?

Sure, and I acknowledged that I misspoke, but it’s hardly an important part of my point.

Don’t see what the problem is, then.

Sure, it’s a tested metric, I misspoke. That doesn’t change that IQ is bullshit.

If you mean the Statesian, pro-capitalist kind, it’s mostly a silly ideology pushed by small business owners and other highly individualist classes that are nonetheless pushed towards the working classes by competing against ever-growing monopolies.

The left wing version, I disagree with as you can’t dismantle the state without removing the basis of the state, class, and you can’t remove class without collectivizing production and distribution. Small, local cells loosely organized in a decentralist fashion would still result in class struggle and thus a form of state to hold one class over the others. That said, the leftists are valuable allies at times despite disagreements.

I happened to connect with an amazing person, and I love being married to them. I would have been fine had I been single, or dated casually for the rest of my life, but nevertheless the person I met has changed both me and my life completely.

IQ is generally bullshit. It tests how well people can take specific tests, it doesn’t correspond to actual intelligence, and people are far closer in that regard than they like to imagine.

The world doesn’t fear Russia, though, the world fears the west. It’s the west that fears Russia, and is harvesting Ukraine for resources and racking them up with debt for hand-me-down surplus to support the far-right Banderites in Kiev ethnic cleansing the Donbass region. The Ukrainian people increasingly want peace over war, not to fight to the last Ukrainian, it’s the Banderites that want to sacrifice Ukrainain people while they hide from the frontlines.

Yea, no. EA is bad, but isn’t nearly as bad as companies like Palantir.

IQ is pretty much a bullshit measure that largely correllates to education and economic standing than anything else. There isn’t some grand variance in intelligence, actually, what’s at play is competing class interests and socioeconomic factors determining diet and access to education.
