Good point.

That’s Keikō (long vowel), which is different from Keiko. This guy also almost definitely didn’t exist, but that’s beside the point.

Not the best time to say this, but… uh… Keiko is a girl’s name.

Accidentally halal^2.

For what it’s worth, I laughed.

Nothing about this is stealing, though. That’s, assuming they’re even related, inspiration.

What would your wonderful communism do with this?

UBI? Reduced working hours? Better social services? Public works? There’s no such thing as not enough work; only not enough work that benefits the ruling class.

And also, you know, consumers create jobs by their very existence so the whole idea is economically nonsensical.

First off, there’s no need to be that combative. Second,

Here’s a hint, look at the first 3 letters of the word “oxidation.”

There’s plenty of oxygen dissolved in water.

But then again there’s only a few countries that do and none of them are superpowers.

Really? Which ones?

Not quite, but they’ll probably be a factor (obligatory here’s hoping we’re wrong on both counts). Israel’s conduct in general (this is in no way restricted to a particular faction or part of the Israeli political spectrum) is making antisemitism more mainstream, but the West is due for a fascist takeover and it’s not like fascists need much reason to go after Jews.

Scholars of fascism whose job literally is to study it: Am I a joke to you?

Didn’t this guy want to make English the official language of America?

I mean even pragmatically there’s literally no reason to do this. Not having to do that is the whole reason neocolonialism is a thing, and that’s a game the US are already masters at. Really it’s just the dementia again.

I mean I think most people would agree that a meme template is necessary for something to be a meme. Microblog “memes” that are just a funny post on Twitter or Mastodon are fundamentally a different thing.

Uh… modern young earth creationism is pretty much an American thing, and modern flat earth beliefs only became a thing in the mid-19th century. I know Lemmy likes to dunk on Christians, but this is historically illiterate.

I mean yeah, but they’d usually not pay even a small fine (or pay for legal proceedings), so it’s a lot more efficient to use conveniently placed loopholes.

Then they might get in trouble for false advertising.

Um… hell no? There’s no way more than 3-4/14 are true unless you’re working with some kind of alternate universe China. Nothing about China is traditionalist, anti-modernist or anti-intellectualist, for one; they’re probably the most technocratic nation on Earth.

Fascism is more complicated than that, and while China is nationalistic it’s not running on the kind of ultranationalism that, say, Nazi Germany had. Modern China doesn’t meet any credible definition of fascism.
