I think all it would take is a few of these CEOs to be hoisted high and quartered with towing winches on livestream for them to reconsider these data centers

The democratic structure doesn’t appear democratic

What do you mean by this?

there are countless of expats who tell horror stories.

Expats like Yeonmi Park?

Do you have any real reason to believe that other than the equivalent of a pinky-swear from the government?

Do you have any real reason to disbelieve it other than the equivalent of a lifetime of flashlight-under-chin spooky stories from the Epstein governments?

Oh I see, you see people supporting a country the anglosphere has told you is Bad Guys, so you’ve decided that we must be Bad Guys too. Very smart and not at all the heuristic of a trained dog, carry on

“Heh, you fool, you naive, obviously the devious asian commies are simply lying”

Monster emergy drimk

Wanna try that one again?

Here’s the city of Caen, France, after being “liberated” by the allies. Still think fighting nazis is cool??

Yeah dude, fighting makes places fucked up, what a stunning insight. I have no choice but to slap on an Azov patch and seig heil in the face of such moral wisdom.

russia on both life expectancy (which was already on par with a rapid global and regional improvement trend)

An insanely, blatantly wrong thing to say about a feudal serf-state

The USSR was objectively a good thing and you’re free to return to 90% illiteracy and a 40-something life expectancy if you feel otherwise

That is absolutely the opposite of the truth, as one look at a graph of any quality of life metric from these countries will tell you

“Surely THIS round of neoliberal shock therapy will propel us to greatness” I say as I remove the last of my tendons with a flensing knife. The shareholders weep with joy. I am so enviously streamlined.

My eyes roll out of my skull every time I see some “humanity is doomed, it’s our nature to kill ourselves, if only we weren’t so selfish and shortsighted” spiel, which always ignores the actual structural causes of the problems in favor of some weepy original sin diagnosis.
