Can’t seem to find the modded spotify that gives you paid features

Pretty much just want 320kbps streaming, ad free, and playback syncing between all my devices

It wasn't all tax revenue but taxes were definitely necessary for the US economy to not collapse while funding the war machine

It's really not that hard to boycott China, people just don't do it because they're selfish and would rather support an authoritarian regime than stand for what's right

I haven't eaten any cooked hot food since the HK protests because every appliance is made or parts majority made in China

I will eat sliced bread and beans the rest of my life to own the Chinese

They print money for the government budget but that massively inflates the money supply so to counterbalance that inflation, they destroy all the money that was paid in taxes by their citizens

Taxpayer money funding government budget is fairly accurate

It’s a commonly known “fact” that I don’t believe because it’s so bizarre like the parent comment about not believing the official 911 story

In the same vein, when I was a kid, all the death camp nightmare stuff about DPRK and the Uyghur genocide stories when it first came out

lmao is this literally a lemmy instance for British feds? this has to be some reverse psychology from the Ml5

Queer Nazis really coming up in this world now

I’m HODL’ing atm

You hit the target exactly on the spot, I hope you’re already diversified in crypto in preparation

Convert your fiat to crypto and prepare to transfer wealth across borders with Monero

When China falls they’ll take us all down with them together

I’ve already converted all my fiat currency to various crypto including a modest sizing of Monero so I can anonymously transfer my money when China takes over our financial systems

I implore everybody else to do the same. The writing has been on the wall for decades

Everything you said is facts, glad to see you’re learning from us thanks to the federation

The arguments presented are so terrible and devoid of any meaninful substance

The first one was “China lol”

Then the one I replied to in support of “China lol” said “autocratic state” which is absolutely false unless all of your knowledge about China’s governance system comes from reading CNN headlines and skimming Reuters articles written by a dude with a bachelor’s in journalism that doesn’t speak Chinese

They also said “well known to” which implies it’s a special case when every state exerts overwhelming control and censorship over the media that occurs within their country

Whataboutism, checkmate tankie

And which governments don’t engage in censorship when it fits their desires lol

Why are you automatically blaming China for that? How do you know that decision wasn’t made by the film directors/company? Unfortunately, propaganda runs deep and people easily believe whatever they want to believe

“Authorities in Dubai and in Singapore’s media regulatory board, the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), threatened Disney and Lucasfilm to either cut a brief lesbian kiss from the end of Star Wars IX: The Rise of Skywalker or else lose their film’s PG-13 rating … While Chinese censors allowed the kiss to stay, an R rating in Singapore would’ve made the film inaccessible to its younger fans, hurting its financial success abroad.”

It was the first Google search result

Disney and Lucasfilm are the ones to blame for chasing profit
