Probably fewer countries excusing the hard power they use?
Just because they occasionally kiss their victims doesn’t make what they do to them first any better. It never has. But if the world’s bully finally stops providing any good then maybe we can move on as a species.
The west has spent a half century outsourcing their industry to feel like they’ve done any environmental work (and to lower wages). That has affected all industries, in all western countries.
Ever use anything with a pcb? Congrats it was partially made in china. Any industrial electrical components? Any microelectronics for non computational work? Hell most steel fab is in china. Half the us’s packaged fruit travels through china for packaging.
Your owners and masters have spent a long time ruining domestic companies for the sake of profit. Don’t take that out on chinese people, take it out on your owners and masters.
As we saw in russia and ukraine, that doesn’t really matter to these people. They’ll slap an old stock gun on you and shove you out a van with their guns pointed at you, and just beat you if you complain or try to not be drafted.
Nearly every company in the world that has an international presence uses chinese parts somewhere. And no, you racist count, made in china is not a word for cheap shit, it’s a word for made in a factory. You can’t avoid chinese products at this stage of capitalism. Your made in japan microwave? It was assembled in japan. It was made in china hence why you can get the brand less version for half price on aliexpress.
Country labeling is a joke, wherever the final assembly takes place is where the label gets put on, specially because racists like you are too stupid to tell the difference and it sincerely hasn’t mattered since before most people were born.
No, you’re making things up entirely based on imaginary ideas. A studio for just a week’s worth of work a minimum wage? Even in the early 2000s that was practically a myth. No american I have ever known has paid less than half their wages for rent; including myself when I still lived in that shit hole.
Maybe the rich lived differently, and from your naive idealism it’s clear you did, but christ I would have loved to not pay nearly all my income for housing.
It really isn’t. Maybe 40 years ago. There’s a reason we’re in a cost of living crisis and the homelessness rate has soared in the last five years faster than any other point in us history. Its not a lack of jobs.
Hell working homeless is at its highest point in human history.
Listen, not all nazi soldiers were particularly bad. I’m sure a chef in the rear guard probably did not do a single war crime. But when the SS existed we know that the chef isn’t what most people refer to when discussing war crimes of the era.
Its the same in this era. Sure, there are bad guys all over the place, but compare to the US there’s really only a handful of entities in the post WWII era that could be equals, and none more evil.
Their profession obligated them to do something dangerous in exchange for money and financial security; this person does not receive that in exchange. Changing jobs is also not something you do lightly when you have kids, unless you’re already well off enough to retire or will be homeless anyway.
Her family disapproves of her choice, that alone explains the situation as this adult acting as a petulant child that ran away. Her family wanted her in their lives, she didn’t want them in her life. That is the situation being reported on in this and other articles.
There is no reasonable moral dilemma. For example, why the fuck didn’t she go off to Niger? Why not volunteer for myanmar’s resistance? Maybe be a un peace keeper in haiti? Shit you think ukraine is bad, why didn’t she volunteer for palestine and join any of the hundreds of resistance groups?
There are hundreds of wars and conflicts going on right now. Is she going to go full mercenary and volunteer to be superwoman and intervene in all of them? Or did she pick a relatively safe conflict that would give her the most attention with the least amount of danger that would net her an easy path to leaving her family forever?
No, you do. The lowest level of legal living is almost infinitely more expensive as a proportion of work hours now than ever before in history. If you’re in the us, a weekly rate motel is likely your cheapest option, and that’s still going to cost more than the federal minimum wage per month assuming full time work. In even industrial age cities a room at an inn cost about half a days wage for hard labor; and for the medieval ages land rent was basically a joke in comparison.
Modern public works have basically nothing in common with medieval commons, including use. Loitering being a crime is proof of that alone, but you also can’t just plop down a house or tent in a public park legally.
To your second point community gardens are almost never empty whenever they’re created.
Just to highlight, she left a two year old, a seven year old, and a ten year old in one of the highest cost of living countries in order to go play soldier in a country she has never been to and has no connections to that cannot possibly pay her more than canadian minimum wage.
There’s no justifiable reason, russia isn’t going to invade canada next, ukraine doesn’t pay their mercenaries particularly well, her kids aren’t grown and her family isn’t well off enough to not have either a homemaker or second income. Everyone involved’s life is worse for this, except her’s… She thinks she found a new family and is happy.
She has a fucking two year old. She not only had no obligation to help (unlike literally all of your examples) she had ample reason not to.
She ran away from her family like a coward to get out of dealing with them, to play soldier and be used as a bad PR piece.
If she’d prefer not to be in that situation, she had every ability not to be, instead she could’ve been a parent to her kids, instead of daddy’s first wife.
This is what constant propaganda does to unstable minds; I hope whatever ukraine pays out to it’s victims goes to this woman’s family after she pointlessly kills herself instead of doing literally anything to help her family.
You’re really over estimating agriculture as a technology tree. It takes pretty much no thought to notice that the trash pile tends to grow the things you put in the trash pile, and from there it’s experimentation on what in the trash pile of food makes more food (realistically medicinal herbs) grow.
Agriculture was developed at least a few thousand years before stationary settlement.
…no, it just wasn’t. That’s entirely a lie. Having a va office does not make a building a hospital. And yes, oppressors usually use the cries of children to justify their fascism after the fact.
Again I don’t support his ideology, you can see that from my comment history, but you people are the reason trump is installing fascism in the us nearly entirely unopposed.
