  • Hello! I'm a Chinese-American college student around the same age.

    I understand your struggles in university, as I experienced many of the same feelings. Because I went to a college across the country, I felt rather isolated and got sick a bunch, which hit my grades and self-worth quite hard. I'm recovering now. If you would like to talk, feel free to DM me on Lemmygrad so we can talk on your preferred messenger.

  • I just watched a video that explained how Google, the CIA and the NSA work together to get all of our online data. What are ways to minimize that besides not using Google?

  • Move to China I guess, or learn Chinese so you can use Chinese services for everything. IDK what other good ways there are without becoming a recluse.

  • This is a hilarious theory. By this theory, if a Nazis f***s a woman, they'll become a lib.

    R/GenZ right now is just taken over by right-wing incels who are celebrating their supposed 'win'. Shame on any dumb libs who immediately blame Kamala's loss on the entire Gen Z generation or other minority instead of doing some introspection.

    Trump didn't even gain voters, Kamala just lost more. Therefore no group 'shifted right', Kamala's domestic and foreign policy was just completely vapid.

    At least Trump made vague promises to "bring jobs back". All Kamala did was try gaslighting voters into thinking the economy was booming. For example, when Democrats aligned economist Paul Krugman got yelled at about the economy, he had the audacity to go on Twitter later and say that all the complaints were just "Russian propaganda and Trump's lies".

  • Now I understand why Ben Norton left GZ...

  • Yeah, Grayzone is weirdly Nazbol. Ben Norton has a tweet thread about why he left the Grayzone due to Max Blumenthal's right-wing tendencies.

  • The House of the Spirits has characters that fit this description to a tee. The book was written by Isabel Allende, a cousin of Salvador Allende, and is a stylized retelling of life through the transition in Chilean politics post-colonialism through Salvador Allende to Pinochet.

    The book ends with the character and narrator Alba saying that, despite previously organizing for Allende's socialist party, and getting raped by the military coup forces after, she will not seek vengeance on those who have injured her, choosing to believe in the hope that one day the human cycle of hate and revenge will be broken.

    Yes, let me lie down and let myself get run over by capitalists because then maybe they won't also run over my children.

    Because of her simplistic writing on 'cycle of violence bad' while ignoring Marxist analysis, Isabel Allende seems to be a darling in liberal circles. Obama gave her a Presidential Medal of Freedom.

  • Why America (REALLY) Supports Israel

    Jump

  • Good stuff. This video raised a debate on r/TheDeprogram over GDF'S supposed 'antisemitism' based on his comment section.

    I don't really see anything particularly antisemitic with the video though. GDF's overall argument is that, while today the USA wholeheartedly backs Israel because the relationship is mutually beneficial, early in Israel's existence this was much murkier. Thus there was a need for the Zionist lobby to forcefully align US interests with those of Israel.

  • Comment under a YouTube video on falling fertility rates.

  • I don't know where y'all get the idea that I want humans to escape from Earth. That would be incredibly stupid.

    We need to go to space for resources to increase living standards at home and avoid further ecological destruction. For instance, the only good sources of helium-3 (an excellent fuel for fusion) is mining from the moon or gas collecting from gas giants. Nothing is alive in space, so there aren't downsides to mining there like there is on Earth. Socialism is also the only way to prevent space resources from only bulking Jeff Bezos' (or his childrens') pockets.

    I, for one, do not think socialism means forever stalling at 2030s-era tech.

  • Comment under a YouTube video on falling fertility rates.

    Jump

  • Eh, it's a matter of investment into the technologies required for bulk space transport. Infrastructure like space railguns (basically a really long Hyperloop section that points towards the sky to shoot payloads into space) are feasible today (and China is researching them already: https://newatlas.com/space/china-railgun-spacecraft-orbit/ ), and more out-there ideas like space elevators are a matter of time. In order to reach full communism without strip mining the entire Earth, getting resources from lifeless space is essential. That will require lots of people in space.

    The interesting thing to see at this time is if China can show another way to sustainable population management. Capitalist countries seem intent on shrinking their overworked populations into nothingness. South Korea's birth rates have only decreased further, even as their population keeps shrinking.

    Jump

  • It will be a challenge of the century to see if socialism can fix this crisis where capitalism clearly hasn't.

    I certainly hope that, as China improves living, working, and social conditions, that birth rates rise back up to replacement rates or higher. That would cement the superiority of socialism and prepare the world for the population required to expand into space across the solar system.

  • Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation™

    Jump

  • For a truly accurate estimation of deaths, you have to calculate 1,000+ years into the future for all the children that would have been born if the Communists didn't exist.

    Therefore communists have killed infinite people.

  • Nexus / STC (SciHub alternative)

    Jump

  • Yeah, it's the only way to get any papers post-2020 other than traveling to the nearest college library. You just paste the papers' doi in the search box.

    Its been invaluable for my own research papers.

  • Nexus / STC (SciHub alternative)

    Jump

  • This project is amazing and arguably even more ambitious then scihub. Their goal is to get their entire library onto IPFS (basically torrenting for webpages) so that the library is impossible to take down and so users can self-host the Nexus client.

    You can use tools like MusicBrainz Picard to add proper metadata to all your music, and use fully-customizable music players like MusicBee to perfect your listening experience.

  • US physicians like the for-profit insurance system because they are paid 2x or more than in single payer systems. For example, I know Canadian physicians who doubled their pay upon moving to the USA. It is a bribe by insurance companies for doctors to be apathetic towards capitalist suffering.

  • "Modern Parents Suc" Misses the Point Entirely On Why They Actually Suck

    Jump

  • Agree. As parents get richer, their methods always seem to be 'better' simply because they have more time and money to invest in their kids. People always talk about how parents should give their kids 'enriching childhoods', but completely ignore that enrichment costs shittons of money.

  • What's up between Ukraine and Russia?

    Jump

  • Agree.

    Keep in mind, the Kursk offensive's goal seemed to be to take control of the Kursk nuclear power plant to threaten a nuclear meltdown on Russian soil and/or to take control of nuclear weapons nearby. In other words, Ukraine tried to directly threaten nuclear war as a bargaining chip.

    If Ukraine and NATO wants nukes that badly, Russia should deliver them the experience, whether via nukes or conventional munitions. I honestly do not give a shit anymore what happens to the Ukronazis. If they want to get glassed that badly, Russia should give it to them.
