While I've been considering buying a brand new PC and mobile phone (for absolutely no reason whatsoever; totally a coinkidink that I considered it at this point in time), I decided to also look up what China's own operating system was (because obviously they would have their own operating system; why would they make absolutely everything else and NOT make their own operating system?) and I was like 'ooooh, that looks cool! This Kylin OS!' only to watch a video expounding on it and revealing it's a Linux based operating system.

Hexbear Linux users are to China what Israel is to America CMV

I just want a normal operating system where I double click an app to activate or install it, and it has full functionality no ifs and or buts with my OS, and I can rightclick and get all the necessary functionalities of rightclicking.

sudo install better OS

Stupid dressed up DOS like operating system; yeah cause I really want to type up lines of instructions to do what windows can do with a double click; cause I want to spend two hours googling how to install non-Linux compatible software on Linux, and then spend two hours finding out why the solution didn't work making me feel like Indiana Jones excavating cursed ruins for a treasure you could've gotten at Walmart.

Obviously America's done some insane stuff in the past that would be a lesson to countries around the world (for example attacking Iraq after getting them to cease production of WMDs, reinforcing the lesson to countries like the DPRK to never disarm), but with stopping the SWIFT system in Russia and with Israel now detonating beepers in Lebanon, frankly it's showing every non-Western country that it's time to cut all relations with the West and shift immediately to Russia and China.

Why would you ever risk the safety of your own country now with buying tech from a Western country or one of its vassals (like SK or Japan)? There's zero guarantee America and NATO won't come after your country at some point in the future (and I'm now remembering 'hang on, wasn't Iraq under Saddam and Libya under Gaddafi literally allies of ours?'). I googled motorola (and apparently by the way motorola works closely with Israel) and it says it's a subsidiary of a Chinese company, Lenovo? How is the father company Lenovo (and consequently the Chinese government which I imagine wouldn't want one of their companies being used for terrorism) currently reacting to this news?

Utter psychopathy; I don't know what the state of alternative tech and banking was in the 90's but today countries HAVE alternatives, they have fantastic alternatives, they don't have to rely on Western tech.

I partially want to see how Western news is going to talk about this terror attack by Israel which in just moments wounded almost 3,000 people, but I know all these mouthpieces put zero value in the lives of Arabs and just like they have for the last 10 months either just spin it or let Israel say it and just repeat it.

I genuinely hope China harshly rebukes this attack and shuts down their factories back home; and you know what? All those loser liberals and reactionaries losing their jobs may just jog their brains into realizing the DNC and the GOP are no future for the country.

When Gazans talk to the outside world (or at least America), obviously they reveal info on what's happening in Gaza; Well, Palantir (American company if you don't recall it) shares info on the calls received from Gaza with unit 8200 who obviously don't want info leaking to the outside world who then target those civilians:

So that strike on unit 8200? A cause for celebration because a bunch of civilian murderers are painting the floor.

Here's the father's full speech: https://abcnews.go.com/US/video/father-aiden-clark-speaks-springfield-commission-meeting-113593145

Compare the impression you get from the cut clip vs the full video; they have to make even normal people sound insane for their propaganda. I'm beginning to realize that perhaps a large portion of the far right really are just misguided people who, because they're stuck in their echo chambers, have no idea of what's going on in the real world and instead see this bizarre fantasy of it instead.

*Former Japanese president of Peru (no idea how that happened; I must be high or something cause that doesn't sound right)

This stuff is awesome; a while back I was looking up Chinese dishes I could try (as I especially love steamed Chinese chicken buns) and discovered this (dessert?) and just loved it. I tried it both steamed and fried and my own personal preference is fried. This stuff is awesome, definitely can't have just one. I had six with lunch and I just can't stop thinking about getting more and I gotta stop myself, cause no way all that fried food can be good for you, but damn I can't stop thinking about it.

EDIT: Actually now I think I remember what pointed me towards this dish: I was reading up about some Chinese historical figures (legends?) and read something about one of their figures eating this and I was like 'hmmm, curious.....'

This was among the information Edward Snowden also had that he shared with this guy (aaaaand a further reminder of why I despise liberals; cause instead of hating Kamala, Biden and Obama, they despise Edward Snowden).

I don't even know what to say; I don't even know if I should advise Palestinians not to talk to their relatives in Gaza or if perhaps there's some amount of selectivity going on in who the IOF murders from those Gazans, although it does seem as though they're trying to stop information from leaving Gaza as genocidally as they can.

I recall a (post? bad empanada video? article?) that frankly called it out correctly that America is Israel's (willing) accomplice in the genocide and not a shot at putting an end to the killings.

I hope you'll also note the black person they're racistly depicting also has a star of David necklace which I'm assuming means they're trying to make it clear they're being racist towards fellow Jewish people who happen to be black.

I genuinely feel like America bombing the hell out of so many countries in Africa just naturally would endear those countries to anyone except America and their Western vassals, but apparently a lot of twitter users can't seem to comprehend that.

Is whatever debt these countries incur worse than the IMF? Are the consequences anywhere near as bad?

I usually like to start from the position that the leaders of these countries know what they're doing (something Western twitter users don't), so I personally doubt it's anywhere near as bad as people claim, and no matter how bad it is, I don't believe for a moment it could be as bad as the IMF.

Modern day Nazis

I've realized that we keep hearing a never ending stream of diatribes from people like Biden, Kamala and Trump about foreign leaders and countries and I've been wondering why non-Western countries don't do the same.

There's certainly a never ending list of reasons to do so; I can't help but wonder if perhaps had African countries been lambasting America about their violent policies and actions that Libya wouldn't have happened in a 'silence'. Israel, for example, striking Iran's consulate in Syria wasn't something they could do and then people let them forget that they started it; this is why you have people asking (American and British) government spokespeople about Iran's right to self defense and retaliation.

American journalists travel around the world to go and harass foreign leaders about every little choice they make; are journalists from Africa, the Middle East, Asia and South America trying to get interviews with Western leaders to ask them the same ridiculous questions our journalists ask but getting no response or refused?

I really feel like with a constant microscopic lens on every single awful choice we make, it just gets harder and harder to get away with it. If I HAD to compare it to something, I'd say it feels similar to when an abusive person tries manipulating or threatening an ex or a partner of his in public; it benefits the abuser that his victim is silent and doesn't make a scene. I do also understand that our government intentionally creates rifts between nations so that they're less likely to stand united and to have one anothers' backs. Certainly I'm nearly vocally cheering every time I see African leaders respond to the idiot journalists or politicians we keep sending their way; I'm following an African twitter account and get posts from time to time of the idiot journalists asking either stupid questions or hypocritical ones; for example now with that knowledge of those interviews that occurred, I can wonder (rhetorically) why don't journalists go over and ask African leaders now about their decision not to arrest Putin as per the ICC ruling (the idea being that Western leaders don't want to arrest Netanyahu).

But as I said, I can also understand how countries just want to exist in peace and don't want the headache; it's probably just me being youtube 'debate me brah' brained and wanting to see the global South own the idiot news channels.
