Give me a single picture of a neighbourhood in Xinjiang that looks like a neighbourhood in Gaza. Xinjiang is a 1.5m sq km region, how come there is nothing out there of such a massive place.

There are hundreds of videos of foreign tourists in Xinjiang looking for any sign of a genocide and they can't find anything, is it possible that you have been lied by the same people that have lied time after time?

The liberal cause? You mean the genocide of indigenous people and the enslavement of black people?

The early USSR policies built strong socialists foundations, without a highly developed industry to produce material wealth there is no possibility of a socialist future, only of an abundance of povery.

This "destroyed any hope of a socialist democracy" comes from the mislead idealists that wanted the "war communism" implemented during the civil war to continue, which would've lead to a catastrophe of gargantuan proportions a couple of decades later with the invasion of Nazi Germany.

We had oligarch Peter Thiel express this publicly too in a recent speech, "competition is for losers, our goals are monopolies".

they're the newest scapegoat, the bourgeoisie always need a scapegoat to redirect the other classes grievances to them.

if you hate war and destruction so much why aren't you this staunchly anti-US?

counterpoint: everyone should read writings from every historical world leader, you will be in for a surprise. You'll find out that mainstream respected world leaders churchill and Teddy R almost echo hitler on their writings.

Several species of green lacewings commonly are found on trees and shrubs. The adult stage is a pale green insect with large, clear, highly-veined wings that are held over the body when at rest. They are delicate and very attractive insects that primarily feed on nectar. The females lay a distinctive stalked egg, approximately one half inch in height. They may be laid in small groups or singly on leaves of plants throughout the yard.

Lacewing larvae emerge from the egg in about a week. These larvae, sometimes called aphid lions, are voracious predators capable of feeding on small caterpillars and beetles as well as aphids and other insects. In general shape and size, lacewing larvae are superficially similar to lady beetle larvae. However, immature lacewings usually are light brown and have a large pair of viciously hooked jaws projecting from the front of the head. Whereas lady beetles often are limited to smaller insects such as aphids, the green lacewings are capable hunters that can easily kill insects larger than themselves. Several generations of lacewings occur during the summer, and a green-brown cold tolerant species can be found late into fall.

In agriculture, these insects are commonly used as biological pest control against aphid pests.

Bonus picture, this is how they lay their eggs:

Turns out Argentina and many more countries rely on Chinese companies even to produce bills 😅

Some governments have asked Beijing not to publicise the deal because they are worried such information could compromise national security or trigger “unnecessary debates at home”, the person said.

They even know it's shameful lmao.

I wonder how many more "invisible" industries China dominates, i always assumed that central banks had the monopoly on producing their own physical currencies but turns out i was wrong.

Some key takeaways:

  • NATO represents 55% of the global military spending, while only representing ~20% of the global population.
  • An increase in military budget comes with a decreases of budget in education, healthcare, etc which will inevitably lead to worsening of living conditions.
  • Saudi Arabia and Israel continue being the largest military spenders in the Middle East.
  • 37% of Ukraine total GDP goes to military spending.
