Most of the time the platforms are already in capitalist hands so it's really easy to just ask them to self moderate to ban and evict the left. The they just boost the "center" and voila!

So... 4 out of 5 Wisconsin Democrats are genocide supporters.

Always practice 3-2-1 if you really want to be safe. 3 copies, 2 different mediums, 1 off-site.

funny how I literally just got promoted a video by Economics Explain, a YouTube liberal economist, which main thesis is that China economy is now fucked cause they only grow by 5% instead of double digits like last year and China will literally implode anytime now.

living in one of the the worst spot of this housing crisis and I feel the pain in my bone. I can work a tech job, that is paid more than 90% of the us population, for all my life and wouldn't even be able to afford a house the landlord's granddad bought when he started working at the factory.

From what I remembered from my highschool. You are not to taught ML fundamentals untill you are in university. However, you are taught some socialist world views and some historical materialism in both civic and history classes. Most kids wouldn't pay attention to it since they have to focus on STEMS subjects for the university exam though 😞

In university you have to take classes in ML which will have affect on your grade so people do pay more attention to it. But unless you are major in it, most people would just forget about it after their classes to spend time doing what university students do. It's pretty much the equivalent to mandatory civic classes in the West.

At the end of the day, while the education system in Vietnam have a more nuance view on socialism and have actual communist content (instead of the usual anti communism trash in US textbook). Majority of the time, people are simply too occupied with other things to learn it in depth.

I'm also a Southern Vietnamese here to answer your questions. Party members are still required to study Marxism-Leninism. You are actually tested in how well you know ML ideologies before your application to the party is approved. But deal to history, most of the core members of the politburo is from the North and the Northerner are typically more hard line ML while many Southern party members flirt with socdems and liberal ideology.

When he mentioned liberalism I think he mean the ideology and not the culture war in the West. Most people living in those socialist countries still have to struggle mostly with consequences of colonialism and capitalist imperialism and is less embroiled in identity politics like in the West. Vietnam and Cuba is still better than most of the US regarding LGBTQ issues and gender equality though.

that's is the main character from the movie "all quiet on the Western front" which adapt the book with the same name. The movie and book are about WW1 and have anti war themes. The author of the picture is probably just trying to equate the US army to Germany at the end of WW1 where they have no more men left.

the appeal aka hype of all the current AI is to they are able to ripped the fruit of free labor by scraping user generated data. Having to curate the data means they will have to spend resources on real employees which will cut into their profit so of course the capitalist gonna cry fault.

that's pretty much the script of a bunch of colonist collaborators. They internalized the racism to the point of self hated and will rather go down lamenting that they are not born the "right" race.

While the game is pretty fun and the banality is the point, I feel like it doesn't have a lot of things to say about communism itself. You can swap it out for any failing country and it would just work the same.
