This take isn’t too bad tbh
What an incredibly hilarious and ironic reason for a self-proclaimed communist to like China. “How can people not love China for its exploitative sweatshops? While this local union member, who just wants a livable wage from the products they make, is a crook”.
it’s a bit funny that “communist” china is winning at capitalism.
not to get into exploitation or communist theory, just saying that at face value is funny
It’s truly wonderful isn’t it? Can I make your comment the title?
A few times, I posted some innocuous comments on tankie instances and communities to express my - more than reasonable, I think - opinion that if capitalism is utterly fucked up, so is communism. Each time, I was quite literally verbally assaulted for “not knowing jack shit about history” and offered arguments to explain why I’ve been brainwashed and life in the USSR, cultural revolution China and contemporary North Korea is in fact a paradise. And promptly after, I got banned from whatever community I had commented on, and preventively banned from other tankie communities I hadn’t even set foot in 🙂
The tankies are like MAGA people: they’re truly deranged individuals.
I also had this happen to me when I was on .ml
Well both support trump so it makes sense
Do they?
The tankies aren’t right in the head, but I don’t think they support Trump.
I think it’s more along the lines that they know trump’s bad for the west, so hell yeah, more trump!
Yeah, they have critical support for Trump and are vocal about it
Jesus H. Christ on a corndog… I didn’t realize. Their compass really is all over the place 🙂
Their compass really is all over the place 🙂
can you really even call it a moral compass when it points in random directions every time it’s consulted?
Cheap labor and no regard for quality or safety.
Don’t worry. With Trump, this will come to US sooner or later.
The tankies yearn for the Foxconn suicide nets.
Tankies be like: ‘no, no, it’s just for safety reasons because workers may fall out of the windows for some reason!’
workers may fall out of the windows for some reason!’
(also just checking, this isn’t you calling for their suicide, is it?)
No, absolutely not. I don’t think any society is good that treats its workers so poorly it drives them to suicide. I do not wish to see my country have to employ such devices.
Yep, how can someone think that is trickle down.
More like trickle up economics. China got mega rich elites as well.
made in china
Pros: there is no tracking or spyware.
Cons: wifi still sucks.
-what does it do?
-glow blue.But comrade, China is so efficient it only needed a small board. The space it just for aesthetics! (/s in case anyone needs)
Edit: it gets better the more I look at the picture. At first I thought it was hooked up to one antenna but it’s not hooked up to any. Most likely the board just powers LEDs and nothing else. My sarcastic comment still stands though.
Everything is made in china.
Not really
Chinese products generally fall into two categories:
-
products that require specific technical skills
-
things that are knock offs or straight up copies of foreign companies
China has a skilled workforce that is unmatched in most of the world. The problem is the government.
Goods that require labor but not a lot of skill such as shoes typically sent to developing nations since labor is cheap and prevalent
They also don’t let those pesky safety standards get in the way of production. What is a worker when there is a million more?
-
ain’t capitalism grand
$2.5 + some undisclosed amount charged from one’s taxes to subsidize processing of the package, because China is a group 2 country in Universal Postal Union (a poor developing country 😢).
Where’s it say this?
Straight from Chinese sources: US attempt to strip China of its developing country status doomed to fail.
Not like it was a secret about China being a “developing nation”, but what they themselves don’t say is how that status is still kept safe thanks to debt slaves.
Do you have any other sources backing this up? Preferably more reputable ones?
