Most likely agentic AI will slowly infiltrate our lives until we are entirely reliant upon it, and then take over once we are obsolete

Maybe it’ll still give us treats tho

Hell, Americans should do that too. Great idea for almost any country, frankly

Number 1 is legitimately hilarious. You sound like my mom giving job-search advice

I’m officially criticizing Israel. Hope you boys are watching closely ;D

As a nursing aide, it’s because not enough of us are unionized.

I think it’s cute!

I’m so fucking in. Where do I sign up?

Ah, bummer. I’m aware of how it’s used in identity politics, but I’d never considered how that use might foster distrust in an already culturally repressive populace. Sounds complicated, and I’m sure the aftereffects of imperialism haven’t done anything to help the nations they left devastated feel positively about a trend they might identify as foreign in that way.

I’m trying not to get too caught up in semantics here. It sounds like you’re saying that the relocation that the Chinese government puts Uygher people through cannot be comparable to the relocation that other cultures have been put through, and that the lack of a mass death toll is serviceable evidence for that claim. Do I have that correct?

If so, it’s a good point! I think I had a presumption that the true nature of their (and any government’s) crimes was hidden. It does seem a bit far-fetched that it would be possible to cover up the kind of mass death that you’re saying would come with a colonization, so it’s a more reasonable metric than just making assumptions based on vibes I suppose. You’ve at least given me a less propagandizeable thing to research ^_

I largely agree, though Israel has used many nonlethal methods for a long time. There is a lot of violence involved in the process that doesn’t require death. Forced relocation is a pretty classic tactic, for example, which Israe has made ample use of in their ongoing genocide

Well it certainly doesn’t fit the picture I was described! I was told Uyghers were being killed in some cases, and rehoused en masse in others.

If what you’re saying is right, and the Uygher culture is allowed to continue unharried outside of radical minorities then I would agree that doesn’t really compare to the horrors of colonization!

Is it actually illegal to be queer there too? Or is that also exaggerated?

I’m genuinely undereducated here, not an op…

Accepting all that, that’s still essentially colonization, no?

Is there nuance I’m missing here? China’s seemingly codified cultural repression genuinely makes it hard for me to consider supporting them, whether or not they advance the cause of the average worker

It’s funny, I remember when it first came out a lot of the excitement was lowkey about expropriation. Bet that’s the real reason the price ever went up lol

Man I wish I could go

I want it so bad

How inspiring! Truly motivational! ☕️

Lmao that’s too fucking real

We’re wage slaves, we can only afford so much grief and self-hate or we end up homeless and addicted to something
