We’re doing genocide and it makes me want to die. We are all complicit. You did nothing to me, but what about the thousands of children your tax dollars are murdering every month? Do you feel any guilt for that?

Or do you think they deserve it because some of them have backwards opinions about lgbtq people?

I’m trans, they’re gonna fucking kill me dawg

I just hate this God damn country

We get what we deserve. 😔

Critical support.

Someone gave him a busy box. 👶

Critical support ✊

People are being sent to concentration camps.

Cow suckers don’t want to hear it.

Without revolution, things stay the same. Risk death on your feet or live on your knees.

Sometimes you can get lucky and avoid revolution, and we should always strive for those peaceful alternatives, but sometimes there’s no other choice.

It’s called revolutionary optimism.

Any time we use words in a way that’s different from a conversation it requires learning. That ranges from argumentation to story telling to, in this case, search queries. If it’s different from talking to another human, it’s a different skill.

I’m right where I need to be.

Yes, their decision helps their government stay stable and in control and it puts Western-backed counter-revolutionaries at a disadvantage. They have to do this or, again, they’re going to have to deal with political violence as people get radicalized by Western governments and billionaires.

I generally agree with China’s firewall, of course I’m not going to criticize it that much. I like it when my enemies are silenced, because I’m not a liberal and I don’t believe my enemies should have a right to speak. 😊

The world isn’t roses and sunshine, after all.

Well either they sell them at a loss or they just let them sit on lots forever.

Tesla would rather recoup some revenue than just scrap all their remaining inventory.

That’s a specific incident, I don’t think it shows some kind of widespread colonialism from China. This doesn’t compare to Belgium at all, their colonial behavior was well documented and systematic.

As for China’s firewall and their regulation of criticism, they have to protect themselves from propaganda that gets endlessly pumped out by Western billionaires and governments. There’s a material reason for these laws, they aren’t just evil totalitarians that hate freedom.

This sometimes results in people getting caught in the crossfire, and that’s not good, but what else can China do? If they just allow endless Western meddling they’ll have unrest and terrorism as people get radicalized by billionaires, far right factions, and the US State Department.

Yes? People aren’t born knowing how to use search engines. You learn this stuff.

Surely you see how using a search engine is a separate skill from just writing words?

Point is, people don’t want to learn. Natural language searches in the form of questions are just easier for people, because they already know how to ask questions.

Do you think you were born knowing what search terms are?

That really just sounds like working backwards from a conclusion to me.

We spend most of our time communicating with humans so we’re generally better at that than communicating with algorithms and so it feels more comfortable.

Most people don’t want to learn to communicate with a search engine in its own language. Learning is hard.
