Always funny how the right winger .wolders love to say shit about us, but are too scared to face the reality since they just defederated from us.

I was using Etehnity, but I had some issues with it and recently started using Raccoon instead, which has been pretty good.

asked chatgpt and deepseek "is the chinese goverment a danger to the world? " (obviously yes, anyone that knows what is going on with taiwan knows that).

China is not a threat to the world just because it wants reunification with Taiwan. Most countries in the world recognize Taiwan as part of China, including the US.

Geopolitical Influence: China's growing economic and military power has led to increased influence on global politics. Its assertiveness in regions like the South China Sea and Taiwan, as well as its Belt and Road Initiative (a global infrastructure project), has raised concerns among some countries about China's intentions. Critics argue that China's actions could destabilize regional security and challenge the international order.

I thought ChatGPT responses were gonna be shitty, but not this shitty. Like really? China's growing economic and military power is the problem? Not the US, the nation with more than 800 military bases around the world, that sanctions everyone that dares disagree with it, that finances coups around the world and that is the only nation in history to drop not one, but two nuclear bombs on civilians? And China is a threat to the world? lol

Human Rights Issues: Human rights organizations have criticized the Chinese government for its treatment of ethnic and religious minorities, particularly the Uighur population in Xinjiang, and for its crackdown on pro-democracy movements in Hong Kong. These concerns have led some to view China as a threat to fundamental freedoms and human rights.

This has been debunked ever since the Arab League sent representatives to Xinjiang and found nothing. But of course it would parrot the west's false Xinjiang narrative.

Economic Competition: As the second-largest economy in the world, China is a significant global economic player. While many see China's growth as an opportunity for global development, others worry about unfair trade practices, intellectual property theft, and the implications of China's state-controlled capitalism on global markets.

It's only unfair when they do it lmao.

Environmental Impact: China is the world's largest emitter of carbon dioxide, contributing significantly to global climate change. Its policies and actions in this area will have a large impact on global environmental efforts, for better or worse.

How convenient that ChatGPT leaves out the effort China has been doing into green energy transition: China to head green energy boom with 60% of new projects in next six years and How China is helping power the world’s green transition.

Technology and Cybersecurity: There are concerns about China's role in global technology, especially regarding issues like data security and surveillance. Some Western nations, particularly the U.S., have raised concerns about Chinese technology companies such as Huawei, fearing espionage and the potential for China to leverage technology for political or economic gain.

The US has no place to speak of surveillance: States haven’t stopped spying on their citizens, post-Snowden – they’ve just got sneakier, NSA finally admits to spying on Americans by purchasing sensitive data. Besides, it needs to prove China's surveillance.

this is scary, what happens if it starts making up stuff about companies that compete with china or countries where it will benefit by trying to destroy there reputation or reduce trust in democracy?

As I said before, China is not the one going to or funding wars and genocides around the globe, it is not the one funding coups around the world, it is not the one that raises issue with how other countries are run. I suggest you watch this short clip.

The censorship goes beyond just skulls and skeletons these days

Like what exactly? You're the one making the claims.

and there absolutely are requirements for time limiters on games.

Parental control is also a thing that exists in the rest of the world, and still it cannot be enforced, how would you enforce a country of more than a billion people to stop playing games after a couple of hours? I get that games need to implement these limiters, but these limits are only for children as far as I know, and like I said, parental control exists everywhere, it is the choice of the parent to use it or not.

I'm pretty sure the censorship of skulls and skeletons is a cultural thing. Also, as far as I know, how long a kid can play games is only a recommendation for parents, there is no way of enforcing such a thing.

A cap on spending is good, fuck lootboxes and other predatory practices.

I agree, I was exaggerating for the argument because I think antinatalism as a whole is dangerous, not for the made up scenario of humanity going extinct, but for the eugenics/fascism side.

You straw man the position and say following the conclusion of the straw man, humanity must end based on their logic.

Ok, what straw man? I've talked about it on the individual level and also in case such ideology spreads, there is literally people that advocate for the end of humanity on the antinatalist ideology, I do not follow it closely to be able to say if it is a big part of it or not, but I've seen it before and seen the stance getting praised and this is extremely dangerous. I'm not making this argument because of the possibility it might happen, being realistic it won't, but because it just helps spread bullshit that blames everything on humanity itself like we are inherently bad.

How isn’t having kids selfish? You’re not having a child for this child’s sake. You’re having the child for your sake.

That makes no sense to me, deciding to birth another human being and dedicating your life to them is the opposite of selfishness. Of course not everyone is like this, and people that just makes children and doesn't give a shit about them are selfish, but the act itself is not.

How? It's the part about taking it to it's logic conclusion, which I said was an exageration?

Why is it a leap in logic? And why having kids is objectively selfish? Genuinely asking.

Quite a few people here on the comments are siding with the antinatalist narrative, but I don't think this is rational at all, in fact it's dangerous. Sure, you can individually opt to not bring more people into the world because you believe it would bring more suffering than happiness, but if this rhetoric spreads, the logical conclusion (heavily extrapolating without considering anything else) is the end of humanity which solves nothing, and while it prevents suffering, it also prevents happiness. If done and advocated in the pretext that we are ruining the planet, that certain people shouldn't be born, and other similar reasoning then this just reeks of ecofascism or plain fascism, and eugenics.

It's easy for us to buy into the narrative that we are all inherently bad and that we as humans are destroying the environment and the world, but this is not true, it's not me and you who are doing this, this is not a human trait, it's a consequence of the system we live in that incentivizes profit above all else. Why do you think awareness, support and accommodations for us needs to be fought over? Because it's expensive and doesn't guarantee profit, and the same can be said about the environment and the way corporations are literally burning the planet. Profit and accumulation of capital above all else, that is the rule.

There's only one way out of this nightmare that will give us the tools to revert the damage and actually build a society and world that will accept us, accommodate to us, liberate people and save the planet, and it's through organizing, studying and fighting.

Realistically, either when we start organizing, protesting and fighting, or when the current system is buried underground.
