The amount of human ingenuity that's wasted on shit like figuring out how to make more intrusive ads, that could've instead been used to advance humanity is one of the biggest tragedies of capitalism.

How to say you're an ignorant American who's never seen a map in his life. China alone is 2.2% bigger than the US and has the biggest high speed rail network in the world.

Japan is still firmly subordinated to the US at the moment, but the fact that they're making statements like this shows that even US vassals are getting uppity.

Although, from what I've read politics in Japan tend to be very far right nationalist. So, even if they did gain some form of independence it's likely they're going to revert back to a form of fascism.

We'll see how things go, they definitely have a lot of problems to work through in the near future. Becoming decolonized is ultimately a prerequisite towards having any sovereignty, so that needs to happen before any positive change can occur.

I think so as well

You're right, simple and to the point messaging is for dummies. Sophisticated liberal mind requires propaganda that's full of sophistry and contradictions.

One has to have more brain worms than RFK Jr. to think that democracy is measured by the number of parties. What actually matters is whose interests the parties represent.

I'm skeptical there's any substantial shift, but it does look that they are losing the narrative war and now are at least forced to act like they're shifting position because there's so much public backlash. So, that's still progress.

In my 40s, do software development for a living.

I'm imagine people in tech are inherently over-represented on niche social platforms. Although, I do find that lemmy tends to have a political aspect to it as well that makes it attractive to people who might not care about stuff like open source.

People in China suffering from psychological problems would benefit from therapy the same way any other people suffering from similar problems would benefit. This should be obvious to anybody with a functioning brain. The fact that you felt the need to ask the question is quite strange to be honest.

Meanwhile, as I've repeatedly explained, whether using therapy is papering over anything or not is a question of whether the underlying cause of mental problems could be addressed instead or not. Let me know if you're still struggling with understanding this.

yogthos OP Mod ,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

I believe that using therapy instead of treating underlying causes amounts to papering over those causes. The location is utterly irrelevant to the point I'm making. I'm guessing China lives rent free in your head, and you're evidently unable to form a thought independent of the word China.

If you mean you want to make a clown of yourself by making an incoherent argument that has nothing to do with what I say, then you're doing a fantastic job of that!

My post wasn't about support for or against psychedelic therapy, that's just a hamfisted straw man you keep trying to build. What I was talking about is how people are drugged up so they can put up with capitalist exploitation. It's really adorable how you think you're being very clever here while making a transparently idiotic attempt at an argument. Do better.

How do you know that psychedelic therapy papers over anything?

If you don't understand how poor work environment and being overworked causes mental problems, then you should educate yourself instead of clowning around here.

If you knew anything about it, you would know that its exactly the type of thing that would open people minds to the reality of capitalist exploitation.

Being a pampered little brat this may come as a shock to you, but being exploited is what opens up people's minds to the reality of capitalist exploitation.

But it is obvious you don’t care about depression or therapy and are just looking for bullshit to feed your fellow commies

Ah back to your straw man since you don't have an actual argument to make. I love how predictable you are.

China is already dominating the world in lots of groundbreaking tech. You keep on coping though.
