I am not sure what u mean by “care” but as someone who grew up isolated music has always been my best friend… or to be more accurate the best coping mechanism haha, you can coast through your moods and twists and turns of your life much better when you have a song to match your innerstate, idk but its like a way to validate ur internal emotions (which can get intense) in a safe way, nothing better than screaming “so give me reasonnn, to prove me wrong” after feeling betrayed🫣
Peoples satisfaction isnt a metric of democracy, are a lot of people happy with chinas government? Maybe, minorities certainly arent tho But the reason its undemocratic is that there isnt really anything to challenge the CCP or its policies, and dissent is punished and censored, people have historically been happy under monarchs, but doesnt make them democratic…
I dont think even you would agree that china is democratic tho… not to say the west are perfect democracies, and the data u provided reflects people thoughts… the china one raises some questions…
Thanks for ur perspective, i think they r fair points, but you are giving up a lot of personal liberty and freedom of expression if you are OK with systems of something like PRC, but i suppose that can be classified as a choice However I think that the censorship that goes around such countries also makes it harder for us to know anything other than for example China might want to show us, we dont really have much idea of how internal dynamics work there and if u choose to believe personal testimonies its not pretty…
Lemmy politics i find a bit confusing and maybe i dont understand it very well but all forms of black and white communism /marxism-leninism always seemed to have lead to totalitarian states… like correct me if wrong, its fair and completely normal to say that whatever the west amd especially countries like USA an UK are bullshit and need to dismantled atleast large parts of it… but i dont understand why they jump instantly to models of china and Russia… like i said maybe i dont understand it well enough…
The map of your face?🤔
Its been a few months since i read anything lmao but i read the map of salt and stars and the beauty of your face last, tried to read the other zeyn joukhadars book abt being arab and a queer but it was just too much for me😅 i am not smart enough to read that lol
I admittedly am not very well versed in israels insider history but during the creation of the state most people were european ashkenazi jews, and the arab Mizrahi jews faces severe discrimination and were sprayed pesticides and housed in camps and languages suppressed, and there were some serious allegations abt ethiopean jews about their donated blood being thrown and the state controlling their birth rates
Israel is just a violent colonial project of the west in the name of jews… always has been… its just it took two intifadas and a fucking genocide for the world to start noticing it
