LMAO so this is 100% a Chinese propaganda website. Have you looked at the articles there? Not saying it's true or not true. But first of all, this article is from 2021 and secondly I don't buy Chinese propaganda.

Exactly! Who the fuck is "Friday Everyday"? I tried to look up the web site on Wikipedia, and it doesn't exist. All I saw was their own self-description here:

FRIDAYEVERYDAY is the online arm of Friday Culture Ltd, a group of friends from Hong Kong who want to present our beloved city and country through the eyes of people who live here.

ROFL, wow, okay. Actual Chinese propaganda.

"Now look what YOU made me do" yelled the man after he slapped his wife.

This is what the Russians are yelling about Ukraine and what China will yell when attacking Taiwan.

Sorry to hear you only consume US state approved propaganda.

[–] yo_carny_bob_eye@lemmy.ml 28 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Why on earth would you assume I consume US media, let alone what kind of US media I allegedly consume? Unlike you I actually was born and grew up in a dictatorship with actual state approved media. Your stupid comment is an insult to the victims of dictatorships everywhere.

[–] FireMyth@lemmy.one 13 points 2 years ago

It's yog- he's 100% a propagandist across multiple platforms. Whatever he posts you can safely assume is pure propaganda and only tangentially related to reality.

[–] Radicalized@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

Out of curiosity, was your dictator put there in a coup supported by the US?

[+] yogthos@lemmy.ml -12 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I grew up in USSR, and a lot of numbskulls called it a dictatorship.

[–] Viper_NZ@lemmy.nz 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How were those free and fair elections in the USSR?

[+] yogthos@lemmy.ml -13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

A lot better than in western shithole countries.

[–] DogMuffins@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm speechless.

Maybe educate yourself on the subject then. A democracy is a government that works in the interest of the majority and is held accountable to the people of the country. A government like that would ensure that everybody had food, housing, healthcare, education, jobs, and retirement the way USSR did and the way none of western "democracies" seem to be able to.

[–] DogMuffins@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is such a disengenuous statement dripping with derision. Honestly trotting out this glib phrase is a clear declaration that you're not interested in a good faith discussion.

A democracy is a government that works in the interest of the majority and is held accountable to the people of the country.

The vast majority of people in "shithole western countries" would say that this is true of their government. I'm not sure that's true for people living in the USSR.

everybody had food, housing, healthcare, education, jobs, and retirement the way USSR did

We have all of those things. Sure they're not directly provided by the government, but the government develops legislation to ensure that the overwhelming majority of citizens have great access to those things. The idea of a food shortage in Australia is unheard of. Was that true of the USSR?

Don't pretend you were ever interested in having any sort of good faith discussion here.

The vast majority of people in “shithole western countries” would say that this is true of their government. I’m not sure that’s true for people living in the USSR.

Given the level of discontent in western societies right now, I don't believe you. Meanwhile, as opinion polls show majority of people who lived in USSR now say they prefer the old system after getting a taste of the capitalist paradise.

We have all of those things.

There are literal tent cities of homeless people growing in many G7 countries each and every year:

The idea of a food shortage in Australia is unheard of. Was that true of the USSR?

CIA says that people in USSR ate just as much as Americans after WW2 period while having better nutrition:

You are really delusional and a liar. I do not believe for one second you grew up in the USSR, not one nano second. If you were present during that that period you would have noticed that these proud USSR population did not walk but ran towards the west and all the things they really wanted. Not what USSR barely could provide (remember the lines before shops? No you don't, you were not there) but what the west could and would provide. You casually forgot that. Well, you could not forget little liar as you lied about being alive and present in that period.

I was and I call you out: liar!

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml -5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

You can't believe that I grew up in USSR and actually liked my life there because you're smooth brained victim of western propaganda. And when you're faced with people who actually lived in USSR and liked it, you're incapable of processing this information. Meanwhile, you can stop calling me a liar, cause I still even have my original USSR passport. Learn to deal with it troll.

You can keep calling me whatever you like, but anybody reading this thread can clearly see that you're just insane.

There are a few too many compression artefacts and the small/strange aspect ratio/resolution of something you would've used a phone to snap a picture of....

Post one with you holding or giving me the middle finger or something and I'll believe you. I'll even go snap one of my Ukrainian passport (I burnt my soviet one). I might have my Polish one somewhere though...

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml -3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

You're such a bad troll, it's hilarious. Maybe learn how jpeg compression works there before playing detective. 😂 Hilarious how you think I'm going to dox myself for you here. You believe whatever you like though, it's pretty clear that you live in your own alternate reality.

[–] Stanley_Pain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

JPG compression is supposed to be uniform across the image. It's not in your images case. It's called ELA, and that's a big red flag.

How would posting your middle finger actually dox you?

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml -3 points 2 years ago

Thanks for letting us know that you don't understand how jpeg compresison works. 😂 It's not uniform across the image, it compresses similar regions. And enjoy:

[–] APassenger@lemmy.one 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I don't look for you, but you're never far away.

This is another example of you being glib and acting like you know a person and their failings with profoundly little evidence.

If you want to be taken seriously at all, work on being able to draw clear conclusions from a body of evidence and then be able to use rhetoric well.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml -5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You know you could have replied with the exact same reply to the parent comment, yet you chose to reply to this one. Curious.

[–] APassenger@lemmy.one 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't see them being glib on every 10th thread I click through.

That distinction is entirely yours.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml -5 points 2 years ago

If people make idiotic comments then they shouldn't expect generous replies. I don't ever make any glib comments when somebody makes a respectful reply that's on topic. Respect is earned.

Ahh the old whataboutisms come out.

[–] Lmaydev@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

YES, WE WANT WAR. But just a small one, please, followed by a quick surrender. The United States is diligently working with Australia and the UK to goad China into what they hope will be a limited war over Taiwan, according to military strategists

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml -3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I mean did you sleep through US working with UK and Australia to put nuclear subs in Australia, what do you think the purpose of those subs is exactly?

[–] Lmaydev@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nuclear deterrent

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Deterrent of what exactly?

[–] Lmaydev@programming.dev 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Nuclear weapon use haha

[–] UFODivebomb@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

I love that you've been entirely correct in both of these replies haha. Like, that really is it: nuclear deterent against nuclear weapons. Whose? Doesn't matter.

You no touchy. We no touchy.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That doesn't make a lick of sense when you think about it for even a minute. Nuclear weapon use by whom and for what possible reason?

[–] Lmaydev@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

MAD is well established.

Maybe someone who's bit off more than they could chew in a open conflict with their neighbor.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago

Once again who would be using nuclear weapons and for what reason. China is Australia's biggest trading partner in case you weren't aware.

[–] sunbeam60@lemmy.one -1 points 2 years ago

Contain an expansionist China, which is intent on subjugating free people?
