They aren’t denying any genocide.

Glad you learned something. Normally this is where I get told that the marxist version of the term is wrong or dumb even though it’s closer to the original meaning than the modern definition.

I am sure the authors of Merriam Webster don’t mean anything harmful. Dictionaries update their definitions based on how they see the term being used, and many modern people don’t respect the original meaning of the term. In political circles we still use the original meaning. You can see why this causes confusion.

You’re using a definition from a random dictionary. This is neither the original meaning of the term nor the one Marxists use. The version you looked up is a “new” bastardization of the original term.

The bourgeois class under marxism is the class that makes money by owning capital through the labor of others. Think about people who own businesses or have large investments. They don’t make all that money themselves, they make it from people who work in facilities they own.

There is something called petite bourgeois that could be called middle class. These are small business owners who both work their own business but also have employees they profit from. Marxists care about how you make money, not how much.

Why does he blow the whistle?

The bourgeois are the rich. You have been misreading the whole thing.

Given it’s responsible for many or even most democratic societies I would generally say yes.

You realize lots of societies including American and France were formed around terrorism and coup d’état?

You know it’s not often I agree with lemmygrad or hexbear but I think they have a point here. Shocking that people are against this. Ideally we would kill the billionaires that own this infrastructure as well, rather than just destroy it and hope they don’t rebuild.

orientalism

Since when does calling out genocide have anything to do with orientalism? Like if you just want a successful (given the circumstances) nation under Marxism-Leninism you could just look to Cuba.

the Uyghur people themselves, disagree with you

You’re gonna need some evidence for claims like this. I would have expected better from someone named after Paul Atredies.

On what basis do you call me a western chauvinist?

America is in an active state of collapse. My own country England is also slowly declining or has at least lost its relevance. These and other countries like France have done large damage to the world through imperialism. These are all things I acknowledge.

This is the problem I have with Marxists online. You can’t actually discuss with someone you don’t agree with without putting them into a box and making wild assumptions towards this end.

I would say that it’s all well and good for the people to approve of the government but this is meaningless when they lie and cover up information while committing crimes like attempted genocide and forced reeducation of minority groups.

Yeah this is mischaracterisation. I do not necessarily agree with the Marxists anymore but this doesn’t reflect what all Marxists believe at all.

But if, deep inside, you want to overthrow the government, everyone will hate you and you’ll be jailed or worse.

Don’t you guys also want to overthrow a government?

Or, put otherwise, if you use the democratic mechanisms in place, it’s all good. If you protest or demonstrate because you feel you aren’t heard by the government, that’ll usually have an effect.

Tell that to the people in china.

Stalin invented the term Marxist-Leninist. Before that they were just called Leninists.

Man you have to try lemon drizzle cake some time. It’s delicious.

If it’s lemon drizzle that would actually be appropriate lmao.

You’re passionate about something you don’t understand and have never tried.

Tap to click you remove your finger and press it back down to click. That’s why it’s called tap to click and not press to click.

With haptic touchpads you keep your finger where it is and apply more force. It’s a completely different gesture and is very similar to mechanical clicking touchpads.

Why it’s better is because it is consistent across the whole touchpad surface versus mechanical typically don’t work towards the top of the touchpad. Mechanical touchpads normally feel loose to me and you can’t change the actuation force. With a haptic touchpad you can change the actuation force since it’s a force sensor with a software defined threshold.

It also doesn’t feel anything like phone haptics. It feels more like a press than a vibration like a phone does.

These are also higher quality touchpads in general that have more resolution. Theoretical even better than the Apple force touch devices I have used.

Walk into an Apple store and try one of their devices before you complain again.

Have you ever actually tried a haptic touchpad? I have and honestly they are so much better everything else feels like a joke in comparison.

Also no it won’t have a physical click, that defeats the purpose. It’s also not the same as tap to click, it uses a force sensor.

Thank you I guess?

To be honest I don’t think intelligence can be boiled down to a single number. Like somebody or something can have a slow processing speed but can do a lot of different things, versus something or someone that is incredibly fast but limited in it’s usage. To some extent this actually happens inside human minds with things like system 1 vs system 2 in psychology having different roles within the brain/mind of a human and being suited to different things (flexible but slow and single tasking vs dumb but fast and parralel in this case).

Also I am considered by my society to have a mental disability. So regardless of how far right of this distribution I might be there are still things I don’t understand that more average people can. You could argue that those things are only domain-specific forms of intelligence but I don’t know if that’s actually true or not. There are too many variables and anomalies we don’t understand.

What the fudge is this comment?
