  • Capitalists have capital, which they invest in legislative capture to create a more favourable environment for capital.

    It's capitalism unrestricted, since there is no restriction on what capital can do once enough has been accumulated.

  • Sadly, it produces much more their the upper classes if they're a middle class worker with the Chinese goal of a "stable job". But yes, property ownership in the PRC, outside of Shanghai, Beijing, and Hong Kong/Macao, is very high, and access to food and shelter is probably higher than any anglophone or European nation.

    Chinese petite bourgeois have quite a decent time, and have been given a lot of space to engage in commerce and money making in a way that as a British person am actually kind of envious of. And they do indeed gain a lot from their hard work.

    The working class in the PRC sadly don't have much in the way of pensions, and are about one serious illness or injury away from poverty. Which combined with lack of employee rights, makes it tricky for them. Post retirement people can often be seen rummaging through bins for things to sell to municipal recyclers (via local petite bourgeois middle men).

  • Yes, it is also the second most populous nation.

    It has a population of about 1.3 billion - 0.4 billion = 0.9 billion.And that 0.9 billion ain't 30:70 upper vs. working class.

    And of those 400,000,000 who are middle class - that comes with very long work hours and a huge level of stress. Maybe Capitalism with US Characteristics has that level of stress, competition, and grindset too. I'm European, so to me - the middle class of China seems overworked and stressed.

  • And white and blue collar jobs in the PRC.

  • I don't know if it's true, but I think I heard that in terms of transitions in the last decade, FtM outnumbers MtF.

  • Absolutely should.

    But the EU would like to continue to benefit from US military power and espionage while getting to pretend it is more moral. If the EU were to more overtly break with the US it would have to dramatically reformulate its neo-colonial economics.

  • Yes, they should.

    Trumo's threat to impose new, higher, tariffs on EU for starting to legislate against US tech monopolies and support local startups show how it would go.

    But better to put it forwards under the chicken taco and make headway, and then future US leaders (if any) would have to make open moves against environmental measures.

  • It's Parliament, there's often some heckling.

    Much more positive vibe on the whole than I was expecting from the post title. Only a handful of boos, and solid loud cheers when there was meant to be.

  • East Asian, China.

    So her given name is "Youyou", pronounced Yoyo (flat high tone).

  • What's confusing?

    There's a guy living in wage slavery making poor life choices that he justifies to himself as he finds no joy elsewhere in life.

    We sympathise with and laugh at the fool.

  • Seeing as China takes ethnic and genetic registration pretty seriously, no?

    Wow, any particular reason you have such a raging hate honer?

  • Most of the bestselling self help books are slop, just not necessarily AI generated.

    Truisms regurgitated by corporatist structures and advice groups to get people to struggle though and accept capitalism.

  • The "bi" is for both homosexual and heterosexual relations. Not gender itself.

  • ... But the suffragettes were terrorists.

    When states murder and wage war to get their way, don't let them convince you that terrorism is always wrong. Because they'll never say the state's violence is wrong.

  • Imperialism always comes home to roost.

    The technologies and techniques used to oppress the other get justified and moralised, and then get deployed in the metropole against the working classes.

  • Could always just do away with loans and make higher education free for the users.

    This paid method hasn't really helped much, has it and now if they're saying the loans are going to loose too much money... Why not cut out the middle steps and just fund universities?

  • Fun fact: rabbits eat their own poo.
