Good on you to research. The more one realises how much wealth disparity negatively affects everything, the more one realises how much we need to change.

A LOT of the deaths in the category of “individual behaviour” are just diseases of poverty and/or society. Like come on, depression, drug & alcohol use, and road deaths are not even close to entirely individual.

I guess when you consider that citizens of rich capitalist countries have to throw away so much of their income in commodified and privatised education, I guess that it is possible that countries like can spend near the top.

The Australian Strategic Policy Institute thinktank estimates that 95 civilian universities in China have links to the defence sector.

Oh, the think tank with the guy who gets satellite images of schools and says that it’s definitely a Uighur concentration camp, the one funded by the military.

You realise that they are entering with valid visas, right?

I just double checked. This was NOT yet published in the NY Times or Washington Post.

Top global firms, such as Ernst & Young and KPMG, did not flag concerns about the bank in their audits, public documents show.

Yet again, capitalist regulation not doing what they promise

Good for you for at least caring about Gaza.

I haven’t been following this as closely

I think you mean that the Western media isn’t reporting atrocities on non-white people. This isn’t your fault, per se, just that that system is very broken.

Do you have the same opinion about Gaza and conscription in Isreal, by chance?

I came here to say: Good take

The 500k homeless people in the US humbly accept and understand.

Also this is in the end of summer, when prices are going to be their lowest.

I know multiple Ukrainian men who are trying to leave or have already left. No sane person wants to stay in that shell of a country, and lose a leg to a Russian mine.

Western liberals, please ship yourself over there and die already. We don’t need your Nazi apologies.

I have not gotten a respiratory infection since 2019, and people now are all like “OMG this summer flu”. Summer flu is not a thing.

He’s on your side. Really.

I said stop replying to me you knob

As someone who didn’t try to not to get sick, avoided wearing a mask whenever I could, went to crowded bars with friends during the height of covid, etc, and never once got noticeably sick,

You’re a sociopath. BTW, Most COVID infections spread through an asymptomatic carrier. You likely did give many people COVID and did cause death and disability. Please stop replying to me, you knob.
