It’s so awkward explaining to Chinese people that Musk is 1. dumb as shit 2. a fascist.

water in the rad fluid thing

Is it at least distilled water?

Because that water runs through your radiator and engine block, you want all those narrow passages and thin pipes full of rust?

A revolution is when the people seize power.

Correct, literally the more power capital has, the less power the people have. This isn’t just power within the government, since any power the capitalists are allowed to exercise is an extension of the government enabling it.

China does get some utility from the capitalist class; their national bourgeoisie, who can be controlled somewhat, has helped develop the means of production without totally selling out to foreign bourgeoisie, who can’t be controlled at all. One of the stars on the Chinese flag is for the national bourgeoisie.

It remains to be seen whether they were right or this turns out to be some class collaborationist horseshit.

Honestly I think it is inaccurate to even call it a people’s democratic dictatorship; the influence of capital isn’t zero. It’s less than other countries, but for example, Cuba is a much better example of a place where the people have dictatorial control over policy.

it’s now looting the environment

It’s much better today than it was even 20 years ago. There is still significant work to be done and remediation of places that have elevated cancer rates due to lack of regulation enforcement will take a lifetime, but you’re talking about the wrong China.

minorities in its own borders

This is a fabrication. Minorities have special protections and autonomy. It is exploiting its own people though, while there has been significant reductions in extreme poverty, they aren’t doing nearly enough here. [random Chinese people I talk to in China and border countries]

Land is taken by the state to build mines. Little regard for the people or the environment.

Is Germany a dictatorship?

One of the benefits of money and fame is that it should help with depression and material conditions so you don’t find yourself sleeping in rat-infested trash.

There’s people who aspire to have money and internet fame, and still sleep in rat-infested trash?

??? I’ve been going there every few months for the last 2 years and haven’t gotten sick. I do know a couple foreigners who got sick, one from cross-contaminated pre-cut fruit, and one from some diner they were invited to party at. I did have mountainside-clearing farts when I went to Korea the first time tho.

people getting/skimming “gutter oil” out of trash cans and sewers to use for frying street food.

Oil does not grow in sewers and trash cans. Old oil can be stored in cans buried in the sidewalk or in bins behind the shop. That oil is recycled for industrial processes, though there was an issue where people were buying that refined oil to use in food like a decade ago.

There’s no reason to put oil in the old oil can and then take it out to reuse when you could just not take out the old oil.

The food safety isn’t great in asia as a whole, but the gutter oil thing is taken massively out of context.

I mean we haven’t checked on her in 4 years, who knows what she’s up to these days.

That fascist streamer with the really bad hygiene. Every few months I hear something against my will and just think “Wait why is this guy influential? Who is he influencing?”

That doesn’t apply for open models that you can run locally, like Deepseek.
