Yup. I used to to think that future generations would look at our car culture the way we look at slavery. Destroying the planet for profit, comfort and laziness. Then the battery revolution happened and if anything the laziness got even worse.

Even vehicles that used to be prohibitive are now used more then the better option, like electric scooters, bicycles, etc. I see a lot more electric bicycles on the road now than proper ones. And most of them teenagers, so that’s not even the usual excuse of *it’s replacing a car " because they can’t drive, it just added more vehicles, just unlicensed ones.

But it makes people feel good with hypocrisy to pretend that they are doing something good, without really making any effort or sacrifice, except spending more money and consuming more.

It’s our idea of making a difference. Consuming.

The regime lost. They went into hiding or ran away. It’s not necessary for every single person related to a group to be killed for it to lose.

The soviet union lost. Nazis lost. The Ottoman empire lost. England, Spain, Portugal didn’t lose to an enemy but their empires died. One group is always thought as evil in western education, the other is not.

The united states need to be properly defeated for the next winners to see the American atrocities in a proper light.

But I would be already happy with just their empire fading away and only lies remaining in school books.

Yup. People forget that whatever the Nazis did, we only see them in a bad way is because they lost. Their enemies are making the movies and TV series we consume to this day.

Unless an actual enemy of the us defeats them, they will never be seen as villains. Even if they lose a lot of power but one of their allies takes over.

England committed countless atrocities and while that is known, they are not seen as villains. They are not in power anymore but their ally is. Even Israel can be a thousand times worse than Nazis, as long as they remain in the winning group they will be forever the poor victim of antisemitism defending itself against evil.

That’s what I thought, but when I talk to these sick people they say they “like” the loud, horrible, scary, obnoxious sound. They do it because they feel pleasure with the sound itself.

If it was true, they would do it even if they were alone. They would drive to the middle of nowhere to enjoy their horrible sound without other noise. But they only do it in heavily populated areas. Almost if they are really just fucking assholes wanting attention.

What is the truth? I guess we’ll never know. I can only hope for the law to be changed.

But unlike you, I wish no harm to the machines. Only to the drivers. Machines are useful tools, even if loud. The drivers should lose the right to drive. If you remove their tool they will find another one to misuse.

The drivers are the problems, the criminals. Not the tool they use to commit crime.

Why the down votes?

A company removed your freedom, their founder even famously saying that consumer don’t know what they want but apple does, knowingly give up all their rights to a corporation when there are alternatives, declare that they trust the corporation, accept when the corporation forbids them from giving anyone else money, and now they are going to cry when the corporation fucks them? Like it did several times in the past and yet they remained loyal?

Apple users are insane… The only reason to use android is because it’s the only current viable alternative to apple. But they use their stuff out of some weird masochistic choice, and then cries when their daddy beats them.

They 100% deserve what they got while they keep rewarding apple for their evil behaviour.

And if I ever give Google money, I 100% deserve to get fucked while using it too. And it would be stupid to expect anything else.

It’s not the reliability of the sources. It’s the obsession. Even the website you complain about have non Chinese content. But you are 100% constant anti China posts.

China does a lot of bad stuff. Every country does. But why do you obsess with them so much?

I would really like to know. Because with no explanation it either looks like you’re being paid by an enemy of China like the US or that something bad happened to you and you need to seek help because you got some deep trauma.

I don’t think Lemmy is big enough for the US to pay someone to do propaganda. So it looks really odd.

Have you ever checked your post history? Did you ever even post anything that’s not about China? And was any of those posts against?

China sucks, but if you are being honest you have some really twisted mind to not realise your obsession.

That loud cars not only exist, but there are actually more of them than in 3rd world countries. That it’s a “culture” here, and people actually use their excess money to make cars louder, bigger and more dangerous to everyone else (not the driver, he pays extra for his safety).

Coming from a 3rd world country to Australia it was one of my biggest disappointments. I thought we had loud cars because we we’re “uncivilised” or didn’t have the money to fix them. I was so wrong…

There are many others, but I guess this was the biggest illusion I had about first world countries.

Is he getting paid for that?

It’s funny people down voting but even the “propaganda” website they mention have a lot of non China content, but this guy is 100% foaming against China as if nothing else exists in the world. If that’s not propaganda I don’t know what is.

I’m not a fan of China, but there’s much worse evil in the world right now like the US and Israel before his brainwashing can work.

Funny opinion from someone who is obsessed with only posting stuff against China.

I don’t know if the source is worthy reading, but this user sure is not.

Thanks for the link. And this should be the new motto.

Or I came up with a different one. Lest we forget how some struggled to kill many for the profit of few.

And that includes the sacrosanct anzac. But that opinion can get me killed here.

I wish I could post this here in Australia without getting rocks from every white Australian. You can search my post history to see their reaction to questioning this.

Australia was involved in every one of those crimes. And the celebration for those meaningless murders are everywhere. Questioning this is questioning the sacrifice of Jesus.

Though by order of our north american overlords the US should not be alone in that title.

One thing i don’t usually see people mentioning is that personal data is money. Money is power. Do you want to give that company more power?

I absolutely do not want to make apple more powerful. With Android i can at least choose a company i dislike less, or even like, and give the power to then. Then i can even remove Google from the phone and not give them power. It may not be easy but it’s in the license of Android, while not so with Apple.

And that applies to every thing related to privacy to me. Do i want to make this company powerful? No? Is there an alternative? Then I’ll try that if i can.

If it’s too difficult to find an alternative i try to live with it. It depends on how much i hate the company and how hard is it to change.

My own privacy, funny enough, is not really that important to me.
