I remember when GPUs were used to fold proteins...

I completely get this.

I have one friend who agrees with everything I say, but as soon as I say any word that falls into the category of "bad thing" (as determined by his facebook feed), he disagrees.

Some small business tyrant, who left the USSR when they were four and who doesn't pay his staff, telling me how bad the Soviet Union was.

I am white so I hereby officially give every hexbear user permission to use the words cracker, mayo and gammon, as well as to say anything you want about white people. If questioned about it please refer them back to this post where I am officially giving you the mayo-pass.

I think your comment might have exceeded their character limit.

Lol at the one attendee explaining how mud works.

Ok, so you want the government to be the landlord as you have more trust in a government monopoly than in a market.

Yup. Basically. Although it is worth noting that the type of government we currently have, beholden to capital, is not trustworthy. Their priorities first and foremost are to serving corporate interests, which is probably why you trust them so little. Any power or public capital they are entrusted with gets pumped into private companies whose sole purpose is to make as much profit as possible for as little expenditure.

Any government brave enough to outlaw private landlords is going to have much more socially oriented priorities and will be much more inclined to serve the public good rather than the almighty market.

This is basically word for word what I was going to post.

Xi Jinping has put a posting hit out on you.

If we pretend that what the USA does to its own people is acceptable, you still have to consider what it does to the rest of the world. I'm sorry, but in light of all the evidence, I see the US hegemony as evil. I also doubt the western media's portrayal of the Uyghur "genocide" and I don't agree that China is in the process of a Holocaust against its own people.

I'm lucky enough to have a job that puts me in contact with a lot of countries all over the global south of the world, and the general opinion from all of them is that China is a lot better prospect than old Western imperialism.

Sure, I will be all over the place. Once I know my plans a bit solidly I will let you know.

Yeah, I mean I did plenty of both.
