Sorry, Internet got fucky and my comment got posted 3 times for some reason

Any defender of settler colonialism in the new world or Australia could say the same thing, and you would be the first to point out why it's bad.

Like it or not, Sinicisation and the destruction of mosques are colonialism and cultural genocide. The massive birth rate drop is also overwhelmingly likely to be genocidal. Even if every report about sterilisation is false, forcing an ethnic minority to have 90% less children than they were before is a genocidal policy: they want less Uighur children to exist.

Anyone who cares about the self-determination of indigenous peoples would naturally care about this too. China doesn't become ontologically evil because they do some bad stuff. No socialist project should be above critique. China is not our football team.

Having sushi and cake for breakfast. Bougiest breakfast I've ever had lmao

"China doing genocide is bad"

"So you're saying the west doing genocide is good?"

Mfs when a whole other sentence.

There are, I should probably try those. It's just you're recommended relatively easy sources in terms of language learning. Then again, a paper is a paper, they're probably much of a muchness in terms of complexity.

Thank you! ^-

I have you have a lovely whatever time of day it is for you 0u0

I'm in what my mum calls "snake mode."

Sushi rice is so damn filling lmao

Based.

I'm generally too invested in living a quiet life to pull stuff like this, at least with random coworkers. I'll only try and educate those who i think might have a chance of actually improving.

Love you too, goosy 0u0

The Germans cannot be trusted with a nation-state

I'm trying to learn German but whenever i check a German news site, the entire front page is bombarded with "terror-group Hamas attacks peaceful Israeli citizens."

It's fucking excruciating.

And even when they don't do this, once elected, their pathological need to "move to the centre" and be non partisan means you end up with Republican policies anyway!

Truly 4D chess.

Man I wish I could have known the public universal friend. Absolute ledg

That's... that's always been the point, yes. I mean the word itself means love of wisdom, which is quite literally thinking well.

All specialised disciplines of inquiry are downstream of and emerge out of philosophy, and any self-reflexive internal dialogue within these disciplines is inherently philosophical.

Most languages don't make the hard difference between Science and Philosophy like we do in English, and trying to sustain the difference in any absolute sense is basically impossible.

Philosophy is just radically open thought: the willingness to investigate seriously and update one's views, and, as best as possible, to keep one's ego out of what one finds.

No one likes effective altruistists, least of all most academic philosophers. They're a punchline.

Not that this in any way undermines my point. It's very anti intellectual to point at one shit philosophical movement and wash one's hands of the responsibility of thinking.

And yeah it's so fucking expensive to go private. Main reason I haven't.

Jesus, they can do that?
