  • Its almost like that should be taught in school. Iran was one of the nations subject to a CIA orchetrated coup because they wanted to nationalize their oil reserves.

    But since its not relevant to vibe coding I doubt it'll make it into the curriculum.

  • Reminds me of all the famines the British caused in India. If there ever was a #1 of all time in stealing food it has to be them.

  • Oh Yeah

  • Its unfortunate that we (or our ancestors) have structured society and institutions in a way that rewards those traits. Makes one wonder when we would need to consider a restructuring of sorts.

  • Oh Yeah

  • Worse, a Nazi on Ketamine, Mushrooms, Ecstacy and Adderall. Even Hitler was only on Meth and some type of barbiturate to help him sleep.

  • Its has also been shown to improve survival in metastatic colon cancer. Agree that this is a poor example.

  • Yeah there was a short run there domestically at least. Those values have never really translated to foreign policy in ant meaningful way though.

  • Does the West have any such values? The entire colonial era was democracy for me, authoritarianism / fascism for thee. It was always self serving with loud marketing of values that were rarely an actual priority if you weren't part of the right compartment / demographic.

  • I'm dumb, password is passcode in this case. Just don't include any letters lol.

  • So.. How do you set a passcode?

  • The original article says women. Unless they are using women with small hands as code for children.

  • I would hope a social studies teacher would understand the pitfalls of Western orientalism and Western cultures obsession with describing other groups as 'its' rather than as whole persons.

    But if we're going to objectify people, why don't we get real technical about it. Why not move manufacturing to other east Asian countries? Even outside of East Asia, you can find many countries with less labor protections and large populations where you can select for millions of people with small hands. Why China? Anyone who is being intellectually honest knows that hand size was not the central reason.

    If this is widely accepted then Western culture has a long way to go when it comes to facing its history of racial objectification. Because this sounds less like a valid rationale and more like modern phrenology presenting itself as business and engineering acumen.

  • Young Chinese women have small fingers, and that has made them a valuable contributor to iPhone production because they are more nimble at installing screws and other miniature parts in the small device, supply chain experts said. In a recent analysis the company did to explore the feasibility of moving production to the United States, the company determined that it couldn’t find people with those skills in the United States, said two people familiar with the analysis who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

    They're supposedly paraphrasing "supply chain experts" but they could definitely paraphrase better.

    Western culture is built on a foundation of race based hierarchical brain rot and isn't it remarkable how it always finds a way to remind us of that?

  • Fascists are a threat to all life, including those that they define as their ingroup. They just feed them into the military machine in perpetuity. Totally on board with an antifascist Thanos.

  • Orrr we could sterilize fascists while the rest of us work towards egalitarianism and protecting the sanctity of life unlike these degenerates.

    No, really, people like this should get a maximum of three comments on racial purity per lifetime before they get a guillotine to the nutsack.

  • Has a higher star rating than El Salvador and Alcatraz according to Expedia so I'll take it.

  • Maybe we shouldn't be letting fascists march out in the open like this.

  • The Gospel according to Capitalism

    Greed is good

  • When individualism becomes brain rot.

    Some of these folk assimilated too hard into American culture 🤣.

  • Unclear if he actually wants to do that. He may just want to make money off of his crypto meme coin and via market manipulation.

    Its up to his supporters to see through the facade but given the average education level in the US (>50% read at a grade 6 level, not even high school) and general addiction to social media, it's unlikely.
