    Hi yogthos,

    i’m newhere, i see you post frequently. i guess you use a bot or plugin or something :)

    There’s this woman testifying that high in western politics there’s no place for ‘normal’ people. This lady has created a youtube channel where she and other victims testify by personal account of (the nature of) what goes on behind the scenes. In the channels ‘about’ it claims “Our project includes original content and first-hand accounts only”. On her channel there’s (amongst others) both a playlist of ‘satanic ritual abuse’ victims, and ‘human trafficking’ victims. https://www.youtube.com/@RealWomenRealStories/playlists i couldn’t even imagine the terror they are inflicted. Quite enlightning, putting politics in a very different perspective.

      Yeah, that’s a very different perspective exposing the truly dark aspects of life under capitalism.

        i’m quite sure also other ideologies can’t escape this kind of evil infiltration though. it’s not that only wealthy people are subject to it. it infiltrates all positions of influence i.e. govern-ments.

          “It happens in my country’s government, therefore it must happen in every country’s government”

          Projection!

          We have direct evidence that socialist systems avoid many horrors seen under capitalism. As an example, I highly recommend reading chapter 6 in this book which gives lots of direct examples of what happened after USSR dissolved and capitalism was introduced.

            Trudeau praises China. Past couple of years have proven that in both countries freedom is a farse.

            While were discussing governments, satanists infiltrate whatever positions to rule the masses. Anneke lucas (the channel i gave) shares what she endured. It paints another problem paradigm

              That’s not what people who actually live in China say

              • https://www.csmonitor.com/World/Asia-Pacific/2021/0218/Vilified-abroad-popular-at-home-China-s-Communist-Party-at-100

              • https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/11/18/world/asia/china-social-mobility.html

              And this isn’t exactly a surprise given how much people in China have seen their lives improve over the years. China account for vast majority of poverty alleviation globally:

              If we take just one country, China, out of the global poverty equation, then even under the $1.90 poverty standard we find that the extreme poverty headcount is the exact same as it was in 1981.

              The $1.90/day (2011 PPP) line is not an adequate or in any way satisfactory level of consumption; it is explicitly an extreme measure. Some analysts suggest that around $7.40/day is the minimum necessary to achieve good nutrition and normal life expectancy, while others propose we use the US poverty line, which is $15.

              China also massively invests in infrastructure. They used more concrete in 3 years than US in all of 20th century, they built 27,000km of high speed rail in a decade. 90% of families in the country own their home giving China one of the highest home ownership rates in the world. What’s more is that 80% of these homes are owned outright, without mortgages or any other leans. Real wage (i.e. the wage adjusted for the prices you pay) has gone up 4x in the past 25 years, more than any other country. This is staggering considering it’s the most populous country on the planet. Social mobility in China is also very high.

              So, not really sure what you’re going on about here.

                That’s not what people who actually live in China say … So, not really sure what you’re going on about here.

                Well, you’re talking about income/wealth improvement, while i said that freedom isn’t what it portraid like under any regime. That covid made it quite clear.

                With regard to what Chinese people say about China. i’ve spoken with Chinese refugees. They were captured and tortured for practicing falun-gong(a.k.a. falun-dafa. see https://faluninfo.net/ ) and i’ve seen a Chinese refugee’s fingers which had been mutulated by needles being pushed under his nails. And not much later i spoke a Chinese lady who was shocked that i knew of falundafa. We realized she only knew the state-propaganda side of the story. Having followed the HongKong protests, you might seen the real face of CCP as well.

                Both your and my talking points don’t discredit the other, right? i mean, wealth doesn’t say anything about freedom.

                  No, I’m not just talking about income/wealth improvement. I’m talking about access to housing, education, healthcare, jobs, social mobility, and so on. All these things are actual tangible freedoms people in China enjoy.

                  Ultimately, it’s important to define what freedom means instead of just using nebulous slogans as western propagandists do. Freedom can be seen as the measure of personal agency an individual enjoys within the framework of society. Having access to education, housing, healthcare, and so on, affords people real freedoms that allow them to pursue self actualization.

                  What covid made clear is that China saved millions of lives while western oligarchs decided to sacrifice people to keep making profits.

                  I have friends from China, and I know people I went to university with who went back to China. Vast majority of people living in China are happy as all the studies from western sources that I linked show. Meanwhile, falun gong is a cult and it’s rightfully banned in China for very good reasons. If you spent a bit of time educating yourself on what falun gong actually is you’d understand why.

                  Meanwhile, China took a very restrained approach to dealing with US backed violent mobs in HK. You just have to compare the handling of that to the brutality of US regime when it was dealing with peaceful George Floyd protests.

                  Both your and my talking points don’t discredit the other, right? i mean, wealth doesn’t say anything about freedom.

                  Your talking points are rooted in western propaganda narratives that have little to do with reality.
