Nah g holocaust deniers, nazis, tankies, homophobes, and all authoritarian capitalists can get fucked. The way that countries like Canada, the USSR, the UK, and the USA protected “useful” Nazis after WW2 is disgraceful, but that doesn’t really have anything to do with modern Switzerland shutting down homophobic neo-nazis.

Doesn’t Thailand have a military coup every few years? When I visited back in 2014 there were signs all over the airport telling tourists not to join the protests against the latest military coup or you’ll end up in a Thai jail!

NZCTU is a good place to start if you’re a kiwi.

I’m a member of the E Tū union which is currently negotiating an industry-wide Fair Pay Agreement on behalf of all commercial cleaners in the country!

Hopefully they don’t just replace the USD with a different flavour of the same shit!

Wasn’t Google Photos super racist a few years back?

Kodi with a debrid service works great for me, the one I use has had maybe 2-3 days worth of downtime in the 3 and a half years that I’ve been using it!

Eh the authoritarian capitalists who love the CCP generally seem to embrace the fact that China is authoritarian - they see it as a good thing!

That’s likely one of the factors, but far from the only one; the internet makes it easier to expose the bad shit their government is doing, which has coincided with a rise in religious extremism and nationalism.

If you look at news coverage of the Americans over the past 20 or so years you’ll see a similar trend despite them supposedly being our allies.

Eh a decent number of those holy Indian cows end up as exported leather…

So you’d be chill with a bunch of white bogans moving to China then marching down the street while chanting crap about how they want a Christian nation? You’re fine with the USA assassinating foreigners who say stuff they dont like? Are you on board with the Bush/Trump era anti-islamic oppression?

Kinda hard to have a stable food system when an imperial power is stealing most of your food in a rather genocidal fashion!

Pretty sure that’s actually just a reference to the film Soylent Green…

Got a bunch of Athom bulbs (and smart plugs) along with a custom-built LED strip that’s attatched to the back of my TV!

Kinda hard to control the brightness and colour temperature on traditional lightbulbs!

Can’t control colour temperature and brightness, and it’s a pain in the ass getting traditional bulbs to automatically turn on with your morning alarm!

That said I personally wouldn’t buy proprietary smart lighting - all my lights are running the FOSS WLED firmware, controlled through self-hosted HomeAssistant and HyperHDR.

Money > standing up for random people who are being mistreated in a country far away from you.

Mate it may be hard to believe but the vast majority of people are not obsessed with American celebrities/politicians. Did you really need to leave some snarky comment about their former president on an article about thousands of people dying in a horrific natural disaster?

Apparently leftism is when you support right-wing authoritarian capitalists lmao

Yeah and the US made it very clear that they didn’t want USSR expansionism near their borders. Doesn’t make what the US has done to Cuba alright, just like it doesn’t make what Russia has done in Ukraine alright.

Was it bad that Russia threatened nuclear way because Ukraine wanted to defend itself from a belligerent neighbour?

The USA doing bad things in the past doesn’t make it alright for Russia to do the same bad shit.
