ChatHXB, which socialist leader do I share the most personality traits with?

A website isn't a person, so call it whatever you want. It's still twitter to me, though I try not to think about it enough to care about what its called.

Honestly I'll call anyone real by their chosen name no matter how much I dislike them. Generally name jokes (Putler, Drumpf, Xi Jinpooh, Leon, etc) are just infantile and reddit-tier unfunny, if not actually offensive.

I saw pro-Palestine protesters last time I was in Japan, nothing pro-Israel.

But politically why would China suddenly reverse their very strict anti-drug policy? If anything it's been trending stricter over the past decade, an about-turn would just be odd.

Don't see it in the near future, what would the incentive be?

Reddit discourse is always dogshit. My biggest issue is the anti-women ranting over Alicent's actions in the final episode, complete lack of media literacy from the internet public.

His Dad was, but fell out of favor. Xi grew up in a cave and struggled to join the party.

His later political career almost certainly benefitted from his family connections (after his father was rehabilitated) but he'd also experienced real working-class struggle during childhood.

Yeah but melty roads is a smaller issue than the apocalyptic famines anyone further south is gonna face.

Isn't the point that global warming could make a lot more of the country liveable? Same with Russia, climate change could potentially turn frozen tundra into usable land.

Feels potentially real to me, corporations love performative allyship, just look at the attempted cooption of pride. I could absolutely see a company prioritising queer hires (in certain industries.)
