How is it cultural genocide when they have all public things (signs, documents etc) written in Mandarin and the local language? If the government rebuilds and renovates historical and religious buildings? Sponsors cultural events, like festivals, parades, performances etc.

This is true for all autonomous and minority regions and cultures in China btw, not just Xinjiang and the Uyghur people.

What do you mean by cultural genocide exactly?

And when was a requirement for communism?

A stateless, classless, moneyless society. How can a class own something then?

Absolute nonsense.

Communism is from each according to their ability, to each according to their want.

And it’s a centuries long process.

Bears have omnivore digestive systems tho.

Being from the Carnivora family doesn’t make you an obligatory carnivore.

(Though their last common ancestor was most likely an obligatory carnivore yes. But bears are a very old group, and they have evolved away from obligatory meat eating a long long time ago. We also have some adaptations away from being herbivores for example - shorter intestines than gorillas etc.).

Bears (with the exception of polar bears) actually hunt very little. Black bears barely eat meat even. Their diet is mainly composed of nuts and berries. They eat meat if they find carcasses or are desperate enough.

And like even deer hunt rabbits for food if they are desperate. You wouldn’t call them “predators”.

It is pretty advanced today 🤷‍♂️

Like all rain in Dubai is artificial.

But then it’s not “control” when they fuck it up and cause mass floodings like it happened not too long ago lol

We might “be” predators, but we didn’t evolve to be predators. At least not obligatory predators like tigers.

There’s no good evidence that shows meat from hunting was a major part of our diet for 99% of our evolutionary history.

The vast majority of ancient humans found subsisted mostly on fruits, tubers, grain etc.

It’s likely we started eating more meat only during the past ice age.

We’re more like bears than tigers.

All great answers. But there’s something people are missing, and it’s a trap created by modern neo-liberal economic thinking.

Humans are not perfectly rational entities. Capital is not an external alien force that is perfectly rational either (yet). It moves and is brought to life by human hands.

The ruling forces at the moment are losing their grip. They are desperate. Somethings ARE running away from them.

They are acting irrationally all the time. They are shooting themselves on the foot, over and over. This is one of those things imo.

Let me help you out:

There are NO sound arguments for racism, fascism etc.

None.

There is no point in listening to racists and fascists.

Ever.

I mean there were actually two “intelligence” explosions for humans, once as Homo Erectus like 2 million years ago. Then again as Homo Heidelbergensis ~ 700,000 years ago. So way before dogs.

As in we have evidence of H. Erectus with brains as big or even bigger than ours. And by the time of H. Heidelbergensis our brains stabilised around the size they are today.

Dogs 100% were selectively bred to be permanently juvenile as well.

Dogs have extreme neonatal characteristics. They are basically forever-wolf-puppies.

Their heads are rounder, eyes bigger, proportions more exaggerated, more playful etc. etc.

And we actually know the main brain difference between wolves and dogs is that dogs don’t mature basically ever neurologically.

Wolves are in basically every way smarter than dogs.

We dumbed down wolves and made them babies forever.

Our biggest rivals for millennia.

We are… fucked up.

Anyways love puppies ❤️

I love the fact it’s in the middle of India, almost the furthest it could be from the ocean.

I only started using TikTok cause a cool commie I follow on YouTube posts exclusive (long-form) content on TikTok 🤷‍♂️

And tbh I found many other cool commies on my FYP. Like the algorithm is much better than YouTube. YouTube will still from time to time suggest sigma grindset videos to me, or straight up fascist shit even. That has never happened on TikTok.
