  • Developing countries, especially China, led the clean energy charge but richer nations including the US and EU relied more than before on planet-warming fossil fuels for electricity generation.

    China remains way ahead in clean energy growth […]

    India experienced slower electricity demand growth and also added significant new solar and wind capacity, meaning it too cut back on coal and gas.

    In contrast, developed nations like the US, and also the EU, saw the opposite trend.

    I’ve not read a single BBC rag article for a while now, are they usually this sloppy nowadays with how they portray the West in the best light LOL… Looks like they gave up trying mid-way. Very poetic.


  • Landback is part of the fine variety of solutions that can be effectuated. Also, is there any doubt that the US, Australia and New Zealand are settler-colonies that it prompts enclosing with quotation marks? Could you expand on that?

    And sure, yeah human rights violations happening in one place or the other is “all bad”, then pray tell, why is it that the manufactured outrage is reserved specifically for WANA countries, but not for the imperial West that don’t exactly have a great track record on human rights, even worse than WANA combined?


  • I find it funny when Westerners suddenly pretend to care about human rights when bougies visit a Western client state but crickets will chirp when they visit literal settler-colonies like the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, Canada, or when they visit countries that continue to have colonies today like Denmark, France, the U.K., or when they visit countries that gave birth or provided/continue to provide human capital to the Euroanglo-Zionazi Entity like… basically the entirety of the Global North.



  • Personally, I would’ve preferred you responded with xenophobic slurs targeted at Arabs like me than with whatever LLM answer this is supposed to be, but you do you I guess. I would’ve almost taken you seriously… almost.

    So here, let me throw a random ass quote at you:

    And so, indeed, is the Orientalist attitude in general [referring to a quote by shitlib Isaiah Berlin]. It shares with magic and with mythology the self-containing, self-reinforcing character of a closed system, in which objects are what they are because they are what they are, for once, for all time, for ontological reasons that no empirical material can either dislodge or alter. The European encounter with the Orient, and specifically with Islam, strengthened this system of representing the Orient and, as has been suggested by Henri Pirenne, turned Islam into the very epitome of an outsider against which the whole of European civilization from the Middle Ages on was founded. The decline of the Roman Empire as a result of the barbarian invasions had the paradoxical effect of incorporating barbarian ways into Roman and Mediterranean culture, Romania; whereas, Pirenne argues, the consequence of the Islamic invasions beginning in the seventh century was to move the center of European culture away from the Mediterranean, which was then an Arab province, and towards the North.


  • It’s not hard to see why the post was deleted on the other comm, the mods there take editorializing very seriously, you especially crossed that line with the FUD headline and post.

    The updated rootkit will be uploaded and installed to your computer kernel automatically upon closure of the deal.

    This isn’t in defense of EA, and I’m aware of their anti-cheats and many like it having kernel-level access, but how do you know this? Where is this coming from? How will it be magically installed once the deal is closed? When will it be installed? Who’s to say it hasn’t been “installed” already, years long before any of this deal thing came up? Would you have come up with that conclusion if Saudi Arabia’s PIF wasn’t part of the deal/mentioned in the article? Does this apply to every single EA game from their catalogue (IIRC some games aren’t locked-in to the Origin client)?

    If these questions are difficult to answer, then there’s your problem.




  • oh, somehow it’s georestricted? dafuq… Anyways better links/sources are available in the other reply.

    What I meant to say was that site gives qatar’s views on everything, and have a vested interest in making it look like the west is completely unable to recognize gaza and such

    But the Western nations, who engineered the settler-colony currently occupying Palestine, is incapable of recognizing Palestine. All the recent news about the West recognizing Palestine aren’t actually in any way meaningful when A) they’ve propped up and maintained the settler-colony for decades and continue to do so, while also recognizing the Euroanglo-Zionazi settler-colony that they themselves manufactured and B) the recognition itself is under the condition that Hamas is dissolved or anything to that effect.

    No research, no right to speak.

    Tell us exactly where Al Jazeera is wrong, tell us exactly what an unbiased news outlet is like and what an unbiased view of Palestine is supposed to be. No research, no right to speak.

    nobody is arrested unless they commit an actual crime [in Fr*\nce]

    Is using the word “intifida” a criminal act and therefore should be followed up with an arrest?

    Is it a crime to resist occupation and settler-colonialism that is also worthy of being locked up for 40 years?

    Should students be dragged on the ground by police on their way to the car for the crime of invoking their “strongly-protected right to strike”?

    I don’t know how you claim to see Pro Palestine protests and activism but don’t even know half the shit that the Fr*\nch state carries out under the banner of “protecting democracy”, and also somehow have the guts to claim China doesn’t have the conception of Right to Protest. No research, no right to speak.

    liberation.fr and lemonde are news sites that are pro-palestine

    These “news sites” use the terms “war on Gaza” and “Israel-Hamas War/Conflict” to pretend as if it’s a playing-level field of two equally matching opposing militaries and to downplay genocide. They are also owned by bougies whose shared material interest is keeping the settler-colony alive. No research, no right to speak.

    Citations needed on the Hong Kong stuff. Championing universalizing ideals of “both the West and China are equally imperialistic and bad” is a reaction so meek, so infantile, that it doesn’t actually ideologically and materially go against Western hegemony or imperialism. Therefore, by also considering the other things you’ve opined, it makes you a lib.

    No research, no right to speak.
