    Wasn’t @ProudSocialist once a super obnoxious Clintonite lib? I remember his posts being extremely facepalm worthy when he first changed usernames after 20 minutes of supporting Bernie.

    Whilst I agree with the premise, what is up with the meme formats that are just “the following is a statement that I agree with”? Why don’t people use text for that?

      I guess images have become the standard way to share agitprop nowadays.

        Makes sense, and good on you for sharing agitprop. I just don’t like having my own font size, color, background, and text selection on Linux.

    China invests billions into pandas instead of feeding the poor rural citizens. Source: my Chinese friend

      That’s funny, this New York Times article claims that China is spending US money meant to protect pandas on infrastructure like “apartment buildings, roads, computers, museums and other expenses”. Which one is it?

        I could see both being true, as the past decade has seen a LOT of scams/fraud/embezzlement in China via real estate development for ghost cities. It would not be a stretch for the pandas to go from a PR grift of one sort to a funnel for a second grift.

          No capitalist system could survive a true audit without exposing money going into the wrong hands. There’s always going to be people getting too much and people falling through the cracks.

          The effects of China’s planning is that stuff that helps the working class happens more often. And that’s pretty neat when compared to state investment going into stock buybacks under finance capitalism.
