Southern and central China are drowning. Since June 18, the regions have suffered their worst bout of flooding in a decade, furthered by a category 4 typhoon that hit the mainland after sweeping through Taiwan Friday morning, local time.

Maersk said both vessels carried cargo belonging to the U.S. Defense and State Departments, as well as other government agencies, meaning they were “afforded the protection of the U.S. Navy for passage through the strait.”

Don’t fall for propaganda like a dumbass. These two ships were carrying DOD cargo.

Don’t bother. “Mixed credibility” only matters if it doesn’t align with the mods’ personal political beliefs. It’s even enshrined in the rules list.

So… 2023 is still way below 2019? Makes a good headline, I guess

It’s been terrifyingly cold this year in parts of Canada. I imagine it’s been a similar phenomenon in Russia?

Why does the US constantly support regimes that abuse, threaten, and/or kill journalists? It’s just an odd coincidence, that’s all.

It’s only genocidal when they say it

Compared to 2022? What about 2019?

Unlikely if they also ban Chinese EV imports tbh

European car manufacturers are slacking so hard

This sounds good in theory, but moderation is an important part of keeping online communities, well, communities.

Each online community has a different Overton window, so it’s more a matter of finding a community that has an Overton window you can accept than anything else.

On this issue, lemmy.world is more American and rabidly pro-Israel and lemmy.ml is more international and rabidly pro-Palestine. Reddit might as well be an extremist platform calling for ethnic cleansing of all brown people.

lemmy.world is very Zionist, and lemmy.ml is very anti-Zionist. Pick your poison.

CNN, the same news org that runs ALL their reporting on this issue past the Israeli government?

Yeah…

At least one party is still checked into realpolitik.

American Presidents piss on the Constitution and then use it to wipe their asses. This is not news.

China’s exports to the West (as a proportion of the total) has been shrinking: most recently, it was reported that China now exports more to the Global South than to all developed countries combined.

This is, in large part, as China also pursues “friendshoring” by offshoring labour-intensive manufacturing to countries like Vietnam, Malaysia, and recently even considering expansion to Mexico.

Lee Duna has a pretty clear agenda lol

Might be based out of Fort Liberty for all we know

Still waiting for that apology from jordanlund. Figured as much. Some of the mods here are great (or at least have good intentions - I respect that), but one bad mod ruins the bunch.

I appreciate the work you mods do to clean up the community and respect that y’all can’t be perfect when cleaning up rule violations. I don’t think I’ve had any issues with your moderation in particular (it’s been fair and level-handed as far as I can tell) and I really love to see all the work you’re doing to make this community more welcoming. Looking forward to seeing what the new mod team does!

Happy New Year!

I’m not holding my breath waiting for an apology. I might not like mods’ agenda, but they have the power here.
