  • Yes? I don't know where this thread is going.

  • Imperialism is when a country (or any political group, I guess) pushes their worldview onto others. That's without looking anything up so I may have forgotten some aspect.

    ...

    Okay, I looked it up. I agree with the definition I found that says it's more about exerting power than just "worldview". That seems like a better definition.

  • Okay. So you see what I'm saying then. Imperialists do this stuff.

  • Ah. Google Translate comes through. I think the relevant part is where they say (machine translated): "Mainly due to the mistakes of the "Great Leap Forward" and the "Anti-Rightist Movement", coupled with natural disasters at the time and the Soviet government's treacherous breach of the contract, my country's national economy encountered serious difficulties from 1959 to 1961, and the country and the people suffered heavy losses."

  • There is literally no link I could have found that would not have triggered your criticism. There is literally no Western media outlet that would not be labeled "empire-sanctioned" by you.

  • According to a Wikipedia article, "After the launch of Reform and opening up, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officially stated in June 1981 that the famine was mainly due to the mistakes of the Great Leap Forward as well as the Anti-Right Deviation Struggle, in addition to some natural disasters and the Sino-Soviet split."

    The official statement is here, but I don't read Chinese.

  • But yet the DPRK is still "a threat to world peace"? Interesting 🤔😁

  • Canada? I can't find a reference to where we've "invaded, bombed, couped, supported dictators, supported terrorists and/or interfered in elections" in Canada since 1900. Nor Greenland, though we did put nuclear weapons there without being clear about it, if that counts.

  • Where are all the successful "red cities"?

    Jump

  • I guess. I still think there's a difference between DFW and, say, the Twin Cities. You won't catch me living in Texas.

  • Where are all the successful "red cities"?

    Jump

  • But still, the cities on the list are all cities in red states. That's weird.

  • Hmm. That's an interesting theory.

  • No need to bring libertarians into this.

  • Where are all the successful "red cities"?

    Jump

  • Right here. Scroll down for the list of cities most people are moving to. They're all red. (Or, charitably, blueish spots surrounded by red.)

    People must be moving there for some kind of reason. There's jobs. They're safe. They have stuff to do. Some kind of reason.

  • Do we dream smaller now than we did decades ago?

    Jump

  • But OP asked about "decades ago". What if humanity was actually making progress in the 20th century, becoming better, and now we're backsliding to where we were during gladiator times?

  • Changes to Bitnami Catalog on August 28th

    Jump

  • We use expensive vendor software at work that uses bitnami images in their Helm chart. I hope they know about this.

    Jump

  • Yeah. The shell, plus whatever command (or commands) you tell the shell to run.

  • Your way would spawn a whole extra process, but if you're running Bash commands I suppose that doesn't often matter.
