my point was it doesn’t have to do with population as much as it has to do with capitalistic demand and monopoly/cartel dynamics

more population means more artists and artistry, which means more concerts, but please go ahead and make this about “overpopulation”

i’ve been gone for a few months and the change and seeing liberals getting dunked everywhere i go is absolutely hilarious. i can’t believe there are still folks like this in 2023

i don’t see any labels for NPR, BBC, CBC, or RT. maybe all the “state-affiliated media” tags were removed?

edit: nevermind looks like Xinhua has it

oh we doin whataboutisms??

• like the US doesn’t indefinitely hold Muslims as supposed terrorists

• like the US doesn’t indefinitely hold asylum seekers, with their children separated, as supposed narcotrafficantes

• like the US doesn’t have state laws purposely profiling people based on skin color to excuse traffic stops and arrests

• like the US didn’t devote their entire socioeconomic foundation on racial segregation programs and residential schools and women being property and forced sterilizations and criminalizing sexuality and mental health well past the founding of the Communist Party of China (and still do in more subtle ways)

• like the US didn’t conduct state terrorism on Black people, leftists, lgbtqia, Japanese, feminists, environmentalists… up to concentration camps, assassinations, bombing of entire apartment complexes
