Then why even make your initial comment? You are trying to silence someone who is speaking out against racism, you are enabling racism and thus are one as well. You could've easily blocked me and moved on but instead chose to carry water for a bigot, I would rather be a principled "idiot" than a coward defending racist "jokes"
Because I consider carceral or capital punishment appropriate for crimes resulting in death? Sorry dronie, corporations include fines in their annual budget that does nothing to change their practices.
another loss for the market place of ideas đ
Yes, executing a businesses person that chooses to kill children to make more money is the objectively correct outcome. Or would you rather they just get a miniscule fine, tell me how much is a baby worth?
aw the poor little dronie just had his world view questioned, i get paid by the post and you just get riled.
Provide proof of your claims, I notice you are .it maybe you should be more concerned with Italian botulism than Chinese food safety.

The United States and U.K are developed countries just as Japan, China, and India. Why is my comparison inaccurate? Facts don't care about your feelings.
Disgusting under reaction to a racist joke
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2009/nov/24/china-executes-milk-scandal-pair
China executed a dairy farmer and a milk salesman today for their role in a tainted infant formula scandal in which at least six children died and 300,000 were made ill, state media said.
Nineteen others have been jailed since January in connection with the case, which involved deliberately contaminating milk with melamine, a chemical used in manufacturing plastics and fertilisers. It resulted in product recalls around the world and caused outrage in China, particularly when details of a cover-up emerged.

On February 15, 2023, Business Insider reported that Similacâs manufacturer, Abbott, could face criminal penalties of up to $500,000 for each offense as the Department of Justice probes the factory conditions that led to a nationwide baby food shortage.
Nice try racist, bet you didn't even know that this happens regularly in the west.
CDC estimates 48 million people get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized, and 3,000 die from foodborne diseases each year in the United States. CDC provides estimates for two major groups of foodborne illnesses â known pathogens and unspecified agents.
We estimate that there are 180 deaths per year in the UK (95% CrI 113 to 359) caused by foodborne disease based on these 11 pathogens. While this is a small fraction of the estimated 2.4âmillion cases of foodborne illness per year it still illustrates the potential severity of these illnesses demonstrating the importance in continuing efforts to reduce these infections.

Compared to China:
From 2002 to 2017, China reported 2815 outbreaks caused by foodborne diseases related to meat and meat products, resulting in 52,122 illnesses and 25,361 hospitalizations, and 96 deaths.
you should ask that question on the AMA
10,000,000 died due to communism
If you were repeating this CIA propaganda in 1933 that would be one thing. However repeating it 90 years later, after we know it's bullshit, well that takes a special kind of stooge.
Aw, the cute little dronie has nothing to say. Maybe you'll win the lottery some day and cease to be a temporarily embarrassed millionaire. Then you can have your own subjects to lord over rather than being a modern-day serf whose anger is channeled into racism.
there is this site called reddit that is certified tankie-free, sadly there are too many dronies on lemmy now
wrong, the kulaks were responible for the deaths of millions of Ukrainians
All governments are Authoritarian, I'm still waiting for proof that Russia is doing anything of the sort (no, rescuing orphans from war-torn cities is not mass deportations of children it is humanitarian aid, many such cases exist around the world of NATO aligned countries doing the exact same thing).
There is a history of evidence of the Donbass bombing before the SMO, and that was a targeted attempt to ethnically cleanse a region, however this was perpetrated by the Azov nazis. The classification of the Uyghurs as a genocide has been disputed by many Islamic countries, as well as the UN itself.
What country has systemic and codified apartheid? Strange claim to make, lol
If these "cities" exist which are claimed to have imprisoned millions of people where are the photos?
Do you realize how much physical space that many people takes up in addition to supplying them?
"The five-day visit took place last week and included envoys from countries including Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Yemen and Pakistan. The >delegation visited the provincial capital Urumqi in addition to Kashgar and Aksu prefectures. They were met by Ma Xingrui, secretary of the >Party Committee of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.
A spokesperson for theFforeign Ministry, Hua Chunying said the diplomats visited mosques, Islamic schools, museums, old city renovation, >grassroots communities, technology enterprises, green development and rural revitalisation projects.
âMembers of the delegation expressed that the Chinese government adheres to the people-centred approach and has made great >achievements in promoting the governance and development of Xinjiang,â she said." Algeriaâs Ambassador to China, Hassane Rabehi, was quoted by local media as saying, âThe fruit here is so sweet, just like the life of the >people hereâ, adding that he got to know the âreal situationâ of Xinjiang, where the rights of people of all ethnic groups are well protected, >said reports.
Following the event, a press release by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that envoys expressed that âfreedom of religious belief and >various rights of Muslims are duly guaranteed.â And that what the delegation saw and heard along the way âis completely different from what >some Western media reported.â
Per https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/middle-east-monitor/
"MEMO generally supports Islamist positions" "the Middle East Monitor promotes a strongly pro-Muslim Brotherhood and pro-Hamas viewpoint" " We could not find any instances of the Middle East Monitor failing fact checks"
The source in this article is a direct quote from government officials both China and from the countries that sent the delegates. If in fact there was a "genocide" I would expect a "pro-Muslim" news outlet to agree with what western media is spouting.
Does this pass your legitimacy test? If not, why?
So explain to me how Russia is dumb for successfully taking and holding, Crimea and the Donbass?
Are they dumb for reacting to a line they have drawn multiple times? Are they dumb for preventing Ukranian nazis from bombarding anyone suspected of being Russian for years?
Canada is now applauding Nazis while Russia burned them alive under Mariupol, are they dumb for doing that?
Is any other country that has created a warzone for geopolitical reasons, "dumb"? I would say any country that is a warmonger is evil, thankfully the country that pays me to post is peaceful.
In addition, they have successfully decoupled their economy from the west while the European industrial complex has weakened to the point they are now serfs to the Great Satan.
what does this even mean?
Are you complaining that orphans in an active warzone were relocated?
No it is citing another article which is entirely based on a nebulous trove of leaked documents that has no "person" that is "saying" any of this. No effort to provide these documents for validation at all. Radio Free Asia is an Adrian Zenz rag that has been proven to fabricate evidence, use terrible research methods, and is nothing more than a moutepiece for a racist, antisemitie, Christian Fascist.
Lavrov brought up the accusations of mass executions in the Ukrainian city Bucha, largely considered to have been the result of war crimes by Russian forces, and said Russia had asked to receive a list of the last names of those shown in pictures throughout the world in an attempt to discredit the accusations.
He called it "something quite simple" to be provided with, adding that there has been no proof provided that Russia has been involved.
"All the children that ended up in Russia unaccompanied by guardians, that list is openly available, unlike the names of the bodies in Bucha," Lavrov said, adding, "If those families are found, we will assist in reunification."
Lavrov claimed that "the vast majority" of children taken to Russia were living in orphanages, failing to address how that makes a difference in their being taken.
"When the special military operation began, of course we took them to safety. But we never tried to conceal the names of these children, which we took out of the country," Lavrov claimed.
"We continue to invite these parents, if they are out there, to come and collect their children. You can come and travel to these children yourselves."
Dronies wanting children to die in a warzone rather than be moved to safety.
Dronies cry about Bucha which has been debunked, yet are silent on the bombardment of the Donbass that is proven.
Maybe if Ukraine didn't use human wave tactics or accepted the peace deal after Bucha (Russia withdrew from Bucha as part of peace negotiations before the mass executions even took place, while there is multiple first hand source video evidence of Ukranian military shooting anyone they suspected of being Russian, a collaborator, or refusing to be conscripted) there wouldn't be so many orphans left to die by NATO
Imagine banning me twice for spamming
When you just can't criticism on the myriad of issues the influx of redditors wrought.
a reminder:
We stand for active ideological struggle because it is the weapon for ensuring unity within the Party and the revolutionary organizations in the interest of our fight. Every Communist and revolutionary should take up this weapon.
But liberalism rejects ideological struggle and stands for unprincipled peace, thus giving rise to a decadent, Philistine attitude and bringing about political degeneration in certain units and individuals in the Party and the revolutionary organizations.
Liberalism manifests itself in various ways.
To let things slide for the sake of peace and friendship when a person has clearly gone wrong, and refrain from principled argument because he is an old acquaintance, a fellow townsman, a schoolmate, a close friend, a loved one, an old colleague or old subordinate. Or to touch on the matter lightly instead of going into it thoroughly, so as to keep on good terms. The result is that both the organization and the individual are harmed. This is one type of liberalism.
To indulge in irresponsible criticism in private instead of actively putting forward one's suggestions to the organization. To say nothing to people to their faces but to gossip behind their backs, or to say nothing at a meeting but to gossip afterwards. To show no regard at all for the principles of collective life but to follow one's own inclination. This is a second type.
To let things drift if they do not affect one personally; to say as little as possible while knowing perfectly well what is wrong, to be worldly wise and play safe and seek only to avoid blame. This is a third type.
Not to obey orders but to give pride of place to one's own opinions. To demand special consideration from the organization but to reject its discipline. This is a fourth type.
To indulge in personal attacks, pick quarrels, vent personal spite or seek revenge instead of entering into an argument and struggling against incorrect views for the sake of unity or progress or getting the work done properly. This is a fifth type.
To hear incorrect views without rebutting them and even to hear counter-revolutionary remarks without reporting them, but instead to take them calmly as if nothing had happened. This is a sixth type.
To be among the masses and fail to conduct propaganda and agitation or speak at meetings or conduct investigations and inquiries among them, and instead to be indifferent to them and show no concern for their well-being, forgetting that one is a Communist and behaving as if one were an ordinary non-Communist. This is a seventh type.
To see someone harming the interests of the masses and yet not feel indignant, or dissuade or stop him or reason with him, but to allow him to continue. This is an eighth type.
To work half-heartedly without a definite plan or direction; to work perfunctorily and muddle along--"So long as one remains a monk, one goes on tolling the bell." This is a ninth type.
To regard oneself as having rendered great service to the revolution, to pride oneself on being a veteran, to disdain minor assignments while being quite unequal to major tasks, to be slipshod in work and slack in study. This is a tenth type.
To be aware of one's own mistakes and yet make no attempt to correct them, taking a liberal attitude towards oneself. This is an eleventh type.
We could name more. But these eleven are the principal types.
They are all manifestations of liberalism.
Liberalism is extremely harmful in a revolutionary collective. It is a corrosive which eats away unity, undermines cohesion, causes apathy and creates dissension. It robs the revolutionary ranks of compact organization and strict discipline, prevents policies from being carried through and alienates the Party organizations from the masses which the Party leads. It is an extremely bad tendency.
Liberalism stems from petty-bourgeois selfishness, it places personal interests first and the interests of the revolution second, and this gives rise to ideological, political and organizational liberalism.
People who are liberals look upon the principles of Marxism as abstract dogma. They approve of Marxism, but are not prepared to practice it or to practice it in full; they are not prepared to replace their liberalism by Marxism. These people have their Marxism, but they have their liberalism as well--they talk Marxism but practice liberalism; they apply Marxism to others but liberalism to themselves. They keep both kinds of goods in stock and find a use for each. This is how the minds of certain people work.
Liberalism is a manifestation of opportunism and conflicts fundamentally with Marxism. It is negative and objectively has the effect of helping the enemy; that is why the enemy welcomes its preservation in our midst. Such being its nature, there should be no place for it in the ranks of the revolution.
We must use Marxism, which is positive in spirit, to overcome liberalism, which is negative. A Communist should have largeness of mind and he should be staunch and active, looking upon the interests of the revolution as his very life and subordinating his personal interests to those of the revolution; always and everywhere he should adhere to principle and wage a tireless struggle against all incorrect ideas and actions, so as to consolidate the collective life of the Party and strengthen the ties between the Party and the masses; he should be more concerned about the Party and the masses than about any private person, and more concerned about others than about himself. Only thus can he be considered a Communist.
All loyal, honest, active and upright Communists must unite to oppose the liberal tendencies shown by certain people among us, and set them on the right path. This is one of the tasks on our ideological front.
