dastanktal@lemmy.mlto China@sopuli.xyz•China faces draft dilemma as youth reject military conscription1·7 hours agoI mean could one argue the same thing about Chinese conscription? If they paid better do you think that would possibly fix issues they have?
You mentioned something about something about CCP being unpopular in China? But even if they’re unpopular if they pay well wouldn’t people still do it if it’s an option?
Edit:
Regardless thank you for having an actual conversation with me about this instead of making major assumptions based on the instance I’m on 🤙
dastanktal@lemmy.mlto China@sopuli.xyz•China faces draft dilemma as youth reject military conscription1·7 hours agoIt could be that it may not really be an issue in China right now past that they’re not able to maintain military numbers. I mean it’s been an issue in the United States where we even struggling to maintain the proper number of people in our military because we’re unable to attract them.
I’m not discounting been trying to seems to be having some issues only that these issues seem to be kind of Universal at the moment

Do as we tell you or we will let the proxies carve you into pieces.
dastanktal@lemmy.mlOPto news@hexbear.net•Union Bureaucracy Ends Three-Week Colorado Safeway StrikeEnglish2·13 hours agoI really appreciate this extra context.
You’re right. The Safeway Union fought hard for the gains that they did get and we should be proud that they were able to extract any concessions in the Imperial core.
It sucks they didn’t get better than what they did get but the fact they were able to extract anything is better than most workers in the United States get anyway.
I really appreciate you highlighting the specific points of where they were trying to twist and hide things. That’ll make it a lot easier for me and hopefully others to identify these type of things in the future.
dastanktal@lemmy.mlOPto news@hexbear.net•Union Bureaucracy Ends Three-Week Colorado Safeway StrikeEnglish2·14 hours agoCompletely Fair. I’ll keep these things in mind in the future as I read this publication. Thanks for the Insight comrade
dastanktal@lemmy.mlto China@sopuli.xyz•China faces draft dilemma as youth reject military conscription12·14 hours agoPropaganda is propaganda regardless of the fallacies being engaged 🤷
Furthermore just because an argument utilizes a logical fallacy does not invalidate the argument since in context fallacies can be appropriate to use.
It’s also entirely fair to make comparisons to the United States and note that the United States and many of their NATO allies also have these problems.

dastanktal@lemmy.mlto WorldNews@lemmy.sdf.org•China faces draft dilemma as youth reject military conscription32·14 hours agoMan it feels like this article could have been written about the United States itself.
The conscription stuff is kind of unique except that multiple countries in NATO also use conscription so 🤷
This feels like it’s straight up came from an article about the United States military:
For idealistic youth once drawn by patriotic fervour, the realization is sobering: they are entering not a dignified profession, but an institution hollowed out by greed and favouritism.
Veterans’ post-service struggles only deepen the discontent. Many return to civilian life underemployed, disillusioned, and ignored.
Aren’t these also major major problems in European militaries?

dastanktal@lemmy.mlto News@lemmy.world•New York’s Financial Crowd Rushes to Build Anti-Mamdani War Chest4·14 hours agoI mean they were already doing that in the primary. I expected to get worse like you mentioned.
It doesn’t seem like a whole lot of people are falling for this type of rhetoric though.
dastanktal@lemmy.mlOPto news@hexbear.net•Union Bureaucracy Ends Three-Week Colorado Safeway StrikeEnglish4·14 hours agoThat’s a very interesting viewpoint.
I thought this type of publication would have a lot of Trust behind it because it’s supposedly focuses on worker rights And it’s supposed to be anti-capitalist in nature.
We have seen times where unions did work with companies and screwed their constituents out of a good deal. Unions don’t always work for the betterment of everybody since they are susceptible to Elite capture.
dastanktal@lemmy.mltoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•Three guesses who 'they' are...English11·15 hours agoSo why make a comment about voter turnout when voter turnout has never been good in a country where the government does not represent the will of the people.
Good luck trying to get all the apathetic people who have been screwed so so much by the system that won’t help them to vote.
That’s for sure going to be easier than talking to people about the reason why our system sucks and building a new one. 🤙
Honestly one of the best Replacements I’ve seen yet
Yeah there’s like a whole documentary about this on YouTube. They even interview this person.
It was really fascinating but as noted in the Wikipedia article it’s not really accepted in any modern publication nowadays so it’s all been but retired
Feels like gassing adhders up.
Fun but not accurate.

dastanktal@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.world•Air India Boeing 787 crash report says fuel switches cut offEnglish1·24 hours agoI’m American dipshit.
I just find your characterization of these Pilots super disrespectful Which is my primary reason for objecting.
There’s a million other explanations other than suicide.
Maybe you should read something other than all Rags whipping everybody up and thinking it’s a pilot suicide and wait and see to what the NTSB actually has to say about this crash since this was a mandated report by ICAO.
Many people thought Air France flight 447 was caused my pilot suicide but it turned out to be caused by a massive amount of confusion through Frozen pito tubes.
It’s entirely too early to be this speculative.
This is the best recommendation for a phone I’ve seen yet.
Thanks catalonian police
