boy oh boy sure am glad that during this crisis I get to experience Capitalist Plenty
and not Socialist Deprivation
rlly makes u think
hahahahahaha!!!!!!!! 50 years on and Vietnam is still beating America’s ass !!!!!!!!!!
uh huh
You know how china lies?
Vietnam does the same shit.
I live in vietnam and the number is actually that low lmao vietnam has closed down schools and universities and started online learning since feb. they have praticed social distancing and lock down for 20 days now. The government literally spent billions to put tourists in quarantine for free to health check them everyday for fourteen days to make sure community spread doesn’t happen. They’re willing to risk the economy as long as the people are safe. Like you do know vietnamese people have access to the internet right???
Population differences you people, America has significantly more people total
wow you’re such a genius, if only there were statistics for the number of cases per million people so we could scale it to population size, such as here:
can any mathematicians tell us whether 3 or 3,379 is the larger number? can any number wizards help us out on that one
The lengths that people go to to try and force the idea that the us is great are just astounding really
yeah living in abject poverty in a hellacious fascist police state sounds so nice
extremely not-at-all biased sources like Human Rights Watch
look, if you’re interested in actually learning about Vietnam, feel free to listen to what Vietnamese people say (both in the following video and in the comments of this very post)
How much longer until the utopic Solarpunk future where Capitalism is dead and we all live in ecologically sustainable high-tech forest cities? Asking for a friend.
Until we make those ecologically sustainable high-tech forest cities ourselves. It’s going to take a lot of us to do it though, so best to spread the word (and gather native tree seeds).
And, like, get started now. Then our “weirdo houses” will be the only thing functioning when everything falls apart!
The only reason why we don’t live in a solarpunk world right now is because no one has bothered to make it yet.
We’ll have to make it ourselves, and we’ll have to help each other make it. That’s why it is solarpunk.
