I think most of my friends and even acquaintances would rush me to a hospital.
I think more than 50% of the people I know would do that.

Regarding genuinely good and trusting my life, that would would be smaller.

A question on the other view tho:
Would you(not OP only) be that genuinely good person for someone? As a guess, in your view how many people would see you like that?

I think only my family and maybe close friends would see me like that.

Regarding getting people to a hospital, I think the 50% stuff would apply to me too.

Aah.
Is there something like the automod feature in reddit?
That would be solution to common misconceptions, right?

Aah. Sorry.
I was a bit wary since I got banned in a .world community when I shared similar pov’s. I think there are some who equate Stalin to Hitler, so was trying to avoid needless fights on that.

I’m in the KL state.

Famines are never going to be pretty, right?
I have seen pictures online of the Bengal and Mangalore famines that India suffered under British rule.

My doubt on it is how much of it is natural and how much is intentional.
What do those historians say about that?

I have seen people arguing and discussing about it online, with everything ranging from intentional punishment to bureaucratic inefficiency to feudal farmlords burning their produce and animals during the famine to how famines were common in the region until the 1950’s and also mentions of grain export

Also, which part of India, if you don’t mind?

Southern India
Are you Indian too? Which part?

Overall positive.

I’ve heard that he supported the development of India. As an Indian, positive view here.

After joining lemmy, seeing arguments about him, got to know that he faced personal losses too, with his son, a soldier in the WW2, dying in a Nazi concentration camp as a PoW.

Have read that there were purges of officials and repression in fear of Nazi and other spies and that excesses did happen under his govt.
But considering how they were able to reduce poverty and were able to industrialise their nation, making them able to fight the Nazis, I see them overall positively.

Have heard about the famine too. But not sure if it was purposeful like how Churchill took away foodgrains from Bengal. So negative view on it, but not sure how to see it. Whether it is intentional or natural cause or inefficiency.

How do you feel about Hitler?

Isn’t lemmy.world very very USA-centric? And they are keen on name calling you as a tankie if you mention things that do not go along with their view.

I was banned from a community there, because I mentioned the Munich agreement and shared my view opposing what the community had in a discussion that centred around the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact.

Time to make accounts in lemmy.ml

I don’t think they are that dogmatic too.
Like, they seem to support China lead by a Socialist/Communist/Marxist political leadership, that declares its aim as transitioning into socialism by 2050 or so.

Is ‘Wet behind the ears’ a comparison to a newborn baby?

Cool
How is it?

Create an account in that instance and set default sort to local?

I got 3 dm’s or so too. Is it some social experiment?

Have you invited people to the fediverse?

Some mashup song that combines 5-6 songs

Leftist and awareness programme content

Like, smoking/tobacco is an issue in my country, India.
We had ‘The lung is like a sponge’ awareness short playing before movies and also testimonials of folk who chewed tobacco. Together with stricter enforcement of anti-public smoking laws, I think smoking has reduced a lot.

YT channels

I think you can get rss feeds for them
https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id<channel_id>
The channel link has the <channel_id>

e.g.

Isn’t 1984 a fictional book?

Have heard people say online that Inventing Reality and Manufactured Consent are better than that for analysis.

Haven’t read any of those books tho.
Which would be better?

Any free/open online crash courses on it?

Will do that.

Thank you. Your reading list and the resources from Dessalines that you shared are quite cool.

Not a Chinese person, and I don’t really know much about their style, but if random guesses are ok:

It may have been turned off, due to the risk that politically motivated actors may use it to print out something and then use it for propaganda, saying that a Chinese AI has exposed the CPC n all?

Especially since the U S is a trade war with them and there has been usage of genocide propaganda^* against them?
* - Considering that the same people have no similar level of concern about Gaza

I think you should ask in some Chinese community. If not, maybe most of the answers would be similar to mine, guesses, which will mostly be our views rather than the fact whether the average Chinese person has info on their leaders.

Thank you

I’m from Kerala, India. We do have communist parties here. The Left front govt, with very significant communist party presence was elected into power here.

Searching for their content on youtube, I see that they do discuss the theoretical aspects. I think the parties here are focused more on the praxis aspect and only teach the Marxist ideology to party members and not supporters or people in associated orgs. The local elders in my area seeg

Internet searches are tricky, since non-English content is relatively less indexed/recommended. Have found some websites of theirs tho, like Chintha.in
If you know any resources related to Kerala/India, please do share them
