I love all the genuine news we saw on Hexbear and ML about the parade and meetings...their outcomes, analysis of military capabilities, comparisons between this parade and other recent ones...genuine real information and news.
And then over here on lemmy dot zip we get "ZOMG EVIL SISSYPEE LEADER WANTS TO BE IMMORTAL?" Like first off how is that news. Second off it makes complete sense for 2 world leaders to be talking about their countries advancements in science. The fear mongering is comical especially alongside the complete lack of any actual real news about it being posted here.
This comm is like the tabloid section of a magazine stand and it's hilarious
Literally post above this one is China displays its military strength in a parade on the 80th anniversary of the end of WWII...
Not what it looks like on our end
The "pov you're a liberal" juxtaposed with this post is just 
Blame the algorithm
Look, you do see how literally anyone could have a conversation about modern medicine leading to longer lifespans, right? Y'all are only making a big deal about it because it's the two people you hate the most talking about it. The "journalist" reporting it like this is disingenuous at best, so when you shared it here, as if it was news, that makes you look bad. You get that, right?
- When two autocrats that have immense power talk about it it has a bit different meaning than two random people on the street.
- I disagree with some of Xi's policies, but I don't hate him. On the other hand, war crimial Putin belongs in jail.
- Where did you see it being reported as "disingenuous"? As the article mentioned it was " <...> providing a rare glimpse into a candid conversation usually hidden from public view.".
- I post what I find interesting, not what someone else thinks I should post. This community is built around not censoring any point of view, no matter how it makes someone else feel. From one extreme to the other extreme and everything in between is allowed here and people can decide for themselves what to think and how to interpret the news.
It's disingenuous because it's not news. It's conflating a benign conversation as scandalous simply because of who's doing the talking. You going to post their coffee order next?
Lets agree to disagree. Just because you read it as scandalous doesn't mean everyone else is.
That's pretty much exactly the topic of conversation I would have expected when two megalomaniacs meet.
We need better safeguards against the mentally ill taking and holding power in our countries.
These types of mental illness (addiction to power, money, status) naturally lead towards positions of power. If we don't actively prevent it from happening, we will always be controlled by malignant megalomaniacs.
Bring back sortition.
These positions are pursued by these kinds of people specifically because they reward those kinds of behaviours. I'd even argue it's required to seek power, money, and status in order to climb the political ladder.
lol
Those cunts need a bullet to the face.
Face/Off
Pull on the new flesh like borrowed gloves and burn your fingers once again.
Xi knows all about organ transplants.
its as if it's an attempt to one up the depravity of the west to make themselves seem worse
Lil baby dessalines’ ban finger gonna get a workout
