You're not up to your challenge

For your past is stained with shame

And the rifles of heroes have spoken;

Never, never to America!

To be fair, it would make sense to divide megalopolises from large rural areas to create more proportional states for a functioning and equally representative democracy (as in a council/soviet democracy (or other forms of the dictatorship of the proletariat), not the plutocracy of the US). Beijing has a population of 21.9 million, while Wisconsin has a population of 5.9 million, so even as a city, Beijing is much larger than Wisconsin. It's an imperfect analogy not because Beijing is a city, but because Beijing is much bigger than Wisconsin, so in this regard, I would consider the analogy close enough.

Not a brand, though this answer will not help if you or someone else needs new clothes, but surviving with the clothes you already have and limiting your funds to support potentially genocide-supportive brands as well as limiting money circulating in one's imperialist country is an act of protest and is something to keep in mind if the option is available.

This option works for me because I kept so many clothes my family and friends gave me over many years, continue to wear the same few set of clothes until they are in shreds, and continue to use them for dirty work clothes and/or make plans to turn my old graphic tees into a blanket or curtain. I probably should get rid of clothes, but I kept them because they helped me save money. I am a bit of a hoarder, which is influenced by my poor upbringing.

Also buying second-hand stops money going directly to the businesses that made said products, and I always try to find anything I want or need to buy used, whether on eBay, at a thrift store, at a garage sale, from a friend, etc. first before resorting to buying it new.

I typically buy clothes at my local thrift store, especially if my work clothes rip or a zipper breaks. My mother has helped me sew some of my work clothes when I was really busy and really didn't want to purchase more clothes.

Socko just needs to work on being a better comrade.

I agree. Keep in mind anything I post I may or may not agree with, and I am always willing to change my mind with feedback I get from here. I post things here because I am interested in listening to discussion.

I'd pick Valve over most game companies, but they are still a company, and I predict Valve will become worse over time unless they are bought or go under as the tendencies of capitalism lead toward greater monopolization. I have accepted that everything that I like and was produced in a capitalist system will be rotten and spoiled eventually.

I was going to create responses in a text file anyway just in case. Thank you for letting me know. If I ever have the time, I would be interested in contributing to the website with my programming skills.

I plan on creating responses for the questions to make an account eventually. I do long for working with a more principled and organized "party" than my own.

Doing a GPU passthrough or a single GPU passthrough if you have the hardware to do so. VM obfuscation is also handy but can still be risky for kernel-level anti-cheat games, so I don't recommend doing so to avoid anti-cheat. I like using QEMU and libvirt with virt-manager.

Yeah I agree. It's pretty sus.

I had lost my cool in this comment, but I edited now because I was inspired by your comment. Thank you. I should try to remain a compassionate and patient comrade.

What do you think of Xi, one of the richest man in China? Is it okay that he’s so wealthy when other people go hungry? Or is inequality only not okay in western countries?

In the 2023 Global Hunger Index, China is one of 20 countries with a GHI score of less than 5. These countries are not assigned individual ranks, but rather are collectively ranked 1–20 out of the 125 countries with sufficient data to calculate 2023 GHI scores. Differences between their scores are minimal. With a score under 5, China has a level of hunger that is low.

Dietary habits in China have undergone profound changes in the past decade. Since the Economic Reform, the average disposable income has picked up rapidly, which led to a surge in food spending in both urban and rural households. Over the past four decades, China has drastically reduced its proportion of undernourished people, from 30 percent in 1979 to less than 2.5 percent. Today, meat and fish, once considered symbols of wealth, are part of the daily diet of ordinary people. Additionally, similar to its western counterparts, China's emerging middle class has become increasingly conscious of the importance of a healthy diet.

What Chinese eat and drink

The rapid economic development of China and its well-developed transportation infrastructure have allowed Chinese to purchase food of all types from all over the country. As of 2021, nearly nine out of ten Chinese could afford a healthy meal. On Chinese dining tables, grain still dominates, but meat, vegetables, and fruits are gaining popularity. Between 2021 and 2026, China's protein intake is expected to grow by over 10 percent, significantly higher than any other region of the world.

Although undernourishment is no longer a threat to the public in China, a fully healthy diet is still a long way off. A major eating problem affecting the public is excessive consumption of sugar and salt. As of 2023, China's per capita salt intake exceeded 17.7 grams per day, more than three times the amount recommended by the WHO. A primary reason for the excessive salt intake was the dietary tradition of eating sauce, preserved vegetables, and cured meats. Furthermore, sodium intake was also influenced by the increasing consumption of restaurant and packaged foods.

Towards a healthier eating environment

Facing those challenges, China has implemented various campaigns and promotions to raise public’s awareness of healthy eating, including establishing a national nutrition plan. Traditional concepts like Yin and Yang, "food and medicine are synonymous" are still widely believed by the majority of Chinese, but many Chinese are embracing modern dietary knowledge such as organic and sugar-free diets. In 2022, over 55,000 organic products were available to Chinese consumers, tripling from a decade ago. It is estimated that the naturally healthy food market in China will grow by 10 billion U.S. dollars between 2016 and 2021, outpacing the rest of the world by a wide margin.

It literally took two seconds to research this online, and I found many sources that contradict your claim, even by Western outlets.

I recommend watching this video:

How can China be socialist if it has a stock market? Understanding the Chinese economy

This is an article from this video:

China’s 5 most affluent billionaires lose $3.1B in collective net worth

Also, the US and Isn'trael were the only nations that voted against a United Nations committee's draft that asserted food was a human right:

I made a lib troll rage quit. 🤣
