placing it near Poland
and well above the US, France and Japan
per capita consumption mix is probably a more useful comparison
https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/per-capita-energy-source-stackedI’d really like to see a graph with per GDP energy consumption mix as well. Most of the countries with better mix than China have a fraction of the GDP.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_renewable_electricity_production
China is in first place with 32% of global renewable electricity production. They have built more solar capacity than the rest of the world has ever had installed in one year. No other countries are anywhere close to the green acceleration they have purposefully spearheaded for themselves and the world.
it’s the comforting blanket of propaganda they run to when exposed to historical materialist analysis
Either you have zero actual political awareness or you are just a weak troll. The vast majority of dems are terrible too. It is mostly political theatre in service to the status quo. Actual leftism begins with anti-capitalism.
In case you are just completely ignorant, here is a video that might help you out.
This shit has been majorly cooked for a long time.
If you are paying taxes, you support it whether you wish to or not. Don’t you love living in great democracy?
It is just different levels of specificity really. I found the meme and didn’t think to edit it. I think terrorist would be applicable especially for the pager attack, Doha strike on negotiators, attacks of Iranian scientists, etc. Maybe you should look up the Mossad use of terrorism if you are not aware.

“They’re always looking to come up with a number bigger than six million,” observed Eli Rosenbaum, general counsel for the World Jewish Congress. “It makes the reader think: ‘My god, it’s worse than the Holocaust.’ ”
Your husband’s courage and dedication to liberty will serve as a continuing source of inspiration to all those striving for freedom and self-determination. — Letter from President Reagan to the widow of Yaroslav Stetsko, ranking OUN terrorist, murderer, and Nazi collaborator, read by retired general John Singlaub at a conference of the World Anti-Communist League, September 7, 1986
Just as the Nazis used the OUN for their own ends, so has Reagan exploited the famine, from his purple-prosed commemoration of “this callous act” to his backing of the Mace commission. Faced with failing fascist allies around the world, from Nicaragua to South Africa, the U.S. war lobby needs to boost anti-Communism as never before. Public enthusiasm to fight for the contras will not come easy. But if people could be convinced that Communism is worse than fascism; that Stalin was an insane monster, even worse than Hitler; that the seven million died in more unspeakable agony than the six million …. Well, we just might be set up for the next Gulf of Tonkin. One cannot appease an Evil Empire, after all.
Zelensky won his office on a peace platform with most support coming from the ethnic Russians of eastern Ukraine. The western Ukrainians voted against him. He then betrayed the east by allowing AZOV to carry on a campaign of ethnic cleansing of the Donbass.

Seventy-six percent of those who live in western Ukraine have a positive opinion towards Bandera, the poll indicates. (2014)
Gareth Jones’s accounts of what was happening in Soviet Ukraine in 1932-33 were different from other western accounts. Not only did he reveal the true extent of starvation, he reported on the Stalin regime’s failure to deliver aid while exporting grain to the west. The tragedy is now known as the Holodomar and regarded by Ukrainians as genocide.
Jones was the only journalist who risked his name and reputation to expose the Holodomor to the world.
For example, he was once on a 16-seat aircraft with the new German chancellor, Adolph Hitler, and Joseph Goebbels, on their way to a rally in Frankfurt.
This was about a month before the “Terror Famine” propaganda story was published in Hearst-owned newspapers.
He managed to get an interview with a local castle owner: William Randolph Hearst who owned St Donat’s Castle near Cardiff. The newspaper magnate was obviously taken by Jones’s accounts of what had happened in Ukraine and invited the reporter to the US.
Jones dutifully arrived at Hearst’s private station – as Chico Marx was leaving the estate – and wrote three articles for Hearst and used, for the first time, the phrase “manmade famine”.
A few bits about Hearst: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Randolph_Hearst
He was at once a militant nationalist, a staunch anti-communist after the Russian Revolution, and deeply suspicious of the League of Nations and of the British, French, Japanese, and Russians.[2] Following Hitler’s rise to power, Hearst became a supporter of the Nazi Party, ordering his journalists to publish favourable coverage of Nazi Germany, and allowing leading Nazis to publish articles in his newspapers.[3]
With “AMERICA FIRST” emblazoned on his newspaper masthead, Hearst celebrated the “great achievement” of the new Nazi regime in Germany—a lesson to all “liberty-loving people”—the defeat of communism. In 1934, after checking with Jewish leaders to ensure a visit would be to their benefit,[57] Hearst visited Berlin to interview Adolf Hitler. When Hitler asked why he was so misunderstood by the American press, Hearst retorted: “Because Americans believe in democracy, and are averse to dictatorship.”[58] William Randolph Hearst instructed his reporters in Germany to give positive coverage of the Nazis, and fired journalists who refused to write stories favourable of German fascism.[3] Hearst’s papers ran columns without rebuttal by Nazi leader Hermann Göring, Alfred Rosenberg,[3] and Hitler himself, as well as Mussolini and other dictators in Europe and Latin America.[59] During that same year 1934, Japan / U.S. relations were unstable. In an attempt to remedy this, Prince Tokugawa Iesato travelled throughout the United States on a goodwill visit. During his visit, Prince Iesato and his delegation met with William Randolph Hearst with the hope of improving mutual understanding between the two nations.
And don’t forget about the CIA supported Banderite that created a publishing house in NYC to spread more propaganda.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mykola_Lebed
Thanks to his collaboration with the CIA and their active shielding of him, Lebed was never tried for the war crimes he and his men had committed against Poles and Jews during WWII.
https://www.muckrock.com/news/archives/2018/sep/18/mykola-lebed-and-the-cia/
The CIA facilitated Lebed’s move to the US, getting asylum for him and his family in 1949 and helping him obtain citizenship in 1957. As head of a CIA operation called Project AERODYNAMIC, Lebed spent the next few decades in control of a Agency-funded non-profit publishing company, the Prolog Research and Publishing Association.
Prolog Research and Publishing went on to promote lots of anti-Soviet propaganda, including popularizing the ‘terror famine’ rhetoric. Many of the biased sources discussed in the Village Voice article can trace their claims back to Lebed’s publishing.
Seventy-six percent of those who live in western Ukraine have a positive opinion towards Bandera, the poll indicates.
The situation in the southern and eastern regions, except Donbass, is: 15% and 8% are pro-Bandera, and 69%-70% are negative, with, 14% and 18% respectively undecided.
In Donbass, 79% of those polled have a negative attitude to Bandera, 3% positive and 2% are undecided.

Liberalism is pro-capitalism, so “liberals” and “conservatives” are both just different flavors of the same liberalism in the US.
There isn’t any policy that I’m aware of, I usually post to lemmy when I want to spread a meme more beyond hexbear (since a lot of Lemmyverse blocks or hides us). There was a brief period of uncertainty about Luigi initially, but it has turned out to be quite effective “propaganda of the deed”, like a modern John Brown in certain respects.
How’d genocidal fascists end up in my anti-tankie meme?!?! It’s so completely irrelevant that I must terminate all thought of this kind immediately.
During the Syrian civil war, a Chinese hostage was murdered by the Islamic State, which claimed its desire to fight against China over Xinjiang.[319] These militants are also very active in Syria, mostly Idlib, where it formed to be one of the most radical fighting groups in the conflict, which prompted China to take cautious reactions.[320][321]
A number of Uyghur militants have been recruited by ISIS[322][323] and have had a presence in Southeast Asia, with some joining Mujahidin Indonesia Timor.[324]
Some nice context for the confused here.
we are in the right in both instances
playing both sides isn’t being right tho
