Interestingly I've seen a strong pro-Israel bias, particularly on the larger subreddits (like the default ones). Some of the smaller ones do seem to have a pro-Palestine (or pro-civilian) outlook but nothing that I would describe as "strongly anti-Israel"

you should look at the r/palestine if you want see manifestation of hatred. or any heavily left leaning subs.

because lockdowns destroyed a lot of political goodwill and have ruined a generation of children? climate change is overblown and we wont see any actual major effects for another century.

climate change believers really are just an apocalyptic cult at this point. it defies reality

there are many other, actual issues that should be addressed. housing shortages, mass illegal immigration, inflation, geriatric politicians, corruption, education, environmental protection from chemicals and other toxins, deforestation, pollution in general etc etc

climate change isn't even close to whats important. but because it has had no actual effects, and the real effects are a century away, its easy for people to posture without committing to an actual solution. there are other issues that should be addressed that people are forgetting about. its a joke

I think that prepper scenario is way more likely in a «I got mine, screw you» society like the US. All the countries you list have their issues, but their base level of societal egalitarism is orders of magnitude higher.

I would not be surprised if the US is one of the few countries to end up like Mad Max if the world order should fully collapse due to climate change or other large scale events.

except prepping mostly isn't "I got mine, screw you" but "I need to protect myself and my family". even then, US society isn't even "I got mine, screw you". I don't understand where that even came from because its not even close to true. maybe europeans thinking they're somehow more collectivist even though I've found Americans to be far more friendly and collectivist than europeans.

> I accept that chinese authorities generally have access to anything they want to in the country

So just like the US ?

localplume · 2 years ago

nope. the US doesn't have the same military-civilian fusion that China has, given the latter is an authoritarian one party state.
