For a generation disillusioned by endless war overseas and financial hardship at home, China is starting to look like a promising alternative.

Considering how many voted for Trump, I don't exactly trust the thinking of the younger generations at this point.

[–] tidderuuf@lemmy.world 18 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

They were raised by Pewdiepie, MrBeast and TikTok. There was an issue with their thinking ever since.

Man i thought i only saw these dogshit opinions on boomer socials.

The younger generation isn't voting at all, because they refuse to accept "the lesser of 2 evils" as a viable path to future progress.

The only people with critical thinking issues here is you 2.

Have you seen the report suggesting that 40% of genz men believe women should be subservient to their man in all ways?

I'm not sure I agree with your assessment.

Edit: I made a mistake, it's that 40% of young men believe women lie about domestic violence and rape. So that's much better, obviously.

[–] Reiterate9120@lemmy.org -4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Link the report. How was the query worded to give an informed answer.

What was the demographic of the people questioned?

What was the size of the test pool?

Heres one, not 40% but 31%, daily mail is 33%.

Who has the correct number?

GLOBAL study of 23,000 lol

Is every news outlet except fox fake news to you?

Own any red hats?

Your issue is you don't know how assessments work or what the requirements are to make it accurate.

Go back to fuckbook, less scruitiny there.

Ah, I see — so let me get this straight.

You try to call in to question the report I'm mentioning which, congratulations you found the one I'm referencing. Then claim it's inaccurate*, then claim I must only believe in Fox News and am probably conservative?

And you're telling me that you're able to judge others ability to critically think? Captain Assumption is lecturing me?

Reddit misses your engagement, also scrutiny doesn't have two i's.

[–] Reiterate9120@lemmy.org -2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Your claim: 40%

The articles claim i referenced that you say is the same you got the number from: 31%

I didn't say it was fake, i said there were other articles that claim it's 33% None of the numbers i saw were 40. Did you intentionally inflate the number, ignoring the laughably micro survey pool

In a GLOBAL (8 billion) survey, 23,000 isn't a fair representation of 4 billion men.

What i am saying is that survey is propaganda, and you are pathetic in engaging in the spread of it.

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Correct! Edit: Actually, the other post didn't misrepresent them! I switched the number from a different post, one that states 40% of young men believe women lie about reports of domestic violence. So, not misrepresented by them — simply a mistake by me. You can add this datapoint to the list of datapoints I've already provided.

Now, do you have separate reasonings for the popularity of men like Trump, Nick Fuentes, Charlie Kirk, Andrew Tate, Joe Rogan, or any of the other disgusting 'thought leaders' that influence many young men today? What about red pillers? Black pillers? What are your explanations for those things?

I don't have the patience to hunt down every data point because I don't need this to confirm what I already know — something is very wrong with an unsettlingly large number of men. Oh there are plenty of reasons why there are things wrong with them, many of them quite tragic — does that change reality? No, now go cool off.

Youth voters favored Harris 52% to 46%. Its the older voters who voted more for trump.

They’ll be disappointed to learn that China’s just as bad as the US, in some similar and some different ways.

[–] timwa@lemmy.snowgoons.ro 3 points 3 weeks ago

But also markedly better in many. I've worked in Changsha on and off for the last decade, and I'd move there to live in a heartbeat. The modern US I wouldn't touch with a hundred foot pole.

That's subjective of course - but, while I don't know what you're taught in the US (it's actually exciting to learn that you still have schools, I thought they'd all been converted into gun ranges) about China, that some people are clueing up to the reality being different is an objectively good thing - even if it's not all sunshine and roses in Xi's world either.

[–] outofthisworld@lemmy.org 10 points 3 weeks ago

Propaganda. They’ve never been there, so hearing about it is just illusion.

And before your ML panties get in a twist, fuck the USA, China, Russia, UK, (most of) Europe, and basically every other capitalist country (yes, China is capitalist).

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

This reads like a paid ad (the irony!). I'm sure spending 70% of their free time on TikTok algos has some niche corner of the internet "Chinamaxxing", and turning off the constant dopamine stream made people upset, but the reasoning in the article seems dodgey at best.

I personally don't see issues of authoritarianism and censorship and go "woawww, a society that has that baked in is so much better"

Funny fucking hat though, I just might have to pick one up

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Old Americans aren't buying these old narratives either. Turns out that the US government being so openly corrupt has real consequences.
