Don’t know what exactly the survey asked, but “quality” wasn’t the only consideration.

“Quality, security standards, value for money, uniqueness, design, advanced technology, authenticity, sustainability, fair production, status symbol” https://www.statista.com/page/Made-In-Country-Index

Was wondering why the USA was so high.

“2017”

No sympathy for those reaping what they sowed doesn’t mean no sympathy for those deserving of it, ie. those in her family who did not vote for Trump who are now suffering because of a situation she helped cause.

Banned. Seems a bit much. Maybe I’m lacking context, I dunno. I’ll just say I think it’s fair to point out whenever there is collateral damage deserving of consideration, and I didn’t feel insulted or anything by their post that is now removed.

If anything it’s just motivation to do some introspection. We should take care that our inclination to react to news like this with righteous vengeance doesn’t overshadow our empathy for and solidarity with other people that’s at the core of why idiots and assholes voting a fascist rapist into power makes us feel this emotionally invested.

Put out Putin.

Not just the poorest and not just children.

My Reddit account was permanently banned for saying I hope Nazi scum Elon Musk dies soon. Had previously caught temporary bans for saying things like “We should overthrow Musk into the sea.” in response to him having argued King Charles should overthrow the UK government. Reddit admins really don’t seem to like it when you’re righteously intolerant of evil scumfuck psychopaths who use their unearned power and influence to cause immeasurable harm to society, the world and its inhabitants. Things like that break Rule 1, threatening violence, they claim.

Although the permanent ban was only for a couple of days since I for once was successful in my appeal. I basically said death =/= violence. An obvious truth to anyone, except some Reddit admins apparently.

I’ve not really used Reddit since. Kind of lost my will to bother with a US based site that’s clearly and predictably going in a US direction, i.e. spiraling down the fascist sewage. Instead I’ve been drifting over to here. Will see what the moderation over here is like.
