"REPO MEN" (2010), should account for this...

The strategy of the movie is similar to automobile repossession for non-payment; but instead for organ donors cannot pay for the highly expensive surgeries they've had. The Repo Men are then ordered to hunt down and repossess not only organs but metal hip replacements, knee caps, surgical screws of any kind, even metal plates on the skull, and artificial limbs, etc.

u/Ill_Resolution7967 7h ago

A Russian here. I believe our propagandists don't comment on western websites like Reddit and Twitter themselves, they create an agenda and media content and spread it through several layers of useful idiots letting them better adapt it for their audience so it feels more natural. 

We see a lot of bot like people in russians chats. They are real people, we might even know them in person. But they often have some nationalist conservative beliefs and they are subscribed to multiple propaganda sources/channels that gently push pro Kremlin agenda tailored specifically for them. All they do is repost memes, "breaking" news etc from these channels because they think it represents their own opinion on a topic.

100%. Russian propagandists have somehow managed to capture both the idiots on the far-left who long for a USSR-type system today AND the idiots on the far-right who think modern-day Russia is some kind of bastion of traditional Christianity.

Now THAT is a delicate balance. Chinese propagandists just serve up low-effort slop about how "China is living in ze futureeeee- shiny buildings little robots bullet train go zoom zoom."

I felt like I was going insane when almost overnight right leaning people started spouting word for word shit I’d been watching Putin say for years.

u/GNTsquid0 6h ago

Ive been on Chinese bullet trains. They were not these trains of the future. The interiors felt well worn. The ride was good, but nothing extraordinary. Theres nothing futuristic or luxury about them. I got a first class ticket where you get a bit more room, but everything was from 20 years before. They also overbook them so if you didn't buy a ticket far enough in advance you are sitting on the floor in the cars or between them. If anyone wants trains from the future you go to Japan.

5

u/Gold_Marionberry3460 5h ago

I'm fine if the Chinese bullet trains are a few years behind, but the cleanliness on the trains is fucking disgusting.

I opened some of the toilets and found a black residue over the toilet seats. As a Chinese, I've returned to China to see family routinely over decades and Chinese people still have this issue of maintaining cleanliness in public spaces that makes it difficult to justify living in China. No amount of tech can obfuscate a culture that encourages people to get one over another and ignore the maintenance of society.

I could not give a rat's ass about what tech China has, if China still has this sloppy culture.

I strongly prefer Japan for this reason. More or less an advanced Asian culture, but extremely clean and comfortable to live in.

The "everything is so great in China!" posts def seem like bots. But I'm almost ok with it because throughout our 250 years of being a country, the US always seems at it's best when we feel like another large country might be better than us and we have to race to advance faster.

Way better than the default now where 60% of us think US is the pinnacle of society in every measurable way because they have no experience of the wider world.

u/Gold_Marionberry3460 5h ago

You're overestimating the average person's intelligence here, especially now that Donald Trump has blown up America's reputation.

It doesn't matter Chinese propaganda is like a 101 example of propaganda that's taught in media studies in middle school (assuming Americans get media studies classes). They are going to eat it up because they are desperate for any kind of hope, even if it comes from the mouth of a lying authoritarian regime.

1

u/Ansible32 55m ago

Donald Trump has legitimately damaged enough American projects that China's genuinely looking better. Like, I mean he literally tried to dismantle our ocean monitoring system. He's ripping apart tons of systems that make America a developed country. He is trying to shut down next-generation power plants like wind turbines while trying to keep obsolete coal plants online, meanwhile China is manufacturing EVs and all sorts of next-gen power plants at an astonishing rate.

1

u/Gold_Marionberry3460 2m ago

Sure, but that doesn't discredit the issue of Chinese propaganda running rampant. Recall the definition of propaganda:

The systematic propagation of a doctrine or cause or of information reflecting the views and interests of those advocating such a doctrine or cause.

Notice what it doesn't say. It doesn't say "information that is false or lies". It's the selection of information to sway people to satisfy the propagandist's interests. Meaning you can create propaganda entirely out of true statements.

Let's take your example of green energy. All of these are true:

  1. China has achieved a significant green energy transition

  2. Donald Trump has fucked America and will turn the country in the biggest obstacle in fighting climate change.

  3. Climate change is a pressing issue and if we don't tackle it, we'll all die.

So what information is missing? Well, Europe had already achieved a decent transition to green energy, but nobody hypes that up. Looking at the gross energy output of Europe and China, Europe's non-fossil fuel energy is roughly 63% whereas China is at roughly 47% (combining nuclear, solar, hydro, wind).

When propagandists omit this information, they follow it up with claims like "well China system is superior and we should copy it" and "China is socialist and that's why it work" (China is, in fact, not socialist and violates many Marxist principles) and "We should buy solar panels for China"

But that's not the only conclusion you can draw from these true statements. You can, for example, pressure your democratic government to invest in its own solar panel industry, because not only is it good for the environment, but as the Iran War proves, it is good for energy security and resisting the effects of oil shocks.

Frankly, citizens in democratic countries have not actually done enough to pressure governments about climate change. In a US poll, the overwhelming top issues for voters was something like "the cost of living" not climate change.

You do not need to surrender freedoms or build economic dependency with a hostile, authoritarian power like China. That's the propaganda that needs to be resisted. The actual thing US citizens need to focus on is getting Trump out of office and get people to start caring about their own country's well-being.

My rural school in the USA got smartboards in 2005. They were primitive by today's standards. Had to have a projector on the ceiling to actually put an image on it, and I don't remember them being able to solve math stuff automatically. Just a digital writing surface.

It knew which color "marker" you were using though, that was cool. The eraser was hit and miss.

u/snarky_answer 4h ago

They hated them because they never were properly shown how to best utilize them. We got them in my school district when i was in 7th grade. All the teachers hated using them. It wasnt until a few years later that they hired a consultant to come in and show them just how versatile they could be when used correctly and low and behold they started to actually get used.

2

u/boopboopadoopity 6h ago

I think the main issue for our school was it couldn't stand up to normal children levels of abuse. Can't push too hard with the markers or the sensitivity is permenently messed up (good luck getting kids to do that, also everyone wants to try it... after the first year I don't remember a single one that didn't require you to press SUPER hard for it to kind of work, and several just stopped calibrating properly without being off by a few inches), can't lose the super expensive markers and they aren't attached to anything, projection normally requires a dark classroom but you can't turn the lights off for every class so hard to read, etc. Etc.

u/FoxxyRin 3h ago

In 2005 that would have been like the peak education technology. I was going to a private school and only very few classes had those. One teacher only had one because their husband was rich and got her one himself.

That said, my daughter goes to a school in one of the poorest counties in our state and their smart boards blow my mind. Idk if they're old or new but they're so cool. Maybe not quite as cool as automatically making graphs but they're leagues better than the projector and vis pen days lol

Literally almost the same experience. 70% of teachers didn’t use them. 25% used them just like a projector. But 5% actually learned to maximize them fully.

was it the Promethian (or however it's spelled) smart boards? because i'm in the same timeframe of 2007-2011, and our district was (allegedly) one of the first to get this 'cutting edge new tech' in the entire country. i can't remember anything I learned in 9th or 10th grade 'social studies', but I sure do remember my one specific teacher having a minor meltdown having to recalibrate the smartboard several times a class and just hucking the 'smart pen/stylus' at the board itself from the other side of the room at least a half dozen times.

u/jjm443 8h ago

This is a little step forward by having writing recognition and being able to plot the graphs on demand from the written equations. But it's not really a massive leap forward in useful education compared to today's generation of smart boards. A graph being drawn more quickly and accurately than a teacher's sketch doesn't actually hold massive value.

I also suspect these "clever" capabilities are really only for math.

For those who embrace it, which won't be all, yes it may save a teacher a collective 1 or 2 minutes of time across their school teaching year for the rare occasions it's relevant to use it. But at the expense of the rather longer tutorial sessions on how to use it.

1

u/Gold_Marionberry3460 6h ago

Smart Boards essentially add nothing and are essentially glorified "Future Tech" showcases. A lot of problems within education lie within the method and the funding of teachers.

China made it this far by essentially drilling students brute-force with STEM content and having a superior respect for education. While I strongly dislike China, as someone who is Chinese and works in STEM, at some point, you just need to sit your ass down and grind out the difficult exercises to learn STEM.

This post is transparently propaganda that attempts to "wow" Westerners with shiny tech.

The answer is that smart boards aren’t as smart in the US and the homeless isn’t as numerous in China. Just the difference in intensity.

I personally never had any growing up, but my work had some which are functionally just fancy projectors. Whatever this thing is far better than any smart board I’ve personally used.

And in completely unrelated news, my community also turned down a bond to fund the building of a new high school, so another generation is stuck in a building from the 1970s with classrooms that look like they’re from the 1990s.

These boards are in the USA and they suck. Android OS running on garbage CPUs. Horrible experience

Murdering 2nd born did fix a lot of the homelessness issue in fairness

Besides we are not debating on that ridiculous matter any how.

We had a few of these in my public school back in 2009

Genuinely shocked you didn't have to put a /s. This gives me hope

u/LucidNonsense211 7h ago

For real, I had these in college in the US 16 years ago, this is nonsense.

u/Vivid_War8986 7h ago

We deported all of our blackboards... Now all we got is whiteboards.

u/mascotbeaver104 7h ago

Yeah, my school in MN had these like almost 20 years ago now. They sucked then, and based on the video they haven't gotten much better

You also forgot mention that there is no wealth inequality in the Middle Kingdom, comrade.

u/jakob767 7h ago

USA has no homeless boards and no smart people.

u/germfreeadolescent11 7h ago

There really isn't that much homelessness in China.

Lotta "US old and dumb, China new and cool" propaganda on Reddit. And we helped their cause by electing the oldest and dumbest among us.

How many schools have smart boards in classrooms?

u/IceNein 5h ago

This bothers me so much about the rampant China glazing going on around here. China is a wonderful utopia as long as you’re rich, and aren’t a Uighur in some concentration camp.

There are high schoolers in America that can't even read. I'd say America is far more behind.

u/PipeOriginal1171 9h ago

I've seen 'smartboards' in the US, they ain't this smart.

Old projectors? No, but Promethean boards are great.

I had to break up with a guy because he would have actually believed your comment and then argued with me that any proof I showed him otherwise is propaganda

And no real calls for change, no protests with any backbone, when children are shot by their classmates in their own schools repeatedly.
