It isn't that hard though. Go to a nudist retreat or beach, practice figure drawing (there are plenty of free online figure drawing resources), look at medical indexes, watch medical documentaries, just off the top of my head.

Actually sexualization- as opposed to attraction- to breasts isn't natural, which is wild. There are plenty of cultures where breasts aren't sexualized, especially near the equator in some traditional cultures where women go topless.

Also as a lesbian in the US who definitely has internalized sexualizing boobs, I don't find it at all distracting when someone isn't wearing a bra. Maybe it is just that I see boobs in non-sexual contexts so it only is sexualized within a sexual context? That might be useful if you're interested in unlearning this habit.

It would be helpful to give specific examples to where you think sources are being misused instead of generally saying that they are being misused.

Could you point out a specific instance where they "they rather cite segments fitting their narrative stands" in a way that misrepresents information?

Not a dude, please don't "bro" me

Here is another helpful link, on citizen perception of the importance of democracy and whether their government is democratic.

It was founded by a former NATO secretary so it has a pro-western bias.

Here is a chart sourced from its its 2024 report. As you can see Chinese people have more faith in democracy and the democratic nature of their government than westerners do.

The whole brainwashing thing is nonsense, as Cowbee pointed out you misread the data on the 11 percent. It seems like you are misreading data to support your preconceived notions.

Thats not how source verification works! Credibility=/= verification! Some nobody citing a lot of firsthand accounts of notable state actors admitting that they did a thing that would be bad for them to admit might be less credible than a mainstream news platform only citing secondary sources but is giving you more verifiable information.

China is a democracy, even studies by conservative western institutions show Chinese people have higher satisfaction with their government, more belief in the importance of democracy, and more belief in the democratic nature of their government than western European and American citizens do for their own governments.

They have a more comprehensive democracy too. Consultative processes and deliberative processes are enshrined in institutions in a way that they are not within western bourgeois democracies.

It had to rely on a last resort as opposed to its primary defensive system which constricts its design in a big way, its stealth component.

For me it isn't really worth thinking about unfalsifiable things? If you're looking for guidance, community, and inclusion, go join a socialist org or a queer community center?

I thought the US killed millions, not 100,000s?

Read Rosa Luxemburg on the limitations of unions, you'll have a better idea on why China prefers their union system.

How do they not meet the standard?

 

Some U.S. officials are frustrated at the pace of Ukraine’s counteroffensive, which has gained less than 100 square miles of territory.

Why was it there in the first place I wonder?

 

Why was it there to begin with I wonder?

 

The far left of the US' overton arrow slit is backtracking on the war now. https://youtu.be/jpUN0q35Lak

Mainstream US news backsliding on the Ukraine war narrative is pretty newsworthy.
