  • Most of the anti-LGBTQ+ rethoric in AES countries is cultural and has existed long before socialism, not due to socialism. Can’t speak for other cultures but as a Chinese immigrant in Canada, I’ve never met more LGBTQ+ phobic people than anticommunist Chinese immigrants, namely older ones. That’s literally their biggest complaint about Canadian culture and they compare it to the communism they “escaped” all the time. Word for word what your white boomer uncle says but with some of that toxic “if you dare disagree with your elders you’re the scum of the earth” traditional Chinese mentality sprinkled in.









  • Minimalism in GUIs, maybe (still, give me CLI any day). But minimalism in housing and infrastructure is absolutely critical and they are absolutely not equal to software. We need to be as efficient as we can because I don’t know if the author has noticed the state of housing in the world. How many more “boring, dull” buildings could be built for the same price? How many more if we copy pasted the same designs instead of demanding everything be unique? (But god forbid they be too different from the existing style or else the NIMBYs protesting minimalist buildings complain about that too.) The people who “prefer” the visually complex building have never been homeless in the back alley of that building before, nor have they ever been priced out of their neighbourhood by gentrification when their boring gray building gets torn down to build the pretty building.
