Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

They really don't need more graduates from the university, so many of them struggle to find any job and end up as delivery drivers https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ce8nlpy2n1lo
On the other hand, I think the rise of fascism in the US is directly connected to its growing anti-intellectualism and cuts to education. Overall it's a good thing to have an overeducated population.
Up to a certain point or excluding certain topics I would argue:
If more and more understand the short comings of any current system due to education I would assume there will a growing demand for change to get rid of the shortcomings. And thinking back of how the Hong Kong Situation was handled it looks more like a top-down "My way or no way!" ruling style I don't see coping well with well educated citizens wanting change.
Might be wrong though. Just a thought before my morning coffee.
I mean, "Let's not educate people so they're ignorant to how they're being exploited, and we don't want to have to beat them down" is certainly a take. I guess maybe you can see Cypher as the people's hero if you squint hard enough.
But in my opinion, the more people who understand the shortcomings of a system, the more pressure there will be to fix it, and that's how progress happens. It's slow and sometimes bloody, but the alternative is even worse.
Shitibs really will find a way to portray anything China does as negative huh
Fuck off shitcon, nobody is talking to you.
Cope harder lib. How does it feel crying about other countries' better education just because you can't get any?
Also what does "shitcon" mean? Misspelled something?
The Chinese state seems to frequently chase vacuous milestones to boast to the world about while the actual problems China and its people face go unaddressed. Sure that describes a lot of states, but China in particular stands out to me in how dogged they are to gain face.
The saving/gaining face is deeply rooted in East Asian societies because they are collectivist societies and has strong roots in Confucianism.
