Marx says: "Labor is not the source of all wealth. Nature is just as much the source of use values (and it is surely of such that material wealth consists!) as labor, which itself is only the manifestation of a force of nature, human labor power. "

10% interview raten is actually pretty good, mine is 5 at best.

I have only ever applied to a single job and they hired me.

Don't feel bad, OP. An astounding chunk of those jobs were never hiring at all!

I have saved almost 300 rejection letters since April 2025. I have had 4 interview processes that went to the last step in the last year and of course I didn't get the job. I have been looking for a new job for over two years. Many of these jobs have descriptions that basically is the same shit as my current job, but I can't fucking win.

But /r/sino, hexbear and /leftypol/ told me homelessness doesn't exist in china

>the mainland chinese beggars and homeless on the streets of the municipal and urban environments
I saw very little homeless people in China and the other countries of the Sinosphere I've visited.
They do exist, I remember seeing a few in Guilin and Busan, and I came across a building looking like a homeless shelter in Beijing, but there are way less homeless people in the streets than in the West, nothing comparable to Paris or Bologna for example.

I would say it's in part due to stronger family ties, a remain of Confucianism, parents tend to allow their children to remain at home longer if they have trouble getting a stable job and place to live, etc.
There is a dark undertone to this though: when people become homeless in South Korea, they overwhelmingly tend to commit suicide, it's extremely shameful to be homeless, that's why there are so few of them. Some people also work in rundown workshops in exchange for a place to live and to make pennies in China I believe too.

>But no, more tired, performative, bitching about Japan (i.e. "no shit Sherlock").
I think political communities tend to caricaturize and emphasize differences a lot between East Asian countries.
Liberals will tell you Japan is perfect, clean, well-managed, etc. and then tell you China is a horrible dictatorship harvesting organs from Uyghurs.
Communists will tell you China is perfect, prosperous, well-managed, etc. then tell you Japan and South Korea are fascist hellholes on the verge of collapse.

The truth from my experience is that daily life in the big cities of East Asia is remarkably similar, Shanghai or Chongqing are not so different from Seoul, which itself is similar to Tokyo apparently.
It's just ideology distorting what is actually going on in these places. People act like it's the Cold War, but as long as Japan or South Korea doesn't talk about Taiwan, China is willing to closely collaborate with them, the South Korean president met Xi not too long ago. K-Pop is huge in China too for example. When the Japanese PM said the defense of Taiwan was strategic for Japan, China cancelled most flights to Japan during the Chinese New Year, specifically because a ton of Chinese tourists go to Japan during this period of year.

>nothing comparable to Paris

if you go to Bordeaux in france you will see almost 0 homeless because they just get shipped outside the city. Seeing homeless people is not indicative of the reality, you are wilfully engaging with a spectacle otherwise.

I don't know the numbers for china so I might be talking out of my ass, but considering their social safetynet is pretty much "just get a new job now, no money for you, fuck you" I doubt they do much better then France but they might hide it better (or you just kill yourself the day you lose your job).

As a side note, homeless population has more then doubled since macron is in power.

No one really knows what to do with these kinds of people except to hope that they just disappear, preferably by their own hand. The cost to kill them is probably too high but the cost of keeping them is also too much. It almost feels like that Pol Pot quote but neither option is beneficial or a loss for that matter. Is the situation neutral?

>considering their social safetynet is pretty much "just get a new job now, no money for you, fuck you"
thats just not true, at least in rural areas where theres straight up welfare aid, and a large part of their poor population is in the rural areas. And it might vary by regions, because I think most of this is handled at regional level

quickly googling and getting a 2017 research about it:
>Since 2007, rural households falling below a local poverty line receive financial assistance through a social transfer program, the “Rural Minimum Living Standard System” (also Rural Dibao). Nationally around 8 percent of the population, and more than 20 percent in underdeveloped regions in the west of the country, receive transfers (see figure 1). In order to reach its poverty reduction goals, the five-year plan stipulates a further expansion of this program

Even Russians will acknowledge how gynocentric Russian society is. There’s actually a Russian communist on Quora who complains about both tsarist and modern Russia being hell on Earth for men, and how it was better during the Soviet era.

several problems,

1. keto-paleo-carnivore are more or less healthy, except for when taken to the extreme. to expand on this, keto and paleo aren't even meat heavy diets, contrary to what people think. keto is a diet that is designed to keep refined carbohydrates low, but you can still eat fibrous foods like spinach alongside lean meats, and have a mostly balanced diet. you can be mostly a vegetarian with a few animal products on the side and still be keto. paleo is just an attempt at eating as clean as possible, i.e. foods unaffected by hormones, pesticides, or other artificial means of alteration. carnivore is the most extreme, but even this you could make work if you ate like twice a day and took a fiber supplement.
   
   
2. most of these dickheads on youtube/social media are just doing what they do for attention. what you see them doing on camera doesn't necessarily reflect how they live life while off it. the point being that you don't know how they eat, and to what extent they're being extreme and unhealthy.
   
   
3. you're right that there is some sort of push against the feminization of man, but like, nobody with a brain falls for that shit. it's mostly young dudes in their teens and maybe early 20s. what's the average age of your typical andrew tate fan? no older than 25 I'd say. the point being that even if these influencer types are living unhealthy lives and broadcasting it to the youth, most of the people who consume that messaging will have limited ability to put into practice the sorts of advice they advocate, given that most of them aren't even out of their parents' house or able to earn an income that would be sufficient to do that sorts of shit they suggest.
   
   
4. I don't need to do anything, to perpetuate any sort of idea, and even if you try, you think you're the only one who will do that? people don't just fall for propaganda, because that shit is everywhere and we form a natural bias toward and against certain things. if transhumanists suddenly come out in droves in support of the sort of supposedly unhealthy lifestyle that carnivores propagate, it'd raise a huge red flag to the chuds.
   
   

at best, all you can do is let 'em destroy themselves on their own time, and they're already doing that. better yet, why not do the legwork to try and convince your fellow chud to gain some class consciousness? it's not easy but who said it's impossible?

>keto-paleo-carnivore are more or less healthy, except for when taken to the extreme
And surely you can predict my answer: let's take it to the extreme.
I was thinking of 'carnivore diet' rather than paleo, my mistake. And you can survive off it for a few years, you can survive for a year without eating real food at all if you have enough stored energy, but it will have serious health implications if you aren't getting adequate nutrition. Health problems impact people and their ability to organize.

>most of these dickheads on youtube/social media are just doing what they do for attention. what you see them doing on camera doesn't necessarily reflect how they live life while off it. the point being that you don't know how they eat, and to what extent they're being extreme and unhealthy.

YES!

The result is:

• They don't look like they're dying.
  
• They convincingly promote a diet and other products that, if followed by a fan (fanatic), could seriously hurt them.
  
  

>most of the people who consume that messaging will have limited ability to put into practice the sorts of advice they advocate, given that most of them aren't even out of their parents' house or able to earn an income that would be sufficient to do that sorts of shit they suggest.

1. it was bad
   
2. there's an ominous trend in britain and perhaps elsewhere of revising the "pointless slaughter for stupid reasons" narrative that used to be common in pop culture + the general solemn and respectful nature of remembrance day (our holiday to commemorate the end of the war) and turning it into another "they died for our FREEDOM, join the army so you can be a martyr TOO" WW2 type thing, which seems less like respectable historical revisionism about the allies being the best of a bad lot or the casualties being the result of technological change rather than callous generals, and more of a nasty undertone of "the wrong side lost WW2 so we need a new conflict to idolise."
   
   

see also the obscene and ridiculous transformation of remembrance poppies from something solemn to something ludicrously pompous (fire them at a tank! drop them from a bomber! paint them on a fighter jet!) and occasionally outright obscene (from "lest we forget" to "future soldier" (!!!!) in just a century.)
