  • A lot of people dont want work to be faster, more efficient. They just want no changes in process. People are comfortable in avoiding changes.

    A lot of people also see stuff they do as art or enjoy the process. They dont mind things taken a lot of time.

    We had fake communism and real communism, feudalism levy and feudalism slave systems before.

    You are talking about project groups companies. Agriculture doesnt operate like that bc farmers tend not to be like some agile project groups


  • Pulling out the racist card on language topics and being confronted on “I heard from a friend” is hilarious. I think at this point people can just read that your comments are wrong and are no longer easily fooled by misinformation, so it is fine now. I dont need you to admit being wrong. Which barely happens on reddit nor lemmy


  • It is because of capitalism. Capitalism includes price competition, necessity to update farming tools and adopting technology in timely manner for every farmer, reducing worker numbers by replacement with farming tools, free labour movement, meaning less people being stuck being farmers. Tech development competition and tool production is its own capitalistic dynamic too.

    Other forms aren’t necessarily centuries behind in effectiveness but they would require very microscopic management and preplanning, hopefully competent leaders and selfless participants.

    Agriculture is in most societies already heavily regulated and intervened by governments and politicians bc of its importance. So even in capitalistic nations, agriculture is never pure capitalistic


  • I as many of my people know cantonese and mandarin while knowing latin and english, we have way more insight than your 2nd hand story which might not even be the fault of your friend if he only had few minutes to tell you about it or you simply not having the time to understand him.

    It is important to not let this just go bc people blindly believe things on reddit and lemmy especially when it is such foreign topic. Peking was Peking bc it is cantonese transferred english, german and co. Thats a known fact






  • Thats bc of cantonese not bc english randomly made mandarin sound like cantonese.

    Cantonese and mandarin are so different in pronunciation and word usage you know when an english word is made to resemble a cantonese or a mandarin word.

    Peking is so obviously not mandarin its not even close. Pe was never pronounced Bei. People just knew Peking was supposed to be Beijing in mandarin so some mandarin people skipped the middle man and just used their own language word despite something else being written on the paper






  • Peking is pronounced like its written bc its not mandarin beijing for northern capital but cantonese for northern capital.

    The world used cantonese before mandarin for few reasons and depending on words. Cantonese was a much larger community overseas so they taught foreigners cantonese words. The other reason for some words is that cantonese is closer to the ancient chinese than mandarin, so some words when they are far back transferred to the west and middle east sound closer to cantonese
