I feel like asking whether you were born yesterday. Have you not seen any anti-AES propaganda, or the rounds Western MSM make when they’re pushing some anti-AES horseshit? It’s always innuendos, insinuations, half-truths and fabrications that were corrected by the text itself or its sources, but the intention is that the liberal audience doesn’t think sufficiently deeply to realise the insinuations have no basis or that they don’t read long enough to see the part of the article counter to the headline.

If you think there’s nothing to think about, ask yourself this: Why mention “Chinese-made” in the lead? The average article regarding other conflicts doesn’t mention where the weapons come from, doubly so for the Zionist entity since most of their weapons are Usian. What’s different here?

Are you asking why someone from the comic book villain speech country doesn’t recognise the distinction between arab, iranian, palestinian and muslim?

Excuse you for not believing that this video showing a list of known criminals isn’t actually the lowest social credit scorers in town. We don’t check the facts when a video from china gets a scary music and english overlay or commentary in this part of the world, thank you very much.

The peoples of the global north are little more than an audience at this point, especially when it comes to what’s going on where they aren’t. They sway like dead seaweed to whoever holds the best funded frequency. And on the rare occasion that they discover a contradiction inthe general narrative and their lived experience, they choose barbarism.

But Sanders has been talking in this manner for years. He participates in rhetoric that only has invasions and bombings as its natural conclusion, but when the great beast starts heaving to start killing people in earnest, he calls foul. This isn’t anti-war, it’s pro-war machine with anti-war aesthetics.

This also means that to the extent that they haven’t evolved beyond him, his audience are turn into a multitude supporting western/Usian foreign policy 99% of the way to hot conflict and getting cold feet there.

The one piece of advice that always holds up when trying to inform and convert those around us is simply to hit them where they live. AES just isn’t that, not to mention they’ve probably been propagandised so much since birth they think China, DPR Korea etc are hellholes in the same way they think the earth revolves around the sun. It takes a lot of effort on their part to realise just because the circle peg goes in the square hole doesn’t mean that’s where it belongs.

I sympathise with you. I’ve got old school militant socialists spewing BBC garbage about AES. Best I’ve managed with those old farts is to get them to think we agreed on a middle ground when they just misunderstood (even plain old misheard) something I said and call it a day. It’s quite exhausting.

Go in the mouth and come out the arse!? Horseshit theory confirmed?

I did a search on him limited to results before this week, this is from the second link:

In 1999, Prevost took over the Midwestern Province of the Order of Saint Augustine.

He oversaw St. Rita of Cascia H.S. in Chicago’s Ashburn neighborhood as well as St. Jude parish and Providence Catholic High School in New Lenox, where school president Rev. Richard McGrath reported to Prevost.

McGrath was forced out of his position in 2017, after a Providence student reported seeing a nude image of a boy on his cell phone while he watched a wrestling match. He was later accused of sexual abuse by a former Providence student. The Midwestern Province paid $2 million in 2023 to settle the case.

All the king’s donkeys and all the king’s spooks know well they can’t destroy Ansar Allah by bombing them, trying to kill them from afar. They also can’t take the risks involved in an invasion. They know the main factor that makes usians wary of their adventurism is corpses coming back. Not only that, they can’t produce the necessary political will for anything more, the republicans aren’t popular enough and democrats can’t talk about Yemen without admitting they never have a shit what the Zionist entity was up to.

All glory to the people and fighters of Yemen!

Thank you for being yourself, and for being with us.

Super duper nice, good star. Show us where anyone said capitalism wasn’t a stage of final development, anyone saying it should’ve never happened?

You’re comparing a system that lets people suffer unnecessarily with a time of lower technological development. It’s literally apples and oranges, not to mention you’ve failed to address what they meant, something someone else spelled out.

This speaks to my naiveté, admittedly, but I didn’t actually question the headline for the 2 seconds out took me to reach “The Onion.” Trump may not be a unique evil regarding the wicked hegemon, but he is random enough that incredulousness doesn’t quickly kick in.

Well, no matter. Because I’m STILL holding all the cards, and guess what: they’re allll Full Houses!

I think they overestimated what effect the loss of nordstream and western trade would have and the efficacy their vassals armed by NATO while underestimating Russia’s other partners and their industrial and military capacity.

The incorrect assumptions are different every time but it’s always bourgeois leadership puffing their own fumes.

I hope you won’t mind my ultra moment here. I think while the results speak for themselves, he got lucky.

Even in retrospect, Deng Xiaoping seems to be the rightmost someone can be and still reasonably be considered a communist. Looking at some of his unimplemented ideas and the policies that were reversed in the following decades, it’s understandable why someone would think he was a capitalist roader in his time. The path he set the CPC on meant that the party had to walk a difficult tightrope, fooling the westerners by obfuscating their long-term plans while keeping the creeping liberalism at check. Whole the capacity of her administrators and will of her people played the main part, China couldn’t have made it to today without fortune by their side.

Tldr I agree but only with hindsight

The current model in the west only works because the populace has been fed so much liberalism they can’t tell it from reality, thus can’t develop class consciousness. When it fails, it’ll be because the ruling class fell for their own bs.

First of all, it’s paywalled, I can’t read a thing. The text would be appreciated. A bit long so I’m just sharing an archive link that works (recent ones don’t seem to) https://web.archive.org/web/20150505185403/https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/russia-fsu/2014-08-18/why-ukraine-crisis-west-s-fault

Second,

Fuckall changed in 8 years between this and the outbreak of the SMO and the 3 years since. The histories will write how this hegemony played with the fate of yet another nation and had no scruples about tossing their toy to the flames for the sake of their endless ambitions.

Who’d be Trump’s Guilliman?

Hitler, Himmler, Speer etc had plans that were no more consistent with reality than the average alt history enthusiast come up with. That they also ruled one of the belligerents of WW2 doesn’t make their ideas more coherent. This is just discount might makes right.

This guy gives off the same vibes as the kkk dipshits getting bullied by the nazi fucker in Wolfenstein.

“island nation”

It’s a similar problem, building in the middle of nowhere without planning will similarly have future costs. More importantly, those supposed ghost cities have hundreds of thousands of inhabitants now.

From my POV anti-corruption efforts, even though proof of past corruption without doubt, isn’t a contradiction. It’s very much the system working: anti-corruption efforts are nowhere to be seen in liberal democracies. Like all the other improvements in AES, the capitalist economies could do it, but never do.

Besides, I wrote about incentives and inclinations, not rich guy dumb commie smart. A faulty system that benefits oneself directly or one’s benefactors doesn’t provide an incentive to improve to replace that system. Similarly, someone without a liberal indoctrination, even if they’re engaging in some (different kinds of?) corruption, would be more likely to see issues as they come up and more incentivised to fix them. None of this is to say China or other AES make no mistakes, there’re plenty of errors to be found, big and small. But the structures that exist there are different than those in capitalist economies and as I understand them, have better incentives to catch long-term wasteful choices.
