The Australian Prime Minister has a literal trophy on his desk bragging about his policy designed to win votes off hating Muslims. He's literally talked about how he keeps it there with pride to remind him of how good a job he's doing.

i'm open to the idea that the sources i've heard on this have been from a very anti-china position so i'll just say that i'd like to see sources that what china's doing isn't the old "give 'em a loan, buy them infrastructure, and then exploit their labor when they can't pay it back" style of neo-colonialism because i'm just genuinely suspicious of any country with money going to resource rich africa without ulterior motives

i would recommend "the dragon's gift" by deborah brautigam (or any of the articles she's written for wapo or foreign policy) and "the specter of global china" by ching kwan lee.

thank you, i don't really have the time to read but i've found a few lectures on youtube by brautigam that i'm listening to right now. i'm still nervous, but more open to the idea that these loans are meant to be mutually beneficial (though obviously still within a capitalist framework, but that's a different issue)

NO, IT IS NOT NORMAL TO USE A PEPPERAMI INSTEAD OF MINCED MEAT

YES, THERE IS TOO MUCH SALT IN MY RECIPE

NO, I WON'T STOP SHARING IT

IMO the most important detail is that Zuck doesn't actually butcher (or even cook?) the goats because he has professionals for that, he just raises them and then snuffs the light out.
