i'm finding this quite easy, i guess in part because i'm a fast type but also because i have a coherent mental model of the world
i would say that we trivially avoided a laughably impotent attempt at a conservative takeover on 1/6. independent right wing terrorism is certainly bad but still a secondary threat compared to, say, the regular old police

apropos to nothing posted:

China has a one party communist state and more billionaires than any other country in the world. if the CCP are socialists then they’re bad at it.

they are actually extremely good at developing productive forces while avoiding becoming dependent on or outright pawns of the western world, and for all their billionaires are basically the one mathematical counterweight that makes it look like the global poverty rate is decreasing. but as we know here in america socialism is about sloganeering and not winning

I saw a riot and a bunch of morons wander around the Capitol aimlessly for a couple of hours. at worst they definitely would have killed some congressperson if they got their hands on one they didn’t like but at no point was trump becoming fuhrer ever on the table

By both definitions I consider to be useful, the United States has been a fascist state literally my entire life. You're a liberal. gently caress off idiot. The corporation and the state are merged in all but name, and we love to use colonial enforcement on the home populace. The only reason we aren't using drone bombs domestically is because they're too expensive. We use all the other hilariously over the top and lethal toys on 'criminals' all day, too. And oh yeah, WE'RE ETHNICALLY CLEANSING LATINOS, REMEMBER? Holy gently caress I can't stand talking to you kool aid drinking retards.

I'm convinced that capitol police made poo poo up and stoked the flames with rumors the whole time in a sort of "how dare you consider cutting our budget or disrespecting us at all" move.

Anyway, I don't have any decent takes on China being socialist or not, but the halting of the Ant IPO was a good sign that they're not going to let Jack Ma and his ilk run completely roughshod america-style.


My only other China take is that if Li Zi Qui is propaganda it's fuckin' working on me
