literally loving nothing. Most maoists actually retvrned to lame rear end party politics after the government did things like pass forest rights to tribals (which the modi government is stripping away again).

a big reason why squid game anticapitalist discourse annoys the hell out of me is because this ideal of south korea as a woke paradise thanks to its politically relevant pop culture is never discussed in the context of its actual dumpster fire political system which is at this point several years removed from right wing rule

So how badly was South Korea's Labor movement hosed by the 1997 crash and subsequent IMF bailout? from my scattered reading it seems the honeymoon period was from when the 6th republic started and the crash.

not as bad as youd think because they never really believed in electoralism and understand that their power stems from their willingness to fight back its the aspiring middle class more than the laborers who were hosed by the imf because they have no understanding that its an adversarial system thats rigged against them

make that another tally mark for my list of discourse crimes against squid game that it promotes an ideology of learned helplessness and finds any notion of solidarity unrealistic because of the prisoners dilemma

A friend sounded really angry about how you dont own land in china, since you lease it for like 80 year stints or whatever and Im like wtf do you care my dude. How long do you expect to live. Even if you lease it at 20 do you expect to live till you are over a hundred? You got diabetes, you smoke a pack a day and are overweight.

Exactly

Some of the comments in the video explain it

quote:

Ah, the famous eternal "Vietnamese/Chineese/ North Korean" Pilots
Si Ni Tsyn, Lee Si Tsin, Van-Yu-Shin and Friends.
Yes...

s not mockery, those are Russian names that are made look asian. This song praises the russian pilots that pretended to be Vietnamese - e.g Pilot "Lee Si Tsin" (Lisitsin - a common Russian surname) his name is written in a way it looks asian and in the song when the American pilot asks who shot him down, the VC interrogator tells the American pilot him "you were shot by our Vietnamese pilot Lee si tsin" and then the American pilot pretty much says "No, I heard two Russians on my radio on my headset".

You can break up some russian names into three syllables to make them sounds asian to someone unfamiliar with proper asian names.

global financing program, hm

quote:

The White House hopes the initiative can help democratic nations counter Beijing’s massive trillion-dollar project to finance infrastructure projects across the developing world. Biden has said he hopes that by involving the private sector, insisting on additional transparency, and offering equity financing instead of the onerous debt financing required by the Chinese, the U.S. and other countries can offer a preferable development path.

lmao, gently caress off. The reason why BRI works is exactly because China cuts any and all intermediary bullshit and negotiates directly with governments and favorable terms

the USA govt already did that bullshit twice, last time with the washington consensus, yet the state dept simply can't realize the possibility of doing direct spending in third world countries for their benefit first lmao

China: hey, I build you rail, roads, ports and an airport, plus we help you out with lots of credit straight to your account, no questions asked, for a symbolic fee. All we ask back is for us to trade, alright?

USA: so you want some money heh I got some heh heh look I need you to undo all these bullshit regulations about foreign financial movements, also my guys need to not pay taxes at all, k? we want 50% of your ports privatized, every airport ought to have a 20% private capital participation minimum. also we wanna an installation fee for those companies, consider it your entry price for our unbelievable yaaaas good loans, heh. btw they're so good so good that you gotta take a primary one from us with these spectacular interest rates, you just have to, heheheh. then you take another one from the IMF, because you see, the third tranche part is going to come from them. The second part is from this super-duper great private consortium of interests we are assembling just. for. you to make your jungleshit country ahem picturesque tropical wonder awesomely developed, POWERED BY AMERICA. after three years of proper payment and continuous demonstrations of goodwill by your part, such as by offering us really cheap privatization deals, we will then give 30% of the primarily negotiated value in your national account over two years, with interest discounted! isn't this the BEST. loving.
