Atrocious Joe posted:Even if Qiao’s viewpoint isn’t fully mainstream within the DSA, Li added, “these outlets have sowed enough confusion with their disinformation that we can’t do much with DSA committees without it being blocked.” And Qiao has proved to be particularly effective in stifling the left’s discourse over another human rights crisis nearly 3,000 miles northwest of Hong Kong.

I think US arms sales are usually not for actually use but to build up brownie points with the US. I dunno why Australia would think they would need to butter up the US more. I am amused at the idea of AU fearing a Chinese invasion that would make Normandy look laughably small though. They are just waiting to pounce!

Australia is pretty much already upgrading from M1A1 tanks so it is a pretty straight forward. That said, I kind of doubt they are going to be apart of any pitched tank battles. Also, Taiwan lost a recently upgraded F-16 in a training accident, it wouldn’t be that notable except they also lost 3 F-5s in accidents as well over the past year. Also, there were a bunch of accidents in 2020. Ardennes has issued a correction as of 22:25 on Jan 11, 2022 |

Doctor Jeep posted:This is also more or less what Vijay Prashad, the director of an internationalist organization called Tricontinental and a Marxist intellectual who did an event with Qiao in May 2020, told me when I asked him about the Uyghurs. “The ‘cultural genocide’ charge is one that I’m not entirely sympathetic to,” said Prashad, who has visited China numerous times but has not been to Xinjiang. “Education policy is a big part of poverty alleviation,” he added. “The fact is that most modern societies have forced people to have an education.” In his telling, what is happening to the Uyghurs is analogous to what countries like the United States and Australia did to their Indigenous populations, or what the British Empire did in his native India—but somewhat to my surprise, he didn’t mean that in a bad way. “That’s the price that people pay,” Prashad told me. “You can’t preserve some cultural forms and alleviate or eradicate absolute poverty.” Not Uyghurs, but I'm sure this woman would be really happy if her ethnic group had no modern education. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pv7gVH2Wij4&t=401s

Orange Devil posted:What gets me is the counterfactual, let's say Stalin had right away believed the reports of famine and prioritized categorically stopping the famine over industrialization. It seems that a predictable result of that is going to be slower, and thus less, industrialization. So what then happens in 1941 and 1942 when the Soviet Union needs to face the Nazi horde but with less industrialization, and thus less weaponry, less logistical capacity etc? It's not at all impossible that more people end up dead in this scenario. the geographical distances of the Russian landmass have not changed in 100 years and the population has grown roughly linearly since then. meanwhile the speed of information transfer reached the physical maximum and the ability to process information has increased by several orders of magnitude. comparatively, the scale of the economic system to be managed has hardly changed relative to the power of the technology available to do so. this is a dramatic over simplification, but a single Silicon Valley series A seed company commands more planning capacity than the ussr in 1917. i think it’s fun to think about how goddamn feasible a fully planned, global economy would be but for the recalcitrance of capitalists and monarchists

cenotaph posted:Not Uyghurs, but I'm sure this woman would be really happy if her ethnic group had no modern education. This reminds me of one of the BBC's alleged exposès of the "cultural genocide" or whatever from last year. It was about evil CCP officials going to villages in Xinjiang and tearing Uyghur women away from their families and sending them off for forced labor. The BBC guy had a cut up video the article was largely based on that he tweeted out and billed as "the video the CCP doesn't want you to see." IMO, the version of the video he tweeted out was pretty benign but making incendiary claims while trusting most of your audience won't analyze your evidence is basic strategy. However, after just a tiny bit of research, I found out that this "video the CCP doesn't want you to see" was an excerpt from a much longer video that CGTN had literally posted to YouTube like 4 years prior. https://youtu.be/07NjqkQAgs8 Basically party members went to remote villages to recruit people for a work program. Most of the video focused on them trying to convince the family of one young adult woman that she should be allowed to work. I haven't watched the whole video in like a year but basically they were eventually convinced, she went to a city to work for a few months or something, then came back with livestock and money. Genocide on a disturbing scale. The true reality that the Communist Regime in Beijing won't tell you about.

a major part of the Uyghur genocide narrative boils down to 'cultural genocide is when you try to encourage women to be allowed to work jobs other than homemaking'. It's really no shock the main architects of this poo poo are christofascist freaks like Zenz, so much relies on 'YOU'RE BREAKING THE FAMILY UNIT BY LETTING A WOMAN OUT OF THE HOUSE', real cool to see libs parrot it though!

Taiwan needs a creditable deterrence and the only real upgrade path is eventually to the f-35. It is a bit of a rock and hard place. Well on the USs end the f35s wont even be our main line of air support, it'll be upgraded F16 since we absolutely hosed ourselves this airfighter generation. We'll have to speed up the upcoming generation which will still take 15-20 years at the least before the aircraft are in stable production baring everything goings tits up like the f35 again. And within our own doctrine there is a belief that the upgraded f16s are a match against the chinese fighters with the biggest factor for success being the experience of the airmen in them. I dont know how delusional that is

Upgraded f-16s are probably fine against similar 4th gen AESA Chinese aircraft (j-10/11/16) but I really don’t know how they would fare against the j-20 which is a 5th generation fighter. Of course, the other issue is that the PLAAF can concentrate its force of fighters while the US really can’t while there size and general tech of both forces isn’t that different from each other at this point. (A big part of it is the PLA has been building tons of 4th generation planes while the US has been screwing around with the F-35.) It is why a war over Taiwan is a bit of fantasy, the PLA already has a overwhelming advantage. Ardennes has issued a correction as of 00:10 on Jan 12, 2022 |
