Protip, one of the first things that happened when the Red Army retook Ukraine is that Ukrainians started fighting them instead of the Nazis, including immediately assassinating the Front commander who had 'liberated' Kiev.

destroying satellites like that will just create debris that makes it even harder for China to operate their own satellites. So hypothetically it'd be more efficacious to neutralize a satellite somehow rather than destroying it outright. but intercepting a satellite for capture like we're supposing they would is practically impossible. Not unless they didn't bother putting maneuvering thrusters on any of our satellites.

ten years from now at space force headquarters:

what do you mean all of the maneuvering thrusters on our satellites fell off how did they pass inspection?!

well it turns out the person whose job was to do the inspections just said nah and decided to take a nap instead of actually looking at them

... wtc is a national anarchist? That's a thing people say?

lol, when I hear 'national anarchist' the first thing I think of is Michael Schmidt, the white South African 'anarcho-syndicalist' author and organizer who wrote a pair of books that got wide circulation in the anarchist scene, occupied a position of leadership in South Africa's primary anarchist organization for years, and managed to position himself as a major authority on African anarchism.

He did all of this while being an extremely overt Nazi who prolifically posted on Stormfront and several other white-nationalist fora, voted for the Afrikaner neo-nazi party Freedom Front Plus in elections, and openly expressed white-supremacist positions, including on at least one occasion stating that it was okay that there were almost no black people involved in the South African anarchist movement, because black people lack the political knowledge necessary to contribute to the movement. He tried to formalize racial segregation in the structure of the Zabalaza Anarchist-Communist Front when it was founded. He wrote and circulated an internal document in 2008 in which he opined that 'the best anarchist militants have almost without exception been whites' and that 'blacks are incapable of other than the basest service to the Revolution'. He wrote articles about 'white genocide' in anarchist publications, and published a piece on anarchist website Anarkismo defending sadistic, mass-murdering neo-Nazi terrorist leader Eugene Terre'Blanche. Schmidt got away with this for over fifteen years before anyone did anything about it, and the only reason that happened is because someone doxxed him to anarchist publishing house AK Press. Up to that point all the badass anti-racist revolutionaries of the South African anarchist movement just quietly put up with him, and tried to pretend that one of their leaders wasn't a full-on sieg-heiling Nazi. By the time he was outed he had successfully run off every single black person who had ever tried to join the organization. The most prominent and well-known anarchist organization on the African continent had a membership that was 100% white, in a country that's over 80% black by population.

'national anarchism' is just a label used by regular old nazis trying to engage in entryism in the anarchist movement, but I can see why they do that, it clearly works

Stealing or spying on one another's satellites is something both the Soviets and the United States spent a lot of time thinking about. Some design parameters of the Space Shuttle were actually driven by a hypothetical mission profile where astronauts would ride the thing into a polar orbit to intercept and capture Soviet spy satellites so they could be studied on the ground. Not to say the space dump truck is capable of doing that, but it's an important intermediary capability, assuming it's all automated.

In any case, give thanks to the CPC for saving us from Kepler Syndrome, and look forward to the day when China announces it has captured a US satellite trying to spy on them.

Anarchism really boils down to rule by provincialism, so it's not that weird that an anarchist organization full of white people in South Africa wouldn't recognize the problem. The history of antisemitism that runs through anarchist tradition really speaks to its appeal to moralistic bigots.

I remember when the NYT started assigning point values to the medals just to make it look like China was behind even if nobody had ever counted medals like that before

and then when China had more gold anyway they literally shrank the icon used for the gold medals to make it look smaller than the other lines of gold medals from the other countries

not even unpopular sports just individual ones rather than team with not a word about how swimming is by far the most bullshit event because its super easy for a single athlete to get half a dozen medals
