On the plus side, you can finally grow rice and mango in Siberia. Maybe move all the Bangladeshis to Siberia and that place even more far east which I can never remember the name.

Mantis42 posted:God between that tweet thread about how much national GDPs reflect the actual productive economy and their sad little navy it's really amazing how completely hollowed out the modern UK is. There's no "there" there, they don't make anything, they don't have that many resources, their military sucks, and so on. They're really just coasting on the surplus they stole from their colonies and the fact that they speak English. They're the failsons of history. It's hard enough to get people to understand that the "City of London" is an incorporated entity distinct from the city of London, before explaining how the UK eats off of the City of London being the world's money launder.

They're really just coasting on the surplus they stole from their colonies and the fact that they speak English. They're the failsons of history. This is kinda a myth as far as I can tell. They have the 9th highest manufacturing output in the world with 1.8% of world total, with a large transport sector. Measured in real pounds manufacturing output doubled from 1958 to 2007. Productivity in the UK's steel industry increased by a factor of 8 between 1978 and 2006. Obviously service stuff is increasing at a much higher rate and they're hardly a great power, but a hollowed out most powerful nation on the globe is still doing just fine as far as a smallish island goes.

I looked up their election process recently and if you could somehow avoid being killed it looked pretty easy to just take over.

Does UK export decent amount of plane/train/power plants/other physical stuff, compared to Europe? I know UK has a few high end auto brands, no nuclear plants solution because they are relying on France to build new plants. Oh yeah, Dyson stuff.

Slavvy posted:What do you do with these people, seriously? I'm just going to get probed, aren't I. China is a really mixed bag, because people are mostly very culturally conservative, but not religiously conservative, which tamps down on the zeal of the hate. So you get a lot of things like parents expecting their kids to be straight, but in the same way they expect them to get good grades and not do drugs. But not "how dare gay people exist" batshit that the US or Russia or Saudi Arabia has. It leaves this uncanny valley where homophobia is widespread but not so blatant as to get much pushback.

Slavvy posted:What do you do with these people, seriously? I'm just going to get probed, aren't I. When they immediately start name calling "tankie" and don't actually engage with arguments nor provide anything substantial (lol just linking a Wikipedia article and nothing else) you've already established that there's no point engaging there. The auspol thread is equally bad. Just know that these people are mostly online wankers that will immediately cower and support fascism when the US starts poo poo. Focus your energy on studying theory, analyzing history and practicing revolutionary activities. Get out there and meet your fellow "tankies" they're far more attractive than those forum posters. Online libs don't understand dialectics or contradiction.

Slavvy posted:What do you do with these people, seriously? I'm just going to get probed, aren't I. Jin Xing, a trans woman who is a quite famous ballerina/TV host/actress, is the one major Chinese LGBT celebrity that comes to mind. Not sure how many there are aside from her. It's not all sunshine and rainbows for LGBT folks in China, but I think that applies to LGBT folks in any part of the world. Same goes for ethnic minorities. I'm sure LGBT Chinese, Uyghurs and Tibetans have all sorts of opinions on China that range from "China bad" to "I just wanna grill" to "China #1." In my uninformed opinion, it seems like Chinese minorities have to deal with many of the ill effects of cultural conservatism western minorities do, with less threat of being beaten or shot to death in the street. I'm on the last episode of Blowback season 3. It's very good. Got me real pissed off and whatnot. It's incredible to me how many western leftists can't understand how dangerous this white savior poo poo is. We can't even save ourselves lmao.

Dude, it was trendy to have sex with squire in Ming dynasty. Chinese just don't talk about or treat gay people as separate group in law. You can be gay people freely, as long as you don't talk about it on tv. I have issue with this western attitude that you have to keep breaking up groups into small groups and call that progressive.
