what's up with this anyway? Did the dumb meaningless inflation bill actually gently caress Korea over in trade or is this just Yoon trying to flex and show he's not going to be a yes-man for the west? Wasn't that something Moon got criticized for a lot?

i think some ev and chip stuff in recent american policy is moderately inconvenient for korea and the economy is doing badly for more or less the same reasons as every other country right now and so he’s feeling pressure to fix it and every obstacle feels like an intolerable one

Okay what's the anti-imperialist lowdown on Myanmar in general.

My understanding is
1. Doin' some genocide with a right leaning government targeting muslims
2. Very casual coup by military aligned with the West(also right leaning)
3. This article.

That leaves some very big gaps in terms of the actual causes and systems at play

I vaguely remember hearing that basically every faction in Myanmar is on good terms with China and there’s an autonomous ethnic enclave that’s basically a mini-PRC, complete with a politburo that issues statements in Chinese and Mao portraits everywhere

What's impressive is Deng saw through him ahead of time.

My favorite Deng moment was probably how he immediately went to US after he seized power, he did the song and dance and completely sold the Chinese pivot to the US establishments. I did not realized WTO was just created a few years before China joined. Deng basically drew the globalization blueprint together with the US elites.

afaik the post-colonial government never really managed to coalese and get full control of the country outside Burmese majority areas for any real length of time, and any sort of pluralist postcolonial identity got taken out back and shot by the usual suspects pretty quickly as well, so it's kind of been as it has been since with varying ebbs and flows

The modern Myanmar state never finished the nation building after independence.

There was no civil war nor war against a neighbor country to form an actual national identity. Another confused nation created thanks to the British colonists.
