Burning monopoly money for my mom to use in the afterlife, but not so much that she can become bourgeoisie.

i got to experience the money burning thing when i was with my gf's family in rural yunnan during the spring festival. she grew up in a prison because her dad was a guard. the prison's long been shut down but some of the employee families still live on the grounds of the otherwise abandoned administrative complex and do subsistence farming. her dad, for instance, grew mint for the market and raised chickens (i had to hold a chicken my first day there while he drained the blood from it via it's neck. i thought it was dead until it suddenly revived. i dropped it like a bitch and it knocked over the blood bowl, ran around a bunch with it's head dangling nearly off, then dropped dead), among other things. anyways, we went out to the mound where her grandma was buried, in the middle of some field the prisoners would have worked back in the day, and what they do is they clear all the grass and weeds off with a scythe, burn some incense, burn some of that paper money, lay out some food and alcohol for her and so on. they also burn some stuff for a local mountain goddess that also has a shrine there. very interesting to see up close, but gently caress was it cold and the house didn't have any kind of heating. spent the entire time doing chores, it's not as fun as stardew valley makes it look.

Let me tell you about my opinion about Bernie Sanders and why Donald Trump is his true successor.

You cannot vote Hillary Clinton because she is worse than Trump.
Lmao the democrats are signaling to the world that there is no room for international cooperation for fighting climate change. Either america is in charge or we all die.
We are all going to die.

How is "Made in China 2025" not a massive success in every matrix? I can't think of a single subsection of manufacturing under performing since this was proposed. They just stop using that label.


It's also very preplexing, because these 4 words string together touched off more US elites nerves than anything the CPC have ever said, at least going back 4 decades. You would have thought phrase like "common prosperity" would light up more capitalist minds than "Made in China 2025"

on the one hand, they wanted to have a high tech green economy, told everyone they wanted to do it, and then did it successfully. on the other hand this made a lot of westoids really mad, even tho they all also said they wanted high tech green economies, because they failed to do so. hope u learned a lesson: no one should have high tech green economies unless these losers manage to figure out how to tie their shoes before we crack 500ppm co2e

stuff is happening in Georgia

https://www.theguardian.com/world/l...-latest-updates

Georgia protests: prime minister hits back at US concerns over ‘foreign agents’ law as thousands close major intersection in Tbilisi – live

quote:

US spokesman says 'foreign agents' law is 'wrenching apart' Georgia's partnership with US
The US’s assistant secretary for European and Eurasian Affairs James C. O’Brien said the new law passed is “wrenching apart” Georgia’s partnership with the US.

He added he was very clear that there will be consequences if the law was implemented.

:thunk:

quote:

Lithuanian president Gitanas Nauseda says his country stands with the the Georgian people.

“Nobody has the right to take your European dream away,” he wrote on X.

:thunk:

quote:

The foreign affairs committee spokesman of the German Bundestag spoke at the protest rally near the Georgian parliament.

“Don’t believe these lies, these conspiracy theories! We are not radicals. You are not radicals. You are simply the European mainstream because you fight for what Europe really is: democracy, freedom, the rule of law!” said Michael Roth.

According to the BBC he was joined by members of the parliaments of Lithuania, Poland, Czech Republic and Finland.

:thunk:

"only we are allowed to influence foreign countries" is the most blatant example of western hypocrisy I remember in a while, though I'm sure something will top it next week
