Anyone else following India news? Modi kind of did a madeover recently and he now looks like a cult guru master.


This was what he looks like 6 months ago when he announced the quarantine

This was him yesterday whining about India not getting a seat in the Security Council

What America has is a history of white supremacy that was never rightfully crushed, whether that was at the end of the Civil War or at the end of segregation. Both times, the racist shitheads responsible for the heirarchies and the exploitation didn't answer for a single one of their crimes. Even South loving Africa had Truth and Reconciliation committees after apartheid, but the architects of America's racist hierarchy just sort of faded into the crowd after it became inconvenient for them to be open about their goals, and so they've festered for the last fifty years or so.

To wit though, I'd actually say America's white supremacy problem doesn't always express it self in outright 'a white person thinks they're better than everyone else'. Sometimes it's just more, ambivalent about their 'whiteness' and just being extremely anti-black, anti-hispanic, anti-chinese, anti-anyone-they-don't-see-as-white in general.

The effect is largely identical either way.

America could and should have killed the entire Confederate leadership and shot every slaveowner on sight, and if we'd done that the USA as superpower now would probably still have a few extra decades of life left in it. but we didn't do that and lol now the slow poison we didn't excise has reached the heart. We've literally never made the upper class accoutable, except when they screw over other rich people.

Everything else aside, China's going to end up ruling the world for the simple reason that the PRC wasn't founded on a blatant loving lie

The settler colonialist argument against Taiwanese reunification is completely stupid, because neither side is going to give land back to the Indigenous Taiwanese anyway. It's either Taiwan as a US colony or a Chinese region, there's no realistic third option.

The most likely scenario IMO is China just blockades the island, brings it officially under its jurisdiction as a kind of semi-autonomous island, then slowly integrates it over a few decades.

Even if Taiwan's army is dwarfed by China's, it's a naturally defensible fortress and an actual invasion would be a bloodbath just about no matter which way you strike it. The only way it becomes easy for China is if Taiwan gets to like First Gulf War Iraq levels of army cohesion and its military just crumbles the nanosecond it meets the enemy

There's got to be a kind of "force multiplier" to how easy it is to spy on a country when said country has a general notion about it that it doesn't have a future. It's probably way easier to bribe/blackmail some general into spilling their secrets if they're not even sure the country's going to exist in ten years

Revolutionary China was a very volatile mix of genuine revolutionaries who wanted to bathe in capitalist/KMT blood + moderates who'd gotten swept up for the ride and wondering what the gently caress they'd gotten into + straggling warlords that just shrugged and put on a mao suit and hoped nobody would notice + mao himself being the 60s equivalent of extremely online and going to frankly baffling lengths to settle scores, which ranged from political rivals to people that had slighted him once twenty years prior

If you pissed off Stalin, you'd get a visit from the NKVD and just vanish.

If you pissed off Mao, he'd send like five to forty guys to just beat the gently caress out of you in broad daylight for something you did either a week ago or a week after the founding of the Chinese Communist Party

In 2004 I was a sophomore in high school in bumfuck USA and one day in my physical science class we had a new kid who our teacher introduced as "Ilya whose family just moved to America from Communist Russia this year." Then he proceeded to ask him to tell us an anecdote about how lovely Russia was. He just said something like "the food is better here" iirc. He was a quiet dude.

That was the first thing I thought about when I heard the word "communism" until I was like 20 lmao

I always like encountering people that claim they 'escaped' from a communist country and when you get to actually probing them for information it's something like they left poland in 2006. Took your time packing, did ya?

All the Ukrainian blood being spilled is washing the hands of "the west" clean. Liberals are already going back to old talking point about "the west" spreading democracy. The blood craze is already returning to their eyes. We will invade someone now no questions asked and liberals will just look at you and say the word Russia. "The left" and anti war movement in America is already dead or on life support. With this, what little tattered remnants remained will be dissolved into nothing.

I hate this stupid gay loving world. Americans and liberals the dumbest and most servile group of people. Please just launch the loving nukes already.

With Russia specifically I think the deal is that a lot of liberals really hold onto the belief that Russia got Trump elected and 2016 broke their brains so badly that they'll never, ever forgive them for this.
