Antonymous posted:I wanna see the chinese cause 'no content depicting democracy' makes no sense since China considers itself a democracy and writes the word democracy on all their propaganda yeah this got me too. china is at least as much a democracy as western nations, why would they move to ban depiction of the system they use?

i pointed out that serena williams is 40 and his response was, and this is his exact wording "but she's the goat." 70 year old man. this is what espn has done to people anyways i guess my point is that if even a guy who watches 4 hours of network lib television a night doesn't care about peng shuai i don't think they're gonna be able to make it into a thing

Pener Kropoopkin posted:America being defeated in a naval operation against China would be the last nail in the coffin for American hegemony. Once you've lost the impression of invulnerability it's gone forever. America can lose in Iraq, lose in Afghanistan, but as long as we can insist to have a powerful navy we remain the leading world power. and then the nukes fly

Lady Militant posted:no they don't, that's why this is going nowhere because the only thing more embarrassing than losing a fleet would be our admittance that it would make no sense to go nuclear over ships lost in the pacific on the other side of the planet. i wouldn't underestimate the deep, psychotic superiority complex that grips the american political elite. being a dying empire with weapons of mass destruction will lead to millions, if not billions of lmaos

Pener Kropoopkin posted:A United States in decline would still have a sphere of influence to dominate, and that all goes away if you have a big sad and push the button. i think this assumes a lot on the part of rational actors. i'm not saying its a 100% certainty, but i imagine that seeing the american navy lose ships to china would trigger truly hilarious backlash that could quickly cascade out of control. there is a lot of psychic energy bound up in being the biggest baddest guy on the planet and when that dam breaks i'd be heading for a bunker

They will be willing to accept a reduced role on the world stage if it means keeping the capital flows going, even if the public craves blood. i'll bet on nuclear hellfire mostly because i would prefer death to the continuance of this cycle. which i guess between the two of us makes me the optimist lmao

Torpor posted:after the last few decades of world events why would any sane country give up or fail to maintain their nuclear stockpile? Corbin can be criticized not because he felt deeply that were he in a position to do so, he wouldn’t fire the missiles, but because he told the world that he wouldn’t, which defeats the entire point of having nuclear missiles. the entire point of a doomsday device is lost if you tell everyone before hand you won’t use it. "sane country"

the point is that every state is "authoritarian" and the question is about who exercises that authority and who do they represent? like we have an example of this just above with the example of how the cpc is exercising their authority to lower rents for people. they see housing not as a vehicle for speculation but as a necessity, which serves the interest of workers. whereas here in america such an exercise of authority would be unthinkable, and instead our political system empowers the people who want to raise rents and oppress the homeless. is china perfect? absolutely not. but they're a drat sight better than my country, and they seem to be trying to get even better
