dk2m posted:the US is and continues to be explicitly against development of the the broader world and that includes Europe. the US is fundamentally extractive, as it uses its exorbitant privilege only for its benefit, and any incidental development that occured in places like Germany and Japan will always be temporary - destorying Japan via the Plaza Accords and then attacking Nordstream to cut Germany's energy indepedence is due to American policy, nothing else. There's a reason why latin american continues to be underdeveloped and leftist politicians are routinely assasinated or undercut by US policy. Not only that, but having veto power in every single international agency makes it useless to even call them international ones. They are US institutions set up to serve US interests. quote:i reject that a bloc has to be "controlled" in this same fashion to work in its member states benefit - there's nothing inherent about international finance that stipulates extractiveness. this needs to be tested, but this war is the first hint that over the next few decades, viable mechanisms of international settlement can be achieved without involving the US system at all and being beneficial to all member states without western style exploitation. you're arguing that the future will consist of states acting in the same fashion as the US, but you're basing it off of historical examples of how the west has treated the world since the 1500s. for the first time, an asian country in hundreds of years that operates under completely different principles can withstand the shocks the US could impose on it - imposing the same behavior on them without looking at how they're operating seems very short sighted and a false equivalence. The american response to Ukraine is both to keep russia engaged while making sure the European satellites remain locked into the US system and not defect to where the growth is - that is eurasia.

Anyway as far as the tweet that got posted (and the dude got banned for), why are there just a sizzle reel of a couple exploded vehicles if the Russians are taking such massive local losses?

Doing the mass murder yourself is preferable to uncertainty? Leadership is hard so lets do it horrendously rather than abdicate?

every human is like me. every society is like mine all across history. The Soviets did tankodomor and China stole Nemo from his family and built an island on top of SpongeBob’s house. I am a True Communist in support of actually unexistant socialism. If only you silly tankies had half the brain power I have at disposal, but alas… Any questions?

The US building military bases across the world to position knives at the throats of would be rivals, launching coups if necessary to extract concessions, is exactly equivalent to China fortifying its borders against the most insanely aggressive nation on Earth which has openly declared China to be a priority enemy. Thanks for the insight.

suck my woke dick posted:indeed it did not Humans acted differently because the material circumstances were different. Which is precisely why once the US empire is toppled, which requires a changed material circumstance, and whatever new world order will arise from that out of different countries, each also already containing within them in the present day different material circumstances, will lead to different outcomes. You idiot, you moron, you absolute buffoon. The point of Rome didn't have robots isn't that "if Rome had robots they'd be just like the US". The point is "if Rome had robots it wouldn't have been Rome".

You idiot, you moron, you absolute buffoon. if you wanted to make that point without being a weird obsessive, you'd make the point that we need to change material conditions (plus build political power to make use of those conditions), which happens to involve the end of America being #1. not that America being #1 is special and present it like it's the only thing that needs to change

it's actually really simple, for things to change you must first get rid of the thing that is spending trillions of dollars in materiel and murder to prevent things from changing after that things might get better. they also might not, but the impossibility of change in current order makes better things impossible
