He puts an ugly face a dumb head atop the empire and war crimes we always had going on.

Is he a just a social democrat? I am reading Techno Feudalism right now and he comes off as a bit further left than that to me.

293·4 months agoI lived in Shanghai from 2012-2018.
All governments are authoritarian, some things the Chinese government does is bad and some things are good. They do more for their people than the US government but it’s not a paradise by any means.
Xinjiang Ren are definitely persicuted but in Shanghai it felt similar to how black people are treated in the US. Different, but similar. I don’t know about genocide so I won’t speak to it but I heard they felt they were being heavily survailed.
Living in China has its challenges but there were things to like to. It’s fair to say the ccp are better global actors in the past century than the US.
There isn’t really free speech in China. With Cia funded color revolutions being a thing I’m beginning to doubt if countries can afford being open and liberal without an existential threat looming, but that’s a dialectic for another time.
US is definitely worse. The main reason I moved back is my Chinese sucks and they were becoming more insular so it was harder to find work. Also the pollution and the crowds and abrasive culture were wearing me down. But I got a tooth removed for about $50 there. In the US with insurance I’d be out of pocket a couple hundred. Scam of a country we have.
Was that real?
I’ve heard so many times from the zionists that being anti zionist was anti semetic so I had to read this like 4 times before my brain would let me comprehend it correctly.
When did they deport the gazans?
It’s easy to take the piss out of magaheads cause obviously they were being swindled by a person and ideology that in no way threatens power and it’s fun too. Wait… what was the point I was trying to make? Oh yeah, some of them will be disillusioned with the growing amount of contradictions and the left will can organize and pick some folks up, which would be neat. I don’t know though, I’m not an organizer, just a shittalker online. so… yeah.
The American system isn’t even that fast. Unless you spend like a shit ton of monies.
Me: Supports Palestinians, absolutely yes.
Supports Russia? I feel like I understand their geopolitical situation more than the average MSNBC viewer and appreciate their massive restraint they’ve conducted themselves with from committing war crimes while achieving their military goals (largely self defense from NATO encroachment). I’d prefer the war ends with Russia maintaining control over Donbas and Crimea without too much retribution against the Ukrainian people since they are largely the victims of the Nazi regime the US installed… Oh yeah, and the denazification of Ukraine with a neutral government and the removal of black rock would be nice… I wouldn’t define that as supporting Russia but it certainly puts me a little on the right of the Y axis line I suppose.
