Multipolarity bros really need to stop fantasizing about BRICS being some sort of anti-imperialist military alliance It's just delusion, BRICS isn't a military bloc, it is about trade. It technically isn't even a trading bloc either as it is literally just a forum to discuss trade relations. If you think any member of BRICS has defense obligations to one another then you are incredibly disconnected from reality.
China obviously doesn't give af about supplanting the US as a world power. If they did they would actually do stuff internationally. There is no Chinese equivalent to NATO. All they will do in regards to Venezuelan president being kidnapped is strongly condemn it. They won't even offer PSUV any security guarantees. Literally all the Chinese government believes in is (1) trading with as many people as possible and (2) reuniting its breakaway territories. They have no ambitions beyond that. It is not true that China does business mostly with countries rejected by the Americans, but it does business with literally everyone. Chinese love to trade with everyone. While Americans media constantly criticizes China on every calling for regime change attacking their political system their leaders etc, the only time you ever hear criticism of the US on Chinese media is when the US does something that is viewed as harming trade, like the tariffs.
If you have a very noisy quantum communication channel, you can combine a second algorithm called quantum distillation with quantum teleportation to effectively bypass the quantum communication channel and send a qubit over a classical communication channel. That is the main utility I see for it. Basically, very useful for transmitting qubits over a noisy quantum network.
The people who named it "quantum teleportation" had in mind Star Trek teleporters which work by "scanning" the object, destroying it, and then beaming the scanned information to another location where it is then reconstructed.
Quantum teleportation is basically an algorithm that performs a destructive measurement (kind of like "scanning") of the quantum state of one qubit and then sends the information over a classical communication channel (could even be a beam if you wanted) to another party which can then use that information to reconstruct the quantum state on another qubit.
The point is that there is still the "beaming" step, i.e. you still have to send the measurement information over a classical channel, which cannot exceed the speed of light.
Many have worked out in the USA's favor. Not necessarily the favor of the people there. Such as Chile, the US got a pro-US puppet in there, even though he was a mass murdering fascist.
The US also sanctions countries it doesn't control, which note that sanctions does not just mean "we won't trade with you" but also "we won't trade with everyone who trades with you," meaning every country has to pick between US market or that country's market and since the US is the biggest economy in the world they all obviously pick the US, so it practically has the effect as an economic blockade on the country. General Electric for example was fined millions for selling water purifiers to Cuba to help them get clean drinking water.
Hence, sometimes the economies do indeed do better after the coup and some people use this as "proof" the totalitarian fascists were better, such as in Chile the economy did improve when Pinochet took power, but Pinochet actually kept in place a lot of the nationalizations that occurred under Allende, including the nationalization of the copper mines. It's obvious that they did better economically because the US restored normal economic relations.
But it's always a convenient excuse and it works on a lot of people. Just sanction country into poverty then blame the government for the poverty then use that as an excuse to install your own government then lift the sanctions and claim that the economic improvement is because of the new government.
The US nationalists who decry the poverty in these countries and use it to call for regime change will never never never never agree to lift the sanctions first to check if that will help them get out of poverty before intervening. They will always come up with a million and one excuses as to why we can't do that and we must try invading them first right now.
This is precisely why the US loves to balkanize big countries.
It's less that we want this but more than there isn't anything we can do. What do you expect me to do? Vote? Both parties support US imperialism. Run up to the White House with a hunting rifle and launch the revolution? They're just going to have one of their dozens of snipers shoot me and I'll be dead. I have zero options other than to just say it's bad to anyone who is willing to listen.
Obvious answer is that the USA is the world's largest economy while Russia is not, so if USA says "if you trade with Russia then you can't trade with me" then most countries will happily accept ceasing trade with Russia to remain in the US market but if Russia says the same about the USA then people would just laugh and go trade with the USA.
The only country that might have some leverage in sanctioning the US is China but China has historically had a "no allies" policy. Chinese leadership hate the idea of that because then they would feel obligated to defend them and defending another country is viewed very poorly in Chinese politics. They thus only ever form trade relations and never alliances, meaning if your country is attacked they have no obligation to you. Chinese politicians may verbally condemn the attack but they won't do anything like sanctions or even provide their own military support in return.
Bad people don't die. The more evil you absorb the longer you live. Like Kissinger living to 100.
To be honest I think it's weird to have a system where you give people a bunch of wealth only to then have the state later take it away. Why does the system work such that they get all that wealth to begin with?
Columnist likens billionaires to Jews
Maybe don't do that.
worth it
I tried to encourage fellow Linux users to just encourage one distro. It doesn't have to be a good distro, but just one the person is least likely to run into issues with and if they do, the most likely to be able to find solutions easily for their issues. Things like Ubuntu and Mint clearly fit the bill. They can then decide later if they want to change to a different one based on what they learn from using that one.
No one listened to me, because everyone wants to recommend their personal favorite distro rather than what would lead to the least problems for the user and would be the easiest to use. A person who loves PopOS will insist the person must use PopOS. A person who loves Manjaro will insist that the person must use Manjaro. Linux users like so many different distros that this just means everyone recommends something different and just make it confusing.
I gave up even bothering after awhile. Linux will never be big on desktop unless some corporation pushes a Linux-based desktop OS.
I read the first sentence and stopped. Not worth reading the rest and does not deserve an actual reply.
They never claimed to have a communist system to begin with. That is a western label placed upon them. Communist parties do not implement communist systems any more than green parties implement "green systems." They implement socialist systems.
Comparing this conflict to "manifest destiny" is just complete brainrot and doesn't make it seem like you are that interested in understanding the actual historical circumstances. This is an unresolved civil war due to the USA's invasion to protect one side of the civil war, which in China is viewed naturally as a major attack to their sovereignty so allowing a foreign power to just cut a piece of them off is viewed negatively due to the Century of Humiliation of them being carved up by foreign powers.
Both sides also agreed to the reunification of China and this "one-china policy" became internationally recognized by almost the entire world, and it was not until the year 2000 that Taiwan de facto stopped agreeing with this policy. You can make an argument that Taiwan's fairly recent desire for sovereignty should be respected without resorting to bizarre comparisons like Manifest Destiny, as this is obviously not what is going on for anyone who is intellectually honest about the situation at all.
This is not even an economic dispute and so trying to use Marxian analysis and throwing around buzzwords like "imperialism" is irrelevant. One of the biggest reasons the PRC hasn't invaded Taiwan is because they would be harmed from the destruction of TSMC, so if anything economic reasons are discouraging the PRC form acting than encouraging it. The desire for China to reunify with Taiwan is a cultural and historical disagreement, it is more of an ego thing. They view the splitting off of Hong Kong by the British, Macau by the Portuguese, and Taiwan by the USA as attacks on their national sovereignty and thus to their national pride, and have vowed to bring them all back into the fold for decades now, and Taiwan is the only one left.
It is really an ego thing more about national pride. Again, you can indeed argue that they their national pride shouldn't override Taiwan's right to self-determination, but it is not as deep as you make it out to be. If you read some of those Marxian books you would find that invasions for "imperialism" is supposed to have the goal of expanding to new markets, but China is already Taiwan's biggest trading partner by miles, they already dominate their market.
You are trying to make this way deeper than it actually is. This is about one state's ego and national pride vs another state's desire for self-determination. It is not some deep analysis over capitalism or socialism or imperialism.
We still posting "news" like it's 1921.
We can’t explain the spark of life yet
Because there is no spark of life. It's just a poetic phrase that captures the vague feeling and emotional aura around the concept of life and living things, but it's not a literal physical thing that exists that requires an explanation.
exactly
socialism or barbarism
humanity rejected socialism and now you will get barbarism
