CIA synthetic left influenced people are not real leftists. oh I've been banned from that sub for making the connection between "pro covid" propaganda and the CIA and it's control over the media. they will never figure it out unfortunately.
I don't think she's up for it, you guys aren't taking into account that the US is telling countries what to do, or else they get the stick. Trump recently said SK wasn't doing their part against China. This is a CLEAR tell that these countries aren't acting on their own accord.
A lot of this isn't true. There's no cultural confusion. The CPC purposefully misinterpreted a poll for national propaganda reasons. There are no Taiwanese from a Chinese background that believe they aren't from a Chinese background.
"Why is the PLA in X country instead of liberating our compatriots in Taiwan?"
From who, the KMT? They should have done that a LONG time ago!! The CPC would have full legitimacy if they took out the KMT before they could oppress the people living in Taiwan at the time. Way too much time has passed. The people of Taiwan really have zero relation to the CPC. All the CPC arguments for why Taiwan is theirs doesn't hold up. "Taiwanese are Chinese" - I guess they own Vancouver now? Or wherever there are Chinese people."The war never ended" ok, might is right but your war was against the KMT, who are from China. That's great, continue the war against them. They're all over 80 years old now. What's the point?"Taiwanese are closer to the evil Japanese (who committed countless war crimes) than us so they are bad" I guess?"Taiwan has always been a part of China" no it hasn't. Throughout imperial Chinese history Taiwan was seen as a land of disease and barbarians and of zero use to anyone.
I am all for the returning of the stuff that the KMT stole from China AND the people of Taiwan. No I don't like the DPP and how they go along with US propaganda but the alternative is to go full Yemeni and Taiwanese are way way way too comfortable for that.
The US is trying to get its "allies" to only buy non-china or russian critical minerals this'll make their input costs even higher and products less competitive
it's kinda cool that he wrote "manufacturing consent" but he was actually manufacturing consent himself. bro is like Bernie but for people who try harder to understand things.
gold isn't crashing though. it's rapidly rebounding after falling a bit from all time highs. i dont think btc can be compared to gold anymore. Trump said the quiet part out loud by saying that he thought crypto could be used to pay down the US federal debt and I think it's ruined it's luster especially while China powers ahead in technology and the US is just sitting there funneling money into unproductive (digital) assets.
how would you know? are you having debates on vc?
