  • Chinese social media hails Trump's Maduro move as Taiwan template

    Jump

  • Taiwan will scuttle their microchip fabs before letting China take over. Unless China have infiltrated and taken over the fabs and secured them from destruction, there's far less economic value in invading Taiwan.

    Chinas chip fabrication is advancing quickly. So assuming Taiwan remains strong and doesn't get infiltrated, we won't see an invasion until China is confident it doesn't need Taiwanese chips for its own technology. Then, it'll just be about politics and having more of the coast line and trade routes secured, not the fabs.

    I reckon there's at least a few more years before they will take Taiwan by force. Time for international relationships to change for the better...

  • And kids. They want every unwanted child to be forced into the world, regardless of the life they will enter. I guess most of the abandoned ones would be raised in horrific church-run foster care halls in the past. Gotta maintain the supply of easily indoctrinated followers and labourers.

  • Trump launches ‘large-scale’ attack on Venezuela, captures Nicolas Maduro and wife

    Jump

  • Thanks for the additional context.

    It is of course about all supposed benefits to the US of economic colonisation.

    The rare earth component seems less known. Articles like this may shed some light.

  • The anti-war FIFA peace prize winner just started a war to liberate Venezuela from imaginary drug lords, whose imaginary drug traffickers were systematically murdered as a pretense, for what is actually a ploy to avoid having to negotiate a deal with China for rare earth minerals because they're too expensive now thanks to tarrifs he imposed.

    I don't think this is real life anymore. It's more absurd than any media storyline I'm aware of outside of drug trip movies.

  • Just a small loan of some God given bodily assets, a touch of charisma, and probably not at risk of being homeless if drops out of education and becomes an adult with no other tangible skills. Also we only see the 1% of the 1% who succeed. For all of them I expect many ended up in actual porn or at least OnlyFans.

    I'm fun at parties.

  • Trump did heaps of terrible shit before and during his first presidency. The algorithmic internet and the laziness of mainstream media to report social media trends as news, instead of doing real journalism, are basically why we're here.

  • The work I do is more important than bureaucratic bullshit. Basically the opposite of this meme, for which I'm very thankful. It's the executives and board members whose turnover is comparatively absurd.

  • When cornered though something something excesses of ism.

    Trans issues is the big one because the reality is so counterintuitive that even renoun internet celebrity scientists utterly fail to engage with the actual research.

    I even feel compelled to stress that yes the science supports the need for unequivocal acceptance of trans people.

  • Indeed. Mostly because of starting, enabling or continuing the various unnecessary armed conflicts in the world right now.

  • I've never experienced less angst than here on Lemmy honestly, and mostly good faith disagreement.

    Reddit is still bad faith capital of the internet, at least where people first sound like they're worth arguing with. I haven't touched a conversation anywhere else in years though.
