I’m interested to see how the Niger and Mali feel in regards to this decision and if they’re planning to something similar at some point.

Holy shit that was hilarious. Everytime u thought the article couldn’t get funnier it reveals some new level of incoherence. My favorite part might be a section early on where Rudd’s genius epiphany is that the CPC is just telling the truth about what it believes and what it’s trying to do… and this is bad for some reason.

It also hilariously brings up the fact that China is trying its best to not get into a war with the US, but does nothing to comment on the fact that they just charecterized the US as unquestionably the aggressive actor, going on to speculate about China’s nefarious plans.

Hilarious read, thanks you for this, it’s absurdly entertaining.

I despise liberals for their racism more then anything. I know where I stand with a Trump Supporter or your average European Nazi. They hate Muslims and make it known. They don’t pester about us hating them back, they get that it’s a mutual understanding.

But liberals… they will aay the most fascist shit to you either through dogwhistles or with the mask off, yet get infuriatingly whiney about being confronted. They will support the same shit as the far right or at least refuse to address a core concern which essentially does the same thing, but if I call them bigots they become insufferable.

The smug self importance is significantly more insulting then the far right’s staunch anti-intellucrualism. The person who believes reading a book will turn him gay isn’t exactly boasting about his intellectual superiority. The college educated man-child whose never critically engaged with a piece of political theory beyond an ideologues biography, somehow believes himself to be a the resurrection of Socrates, and that delusion is unacceptably grating.

Iirc, at least according to this, China is attempting to be a cultural power by 2035. I reckon that in undertaking this goal, some if the things you’ve mentioned might be getting addressed in the near future.

Of course these are just plans and statements for now, but I have trust in the PRC to fulfill its goals as they have steadily in the past decade.

But I thought…

This goes harder than it should

I had an 8th grade history teacher who called me captain cr*pple the first day of class when I walked in on crutches…

Ironically I actually quite enjoyed his class and still have a deep live for learning history. If I wasn’t concerned with financial viability and helping my parents after I finish my studies I’d probably be a history major.

The trajectory of life really is quite a funny thing when you look back on it.

I’ve yet to see a reason to not just support magneto over the Professor X. Perhaps I’m just ignorant of comics, but Matneto seems to have a point that the threat to mutantkind is humanity, and mutants have a right to self defense.

Just went on a mini study tour and had no idea that the first nuclear plant was built in the USSR. Of course my nuclear engineering education failed to mention that, only discussing the atom bomb and the EBR-1.

The Soveits get mocked at any mention and it grates me endlessly because I’ve not had the time to dive into how my field was used in the USSR. If anyone had resources for me to start I’d appreciate it. Research articles are welcome, I’d like to see if there’s any unique designs I’ve yet to see.

I hope that the AES can be a bastion of anti-imperialism and prosperity on the African continent, and that it eventually grows into a United African Federation.

Sankara was extremely accomplished for the relatively short time he had in power, his biggest mistake was underestimating the imperialists, which it seems Traoré has learned from.

I personally believe that the Sahel states will become a much larger player within the anti-imperialist movement then anyone expects. Within a decade I believe people in the west will be blindsided by their rise, similar to China the last two decades.
