my brother in prosperity jesus, you moved the factories over there
Funny how “The Economy” just means “Profits for rich fuck faces”
I got recommended a video from business basics yesterday about how China is currently collapsing. I looked at their video history and they’ve been doing this for a while. Each video gets over a million views. Bonkers. Literally living in a different reality
China already collapsed. The reason why they collapsed is because they secretly entrapped the earth in a holographic dome which simulates China as a country. Whenever Biden talks to Xi it’s just an AI. The whole country already collapsed and every Chinese person is dead
It’s amazing just how shameless these people are. On the other hand, I’ve come to realize this is a good thing in the grand scheme of things. The west has convinced itself that China is weak, and that stands in the way of any real mobilization to counter what China is doing on the part of the west.
On NPR today they were like “China is making so many solar panels that it’s lowering their price” implying this was bad because… 🤷
When interviewing people from Chinese industry they were like “overproduction is just a sign of a mature industry” “just innovate lol”
Remember ten years ago when massive German subsidies were the driving force behind the dropping price of solar panels globally, and western media made a fuss about it? Yeah, me neither.
It’s bad because they’ll have to start implementing their milquetoast climate change policies instead of just performatively talk about it in speeches. If China produces the required equipment then the west have run out of excuses for why they can’t even implement basic shit
China literally isn’t doing anything bad on an international level, they’re just building their economy using moderate state control, and the West can’t take it so they have to invent a new kind of “violence” China is enacting in the form of economic violence against the economies of other countries…and not for one god damn second will 99% of Americans stop to contrast the actual economic violence of US sanctions against say the Cuban people, vs the made up economic violence of Chinese downward pressure on renewable energy commodity costs. It’ll work, and my brain will keep melting
The way China has been developing (in broad strokes: state supported import substitution and resource nationalism) is exactly the way western imperialist powers developed. Yes I’m ignoring the class characteristics of this development, these are crucial as well, but just in terms of development policy China is doing something very similar to what Britain and the US did in order to develop their productive forces.
Instead of cooperating with China in the BRI, the US decided to make a western backed competitor. The initiative is primarily privatized with little state control, and so far they managed to come up with a few million (or low billions) in funding. And it’s likely abandoned because it was never talked about again after it was announced (which never even made headlines because no one cares about it).
Either they don’t give a shit, or it’s just another opportunity for the ghouls in Langley to base their hostile operations. Either way, the west continues to show that they don’t care about anyone or anything that isn’t white. It doesn’t matter if China is cynical or cunning or whatever. What matters is that they’re backing up their rhetoric and pushing their propaganda without some Chinese intelligence officer or soldier massacring a bunch of Africans to prove some stupid point.
Politics makes a lot of sense when you stop assuming the average person has any clue what’s going on.
There is a very large number of people who could not tell you, without using their phones, which party controls each chamber of Congress.
It’s either the party that will convert us into a Christian nationalist hate machine if they have even the slightest majority or the one that can’t do anything without seriously compromising across the aisle unless they have a veto-proof majority in both houses and also the presidency.
