i guess vietnam was taking the photo

that is understandable

Another pro-CCP FT article that completely overlooks the fact that US economic growth just hit a record last quarter, geopolitical rather than economic issues now dominate bilateral relations between the US and China and China’s stats have never been reliable.

Add into that the fact that China is appears to not be holding up their end of the phase one trade agreement, capital flows & their currency aren’t freely convertible making investing in RMB assets difficult and that they are threatening democratic values and US allies worldwide and this article begins to lack any semblance of credence.

between this and trump leaving his supporters in the cold multiple times, how can you not be jokerfied? hellworld manages to be horrifying and extremely funny at the same time

but I’ll be taking a libs job and feeling good about it.

yea, this is trash.

Striking is good IN AND OF ITSELF

now that i disagree with, because sometimes strikes (especially involving labor aristocracy) can actually be used and manipulated to fuck over a socialist government

example: chilean copper miners striking to fuck allende’s government

general strikes are cool tho

ew :haram:

i think poland is even more hostile to leftists than america

this age thing is true, the mtg community, where most prominent people are in their late 20s to late 30s, has very few toxic edgy streamers (i guess the worst “offender” would be deathsie, and maybe crokeyz but i don’t think our best irish fella is toxic at all)

some of their best players are also trans/non-binary, so it keeps the edgy chuds away - we actually made a bolsominion chud outright stop playing in our LGS when he made pissy comments about autumn’s PT win :chavez-salute:

we see a similar dynamic in WoW, and i also expect its audience to be a bit older (which in WoW’s case unfortunately has made the game itself worse because capitalism sucks, but that’s another matter)
