The future of liberalism in the US is going to be liberal nationalism based around “We’ve fallen behind China, that’s not capitalism’s fault it’s Trump and the Republicans’ fault”.
Blue maga under the “restore US hegemony” liberal banner rather than the “RETVRN” fascist banner.
This would be illegal in the EU.
I genuinely don’t think commieblocks are ugly at all
i really like China’s ones, they’re fine when well maintained and well painted.
Key takeaway, it doesn’t matter if CH is riddled with criminals and scandals (here and here), anti-immigration and anti-migrant discourse has become VERY powerful in this country, so much that even the PSD and PS took it up in this election, with southeast asian and romani people being the key targets.
This is what has happened in the UK also but with more vague targets, it is the reason Reform are going to win the next election.
Not just soup is water based. Stew too!
Reportedly, rumour, gossip, grapevine, super secret except everyone seems to know about it and he doesn’t deny it.
The rumour says it’s coming “definitely in the next 12 months” because it’ll need local election results in the next one if it’s going to have any results for legitimacy going into the next national election to fight Reform. The only window is now.
skaya
I would also have accepted “ski”
They are shit fucking scared of the new left wing party Corbyn is building and this is a pre-emptive reaction to it. They know it’s coming within the next 12 months.
If you thought the media was insane last time Corbyn was a threat it’s going to get absolutely wild.
The geography of the two voter distribution of the two that won is interesting. Country is geographically divided down the middle politically.
90% of the english people that say this shit couldn’t tell you what the IRA was fighting for, why they existed or anything about the history of the matter beyond “catholics and protestants didn’t like each other innit they’re always fighting, terrorism is bad”.
They just see “terrorism bad” and that’s it. No other thoughts. No other knowledge. Genuinely the cognitive understanding of a toddler.
Oden’s backstory is worth it just for the power level they all have.
I like Sachs he gets a lot of stuff right.
I don’t know about this but I would not rule him out. He’s not one of us, but he’s not awful.
the people coming up with the anti-China propaganda are all True Believers in the system and so can’t actually make shit up the way their forebears could 30-40 years earlier.
Most likely true. Many of them do not recognise that they are lies, they actually believe the propaganda.
If you actually believe the propaganda and don’t realise it’s made up then you don’t realise that you need to make up new propaganda.
They were much better off creating well educated true believers in capitalist ideology, when they destroyed education and used media to turn everyone into believing in nothing they set this path in motion.
With the crowd on this server I literally couldn’t say a word about China before without getting winnie the pooh authoritarian bazinga shit in response. I would have been crucified then if I said the things I now say about China openly. Exactly the same people, the only thing that has changed is their own attitudes and behaviours. They are definitely shifting.
Lgbt people that are currently experiencing regression in the west and have no hope for the future are extremely open to hearing that lgbt issues are progressive over there and that the Chinese community will likely be a leader on these issues eventually.
Climate change people are extremely easy to pull around to “China good”, probably the easiest.
American Liberals like China standing up to US.
European Liberals like China standing up to US and repeatedly say “we need to be closer and trade more”.
China is winning the propaganda war on every single front. The west has zero positive ground to stand on anymore and it’s so easy.
Even Chinaphile nationalist content can get upvotes in baby-left leaning spaces. Won’t be number one in those spaces but it won’t be sent to oblivion either.
Don’t get me started on tiktok, while comment sections are generally mixed (i do not understand how comment section algo even works) the videos themselves are being massively liked and spread very far.
Honestly I really enjoyed Wano too once it heated up they just dwell on it for sooooo long because obviously it’s a japanese show and they’re doing feudal Japan. Some of it drags though, there’s just such a long period of preparation for revolution.
so you should buy an overpriced Apple product instead!
Which is literally manufactured by the Chinese anyway so if they wanted they could do it to that too. They don’t, because it’s not good business sense, but they could!
I sure am glad this propaganda is so blatant and openly racist that anyone could immediately spot it for what it is and not fall for it, right?
Someone on a (non marxist) server I’m on brought it up when I mentioned China. Fortunately 100% of the other people online all saw through it immediately and I think they also started to see it as sus also. The issue is that people simply trust news outlets, they do not think they would print something untrue or something that is blatant propaganda. People are deeply naive and gullible, most generally good people think society is running sensibly and fairly. Being critical of new outlets is not normalised.
Fortunately at the current moment China is actually getting widespread popular support because of Trump. The current atmosphere is very good for us.
Hang in there you’re only 129 episodes away from being up to date and having to painfully wait for more!
It’s so funny saying “only 129” episodes lmao but in the context it’s true.
The UK says this while literally doing the reconnaissance flights and target designation.
