  • Taiwan to simulate Chinese invasion in major drill

  • Not cutting out the US doesn't matter if it has nothing to offer other than Nancy Pelosi lol. I'll have to look into polling more later but it's not the whole basis of what I'm talking about, rather the lack of hostilities and the economic crosslinking with the mainland. There's a reason the US is frantic to push for a war it can't have, they can't provide any alternative system long-term even if they're included

  • The Euros on here are crazy, over on dbzero Germans are trying to convince me that it was good for their green revolution to destroy their nuclear power, destroy their largest source of fossil fuels, and that evil Russians destroyed their green industrial capacity and made them sanction China's green industry

  • Here I'll ping you when I pull it up and make a full post about it, I really only do nude links through the share button and arguing on my phone lol. Polls are funny it really depends on what questions you ask people, and who you ask

    Think of it this way, who in Taiwan is ready to go without the mainland economy? Who is ready for war? Who believes the US will be more reliable in the future? Would be better to support it with data but I am lazy. Those who want to maintain a separate system for Taiwan see the mainland as a better partner than the US, and long term hardliners' fears of reunification will be realized in the political situation that develops out of the new Pacific centered around China rather than the US, as finance adjusts to recognize it

  • Well most of Taiwan is ready to unify, it's mostly the ruling class propped up by the US opposed to it. With the issues they have created for Taiwanese semiconductor companies there are probably even former loyalists ready to turn tail and run.

    It's really the US - which can only dream of a war across the Pacific now - which wants a military confrontation. Mainland China will become too lucrative for Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea to ignore the more the US financial stranglehold starts to slip & China develops. Peaceful reunification is inevitable and war is merely possible now

  • No it's not! I hope you can see that uninhibited unlawful access by multinational media & telecom companies is exactly what leads to the establishment of comprador figures like Bolsonaro, who dislike Telesur's politics.

    I'm actually glad you've raised this, as it helps me develop my thoughts on social libertarian left tech activism & its limitations. One of its dubious accomplishments is watering down the wrongs done by the US & allied governments with pop social science into generic anti-authoritarian rhetoric, and opposing actions by neo-colonized countries which limit foreign soft power + capital

  • I'm the one spinning fairy tales?? You're telling me that these companies aren't already blocking people in accordance with their own policies shaped by those very organizations? I just think there is a misunderstanding here, because Bolsonaro would never do anything like this but you're reframing it as a win for him.

    I sure hope nobody thinks of Brazil as a magic kingdom where only good things happening. For the govt there to actually grow a backbone and limit the influence of the orgs that are encouraging their petit boug to be little pro-US Evangelical nightmare beings would ve fantastic. The dominance of US tech & media is very very bad and other countries need actual sovereignty (like enforcing their laws on multinational companies and not legalizing their activities - at a bare minimum, as relying on them at all is a result of being deliberately underdeveloped)

    These companies are very entwined with US state power it's imperialism and the privatization of the state that is an issue not third world sovereignty itself

  • Telesur is not going to get censored by Brazilian law lmao, if platforms did that it would be a reprisal for being made to follow Brazilian law.

    There is no good argument for the US oligarchy to get final say over the govts of the countries using their services, but this is even crazier to say when US platforms are littered with mysteriously unmoderated Nazi content. Get real?

  • Did you read the article? Be honest with me. Because nobody who attentively read the article would think this is a new censorship regime, rather than foreign tech monopolies being asked to follow the law. You're siding with Elon Musk now?

  • How to deal with the proletarianization of the US is an intimidating subject that communists basically have to tread into completely alone, it's hard work, there is no alt media or quirked up social science journal that can chart the course. Putting the escape hatch issue to bed should be a lot easier than that

  • Hey can't let the Trump people be the only ones doing it 😄

    I am astonished nobody knew moving to China is like literally impossible until Trump got elected and they panicked

    Also respect to the mods for not letting me be mean to people I always regret it if it works anyways

  • Working on a thing about this I will tag you when I post it. It relates to the current discourse about the labor aristocracy: worker politics in the imperial core are just about gaining faster access to the housing market 90% of the time without any regard for immigrants, the under- & unemployed, and without any considerstion at all of the global periphery. When there are reverse transplants from the core to the periphery (instead of petit boug in the periphery making enough money to come to the US) it's done in a way where people exploit currency exchange rates to live without working the rest of their lives. (So becoming more bourgeois is almost always a retirement goal for core workers)

    So this will be a guide for how not to be a shitty expat and actually integrate
