Western leftists criticizing Deng for his shitty chess moves when it turns out he was playing Go the whole time.
Under Millei, all Argentinians will be merged into a gestalt consciousness who will be a billionaire.
There are indeed a lot of shitty therapists out there. Very under regulated profession.
Nice occupation infrastructure. Shame if anything happened to it.
oppose, in the strongest terms, real-world violence of any kind
Quick, get on social media and spin this as "Amazon says ceasefire now!" and start tweeting at Amazon thanking them for condemning Israel's invasion of Gaza.
This is our chance to get the Zionazis and the capitalists to eat each other.
Oh okay we're on the same page. Thanks for clarifying comrade.
Haifa is Israel's largest port on the Mediterranean side and it's only about 50km from the Lebanese border. I wonder if Hezbollah would be able to use similar tactics to shut it down in the even Israel does the incredibly stupid and tries to fight Hezbollah.
Oh I thought you were calling the roof Koreans racists. Sorry if that's not what you meant.
Dedollarization and constant US imperial overreach are the two factors which are most likely to break US imperialism in the mid to long term.
American economic dominance is propped up by the ubiquity of the dollar in general trade as well as the Petro dollar. In general trade, more and more countries are pivoting to trading in their own currencies or Euros and Yuan and Rubles because of the destruction of confidence in the US dollar as a neutral reserve currency due to recent sanctions against Russia. In terms of the Petro dollar, the trend of decarbonization means that oil will be a less critical commodity over time and even now we see the likes of Saudi Arabia agreeing to sell oil to China in Yuan. Without US dollar dominance, America will not be able to print as many dollars to service its debts, which will lead to either inflation or debt default.
America, like the UK and France before it, doesn't have the ability to fight all of its repressed imperial subjects at once. The cracks are starting to show at the US giving up against the Houthis in Yemen. The US and EU has also pegged its military prestige to the war in Ukraine, which is also starting to turn. Not only are they taking a reputational hit with every picture of a burnt out Abrams or Leopard, but lesser US allies are also starting to see that full US support doesn't guarantee victory. Even within US policy circles there is some acknowledgement that defeat in Ukrain could lead to some sort of Suez moment for the US and NATO.
Literally a skill issue.
Honestly, just really dumb of Hoyo and the promotion company to try to sponsor someone with "4Chan" right in the name.
Posting the original Reuters link because it's very useful when sending to libs.
I absolutely despise how every single Angloid "liberal democracy" is constantly looking under its bed for Chinese influence ops but whenever an American or English op gets discovered everyone just pretends it didn't happen.
This one got innocent and vulnerable people in the Philippines killed and Marcos is still lining up the whole country to be Pacific Ukraine.
The clandestine operation has not been previously reported. It aimed to sow doubt about the safety and efficacy of vaccines and other life-saving aid that was being supplied by China, a Reuters investigation found. Through phony internet accounts meant to impersonate Filipinos, the military’s propaganda efforts morphed into an anti-vax campaign. Social media posts decried the quality of face masks, test kits and the first vaccine that would become available in the Philippines – China’s Sinovac inoculation.
Please immediately report any revisionists imploring you to "let people enjoy things" to your nearest Party Disciplinary Committee.

Chinese influencer sprays "toilet" on steele at Yasukuni War Crimes Shrine, records himself pissing on it, then flys back to China and gloats. Japanese far rightoids malding and seething, with a holocaust-denying plastic surgeon offering 10 million yen as a reward for his arrest.
It's also been reported on Westoid and Japanese media so you can search up an article if you want. Reason I'm linking to the tweet is that it has the video and all the English language news is incredibly biased (i.e. no mention of why a Chinese person might not like Yasukuni Shrine until the very last paragraph).

Dude works for the Australian National University and the Atlantic Council and can't scrape up any better dirt than "textbook girl wear pants now 😭"
Found this because there's a Westoid translation account that somehow thinks that this is a dunk on China.

Party leader doubling down on it:
Leave it to the libertarians to decry kids eating quinoa and sushi as extravagant while they feast on the finest imported American brainworms.
When Communists hold power, too often we still let libs get away with their petty obstructions and wrecking.
I don't understand this analysis. Surely it would be easier for the Americans to control and damage the Chinese economy if Xi Jinping and Chinese business leaders were typing out emails and memos on backdoored Microsoft software or iPhones. Forcing Huawei to develop their own tech via hostility means that the Chinese market is lost forever and now the American security apparatus has to deal with an opaque ecosystem they can't backdoor.
I've heard people say that the October Hamas attacks on Israel were so surprising because they were planned entirely via Chinese tech and therefore was not picked up by Zionist elint. I don't necessarily think that's true or even the only reason, but it's not an implausible example of how forcing China to make its own systems is a huge own goal.
All this hostility has just made China more and more self sufficient. I just don't see how that gives the US more leverage than a China which is completely dependent on Western tech.
