straight up Muhammad Ali saying "I ain't got no quarrel with the Vietcong" abt the Vietnam War or Nelson Mandela telling US spokespeople that "your enemies are not our enemies" when he met with Fidel. Your enemies are not who the State Dept tells you they are, your enemies are the State Dept - ThreadSky

"China is our enemy." Our enemy is the US Ruling Class and its proxies and allies, try again.

Pretty sure I'm on a list now cuz I told Mark Warner the senate has hurt me way more than China ever has.

Our kids are inheriting a world where the gap between the rich and the poor is a chasm. The dream of upward mobility is slipping away.

I mean the Vietcong wasn’t controlling a right wing propaganda app in the US

On the contrary, I suspect a Chinese-lead global order would be more benign than the current one, but that’s a whole other discussion.

I echoed that sentiment recently and it got the libs so mad (and pretty presumptuous lol)

I'm becoming convinced that the majority of people have reading comprehension issues. You said "no Chinese person" and they instantly jumped to "ermm actually the government hates you t-slurs 🤓". It'd be like me saying that Americans are genociders because their government commits genocides.

They want us to conflate the wide and varied beliefs of a populace with the actions of their government *so bad*

Which is an incredibly dumb thing to promote as an American

Only (white) Americans have agency, silly!

At this point China’s interest in economic stability is about the only hope we have for meaningful intervention. They should nationalize all Musk and Trump related assets in their country. See how much anyone cares about Elon after the lenders take back everything he collateralized with TSLA shares.
