That's because it's a stupid idea blurted out by a senile old man who's just remember things talked about decades ago by other Presidents. He remembered the star wars program under Regan and here we go. At most it's a bullshit front to pump money into more nukes to aim at China. As if they ever needed to justify that before.

Either that or it's gonna be an excuse to point nukes at their own cities. Which I would t be surprised of either. If something ever comes about that jeopardizes their rule, I can see them burning it all down rather than losing control. It makes sense honestly. The more time passes the more their strategy seems to shift from winning against outside forces and more about losing in a way that keeps their power at home.

Most libertarians I know are juuuuust smart enough to get that massive corporate greed and oligarchies are the major problems with the US and that the government is tied to that but not smart enough to understand what capitalism truly is and how it truly works. Because they have that "well if everyone was a capitalist and no one group was ever able to get too powerful" bullshit. They still think capitalism is still just "I buy and sell things." And it's combined with the infantile anarkiddies ideals of "all guberment bad." So they will have these occasionally good takes where the realize the horrors and evil of capitalism but not the cause of any actual real solution against it.

Couple things.

1. As much as I support China and trust them to be the new leaders of environmental protections, unless something is done drastically to start actively filtering out these chemicals and stop putting more into the environment, I truly believe we are doomed. Insect life across the globe has plummeted. I look into my garden and the lack of insects is startling. Add the fact the US EPA regs are getting gutted, any positive movement on China's part in controlling them is about to be countered by the US increasing its pollution.

2. Micro plastics are not the same as PFAS I believe? PFAS are quite a bit worse as I understand?

3. Got.... Got a source on the blackberry/, blueberry thing? Cause that sounds dope.

4. As far as regular (non-PFAS) micro plastics are concerned, you can also rinse foods with small amounts of citrus oils to remove microplastics. Citrus "essential oils" (EOs) are like 98% d-limonene. Which is an extremely effective and volatile organic solvent. One of the best naturally occuring ones on earth. Put a drop of orange oil on a Styrofoam cup sometime and see what happens. The EOs of citrus fruit in a little water will dissolve the normally hydrophobic microplastics on vegetables (usually in the form of pesticides and herbicides. All that shit is basically different forms of plastic). Added note, this is why most cleaners and degreasers are citrus scented. It's not just for scent. It's literally part of the cleaner. It's amazing stuff. I could go on but I'll stop here. Unless anyone wants more random facts about it. lol

My retirement plan is just to die from climate change or from PFAS buildup in the environment, that literally no one on Earth can escape because it's in the god damn rain. It helps not having to worry about retirement age when you assume you won't get close to it anyway.

If they actually do rule Ukraine as performing a genocide then holy shit it's going to be amazing watching the liberals loose their fucking minds.

Meanwhile all us MLs will have to watch our smug levels. Being THIS right all that time can potentially cause deadly levels of "smug" to accumulate in the body.

Imagine seeing what China has done for its people and the members for the belt and road initiative and thinking they are worse than the US dedicating even more money to war is better. People literally just lap up all the piss from the oligarch masters.

There are so many instances of the CPC just up and forgiving debt from help they have donated to so many countries that are part of this initiative. No strings attached. The US meanwhile has being doing actual debt trap shit for decades. The information is out there. All you have to do is fucking look instead of regurgitating reddit bullshit some fed posted because that site is astroturfed to shit. China is trying to actually build up the world while the US tries to bomb more of it to rubble.

I literally went off earlier in a group chat about this very thing. Like, this is the most damning evidence against the Uyghur genocide bullshit. We have the entire Western media, the greatest propaganda machine on Earth, trying to suppress anything coming from Palestine and failing. Meanwhile we are supposed to believe China can do this to a supposedly even larger population without so much as a video inside on of these complexes? Like one dude with a smartphone doesn't exist. Nothing leaked? No videos of prisoners being dragged to organ harvesting? Nothing. Just vague bullshit and made up stories and libs gobble it up because they are the dumbest fucks on earth.

"They will never forgive us for it"

We love you too comrade.

One of the first casualties of the whole protest was an unarmed PLA officer that was tied to a bus by the protestors and burnt alive. Then mocked and photographed. They never share that photo around though.

I like that we have/need new books to re-report information that was widely known decades ago because of how easy it is to sell propaganda to the west. We have actual documentaries, made by the west at the time of Tiananmen, that completely contradicts the massacre narrative that was invented years later. lol. Libs really will believe anything as long as it comes from the mouth of some oligarch backed talking head.
