Really shows what a joke settler ""socialism"" is. It's hilariously sad.

Zionist settlers, squatting on stolen land, receiving large govt. subsidies for doing so, living leisurely lives with little work while the untermensch (racialized migrant workers, and even racialized fellow Jews) do the bulk of the labor, live segregated and precariously with none of the benefits, in terrible conditions, and dehumanized: "is this socialism?"

You haven't done anything wrong. American hardcore liberals are genuinely the worst kind of person, perhaps even worse than the typical fascists due to their hysterical, performative, deranged faux-progressive fascism and holier-than-thou attitude, all of which combines to create a monstrosity that is incapable of relating to other human beings in a decent manner the second they are met with anything but subservient agreement.

If it helps, their antics will probably ensure that they get a place by the wall regardless of what comes next, whether it be socialism or barbarism, if they keep it up.

China's undergoing a (controlled) demolition of its real estate speculation market, returning it back to being an industry and foundation for the people, rather than finance. All the developments are still there, and the actual industry (not speculators, actual productive capabilities) will remain as well, and unlike in the west there's no mass evictions and impoverishment of the people, either.

Naturally, the west thinks this is a bad thing and a sign of collapse...

I agree, no sympathy for the NATO invaders who overthrew Ukraine's legitimate government. No sympathy for the invaders of Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Yugoslavia, Somalia, and Haiti. No sympathy for the invaders and occupiers of Palestine.

You keep fucking around, and sooner or later (likely sooner at this rate) you'll find out. Newsflash: the majority of the world hates you, and rightfully so.

Wholly uncritical, unconditional support to the Texans in their attempts to balkanize the Great Satan, just do it already! All these reactionaries are sowing are the seeds for imperialism's demise.

One thing we can all agree on, I hope, is that this technology must never, never be made accessible to the west (until imperialism as a world system is thoroughly defeated, decolonization within the imperial cores is under way, and capital is on its way out as well).

While it's just a step closer towards viable cryogenics, if such a possibility becomes available to the neocons, I don't think it's an exaggeration to say it may as well be all Joever (for the rest of humanity).

I do it for free, but I'll take Chinese citizenship if that's ever offered 🥺

It's a repeat of the US/UK's previous galaxy brained scheme of saving the world from Nazis- first they fund and arm the Nazis in the hopes they'll destroy the Soviets/Russians, and then after the Nazis turn out predictably rabid, they'll pat themselves on the back for helping (or in this case, not helping) to get rid of them while Russia does all the real work. And same as last time, the Anglos will probably funnel all those nasty little Nazis to Argentina or Canada, and to cushy jobs in NATO once again when this is all over, too..

They should be left alone unless absolutely necessary is my take on it, they're just minding their own business.

Also, retreating into complete isolation as a result of their first contact being with nasty colonial Anglos is totally understandable.

King shit. Anyone buying a word the NYT has to say about anything, is worse than braindead IMO

TBF also- the sanctions have no legitimacy on them; US unilateral sanctions are illegal, just another part of the western "rules based order" that flies in direct contradiction of all basic notions of decency and international consensus.

The ones increasingly becoming pariahs, are the west. Which is a good thing- as a Canadian I look forward to the day when all the devil cracker countries (including my own) are held to account for their crimes.

The Swedes should be grateful if anything, but I imagine their response is typical lib outrage instead. All this has shown (as always) the reality of "Nordic neutrality" though- officially NATO or not, does it matter all that much when that is considered?
