Whats MOFI mobile wifi? It's possible to buy your own regular router, and use a mobile modem. I have a thinkpad i turned into a OpenWrt router that i tether my phone to, and then it connects to a normal wifi access point that sends the signal to my other devices. So that i can turn 5G into Wifi at home. Works quite well.
Idk if you even need to say with all due respect there. Like what even is that comment??? I'm baffled.
I can not stress enough how important and easy it is to just have your own router. Please don't use the ISP provided router its a waste of money, and a privacy nightmare. You can get a much better one for pretty cheap instead of renting one from them.
Imagine going back in time and asking Harriet Tubman if she's tried writing a strongly worded letter to plantation owners.
I'll list some books that might be interesting. Keep in mind many of these will be written from an American perspective so will have biases in how they frame information, but if your able to ignore that, and simply get the information about the US's failures from them it can be useful info.
The Afghanistan Papers: A Secret History of the War by Craig Whitlock contains info from internal US documents so take with a grain of salt, but it shows a lot of the mistakes the US made
No Good Men Among the Living: America, the Taliban, and the War through Afghan Eyes by Anand Gopal Gets into how the US's actions directly led to their own defeat by empowering the Taliban. Has a lot more actual Afghan perspective.
Kill Chain: The Rise of the High-Tech Assassins by Andrew Cockburn This one gets into how the illusion that high levels of tech will make wars easier to win is just that. an illusion. Focused more on the US's strategic errors.
Dirty Wars: The World Is a Battlefield by Jeremy Scahill This is only partially about afghanistan but gets into how special foces actions contributed to destabilization.
There can be issues if the proper regulation isnt used for sure. Like professional drivers can be poorly trained, or over worked and sleep deprived. But if someone is properly trained and has no impairments they do drive much safer in general.
Yeah that seems about right i wasnt implying they have open border just meant like the China border is quite normal. All countries have border security of some kind. And its normal to deport people who enter your country illegally back to their country of origin too. (Normal as in that's what most places do, not that its a good thing to do).
Like not counting the DMZ (Which both Korean Governments have as one of their borders.) The main barriers to a DPRK citizen trying to leave the DPRK are mostly a result of the sanctions i think. Like if someone from the DPRK gets permission from their own government to go on a vacation in France for example its not like France is going to let them. So when people say people aren't allowed to leave as if that's some dig at the DPRK its weird to me. Like they are sanctioned by most countries on Earth, and their citizens wouldn't be safe in most other countries anyway.
Like if the rest of the world was actually opening and welcoming to the DPRK and the DPRK was still like "Nobody can leave!" that would be a different story, but that clearly is not the case yknow?
I'm pretty sure they're allowed to cross into like northern China and such, but arent allowed to cross the DMZ? Not sure, but i remember hearing that somewhere. Also I've seen images of the border between China, and the DPRK and its not militarized at all. Like you wouldnt know a border is there otherwise. So if they do make people get permission I don't think it's something they care to put that much effort into enforcing except for the south.
I do know though that DPRK citizens who end up outside the DPRK and get caught by western sympathetic groups get sent to South Kora and are basically held hostage there, and not allowed to leave (unless its to go to propaganda against the DPRK).
There a documentary about it i haven't seen in ages and should probably rewatch called "Loyal Citizens of Pyonyang in Seoul." or something like that. Where they interview DPRK citizens who aren't allowed to go home but want to.
I mean Craig isnt wrong. Technically if everyone was dead there'd be no nations, poverty, sickness, or homelessness. He's just advocating for human extinction guys.
I think most people actually don't think its a bad idea at all. Which is shown by him winning the election. It's just that most people don't have a voice in the media.
How kind of them offering up their locations for the City to use like that.
So i have been thinking more and more about how stupid it was for the west to willingly deindustrialize. And ive had a realization about why they did it.
If you go back to when capitalism began to really take off a lot of the time different companies and capitalists acted very violently towards eachother. We can see how things like stocks and financial markets were used as a way to reduce inter-ruling class violence by providing an outlet for them to compete inside a legal framework they controlled. The gamification of it.
This seems to have worked for them for awhile. Allowing them to accumulate wealth at an insane rate without much risk of just being assassinated by some rival industrialist.
I think though this has ultimately poisoned their world views and will be what destroys them. In the current era rather than capitalists wealth being based on actual capital, factories, industrial output of their companies, etc. Its more and more based on market speculation. Even the ones who do own factories their wealth comes from stocks whose value is highly speculative.
They have forgotten that it is a game. They have lost touch with the material reality of power. So they willingly hand the means of production over to a communist nation in pursuit of more speculative value without realizing theyve handed the keys to the castle over to the people.
China basically joined their game, and let them feel like they were winning. Allowing them to become rich in the market while China accumulated actual wealth and power via industrial capacity. China seized the means of production without firing a single shot. Or technically, China tricked the west into handing over the means of production willingly.
I think there is now a small faction of them that realize theyre screwed. And its why your seeing so much insane behavior from empire. Its flailing about in a panic.
Because China has already won. The fight between capitalism and communism is already in its final stages, and the communists control most of global production while capitalists are incapable of catching back up.
China played them for fools. The hubris of western capitalists made them think they could simply use financial markets to control the world. They can't.
So whats going to happen now? Well the camp in the west who realize that they lost sight of reality will try to force reindustrialization. As they are now. But the majority of western liberals still dont get it. So theyll fight back to keep doing their financialized games. Sabotaging their own efforts to reindustrialize in the process. You can see this in how Trump and his goons are using tariffs to play the market or how the CHIPs act failed since the companies used the money on stock buy backs.
They are like addicts. They cant stop sabotaging their own system.
China knows this. Its why you saw Xi courting international investors recently. He was basically saying hey keep up the financial games we will make you rich. Like waving a beer in an alcoholics face when theyre trying to quit.
All this is to say, rejoice comrades, for our causes victory is all but assured. China has the west in checkmate. No matter what move they make, they will still lose. They may do lots of damage before their defeat comes, but i think that defeat itself is now a certainty.
Do not allow your own circumstances to blind you if you are in the west, or a nation controlled by it. For even if circumstances seem dire right now i think everything is going exactly to the Communist Party of Chinas plan, and their plans do not stop at Chinas borders. They will not be finished until every human being is free from capitalist oppression.
~ In 1922 a bear discovered fire. A flaming torch the bear carried for a generation. From the skies an eagle attacked, and when the bear died to its claws the world thought that flame lost. But a young dragon ate it and fled to the heavens. Today that flame is a raging inferno. Held within the mouth of that dragon. The eagle thinks it owns the skies, and all the earth below them. Soon though the dragon will descend from the heavens and the eagle will burn. ~
万岁中国!
That's really what everyone needs to do. Just stop yapping and wait to see what he does. Idk why i see so much debate on if he's good or not, or whatever. Like its NYC im just surprised they didnt vote for the predator.
