  • I feel like asking whether you were born yesterday. Have you not seen any anti-AES propaganda, or the rounds Western MSM make when they're pushing some anti-AES horseshit? It's always innuendos, insinuations, half-truths and fabrications that were corrected by the text itself or its sources, but the intention is that the liberal audience doesn't think sufficiently deeply to realise the insinuations have no basis or that they don't read long enough to see the part of the article counter to the headline.

    If you think there's nothing to think about, ask yourself this: Why mention "Chinese-made" in the lead? The average article regarding other conflicts doesn't mention where the weapons come from, doubly so for the Zionist entity since most of their weapons are Usian. What's different here?

  • I did a search on him limited to results before this week, this is from the second link:

    In 1999, Prevost took over the Midwestern Province of the Order of Saint Augustine.

    He oversaw St. Rita of Cascia H.S. in Chicago's Ashburn neighborhood as well as St. Jude parish and Providence Catholic High School in New Lenox, where school president Rev. Richard McGrath reported to Prevost.

    McGrath was forced out of his position in 2017, after a Providence student reported seeing a nude image of a boy on his cell phone while he watched a wrestling match. He was later accused of sexual abuse by a former Providence student. The Midwestern Province paid $2 million in 2023 to settle the case.

  • This is not a case of Trump having done bad things and Biden doing nothing. An analogue is if trump were firing a minigun on a bunch of people, he left office, Biden took over and resumed firing.

    Also, sanctions by the richest country in history need to be proven to have adverse effects on the imposed in the same way the theory of gravity needs to be proven again: only flat earth type loonies need it so it's merely an exercise, not an academic necessity.

  • The commies are proven right every damn time. It's like we've got some sort of clairvoyance.

    In the sense of being new information, this isn't news. Israel wanting to decimate the population of Gaza isn't news. There being US-backed nazis in the Ukraine wasn't news, nor was Zelesky beinga puppet who'd destroy his country, the US wanting war with Russia, there not being a genocide in Xinjiang, Iraq not having WMDs, Saddam not being behing 9/11 and so on and so on.

  • So your twitter said this and it got 3 people malding

    We are a collaborative encyclopedia with editors from literally all over the world and that's exactly what makes us strong and have the correct line on every issue.

    There's this faux-humility I see basically everywhere, which leads people to call a sentence like this arrogant. It's literally not though, even if it weren't true. Who the hell believes in something they know to be false? One may ponder something and realise they believe it for no rational reason, but for one thing people don't keep a list of stuff they aren't sure about that they refuse to learn further, for another this is an encyclopedia, it's expected that they check something before they publish and yes, be right on every issue.

  • I'm sure many were just as hopeful in the 50s and to some extent into the 60s. A proper socialist bloc forming, the USSR making friends and allies all around, imperialists resorting to lying, distortions and hypocricy to retain their power. The US is on the brink of societal collapse due to the contradictions of its racial policies, colonies breaking their shackles and so on.

    I'm not saying the things you've lissted aren't supposed to give you hope, but they're not supposed to give false hope. In 2020 the US went through an extreme economic instability and through a pittance to the common folk and a media campaign they survived without a hitch. They aren't collapsing any more than they were in the decade prior, they're merely deteriorating at pace. Same story in europe.

    BRICS and multipolarity are similar in that respect. These are saplings that were planted decades ago and will bear fruit in the coming decades, not a unified socialist bloc that can act together rhe next day, or even the next year. Best case scenario in the short term is that we'll see them rejection western advances and demands while reducing conflicts between each other in small steps year by year.

    I'll admit, one thing that gives me genuine, short-term hope is the developments in Niger and Gabon, on top of Mali and Burkina Faso of course. I wish to see a domino effect in other neo-colonies. I'm doubtful, yet living in hope.

  • The hook could be better, here's an idea:

    In Capitalist Usia, conformism is valued above all else. Although they espouse the virtues of private property, agents of "HOA" scour neighbourhoods and kick people out of their homes if their lawn doesn't meet the specific criteria of the area.

  • The west was still getting a good deal out of China 15 years ago, so they were walking the same tightrope as with the dictatorships they backed: circulating enough bad facts about them, true or false, without riling the people up too much, lest they demand action be taken against them.

    What's amazing about the current coverage is how they've mastered the big lie. Bourgeois information control is so great that people don't think twice about the most ludicrous claims about China, Russia etc unless they've already got gripes about the capitalist system they live under.

  • https://gisgeography.com/us-temperature-map/

    The maps don't bear out a lot of places with that sort of a temperature variety. Even they it did, -10⁰C and 40⁰C are just outside the norm for many steppe climates (an example off the top of my head), and there are whole cities of concrete in steppe climate regions.

    Wood lasting centuries is even less credible, since wood can't last decades. Buildings can last in a ship of theseus sense, but the wood itself breaks down for all manner of reasons.

  • If my neighbours were surrounding me, digging up trenches and setting up gun nests, I'd want them to stop expanding too.

    If NATO isn't an offensive alliance meant to contain Russia, why did they refuse Russia's entry in early 2000s, when there was no anti-west posture?
