The tiger was not an ok design. It was downright horrifically awful. There's a 5,000 number long list with its faults and failures. There's a reason that Germany ceased production of it after a year, it was basically already obsolete by the time it was deployed.

Exactly. He despised jazz and black Americans. That cultural permeation of tap dancing still remains to this day in fact.

Porsche made Nazi tank designs that were so laughably bad that they were accused of sabotage and treason. I.E the Ferdinand.

They weren’t really, they were just that dogshit at making tanks.

He was most definitely a Nazi

Don’t forget that he made like 5,000 alts, and definitely still uses Lemmy out of spite.

The more I look into Li, the more I’m worried. He seems like a disastrous figure, a Chinese Gorbachev for lack of better words.

A free market, billionaire bootlicking, Neo classical economics, free trade, no regulation, warhawk neo liberal.

He is everything that liberals claim Xi is, and the western media is overjoyed at the prospect of Li’s leadership. This seems extremely dangerous.

More liberal and more of a warhawk, but I wouldn’t say he’s overtly reactionary from what I’ve seen. He is your typical “free market, no government interference”. He wants to ease regulations, and has friends in high places like international investment bankers, billionaires like Jack Ma, the Apple and bridgewater CEO’s, and foreign organizations.

He’s a potentially dangerous figure, but he’s also extremely enigmatic with his policies and beliefs, so it’s hard to pin down exactly what his end goals are, or what a lot of his beliefs are.

I do not have a good feeling about him, he seems to be everything that liberals say Xi is. Which is nothing good.

I agree with all your points, but I will say that I was referring to a power vacuum in the Politburo itself. A power vacuum caused by many members simultaneously dying, becoming too old to serve effectively, or retiring, might cause a power vacuum which might allow less then qualified or politically nebulous figures to get a foothold in the leadership. Basically what happened in the Soviet Union in the 1980's.

There are many Chinese news agencies, government agencies, and bloggers that also hold English speaking channels and sites. Reading directly from the source is also very good and is an effective way to build your own opinion, but the most important thing is comparing a variety of sources to see what is corroborated. Chinese government sources, Chinese news, Russian news, bloggers, American news, various political analysts across the globe and so on. Everyone has their own bias which is unavoidable, so you have to sift through it all to put together the bigger picture, and you can never take anything at face value.

Basically, even if you don't speak Mandarin, many Chinese sources will have English translations, and even a basic "site translate" built into a service like google chrome is better then nothing.

Is there a particular reason you say that for Qiang? I haven't seen much about him that isn't extremely neutral reporting, so I'm just wondering if there's something I'm missing.

Also while it is a prestigious position, it seems like it is high time to appoint people to the politburo who are in the 30-50 range. The current leadership is quickly aging, and they need to begin setting up, preparing, and training a new generation. A power vacuum would be disastrous, and appointing people in their late 50's early 60's is just postponing the issue by a few years.

I feel like 75-80 is pushing it significantly. Realistically the maximum is probably going to be within 2-5, as Xi is still subject to human aging and mental deterioration, and neither he nor the politburo would want a Trump/Biden situation with a decrepit leader.

Chen would conquer the world over the course of a week maximum. He would melt all twitter, Facebook, and reddit user's brains till the western population is a paltry shadow of its former self.

But thank you for the insight! I was also thinking Li Qiang, as he seems to be in the most applicable position to take Xi's place, and he has been making strong moves, and in turn drawing attention in the public and international eye. I was unsure due to his age, and overall policies which he hasn't brought to the forefront very much.

I'm very iffy on Wang though, he seems to be much more comfortable and applicable as a political theorist, "commissar" and bureaucrat, so I'm very unsure he'd even want a position like Premier, or do very well as one. Much more a writer then a leader.

You know nothing, it must be difficult as a 15 year old Western kid to think you can speak for Eastern Europeans.

Best case scenario you’re Polish or Hungarian, and have guzzled stories from your fascist grandparents about the horrors of the Union.

Having worked at a bank, the amount of porn and OnlyFans they buy is astronomically insane.

Lemmygrad is down every 7 minutes it seems

Either term is considered acceptable apparently, as the material is still the same. Basically a homeless vs houseless debate.

But I hadn’t heard that term before! Thanks for telling me.

Heyo! Happy to have you join!

The book is very certain because Heinlein modeled the “bugs” after the Chinese in the Korean War with the descriptions of the bugs basically bieng racial epithets, and the book is basically Nazi porn of Aryans killing “savage, communal, communist bugs”. He has stated this himself in interviews, and during the time he wrote the book he was part of several Nazi rehabilitation groups.

The classrooms scenes could also practically be replaced with several chapters from Mien Kampf, and the book wouldn’t be any different.

Direct quote from the book:

“Every time we killed a thousand Bugs at a cost of one M. I. it was a net victory for the Bugs. We were learning, expensively, just how efficient a total communism can be when used by a people actually adapted to it by evolution; the Bug commissars didn’t care any more about expending soldiers than we cared about expending ammo. Perhaps we could have figured this out about the Bugs by noting the grief the Chinese Hegemony gave the Russo- Anglo- American Alliance; however the trouble with "lessons from history" is that we usually read them best after falling flat on our chins.”

The book was actually problematic and praised fascism, anti-communism, and militarism. Only the movie was the satirical piece. It’s because the director read the book, and because he grew up in Nazi-occupied Holland, he was disgusted and decided to satirize it as much as possible as a joke.

PTO? In this country? We run on American blood hoorah, we don’t need no commie “PTO”.

I haven’t seen my family in months.
