There would still be some downvotes, because some people downvote any positive news about BRICS.

It helps to check which mods are active, meaning which ones have recently made posts/comments. Otherwise your message may never be read.

I wouldn’t assume he’ll quit. He’s already got infinite money, and he and his tech multi-billionaire peers seem more interested in investing in political power nowadays.

Please don’t troll instances. Stirring inter-instance drama is corrosive to the threadiverse.

Money doesn’t always work. It usually does, but not always. Bloomberg, having made himself a symbol of corporate wealth, was a little too on the nose.

My first thought is that this may be for 1) political leverage and 2) propaganda. Leverage as a spoiler, to pressure/influence the other two parties in the election cycle. Propaganda is pretty self-explanatory, I think: getting into the news & podcaster cycles, throwing events, sending out mailers/flyers etc.

Some people (rich & poor) and interest groups/super PACs may fund it, so it won’t even have to be all his own money.

The world was already like this. What’s being destroyed is people’s false consciousness of the world, especially people in the imperial core.

A KGB spy and a CIA agent meet up in a bar for a friendly drink.

“I have to admit, I’m always so impressed by Soviet propaganda. You really know how to get people worked up,” the CIA agent says.

“Thank you,” the KGB says. “We do our best but truly, it’s nothing compared to American propaganda. Your people believe everything your state media tells them.”

The CIA agent drops his drink in shock and disgust. “Thank you friend, but you must be confused… There’s no propaganda in America.”

How do you not understand that most of us were raised under the same indoctrination and have experienced the same propaganda as everyone else here? We’re not the ones still propagandized by that upbringing, education, and media exposure. I suggest starting here to learn how to see past it.

Don’t be fooled by their seeming friendliness: they’re just trying to fatten us up.

I would ask them why they’re happy, not us.

The same Germany that is denying the genocide it is currently supporting and is suppressing anti-Zionist voices?

Some people seem to think LLMs are oracles of truth, so if you wanted to rewrite history, this is how you might try to go about it.

I can strongly say that, too, because BRICS is explicitly not trying to create a global reserve currency to replace the USD.

If you don’t understand what BRICS is, then maybe don’t make predictions about it.

“That thing that’s already over a decade old and already much larger than the G7 in terms of population, landmass, natural resources, and industrial production… Never going to happen.”

Your impression of India’s, China’s, and Russia’s relationships with each other is years behind.

I don’t know, but this Wikipedia table has population and GDP-PPP columns, so it’s easy to do the math. Note though, that Vietnam is in the subsequent table, because the page hasn’t been updated it yet.
