Is there something confusing in that sentence? The US has already banned the export of cards above a certain speed to China. It would be simple to extend that control.
No they pretty explicitly implied the world was run by Nazis.
I said that the West has the nazi problem pretty well under control. People with explicit That's the ideology are very rare and very much taboo and very much considered bad people.
This guy comes out and says "no you have leaders who are Nazis, you don't have the problem under control"
Even today people with similar ethno-nationalist, settler-colonialist, and fascist ideology
And don't bitch about the use of the "similar" weasel word. A Nazi is a Nazi. Ethno nationalist fascism is Nazism by another name and this schmuck thinks the West is still lead by them.
We're not talking about some nuanced historical take here, we're talking about this guy trying to claim the world is run by Nazis.
Nobody in the west at any high level is running around saying that we should go exterminating all the Jews or the blue-eyed blond haired people are superior to everyone else.
Racist ass Nazi takes are incredibly unpopular and incredibly stigmatized in western culture. The facts of the United States rebuilt Japan and Germany and in the process used their existing leadership has absolutely nothing to do with that.
Actual card carrying Nazis helped build the post-war western “international rules based order.” Even today people with similar ethno-nationalist, settler-colonialist, and fascist ideology are at the highest levels of every western government,
You're just unhinged and delusional at this point. No the world isn't run by Nazis. If you think the world is run by Nazi's, whatever information and whatever worldview you have is deeply and fundamentally flawed
The fuck part of my statement did you see me saying the Holocaust isn't real?
The people we’re standing shoulder to shoulder with are Jews across the world calling for peace
Yeah, no. Some of them are maybe but there is a very definite and real undercurrent of hatred and desire to exterminate the Jews.
I've seen three actual real full blown antisemites in the wild in my life. Full blown bullshit about how Jews control the world and do magic and all sorts of conspiracy crap. All of them doing it in the name of Islam.
Western Nazis totally exist as well. But the West actually keeps them in check.
Jews will continue to live in a free Palestine
And pigs will fly from my ass. Hamas literally founded their group on the principal of getting rid of the Jews and everyone with more than two brain cells sees the writing on the wall.
It's fucking hilarious seeing communities like this who in the past have been so gung-ho about shit like punching Nazis standing next to the people who want to annihilate the Jews.
You guys don't stand for justice, you just like punching people.
I'm not talking about trademark copyright, I'm talking about the inevitable war when they finally build up their little nuclear umbrella they've been building and invades Taiwan.
Every single business with heavy investments in China is going to have those investments seized and they're going to have to write down all of those assets to zero.
However many billions of dollars all these companies have invested in China, from Apple to furniture manufacturers to Walmart to everywhere, is going to have an instant multi-million or even multi-billion dollar hit to their bottom line.
And they're going to lose access to all of that production. Going to lose access to it for at least a decade or two.
Have you missed the Republican opposition to climate change? Have you missed Republican opposition to globalization in recent years?
Those didn't come out of thin air. They come out of many towns across the country whose entire economy once relied on things like mining coal and heavy dirty industry which was all shipped out to China. They are 100% voting in favor of their jobs still.
Also remember that under socialism we are not talking about country level decisions, we are talking about factory level decisions which will largely be decided by the workers. Unless an issue becomes important enough that it becomes a nationwide issue that gets a vote for the larger popular vote, 90% of technologies are going to get trashed.
No it doesn't, historically people have literally burned down factories and assaulted those who were replacing their jobs.
There's not a factory in the world with any significant number of workers that find some new innovation that makes all those workers obsolete where the workers go "oh yeah, let's do that"
There are absolutely zero incentives for a worker too to support such a thing. If you think they're going to somehow magically vote against their own interest and act in favor of the common good no matter the situation....
What they didn't plan for was the fact that right-wing "news" has become pure Christian nationalist grievance propaganda
If they didn't expect that their head has been in the same for eons. I think this is the leadership of the company making decisions based on their environment and what investors wanted. They knew it would piss off the right. They assumed the right was irrelevant.
Which might be true in like 40 years, but for now the kids they're appealing to aren't drinking beer. Hell. The way trends are going they never will. Alcohol to my knowledge isn't nearly as popular as it was, and people see it for what it is among the younger generations.
No amount of rainbows and trans influencers will convince people to start drinking poison. But your average idiot with no sense of the consequences of their actions?
