Indeed. I really didn't expect to see this. At least not this soon. Hopefully this will lead to further integration with Asia, but I still have my doubts. These spineless ghouls are likely one Trump threat away from completely backing down.
I'm all for deepening trade ties with China and the global south, but this piece seems to be advocating for abusing the declaration of a national emergency in order to steamroll any opposition to building pipelines that have the potential to cause environmental harm. I'm not even against pipelines. I recognize that we're not getting completely off oil any time soon and that pipelines on average cause less harm than other methods of transport. I do wonder if the Indiginous communities might be less opposed to pipeline construction if some form of profit sharing was offered to them. Perhaps in addition to helping them to build up their communities. The fact that many of them don't even have running water is inexcusable. You know who knows a thing or two about poverty alleviation and might be able to help with this? š¤
There's beginning to be a sliver of light when I wake up in the morning. I really don't enjoy getting up when it's still pitch black outside. Uncritical support to the sun in its struggle to rise at an earlier time. o7
I love that when asked for specifics, your response is just some vague, orientalist drivel. It's clear you've either never been to any of these places or if you have, didn't actually bother leaving the airport. You say that I'm doing immature romanticizing, but then you try and paint all of these places with a black brush. Anyone who's traveled outside of their home country will be able to tell that this is just storytelling. The world is of course, far from perfect, but it's also not the bleak dystopia you describe it as.
the vast Russian Empire.
What year do you think it is?
This is some real š¤” shit. You're either a fed or just really depressed. If it's the latter, I hope that you can get some help. Otherwise, Minecraft is waiting. I see now why everyone else here ignored you and from here on, I will be doing the same. Bye š
However, I live in a world of comparatives, not absolutes, and compared to those in the cities and especially countrysides of Russia and China, Iām incredibly free.
So presumably you've been to these places, seen their living conditions for yourself, and spoken to locals about their experience. Would you mind sharing the specifics with us all?
Under capitalism, your "freedom" has a price. That price being the every looming threat of poverty, homelessness, and ultimately resulting in death. In China, housing is a constitutional right granted to every citizen.
Call it whatever the fuck you want. It's working 100 million times better than this shit we're doing. It's lead to the most rapid increase of quality of life in human history for it's people. Do you really think they care what you think about their government not being socialist enough?
Poverty is not socialism. To uphold socialism, a socialism that is to be superior to capitalism, it is imperative first and foremost to eliminate poverty.
It's amazing what you can pull off with free labour and CIA funding. I also find it funny how that donation banner still shows up every year when they've already accumulated so much capital.
It's a real shame what's happened to Mozilla. Maybe Trump will add browser software to the list of sanctions on China and we'll end up with a Deepfox in a year or two.
They won't necessarily stop someone from sleeping on them entirely. It will certainly limit how they can be slept on. I imagine the point is to make it just uncomfortable enough for homeless people to look to sleep elsewhere. I also imagine that they would completely block these off if there was a quick and reasonably aesthetically pleasing way to do so without much cost. This is simply the compromise they've come to.
The link worked fine for me. Maybe you need to get an ad blocker or enable some of the additional filters if you already have one. You could always look up the archive yourself.
Unfortunately, I doubt that these ghouls would be found here if there was an imminent threat, such as a hurricane. You have to catch them when their guard is down. I speak of this as a hypothetical, in a video game, of course.
