play stupid games, win stupid prizes

Given how fragile the political situation in the west is already, I can't imagine that further austerity to fund more wars is going to go down well.

yup

I mean it's not like all these problems just magically appeared in the past few months. The proxy war Biden's been running over the past three years certainly played a role here.

it's not B

As Ukraine continues to battle against Russia’s ammunition production superiority, the country has been left exposed to the ruthless vagaries of the international weapons market. In several cases Kyiv paid out large amounts in advance to little-known companies for materiel that to this day has never arrived. In other cases officials say that weapons sold at vastly inflated prices as global demand soared — the arms industry equivalent of surge pricing — arrived in an unusable condition.

The working solution is Marxism, that's the antidote to capitalism and the ideologies that prop it up.

I agree with that, Liberalism as an ideology exists to justify capitalist relations and protect property rights. The mistake people make is in thinking that Liberalism is somehow progressive to begin with.

In practice, it’s like a coin with two very different sides. On one face, you’ve got political liberalism that’s all about individual freedoms, fair elections, and human rights. This is the feel-good stuff that's used to market Liberalism and make it seem universally appealing.

But flip that coin over and you get economic liberalism, which is really just capitalism wearing a fancy philosophical mask. This side worships markets, treats private property as sacred, and assumes wealth accumulation is basically a human right. Since property rights are seen as the foundation of all other freedoms, the system effectively locks in wealth inequality by making redistribution seem like theft.

That’s why liberals lose their minds whenever governments impinge on the rights of the rich or regulate corporations. In their worldview, any limit on property rights is a threat to freedom itself.

I thought this was a great take on the whole thing

I mean the core of HarmonyOS is open source already https://www.openharmony.cn/

It's understandable why they want to have control over the full hardware and software stack. You get a lot of benefits from optimizing the software specifically for the hardware you have. This also allows them to make the software leaner avoiding bloat and legacy cruft.

Is EU really going to put 500% tariffs on China and India given they're the main importers of Russian oil? 🤔

That bill would impose tariffs of 500% on countries that imported Russian oil, Barrot said.

I do hope they open source the whole thing at some point.

Similarly, HarmonyOS has diverged from Android to the point of not being compatible either. It's really its own thing now.

Except Japan and occupied Korea did not follow the same path, meanwhile Taiwan is not a country.

I mean... not false

why not?
