Look at positions that oppose your and try to see the merits of them put yourself in the shoes of a diverging point and on those shoes you’ll probably find an issue with your own point, even if the shoes you wore to do so were wrong as sin, changing the perspective helps.

Other than that I think that the constant balancing of conviction on your position to the point of acting on it but humility to recognize that it could be wrong, and strength to correct course when you realize it’s wrong. This last part, to internalize that you might change part of your beliefs and if so pivot to the new one with the same conviction as before, this point is important, because once you accept it as a possibility and realize that its not reason for shame, you become less prone to holding on to dear life on an outdated or incomplete view. Those are all hard things to do but I believe it’s through there.

Assuming that its not complete nonesense I could totally see the scientist chuckling a bit and saying that guy Biden is acting just like that Havana syndrome nonsense that people talked. And the ex KGB guy says Biden made the scientist think of the Havana syndrome

That’s quite interesting, about the semiconductor impact on the weapon industry, but I wonder about where does the steel, the chemicals and all that stuff, would that work without mainland China, never mind Taiwan

Nice piece but it misled me, thought it was about current events

That’s fair but one question that pops in my mind often is does the US military complex work at all without China’s exports?

Is there anything in the US that is not basically a dumpster fire right now?

I was curious to see where my debate with the individual would end up. It was a load of nonsense but I wanted to see which arguments he’d use next. Don’t oppose the band, but I do regret the lack of the entertainment I was to have to see them defend the undefensible

I’m impressed with how strongly people feel about this, I see that loosing ports is not nice, but USBC is dope as hell and in my eyes that makes up for a lot of the loss of of I/o, not the headphone Jack though, that one hurts a lot.

You are throwing empty claims, which war China funded? How is what China doing in any material way compared with the warmongering history of the US, you are throwing a false equivalence here, of the most egregious, I do understand not considering China an ally, is not necessarily my opinion, but I get it, but bunching them up with the US and saying they’re just as bad, is again exceedingly naïve in my opinion.

But you are lumping together very dissimilar things, like saying that a mass murderer and a thief, neither are innocent technically, and you saying that they are both the same is a misguided perspective. To say that China is just as bad as the US, is more than naïve, you may believe that China is not the role model for us to follow, for sure that’s a very reasonable perspective, but claiming that there is no improvement by changing the world’s hegemony from the US to China is to ignore reality, China never did any coup on any rival country, China does not finance genocide and never did, China does condition loans to a destructive control over the countries finances like the IMF does. I think you are misguided thinking that both sides are equally bad, there are issues for sure on either side, but I think that the differences are many and should be accounted for, and most important of all, suggest a great improvement with the forces of the east.

Japan for sure, but China is a bit more complex I think, China for sure is inserted into the capitalist system and plays by market rules so they buy cheap from exploited countries, but to my knowledge they are not really involved into deliberate action to keep places impoverished, and they are dealing with poverty inside their country as no one else on the planet so I think at the very least we have a thing or two to learn with them.

Not all his takes are bad but I believe he often passes his own theories as information he got from a secret informant that I have contact wirh

It’s and very useful concept that we should not try to replicate the movements of previous revolutions beat by beat, and instead learn with those movements whatever was achieved and use those lessons to create new movements specifically for the region wherever revolutions are tried again.

I’m so glad that RISC-V is finally coming into the scene, x86 is doing a lot of overtime as desktops computers. Plus the loosen grip of Intel and AMD is such a great thing for china and any other country trying to be independent from the US in this type of technology.

Not that I’m against the idea but killing the billionaire in itself changes very little, the plan is to extinguish the possibility of a billionaire coming to.be.

It sucks for all directly affected, on the territory and families of all who died both sides of the fence, that aspect is absolutely horrible and undeniable. But on a international chess game perspective there are some things to consider. Like US loosing this battle is a big blow to their grandstanding as the one who does stuff and is never wrong. For that they are doubling down on anti Russia propaganda to try to gather some European support to save face there, but for what it seems Ukraine is finished and there is no more saving that. What they might do is either strike back in a move of despair or instigate the fight somewhere else (possibly Taiwan) to try to sweep the defeat under the rug and pretend it never happens.

I think the side of Putin is more reasonable in this war but I have no love for the figure, he has plenty of skeletons in his closet. Just wanted to that stated.

So TLDR it sucks but sometimes it sucks for the US too, which is nice for the world

What the hell is going on here?

yeah, this meme kinda rubs me the wrong way

I don’t see why the state as a means of oppressing the bourgeoisie poses any problem. The state is the tool of oppression we just mean to change it’s target. I’m debating it in terms of the state because the means of production by themselves are nobodies tool are just a necessity of life, to produce what is needed for material existence, the manner of their organization that is up for debate, so I think the state and that concern about tools of the master fit better.

Did the brand actually do that?
