  1. the inability to admit when a strategy has become untenable or that the situation has changed seems to be a common feature of authoritarians and it has no reason to be that way other than machismo

  3. bullshit that's not what she said at all From her interview on the trip "So I’m not going to – again, as a supporter of democracy in China – but this is about democracy in Taiwan.  We cannot allow the Chinese government to isolate Taiwan.  They may say to them, ‘You can’t go to the World Health Organization,’ but they’re not going to say who can go to Taiwan.  And yes, it was worth it, and what the Chinese are doing is what they usually do." ... "But you know what, why don't we just show China that we support Taiwan?  It is part of the U.S. – the Taiwan Relations Act.  I didn’t – we didn't go there to change policy.  We still support the One China policy.  We go there to acknowledge the status quo is what our policy is.  There was nothing disruptive about that.  It was only about saying [Taiwan] is one of the freest societies in the world.  Don't take it from me.  That's from Freedom House.  It’s a strong democracy –"

  6. reminds me of a scene from some transformer movie where while the transformers are tearing up everything and destroying towns on an apocalyptic scale, The local chinese police force competently handles the situation and everything is fine.

  7. fucking wolf warrior bullshit, they're diplomats not fucking soldiers. everytime something like this happens it makes me worried that these countries are drinking their own koolaid, like how all of russia's government is insane suddenly when in the past at least they would quietly be diplomatic behind closed doors

  9. if the dollar fell out as a reserve currency US manufacturing would make a massive resurgence since we wouldn't be at an export disadvantage finally, but that'd still be very painful

  10. its 100% clear nobody in china knows what viruses actually are, they're just doing shit that looks like it came out of the distant past just with knockoff tyvek suits instead of beaked masks. Like almost all of the people wearing those bunny suits won't need it or are not doing anything to actually prevent themselves from getting sick since covid is airborne and not really contact based

  11. this is what pisses me off about the culture war here in america, we have made fighting against the liberal order the casus beli for the right in the US, but they're fighting the same fight china and russia are and they don't even care anymore, they're cheering for these dictators to tear up freedoms and oppress people in the name of nationalism and patriotism. I know there's a lot the left is at fault for in terms of free trade and appeasement but at least they know where the lines are drawn

  21. the scary thing about systems like china is how many people have to be involved in it to work, they've built a system like the stazi in east germany where more people are involved in spying on people than there are people not spying on people

  24. A chinese ET reboot would see the chinese authorities and scientists contact the aliens to return ET, and receive a spaceship as a gift from the ETs, allowing China to live in the stars in peace and friendship, or something silly like that
