Here’s a similar article about a person doing this in the US, for comparison:

Yes, we’ve known for a very long time that people join gangs due to social alienation and a need for community. It isn’t new info and it doesn’t change the fact that they have adopted violence and terrorism to make up for being lonely

Hasn’t he always seemed like exactly this type of guy?

But have you considered Russia bad, Europe good?

If you want a real answer, you need to decide what your own goals are and take whatever steps you need to accomplish them and move towards accomplishment on your own terms.

Sometimes the easiest way to maneuver through a situation could be to stick to a stereotype, other times it will be to be yourself, unapologetically.

You can only really know by measuring with the question “how should I navigate this situation to get closer to my own goals?” Each situation will have differences that you need to weigh and yeah, a lot of the time you will need to do shit that feels bad to avoid even worse things. This is the case for most workers, you’re definitely not alone, although everyone has it to different degrees and in different ways.

yeah of all the oblasts to try and negotiate around, Crimea has been Russian for over a decade. Really missed the boat on that one

I use a VPN 99% of the time and many Chinese websites don’t allow that

As long as it exists under capitalism, every human on the planet won’t have access to it. It will cost nothing for the owners of the technology to run but they will charge a fee to use it.

Keep up the good work

If you were a MAGA you would be obliged to think Trump’s 5D chess strategy is working as planned and anyone who thinks otherwise is transgender

Minning Town is absolutely fantastic show, a fictionalized account of the real poverty alleviation efforts that have been happening in China. Anyone who is into communism and China should watch it and be touched by how great it is

Or get a second free password manager just for the stuff you need but aren’t worried about and temp change them, put them on second one, take just that one and change back after returning

Too late to reverse neoliberal policy now!

America has troops on the ground on Chinese territory, territory which the US itself formally recognizes as PRC territory. They have annexed foreign territory and your position is that the nation who legally has the right to it is the annexer for wanting it back.

If you’re a Marxist, you want an end to exploitation and destruction, you want everyone to be liberated.

I do think Trump gets us there faster than Kamala would have, because of the reasons you stated. He is destroying the US at a pace that is honestly necessary when we consider the climate destruction timeline. If the options are only those two, since no organized revolution is happening in the US by the left, Trump gets us there faster. It doesn’t mean we want it, or like it, or are happy about it, because it means death and violence on the most marginalized people. It is probably the best outcome for the world out of those two options, and inshallah it will be the end of imperialism and usher in a new era of growth for the global south. Trump won’t necessarily help a left revolution come to power, even if things get bad I’m not sure if Americans will be able to get organized at that level because of other factors, but I do think it is better for the workers outside of America.

Watch out for those evil tankies laughing at crackers destroying their own chance at economic recovery because they are racists.

Sorry your feudal cult leader died

You can get excellent cars in China for cheap, the problem is with other nations tariffing them so much that they end up being expensive once they land on your shores.

I guess it isn’t so easy since you’re wrong. I read the article and came to the accurate conclusion that I posted

Destroying your own attempt at reindustrializing because you are too racist to have Chinese people involved
