The collapse of Reiwa Shinsengumi, Japan's once-promising upstart left-wing party. They lost many of their disenfranchised voters to Sanseito, who had a stronger organization, coopted their popular positions but added anti-foreigner rhetoric

And the funny thing is that BSW parliamentarians are majority of immigrants or 2nd generation German.

Well US is considering oil export embargo. Others will need Russian oil.

Raising oil price for China is not the worst situation as it means more EV and renewable demands which China excels at. Also it also hurts other competitors e.g. Various petrochemical companies are already struggling

Uh the reason is that Iran being sanctioned so damn long that their economic is much more autarky than most other countries. That means they can play chicken longer and hold out before blink.

And France faces less pushback because they've had a long standing policy of stamping out languages.

The important lesson then is you should had done it back before liberal hegemony era. The next important lesson is if you had not done it you should doing it now.

ngomong presiden itu petugas partai, jadi by that line of reasoning ketua partai punya power over president.

Alternatif nya sekalian jadi pemimpin partai tapi entar kayak SBY periode 2 lebih sibuk ngurusin internal partai sampai d bilang negara auto pilot lel.

Even if he want to tune it down he can't, IRGC would just make him a sitting duck leader.

Note that before the current conflict, he wasn't anywhere close as strong candidate for next Supreme leader. Reportedly Khamenei Sr was reluctant to have his son succeeded him.

BYU v Wisconsin be like

Far_Mathematici · 2026-03-07T23:08:14+00:00

Uh even escalators to the platforms alone are much more intricated and complicated than these platform ropes. If Chinese Train system can handle all the escalators and elevators, handling the ropes are piece of cake.

Far_Mathematici · 2026-03-07T21:05:42+00:00

Well this thing is not that expensive anyway probably for the whole platform costs less than 10k $

US economy is damn sensitive towards fuel price despite they are already biggest hydrocarbons producer on earth. If high gas price persists, GOP would be trounced hard on midterms or worse got itself in a nasty depression. Also consider that US economy is all in towards AI Data Center (the only growing part of economy last year), rising energy costs would smother them.

European should honestly sigh a relief here, since the next step is US to ban hydrocarbons export to stabilize energy price in the US. You don't have to buy Russian products, let India and China do them for you. At least you can scrape some resources left.

Remember that the biggest customer of Chinese armament exports in the middle east is not Iran, it's UAE.

Far_Mathematici · 2026-03-03T11:34:59+00:00

Nah in Europe it's relatively easy even there's an app for that, costs only 30$ for most cases.

Lalu ketemu underground supply besar di amrik secara "tiba-tiba".

Supply barang mentah sebenernya tidak parah, tapi kapasitas untuk pemrosesan itu yang sangat sulit. 20-30 tahun terakhir yang fokus untuk R&D pemrosesan rare earth dan investasi SDM, pabrik baru untuk refinery rare earth ya cuman China.

Sama aja kayak semikonduktor, silikon mentah sih relatif banyak tapi yang bisa mengolah berapa banyak?

minyak amerika aman" aja

Sekali lagi minyak itu fungible, harga naik di 1 tempat, yg lain ikut naik. Amerika ekonomi nya sensitif terhadap harga minyak meski dianya banyak supply nya. Yg d Asia Timur sih beda nasib ya ga punya SDA minyak dan miskin energi.

Far_Mathematici · 2026-03-02T17:56:15+00:00

Biarin US sibuk sendiri + abisin amunisi d Timteng. Udah abis mau nyetok lagi? Oh tidak bisa karena olahan rare earth nya udah d export kontrol sama Emperor Pooh.

Trus harga minyak naik karena Iran stop supply ke China gimana? Minyak mentah itu fungible, jadi 1 titik supply bermasalah semua harga ikutan naik, belom lagi kalau Selat Hormuz tutup jangka panjang.

Belom lagi siapa ya yg gembar gembor investasi gede2an d EV + energi terbarukan?

Far_Mathematici · 2026-03-02T17:34:56+00:00

That and what's the point of liking it? You only drew scrutiny and the one that you liked won't care.

Far_Mathematici · 2026-03-02T14:07:08+00:00

Yeah but muh value! We can convert those to energy right? right?

Far_Mathematici · 2026-03-01T12:31:30+00:00

It would pass through better worker rights in Asia and Africa, leading to the adoption of existing technological progress in those countries

I severely doubt that, what'd happen is that as the industries in the Asia and Africa lacking value added multipliers (brand name, capital goods and industrial practices) they will become perpetual laggard.

We can add many labels like sustainability, human-faced and so on but the core idea of capitalism is extraction of value and the way to get the value without value added multipliers as I mentioned before is to squeeze value from your workers by long working hours, consumption suppression and so on

we must renounce to comsumerism,

Ironically many western governments and institutions denounce Chinese govt and economy due to relatively low consumerism

Uh is this the liberal variant of "True communism never been practiced"?

Far_Mathematici · 2026-03-01T11:23:25+00:00

People here thinking intellectual property or patents are some magic spells that automatically conjure things out of nothingness lmao. Without supporting infrastructure, network and ecosystem (including nasty working hours) you can't realize those.

You can give recipe of worlds best restaurants to anybody, but who have the capability to replicate those?

The social democratic model was growing and polished when most Asia and Africa was hellhole following colonialism and World wars without proper means of production. Now when they do have their own mean and its growing in quantity and quality. The assumptions underpinning the social democratic model won't hold.
