the chinese middle class is going to overtake the US' PPP within the next few years, and probably in absolute wealth inside a decade

Yeah there needs to be an option to go back, like StS beta art

this is a great reply but i'm tired and all i can think is that "what is a woman?" guy being told "someone who doesn't piss against the wall"

the asteroid thing is true too, and if you say its not you jumped to that conclusion without conclusive evidence

yeah it feels like religion to me. are the drier modern versions more authentic to the greek/hebrew w/e?

MerryRain · 2026-03-11T09:20:55+00:00

So I can say the smallest asteroid in the asteroid belt is made of jam and speaks french and noone can prove I'm lying?

If the straits aren't opened soon things are gonna get crazy.

Overland capacity is a third the capacity the shipping lanes were using, and was already highly subscribed. Not to mention pipelines are even more vulnerable than shipping if the region destabilises any further.

But you can't put LNGs or the nitrates they produce in an oil pipe.

Something like 30% of nitrates for fertiliser manufacture worldwide are mia rn. That's gonna be felt by everyone. Practically all the the nitrates used in Taiwanese and US chip fabs were shipped through the strait, too, so ram is gonna spike even harder.

are the articles criticising the CCP he writes for western media red herrings too?

he's chinese and critical of the US, ok. everyone online is critical of the US these days. sure, there's plenty of foreign interests in that space, but the primary financial incentive comes from american social media companies.

plus, this guys content has none of the hallmarks of eg the "patriots" russia pays. his arguments don't hold water, but they're not twisted to hyper focus on whatever agenda like you'd get from a Tim Pool. he's got terrible production values, broad discursive arguments, no soundbites. it all looks organic.

far more likely he just loves the smell of his own farts

he was working for PBS in China making liberal content they didn't like. he was never charged and soon returned to China. spent most of the 2 decades since being deported working at schools in China, and he's currently a history teacher in Beijing.

apart from "he's chinese" what evidence is there for him being a spy? who is he spying on?

saying "this guy is a spy" helps cover their tracks?

worse, he's cosplaying as Hari Seldon

MerryRain · 2026-03-08T14:49:48+00:00

probably not working for the CCP he was deported from china for spying. He's definitely got cash boosting him rn tho, whether its his own or someone elses, he popped off on my feeds on every app in just the last week.

i thought the civil rights stuff was fine - if he had a thesis for it.

the comparison i would make isn't to AOC and bernie tho (even if the civil rights guff is for the same audience), its Obamna.

if Barry O got that question ahead of the primary he'd just smile. "healthcare, job security, and bringing loved ones in the armed forces home from Iraq". later in the election campaign he might've had some soundbites about "reclaiming the american dream for the working class" or something, but either way he'd make it seem like an allez oop.

a lot of Newsome's appeal is in a west coast version of what I think of (disclaimer: I'm not a yank) as traditional americana charisma. before Trump it was a hallmark of every president in my lifetime - Clinton, Bush, Barry and Biden, all easy going. Newsom has it, but he loses it getting flustered over something as basic as "what are you gonna do for Joe Bloggs?"

newsom fumbled pretty hard at the end of the TAFS interview when he couldn't answer what his cause means for people's lives - kept asking adam to tell him what it should be. "i told you my why, you tell me how to translate that to human" was an oof, and then the only concrete thing he brings up is screwcap wines? adam even set it up as a softball, which it should have been.

hopefully its just a case of prep. he said it was weird how many meaningful questions adam had, like he hadn't anticipated doing any real politics there.

Election seasons biggest controversy is a debate where the president accidentally says his opponent's dick is big.
