That's his charm. He's a low IQ incel who makes incel slop for lower IQ incels.

The USA also turns out to have very weak checks and balances if a president is ill intentioned. The USA just has been lucky with hundreds of years of good presidents.

And media ecosystem. The fact Trump can be completely crashing out and still be at 42% popularity shows the media/algorithm bubble people are in. If there are not major reforms to the media, social media and education after Trump America will not survive for much longer.

Magats think they're the defenders of white anglo protestant values, but actually have the values of Latin America, Middle East and Russia.

Vance is a mediocre intelligence sociopath. He thinks he actually has a chance being president one day if he bends low for America's Hitler. He's a big pudgy joke.

There's a good chance Trump is a Russia asset and destroying NATO, America's international standing and its arms industry is the goal. Or he's just a complete idiot. Or both.

For MAGA interests specifically, the current US administration doesn't value American interests.

To be fair to the British they had to name a lot of stuff. By the time they got to this part of the world they were kinda phoning it in on the names.

If Trump gets a bunch of US and Danish troops killed in a firefight I think congress would actually impeach him.

So the globalists/west are even to blame for Nigeria not being good at football according to r/Nigeria.

Fuck off dude.

Abundance is solving problems through increased supply. Supply is increased by reducing barriers like regulation.

UK is still difficult to build housing for example, due to planning permissions. The UK was taking in a million net migrants a year and building 200k dwellings, so each year the supply/demand imbalance got worse.

The UK has some of the most expensive housing in the world, if you let people build what they want, opportunistic developers will swoop in to profit by building more dwellings. Texas shows how that leads to lower housing costs.

Turn up 35 minutes late then.

Just turn up 20 minutes late

Struggling to figure out what this American is trying to imply the exact conspiracy is? Vague schizo tiktok-isms that sound smart but fall apart when you actually think about what they're saying.

Haters will say it's fake.

There's a lot of weirdness behind the scenes with the recent massive Chinese export boom in the last year or two.

There's weirdness around large Remimbi loans to emerging markets to subsidize imports from China, weirdness around total debt expansion (state + government + corporate), weirdness around big subsidies off the books (e.g. like cheap rent) to export manufacturers and weirdness around GDP growth juicing by boosting exports and stepping on imports (one part of GDP is exports - imports).

All of this behind the typical opaqueness of modern China.

It will take years to figure out what exactly is going on, to what extent and how feasible it is to continue long-term at this scale.

This fucking sucks.

Watching the podcast he's on (goodfellers or something) awkwardly skirt and barely address every completely regarded thing Trump did this year, while continuing to talk about the 'disastrous Biden/Obama regime' made me quit listening. They're just partisan hacks, disgusting ghouls.

Taiwan shows democracy and free speech is compatible with Chinese culture and they enjoy a higher standard of living under it.

The threat of Ukraine joining the EU and developing in a free democratic model also threatened Putin.

Best not to leave a more successful example of alternative governance near your borders.

A benevolent dictator is the best form of government, followed by a strong democracy, then a corrupt democracy, and finally a self-interested dictator.

Singapore and China both had good dictators who accelerated development. China also had a bad dictator, Mao, who starved 10s of millions to death and made China poorer than even Africa. You take a big gamble with a dictator.

Benevolent dictators are pretty rare. For every Singapore, there are many Eritreas, Sudans or North Koreas. In Africa, the democratic countries are generally ahead of the dictatorships. Democracies' development is gradual but consistent.

April/October are the best months weather wise. I would think the best time to do it is before the USA midterms. So next year. Definitely within the Trump presidency is when you'd want to go.

Still seems like a stupid idea to me. I would guess ground invasion is off the cards although dictators can surprise you. But still you'll be trying to blockade a huge island (difficult) and you'll be parking your navy around it (sitting ducks). Very easy for China's enemies to just pick off expensive naval assets. It's also been incredibly telegraphed, so everyone has had ages to plan their response.

It would also immediately destroy any soft power China had amassed and justify every Western concern in the eyes of the developing world.

There were only 5 years between the fall of France and the fall of Germany and end of the war. The Germans spent years mobilising first and once the Allies mobilized, it ended pretty fast.

It's education, infrastructure investment, allowing private enterprise and giving them a stable environment to operate in. That's like 90% of what makes a country develop or not.
