Well if you look at lot of what Jesus says and does in the Bible it is not a surprise to see some parts of Christian movements going towards some socialist version, and it is not surprising that it’s one that distance itself from the “evil Stalin”

Look at positions that oppose your and try to see the merits of them put yourself in the shoes of a diverging point and on those shoes you’ll probably find an issue with your own point, even if the shoes you wore to do so were wrong as sin, changing the perspective helps.

Other than that I think that the constant balancing of conviction on your position to the point of acting on it but humility to recognize that it could be wrong, and strength to correct course when you realize it’s wrong. This last part, to internalize that you might change part of your beliefs and if so pivot to the new one with the same conviction as before, this point is important, because once you accept it as a possibility and realize that its not reason for shame, you become less prone to holding on to dear life on an outdated or incomplete view. Those are all hard things to do but I believe it’s through there.

Assuming that its not complete nonesense I could totally see the scientist chuckling a bit and saying that guy Biden is acting just like that Havana syndrome nonsense that people talked. And the ex KGB guy says Biden made the scientist think of the Havana syndrome

That’s good my friend, if you take in stride that makes me more at ease

Kirby my man, I really worry about your habit of scouring sketchy comment sections and subreddit treads. Hope you don’t over do it my fella.

That’s quite interesting, about the semiconductor impact on the weapon industry, but I wonder about where does the steel, the chemicals and all that stuff, would that work without mainland China, never mind Taiwan

Nice piece but it misled me, thought it was about current events

I don’t, capitalism is so fucked up that people’s view sometimes get warped so far beyond reality to save the idea that the system works. Flat earthers are in my opinion are in a roundabout way symptom of that, delusion is a necessity to sustain the farce of the system.

That’s fair but one question that pops in my mind often is does the US military complex work at all without China’s exports?

Is there anything in the US that is not basically a dumpster fire right now?

I was curious to see where my debate with the individual would end up. It was a load of nonsense but I wanted to see which arguments he’d use next. Don’t oppose the band, but I do regret the lack of the entertainment I was to have to see them defend the undefensible

I’m impressed with how strongly people feel about this, I see that loosing ports is not nice, but USBC is dope as hell and in my eyes that makes up for a lot of the loss of of I/o, not the headphone Jack though, that one hurts a lot.

He is not embarrassed, I’m pretty sure.

You are throwing empty claims, which war China funded? How is what China doing in any material way compared with the warmongering history of the US, you are throwing a false equivalence here, of the most egregious, I do understand not considering China an ally, is not necessarily my opinion, but I get it, but bunching them up with the US and saying they’re just as bad, is again exceedingly naïve in my opinion.

Is there a source for this number, I would really like it. I gave a check on wikipedia and stuff, the number looks correct but a place with that information properly displayed will be nice.

I totally agree with the sentiment, but I believe you misunderstand the figure, they are saying that from all the nazis killed in WWII the red army killed 86% of them, not that 86% all nazis ever were killed by the red army. That said they are fucking cockroaches and crawl around

But you are lumping together very dissimilar things, like saying that a mass murderer and a thief, neither are innocent technically, and you saying that they are both the same is a misguided perspective. To say that China is just as bad as the US, is more than naïve, you may believe that China is not the role model for us to follow, for sure that’s a very reasonable perspective, but claiming that there is no improvement by changing the world’s hegemony from the US to China is to ignore reality, China never did any coup on any rival country, China does not finance genocide and never did, China does condition loans to a destructive control over the countries finances like the IMF does. I think you are misguided thinking that both sides are equally bad, there are issues for sure on either side, but I think that the differences are many and should be accounted for, and most important of all, suggest a great improvement with the forces of the east.

Sure but he is just doing what works

Japan for sure, but China is a bit more complex I think, China for sure is inserted into the capitalist system and plays by market rules so they buy cheap from exploited countries, but to my knowledge they are not really involved into deliberate action to keep places impoverished, and they are dealing with poverty inside their country as no one else on the planet so I think at the very least we have a thing or two to learn with them.

Not all his takes are bad but I believe he often passes his own theories as information he got from a secret informant that I have contact wirh
