This really raises a lot of questions about Factorio's story and worldbuilding 😔

Good ass book and I'm surprised people sleep on Losurdo considering he's a Parenti type figure in western academia with lots of quirky opinions. I gues antiimperialism is a deal breaker for them

Fantastic, my dude, good luck defeating the "Hamas fascists", and the 85% of the world population that supports their actions. You've done a great job by sitting on your ass while a genocide is committed so far. Anything else? 🤨🎤🗑️

Oh, of course, Hamas should just turn them into the police. Silly me. Oi Hamas, this Britbong bloke says you ought to call the fuzz!

No, he was a competent leader. Why on earth wouldn't he have counterintelligence operations against the CIA and others? Do you remember what they did to their own citizens during the war "just in case we need to do it to the Soviets and not just black people 😉". Are you advocating defenselessness against the torture regime of the USA?

You guys do understand that Israel has been funding ISIS gangs to rape and kill Palestinians? How exactly should the people of Palestine deal with this issue? Ask them politely to leave?

This is like worrying about Japanese investors buying a stadium, the article is very misleading because they would never employ writers who would explain why the US benefits from the global ruling class recycling its dollars into asset markets here. Basically, there is nowhere else to put it that won't get left behind by the bubble and devalued.

This isn't Saudi Arabia buying the USA. This is one of the USA's dogs getting a bone to chew on. Same with Qatar. Don't be so shortsighted.

But yes, China isn't a threat to Americans. They literally want the quality of life of Americans to go up, and the financial leverage of the US to go down. The main thing stopping Americans from living a good life is the financial leverage of their middle class and elites. (Most private equity funds are managing retirements and pensions, which most workers do not have. Same deal with housing.)

Np i just wish people were more critical of all these alt media outlets and random shows. I've never met a single person who listens to them who actually wants to hear any criticism. Because, for me, not questioning what I'm listening to makes it way less interesting and active.
