Sucking yourself up from your own penis is the new pulling yourself up by your bootstraps.

Bit idea? More like Brit idea.

So this is what Trump's McDick's summit was really about.

Okay, but have you considered that the 90% of those 1.3B Chinese residents who like their government and want to keep it are simply brainwashed, ignorant, or stupid?

Silly tank E. The thought police, which are totally real (trust me bro), will come after any who dare express dissent. This is why we enlightened westerners with our Enlightenment(TM) values need to support the US invasion of China across the Taiwan Strait while also pretending it was actually China who struck first (just like the heckin' unwholesome Vietcong 😡 did at the Gulf of Tonkin) and that Taiwan is actually a sovereign state fighting off an imperialist invader instead of a puppet government for the wholesome keanu chungus defenders of democracy.

Slobber Tie Won! Down with Zizzy Ping!

Authoritarianism is when you're a dick. Stepping in to use authority to deal with someone who's being a dick? Somehow not authoritarian.

It's a Mao quote. The source I was reading cited it as coming from Strategic Questions in China’s Revolutionary War, though the copy on marxists.org appears to be a different translation and the exact phrase doesn't appear. The closest I could find in the linked source is "Nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets his mind to it."

The context the source was using it in wasn't idealist, but the idealism is definitely what appealed to me enough to post it here. Out of its original context it sounds like, as we say here in the US, "mind over matter".

There are no difficult things, only people without sufficient resolve.

The gang's all here.

People being able to breath makes it much easier absorb new information, even malicious information. Allowing people to breath is a plot by the reds to propagandize to God fearing Americans. My grandfather never breathed in his life; his brain oxygen levels were so low that the pinkos were never able to reach him with their lies.

Apparently it really is from a-z quotes, but the only reference provided there is that he made the remark some time in 1982.

Edit: Some more digging shows that it's from a speech he made about something called Project Economic Justice. However, this transcript says it was delivered in 1987, not 1982.

Maybe if a socialist wins an election in the US, the US will overthrow the US 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
