Probably fewer countries excusing the hard power they use?

Just because they occasionally kiss their victims doesn’t make what they do to them first any better. It never has. But if the world’s bully finally stops providing any good then maybe we can move on as a species.

The west has spent a half century outsourcing their industry to feel like they’ve done any environmental work (and to lower wages). That has affected all industries, in all western countries.

Ever use anything with a pcb? Congrats it was partially made in china. Any industrial electrical components? Any microelectronics for non computational work? Hell most steel fab is in china. Half the us’s packaged fruit travels through china for packaging.

Your owners and masters have spent a long time ruining domestic companies for the sake of profit. Don’t take that out on chinese people, take it out on your owners and masters.

Nearly every company in the world that has an international presence uses chinese parts somewhere. And no, you racist count, made in china is not a word for cheap shit, it’s a word for made in a factory. You can’t avoid chinese products at this stage of capitalism. Your made in japan microwave? It was assembled in japan. It was made in china hence why you can get the brand less version for half price on aliexpress.

Country labeling is a joke, wherever the final assembly takes place is where the label gets put on, specially because racists like you are too stupid to tell the difference and it sincerely hasn’t mattered since before most people were born.

By producing everything you use in life?

Don’t buy cheap shit you won’t get cheaply made shit.

Their profession obligated them to do something dangerous in exchange for money and financial security; this person does not receive that in exchange. Changing jobs is also not something you do lightly when you have kids, unless you’re already well off enough to retire or will be homeless anyway.

Her family disapproves of her choice, that alone explains the situation as this adult acting as a petulant child that ran away. Her family wanted her in their lives, she didn’t want them in her life. That is the situation being reported on in this and other articles.

There is no reasonable moral dilemma. For example, why the fuck didn’t she go off to Niger? Why not volunteer for myanmar’s resistance? Maybe be a un peace keeper in haiti? Shit you think ukraine is bad, why didn’t she volunteer for palestine and join any of the hundreds of resistance groups?

There are hundreds of wars and conflicts going on right now. Is she going to go full mercenary and volunteer to be superwoman and intervene in all of them? Or did she pick a relatively safe conflict that would give her the most attention with the least amount of danger that would net her an easy path to leaving her family forever?

She has a fucking two year old. She not only had no obligation to help (unlike literally all of your examples) she had ample reason not to.

She ran away from her family like a coward to get out of dealing with them, to play soldier and be used as a bad PR piece.

If she’d prefer not to be in that situation, she had every ability not to be, instead she could’ve been a parent to her kids, instead of daddy’s first wife.

This is what constant propaganda does to unstable minds; I hope whatever ukraine pays out to it’s victims goes to this woman’s family after she pointlessly kills herself instead of doing literally anything to help her family.

They’re a direct competitor to one of microsoft’s products, and a better one at that.

…you understand how tiny of an industry that is compared to nearly anything else china exports, right?

And the entire world is going towards evs, even developing countries since generators are more efficient over time than dealing with all the parts of a ice vehicle.

Some businesses might go under if they somehow can’t pivot their floors to produce something more profitable, but the entire ‘problem’ western firms have when competing with china is that they’re set up to easily pivot and expand production to different items.

China has the entire developing world, their own growing middle class, and europe for import/export. There is nothing america produces that is exclusive or the best cost, and with the us economy dying it’s not like china can sell to the us profitably for a while.

Given half the references are from the same people that said a gang leader was called barbeque because he was a cannibal instead of the actual reason, I’m going to suggest there might be a bit of a propaganda problem going on there.

The currently largest single source of ewaste in the world should be criticized at every turn.

The gangs formed due to foreign invasion and an illegitimate state seizing power. They aren’t some separate group from the people, they are the people that should decide what state they have. The primary victims of the largest gang, for instance, were politicians and un ‘workers’, the latter of which regularly were caught raping women and children.

The gangs are the security. Against actual evil. These aren’t international cartel members or gun runners or even drug dealers. They’re resistance to occupation.

Maybe, you know, the foreign troops trying to revive a us puppet state that was deeply unpopular with the people is the cause of violence.

China yes, susan no. But susan is an outlier.

And a load of cars is far less heavy and less dynamically loaded than say, a crane. Or a group of construction equipment.

Again, if this worked, any single barge in existence would work better. A Wylie e coyote bridge made of hundreds of barges is too ridiculous even for the most westoid brain version of China. This is ‘dem Chinese eat Muslim babies to take our jobs’ level of silly.

Something heavy, slow, tread based, with easily controlled variable weight, that’s cheap enough to replace if anything goes wrong and something that’s been rendered useless on modern battlefields so has no further original use?

I wonder why they would use that to test barges that are far more valuable as overwater construction and resupply; rather than the absolutely silly idea of static targets for artillery, which is their only actual military function.

I mean I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. How do you people think this would function as a ‘war bridge’? You’d need hundreds. If one can touch shore then just use a normal barge, not this Wylie e coyote nonsense. If one can’t touch the shore, a hundred of them in an in movable chain that takes hours to align won’t be able to.

Nyaa.si/nyaa.pant.su would be the original versions of that site, and usually have most things.

He’s insane. See being insane like this isn’t just holding a belief radically different from commonly accepted knowledge, but failing to provide proof or evidence that can be independently verified.

If he could provide proof, even bad proof, it’d be fine. But since he couldn’t even understand why a side character would get paid less than the leading role and fumbled the marvel bag so hard it’s unlikely he’d ever be able to provide proof.

The country that heavily invested in science and technology, much more so than any other nation in history, is going to lead the world in those fields?!
