The Pope isn’t the American Christian icon you’d think. JFK was Catholic and it was a big deal.

American Christianity is dozens and dozens of sects and styles and flavors. Overall they roughly disrespect and respect the Pope about the same, he’s irrelevant really.

After how much we pulled back supporting them, I think the relationship is more neglectful than propping up. If it was up to America it seems they’d be happy feeding Ukraine to Russia themselves

In what way is the US propping up Ukraine at all anymore

This is about the United States and the idea of a color revolution is silly whenever it is brought up, in China/Russia that term is their blanket term for “the deep state”

I actually thought this was known since like before. I think the USSR had a plan on the US that hinged on attacking race relations

How is this pro Israel at all? It’s factual you dope. These things happened, are you that dumb?

everything is a color revolution to these people

The monopoly on violence dictates such things

I’ll wait a year or two.

Well one is a president

I’d love to see that be the case

doesn’t that just put poor countries into debt with China?

not really the same at all. sounds pretty neoliberal if you ask me

I think you should learn more about the stock market. It’s literally a lie point blank and totally manipulated aggressively by actors who aren’t even THAT big.

When has China done that?

You’d think that but as Bitcoin becomes tied to more and more those things become part of what holds up Bitcoin.

Bird flu won’t affect Bitcoin valuation but could affect most fiat currency, but that’s only because of the system now. If Bitcoin became more prominent wouldn’t it be bound to thing more?

No we cannot you vastly over estimate the cost of bringing things in and out of orbit. Especially at the load it would need to be a financial incentive to create the infrastructure to do so regularly.

I’d bet my balls we won’t mine shit in space for the rest of the 21st century

I disagree. Completely.

Large scale mining on another celestial body is similar to AI. It’s not actually gonna happen in our lifetime we’re not as close as we wanna believe.

We are those people in the 1800s who think everyone would have jet cars and shit by the year 2000. Nobody is that close. Likely they’ll blow each other up and start fighting in space before anyone gets to mine.

it’s not stable though I dunno how people can’t see this lol.

The US and China are in the same balance beam and at times or through different perspectives it might look like one is rising above the other but you ever seen what happens when one partner on seesaw jumps off? the other guy doesn’t go up that’s for sure

exactly so does the US seem on a good trend? no. they’re tied together by the balls my friend

You keep saying liberals but I don’t think you know what that word means. Are you speaking of the neoliberal western government or the liberals of America or liberals in Europe? Because they’re immensely different groups. I can only speak of “liberals” in America and I promise you, you’re entirely wrong. Liberals for years shook their head at all the things China was doing to take US business, never once was the liberal apparatus or voting bloc in america really ever antagonistic to China. Neoliberals like Biden were, kinda. But in the US conservatives have always beefed with China because they use the “they’re taking our jobs” stick every four years and I mean do you think Trump is a liberal? Cause he’s been the most aggressive to China than any US president in recent times

So I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about there. It comes off clueless and ill informed kind of like the rest of what you say.

The pandemic revealed that China is actually still a socialist project and that politics are in command when they shut down the economy instead of marching workers to the deaths,

Literally not what happened. They lied, arrested scientists trying to talk about COVID and denied it came from China ever while also being difficult to work with in informing the rest of the world what was going down and that by definition is absolutely tyrannical which is the opposite of socialist. China also marches workers to death pandemic or not, go look at the work culture in China it is abysmal.

And over that same period I’ve seen the US get worse

US never changed their dirty laundry is just more visible. Maybe it seems like it got worse but queers hardly ever had rights, abortion was always a fight, worker rights are always under assault and America is funding terrorists all over, all of this since like the 50s. Where ya been?

Sounds to me like you’re 12 maybe and you just dunno what the hell you’re talking about, like at all. You need to get off tiktok or whatever the source for your perspective is because it’s dog shit poopie diaper.

And I’m sure Hong Kong and Taiwan pulling away from China is a sign the country is doing well, sure. Let’s go with that.

The truth is if you look at history empires fall together. This era of shit post WWII is just getting ready to shift. Countries like Honduras, Mexico, Indonesia, countries in Africa, the places US and China shit on, will see an increase in everything as these empires continue to bleed. That’s how it goes. Rome dies gives us the Islamic golden age, Imperial British rule falls and the US grows up, US and China will continue to bleed out and fuel the countries that can fill the void.

China isn’t going to collapse, it’s just going to continue peacefully developing and surpassing the US in more-and-more ways.

That’s funny good joke their. I’m sure the protestors in Hong Kong and Filipinos and Taiwanese folk think China is super cool. I’m sure the secret police stations they have to watch citizens overseas and their oppression of Muslims in the western parts of China aren’t indictive of a country losing control and in response tightening its grip just like the US is doing and just like every other empire that bled out their power did too.

Nobody wins an argument online and with that knowledge I’ve obviously won here thanks 🫰
