I think people forgot about China's experience at the hand of the West in the past i.e Opium Wars and how it affects their moves today.

You really think drugs weren't in Asia until the British sailed there? How don't you know the Chinese, with multiple genocides, imperialism and slavery, didn't ban it to start a drug withdrawal riot? Some final thoughts before I eliminate the distractions and grind away at work and hopefully stay off this site for good: 1. Firstly, thanks to those who fought in Iraq, a lot of friends who came home blown apart, only to see people who didn't fight, like me, and who are far worst at their jobs ,experience great success. They could have stayed put and become millionaires in local plumbing contracting, electrical work, engineering, management, law, IT, anything. Now they see people who mess up at their jobs with what they have, while our best are starting from scratch proving themselves by running a cash register at Lowes at some horrible hour. Wealth is a trap, a way to dump much grave matter on the naive and uncultured. Find happiness! Lowes at night is fun. All of that, only to have a Soviet traitor say they are imperialists there for choice and oil. A lot of friends got messed up and stayed there a lot longer because they did it right, because they weren't imperialists. And they are betrayed by a sniveling coward who thinks he is a movie star. Union members, socialists, hell, even communists, you can do better. 2. Once again, I wish I could stay off this site for good. Aren't hacks suppose to be reversible? 3. I'm ashamed of my "rage auto pilot", for advocating that the USA chernobyl the world at the end of WWII for the many crimes they did to America, perpetual war, complete rejection of human rights, cynicism to every advancement we make. It's wrong to be gleeful at the epitome of human immorality. They really are pushing it. Putin's laser gets cheers from America? WTF. The same guy who shot down an air liner, gets an opportunity to irradiate everyone. How do we know Chernobyl was an accident, and wasn't a rogue attack by brainwashed feral Marxists? Once again, world, you are really really really lucky we didn't melt you considering all you did to us. Sick, small weak people do junk like that. We don't. We end it, and go back to our nice simple lives. 4. I'm horrified that my thoughts are 100 years old, and are filed away coldly in rooms, many of our allies. If the USA ever becomes a narco state, descending into toxic barbarity and gluttony, we get wiped out by our friends. Monarchs we found peace with, entrepreneurs we trained, religious leaders we respect, and we would have no one to blame but ourselves. 5. What's lost on the idea that war is hell, is that there's a little bit of heaven in hell. Sure, it's unimaginable pain. So's an ER. War's different in that it has that mystic, mesmerizing sliver in it. It will always be there, creeping in, boiling under the surface even if we have immortality. 6. War being disruptive is a massive understatement. It uplifts creation and irreversible changes what it means to be human. The next war will be one where we don't kill. We will keep you alive, holding the zealous corrupt, the self defeating cynics and ironists, the nihilists, the Marxists to what they fear most: their lies turn true, and they will be held account for all their horrible horrible inhuman crimes. We may very well turn into perpetual monsters before the next one ends. Horrifying. 7. Want to eliminate the death penalty? Stop murdering people. Want to get government out of your womb? Don't get pregnant. Want access to every drug you can shove down your throat? Don't kill your friends and family and burn down everything in sight. My world's lens is ideal. I cannot use it to build paradise because the fog of contention and conflict. How can we ever accurately measure great distances in the sky among the smoke of great cities? I'm done talking like a maniacal fool. I'll speak with the market.
