Yes, just a Jesus-following (not in a church other than for volunteer work) commie at this point. Figure the point of all this is to have kids and help build the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth, the goal eventually being a society that doesn&#x2

Why has Ukraine rarely lost power, water or internet? Why isn't Russia destroying civilian infrastructure en masse? Because it's not a war in the same way the US went to war with Iraq, for example (one of the first things the US

This sort of braindead mindset is exactly why learning dialectical materialism is so important. You're essentially denying causality. A bobcat is cornered by a man with a stick, the bobcat lashes out, you blame the bobcat. You walk aro

Yeah…sure…it hit a "seamount" – it's definitely not out-classed and out-matched by Chinese unmanned submarine drones. https://metallicman.com/uss-connecticut-black-operations-sub... https://www.y

Not to mention a vast percentage of their energy usage is spent on manufacturing for the West. We're essentially off-loading our carbon output to less developed countries then blaming them for it.

That pollution is due to exported goods – the US and other western countries are essentially offloading their pollution to China, who is more than happy to take the cash and greenify their own infrastructure.

Look at the author's publishing history. Nothing but Australian fluff news until 2019 then she started posting upwards of two "China bad" articles a day nearly every day since. The US' war on China means that anti-China

There is nothing more pathetic than someone being afraid of a country based on what they hear in media and from their own State Department. I only get this "China scary" vibe from people who've never been or know nothing abou

…if China invaded _their own province_. A province over which their claim is stronger than the US' claim to Hawaii. I keep thinking there's hope to avoid this war, but the way people comment here and on Reddit (in abject ignorance

China has a more historic and material claim over Taiwan than the U.S. has over Hawaii. Give me a break with all this imperialist sabre-rattling. Taiwan is a province of China. Fewer than 15 countries (the U.S. is not one of them) acknowled

I don't imagine some central command – I understand Gramsci's concept of cultural hegemony and Marx's base/superstructure dialectic. The American people are completely bought into the imperial line, but they still need t

Americans are gone. Anti-China sentiment is at a boiling point and I really no longer see objective reporting or discussions. It's infuriating that the US is able to manufacture consent so efficiently.

Nailed it. The US is only concerned with imperialism and maintaining a stranglehold in the region. Syria was meant to be Libya Part 2: Electric Boogaloo, but it was just a royal mess from the beginning.

The counter-terrorism system they've conceived is worth learning about. They basically erred on the side of "too much surveillance, but alive" over "bomb them all 'til they're dead." Given the near complet

No joke. Liberals talking about socialism reminds me a lot of Christians talking about evolution: "we didn't come from monkeys!" …right, no one said as much. Even a cursory read of Marx/Engels/Lenin would clarify a

Most of my family are now jobless. Many of them now can't afford necessary medication due to that fact. My state's pandemic unemployment insurance site launched in May with gross security issues and had to be shut down. Thousands

Please don't let the bad-faith "China bad" idiocy leak here from Reddit.

China's government is not Marxist in any sense of the word. And it could hardly be considered to be communist unless you're willing to accept self-applied labels. From the article: “The government is scared because the domestic co
