No it isn’t. You were trying to cast China in a harsher light for doing “for decades” most of the same things the US has been doing (also mostly for decades).

Everyone sucks in this situation.

No, the pot and kettle can both be black, that’s the entire point of the expression.

Our last standing differentiator was IP law, until we got weapons of mass IP destruction in the form of AI companies and LLMs.

From IP theft, to secret police stations in foreign countries, human rights abuses etc…

At this point you could literally be talking about the US with this sentence.

Lol what efforts?

Yep, collectivism for fascists, rugged individualism for those who seek to root them out.

Pairs nicely with all of the following American sentiments:

• fuck you, I’ve got mine

• pull the ladder up behind yourself

• pull yourself up by your bootstraps

• socialize the losses, privatize the profits

• caveat emptor (let the buyer beware)

• communism for the rich, laissez-faire, starvation capitalism for the poor

• if you’re so smart, why aren’t you rich?

and on and on

They’re revoking the revocation of the revision of the exemption from last Tuesday with a “truth” posted today. Those who were responsible have sacked those not responsible.

Kinda like the trillions we’ll make from golden visas 🙄

The diehards are not persuadable but not everyone in this country – or even a majority – is willing to lay down their lives and their livelihoods for Trump.

Dude, my plan is to let keyboard warriors make themselves look ridiculous between meetings and then have a couple beers after work.

The original post was about how the whole meal team six refrain of “the 2nd amendment will prevent tyranny” was also a lie, which you help prove with every post.

I’m not a huge war buff, but I think to have a successful revolution you’ll probably need to have a friend first.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a revolution in which one buff guy managed to beat a military by having washboard abs and a closet full of rifles, and I doubt you’ll be the first.

Lol yeah dude you’re gonna be Indiana Jones surviving a nuke by hiding in the fridge 💪

This is the point of Trump dealing with the UK over the EU. They’re more isolated since Brexit and therefore more easily intimidated.

Saudi Arabia and Israel both already have the type of freeze peach this fascist desires.

TFW a revolution against the government is just another part of your ruggedly individualistic grindset

Not if Trump and Steven Miller have anything to do with it.

That’s the plan. Will it work? Probably not. But that won’t keep us from doing it just like of all the other bad policy.

The US in 10 years.

I want to believe a quieter majority of us aren’t cool with…

After the results of the last election, I cannot delude myself any longer. We’re surrounded by fascist, imbecilic weirdos I’m afraid. The only thing we can do at this point is become louder and hope to pull defectors into our ranks.

There also is some amount of hope that can be obtained by the fact that this is a very large, very disorganized country that contains all kinds of people. That’ll make ruling over all of us with an iron fist practically impossible to pull off. Unless, of course, we allow it.

Honestly, they seem too stupid to have even that much of a plan.

That’s good medicine wasn’t expensive enough already in this country.

The US was still #1 in manufacturing but China was getting close to overtaking us. I’m certain they will now.
