      The author thought the message sounded too ghoulish so they added the word “democratic” to soothe the brains of libs.

      US ideology is such a weird mixture of “we’re the master race” supremacy and smarmy HR speak.

    It’s nice to see that most columnists have to admit they’d be doomed fighting China, as the empire has fallen to far already.

      We call it the “BBC/nether filter”, referring to how BBC turns all pictures and videos of China darker than original.

    By “democratic capitalism” they actually mean bourgeois democratic dictatorship, as opposed to people’s/proletariat democratic dictatorship.

    Anyone with a brain (i.e. anyone who isnt a liberal) already knew that the only reason we support Taiwan is to counter China kek

    If Americans want a “hard break,” they’ll first need a plan for building up their industrial base. And good luck with that – the US government is not exactly famous for its competence or ability to mobilize the masses.

    Or maybe they’re hoping that the power of AI and NFTs is somehow going to magically save them? (It won’t).

      Can you imagine the US state trying to teach the US public that liberal individualism doesn’t work, after all. Good luck to 'em. It’ll make our job easier.

    Democratic capitalism is when you can unilaterally decide to sanction a quarter of the world’s population and force them to sell you even bananas for pennies on the dollar and then make fun of them for being banana republics.

    Incidentally, this is a great argument to China that they shouldn’t back down.

      The imperialists know their time is up. They have no more ideas. And they know that a hot war or direct confrontation of any kind with China will only hasten their demise. The world might finally know peace.

    You mean that the USA’s military invasion spending which exceeds the budget of 10 developed countries combined is unnecessary. That would make so called anti terrorist operation against freedom fighters who focus on non violent methods meaningless.

    “Yyyeaa even if they disarm we still gotta go and bomb em.”

    Edit: I’m saving this one, so that anytime libs hit me with the “China is just as bad for militarizing”, I’m just gonna show them this.
