And I will never tell you what I really think about Ukraine or China, because I would lose subscriber.

    my understanding is that the TrueAnon party line at least regarding China was that they (and by they I mean like, Brace, because he’s the most outspoken on this) explicitly identify as Maoists but in a ‘fundamentally ambivalent to Dengism and would prefer a Maoist track’ way instead of a ‘china has fallen, billions must die’ way, but I may be over/misanalyzing some things. I half-remember a bit where Brace was talking about “if China starts the turnaround and we can see it in like 20 years then call me a Dengist when those 20 years have passed”, might be misremembering.

      I mean, that’s basically my position too.

      I don’t think China is the perfect state and the majority of economic relationships within China are in the capitalist mode and billionaires are on a leash but there are still many power billionaires.

      I like China because it is the closest to being able to push the button and has leadership that seems to at least aspire to pushing the button maybe even within my lifetime.

      Which is A LOT and hugely preferable to whatever the fuck kind of feudalism the west is evolving towards but I won’t stan them as being actually very communist right now. They’re dialectically evolving towards some better form of socialism and they look after their people a lot better than the west, and there’s a lot to like but damn I wish they would push that dang button.

      He also said he thinks the West needs to accept a peace deal that lets Russia keep Donbas and that it’s delusional to keep this bloody conflict going thinking that Zelensky will be marching on Moscow if only we keep sending him more missiles. So yeah, he’s been pretty blatant about his stances.
