Of course, I’m probably going to get banned for this, but at this point, I don’t even fucking care. As Mao said, the people and the people alone dictate the course of history, not a fucking western leftist internet forum.

Goodbye.

So I post this on fucking libshit places and all I get are libs in denial that America is declining, and then I post it here, and I get you people fucking screaming that the article is orientalist?? Holy shit! So this is why they say that there are no revolutionary proletariat in the imperial core!

And for my readers, for those of you who are still with me, do you want America to be competitive? We sure as fuck are NOT going to be dominant anymore. America’s heyday is over, done, kaput. And honestly, with our track record, that’s probably for the best. […]

The author is explicitly anti-America. This doesn’t get any more fucking obvious.

Like holy shit! Holy fucking shit! You people can read State and Revolution but cannot pick up on blunt statements???

Does that sound orientalist to you? Does that fucking sound orientalist to you? Does telling people to stop fucking hating China sound fucking orientalist to you?

China is building infrastructure all over the world, and their major cities are astonishing enough to be the backdrops for Bond movies; Singapore, amazing as it is, is often called “Little Shanghai”, because it is a goddamn runt in comparison. It’s fucking cool to be living in China right now. Does that sting? It should sting, a little.

In fact a lot of you just had aneurysms over that statement. China is Bad, is the refrain you hear over and over, because look what they are doing to these people and those people and those other people, and so on.

I’m telling you, and I’ll keep telling you, ranting against the hurricane will not stop it. China’s world dominance is inevitable, and the US has completely fucking lost itself all in the space of one Presidential administration, so nothing on this Earth is going to stop China at this point. And you need to stop thinking of them as Evil, and you need to stop right fucking now, because forces of Nature are not Evil. They are just forces. 1.3 billion people is a Force of Nature, one that we can’t even begin to fully comprehend, let alone compare with.

“This whole article is written from the perspective of “orientalist hordes coming to take over western civilization, and we must prepare for it!””

I find it very shocking that people like you, western leftists, who pride yourselves on having read tens of thousands of pages of Marx and Lenin, fail to even pick up on flat-out statements with zero nuance whatsoever.

But China’s “cheating” is different. It is not really dishonest to them, for some reasons I’ve already explained, but also for another very important reason: China is actually making good use of that stolen IP for their own citizens. China’s got solid Search now, and amazing global payment/finance systems, and they are on their way to having an electric-car offering that is as good as Tesla’s, because they would have stolen it from Tesla too except Elon just gave it away like a madman, and so on, across the entire board, industry-wide. They have their own 5G and their own handsets and their own e-commerce and ride hailing and social networking and entertainment and literally every other industry on earth. And their versions are all really good. In many ways they are already way better than the US versions, and where they’re not, they are catching up frighteningly fast. It’s easy to catch up when you start the race with everyone’s secret sauce!

In fact, as far as I can tell, China seems to be building a bona-fide Utopia. Here in Seattle we’ve spent years and YEARS trying to get a shitty monorail built, and it’s far from done, while in China they have fucking bullet trains that go 250mph. China is spending a shit-ton on infrastructure, and not just in China. Here in the US we can’t get our fucking potholes repaired, and our bridges are rotted and rickety, and our buildings are crumbling, and I swear it looks apocalyptically bad when you bring visitors here from Asia.

Please actually read the fucking article next time before screaming about some strawman you created of the author out of words taken out of context.

And you know what? The system is rigged against you. More evidence of this appears every single fucking day. So who’s to say the traditional Western moral compass regarding “fair play” is the right one here?

But pretty much everyone else, China included, has a completely different world view, which is that you compete to win. There is no fairness except what others force upon you.

So I’m not singling out China when I say they’re playing a different game. The core value system of the West, which is a combination of some shitty vestige of colonialist Jane-Austen-character “This is how a gentleman behaves” fairy-tale bullshit and equally shitty Puritanical religious moralizing, is predicated on “competing fairly”. By the West, I’m basically oversimplifying it to be the US, Canada, Australia, and Europe. Oh, and the “United” Kingdom. Whatever. You know what I mean by The West.

The author is not singling out China. The author explicitly makes it clear that the author is not singling out China. If you actually took the time to you know, actually read what the author is saying, you would know that.

The author isn’t saying that the Chinese are uncivilized or barbaric or anything like that, they explicitly state that this applies to basically everyone except America. You would’ve seen this if you actually took the time to read the text.

But to the Chinese, and as you’ll see, also to most of the rest of the world, life is literally all a big game. If

If you took the time to actually read the entire thing, you’ll realize that the author doesn’t believe cheating to be inherently bad, and that other cultures (inc. European and Spanish) also believe that, and that the American culture is the one that is off by believing that cheating is inherently bad.

A surprising amount of paywalls can be bypassed by simply turning off Javascript with an extension like NoScript, as they are completely implemented client-side with Javascript.

Funny how we always have money to kill foreigners but never have money to feed our own starving children

America doesn’t need bots to spread its propaganda; its people spread it themselves!

Perhaps this could be mitigated by making the deployment process simpler, ie: a single static binary to download and run instead of having to set up a million different services and edit a million different configuration files. But then again, as long as there is any friction to the setup process, there will be centralization in the form of large servers, as users will go down the path of least resistance.

I guess the real solution here is to simply abandon the concept of federation all together and instead use a peer-to-peer (p2p) model. A p2p model would completely alleviate the problem of centralization by enforcing decentralization, by simply removing the possibility of centralization using design.
