Probably fewer countries excusing the hard power they use?

Just because they occasionally kiss their victims doesn’t make what they do to them first any better. It never has. But if the world’s bully finally stops providing any good then maybe we can move on as a species.

…you understand how tiny of an industry that is compared to nearly anything else china exports, right?

And the entire world is going towards evs, even developing countries since generators are more efficient over time than dealing with all the parts of a ice vehicle.

Some businesses might go under if they somehow can’t pivot their floors to produce something more profitable, but the entire ‘problem’ western firms have when competing with china is that they’re set up to easily pivot and expand production to different items.

China has the entire developing world, their own growing middle class, and europe for import/export. There is nothing america produces that is exclusive or the best cost, and with the us economy dying it’s not like china can sell to the us profitably for a while.

I mean it’s hardly selling out a capitalist country to go do the same work for more money.

China yes, susan no. But susan is an outlier.

You know as much about china as dolphins do about integrated circuits.

What do you think the US has been doing in yemen for the last twenty years?

There hasn’t been a week in the last twenty years where US bombs haven’t killed yemeni civilians.

The US wastes a few hundred million shooting down a few hundred dollars worth of missiles and drones, the us then wastes a few hundred million bombing yemeni civilians, increasing the number of houthis and encouraging monetary support to be given to the houthis.

They’ve been playing the US for over a decade and have learned from all the dozens of other people that have militarily beat the US how exactly to do it.

Always has been, actually the North Vietnamese were the rebel alliance according to Lucas, but the US has always been the bad guys in that media franchise.

So just another day?

Well at least the West is choosing group suicide along with the US instead of attempting to save themselves, makes it way better for their victims.

With how racist they are towards China?

I mean it would work out better for them but I’m pretty sure brics doesn’t need such an economic and cultural drag, even if it would be very, very funny.

Most sane kbin/mbin user.

If that was the version of Buddhism he’s advocating for Tibet would still be an autonomous region instead of under direct control.

They had child sex slaves and a caste system that would make some parts of India blush.

No,but the dalai lama who is tibetan and is a believer in tibetan Buddhism which has child sex slaves for most of its existence is in fact a pedophile.

This is from someone with an East Asian mindset.

Sucking children’s tongues or vice versa is weird here in China too.

Biden won in a primary where the dnc refused to fund any other candidates and was only participated in by people that admitted they didn’t want the position.

There was no second primary.

But it inevitably will become that cheap, as your steak and pork become infinitely, exponentially more expensive over time.

We’re already massively subsidizing meat production and we’re entirely ignoring the majority of meats costs in calculating prices.

Those costs are going to keep getting higher, however, and those subsidies won’t be able to last even in a wealthy monetary issues country like the US. Unless you completely abandon capitalism, real beef isnt going to be a thing for middle class or poor people within 20 years, and it won’t be a thing period within a hundred.

However the tech to print meat will get smaller and cheaper over time and the seed ingredients are already cheaper than the land maintenance and feed for real livestock. Hell it’s cheaper than most inputs for anything except corn and wheat. There will be a time in the next few decades where middle class people in smart countries will have a meat printer at home to make whatever they want for dinner and shopping for meat will be too prohibitively expensive for anyone but the rich.

Climate change is already causing crop failures and water distribution fights, and quite frankly the meat industry doesn’t have enough money to fight the climate on this issue.

Cheap guilt free meat built to whatever fat percentage you want will fail to sell?

Well you enjoy your $50/lbs wagu, and I’ll enjoy exactly the same quality at $3/lbs.

You’re assuming they’ll ever pay. The executive is the one that would assist against nonpayment on a judgement, so all the defendant of a lawsuit like this has to do is be friendly with the executive branch.

Unlike the US, China hasn’t been declaring war every week for two centuries.

Instead, the belt and road initiative is what neolibs think USAID is.
