Is this inventing reality?
I know a few places I wish Chinese rockets would start landing.
Its like 75% joke for me. The 25% is cause America 100% deserves it, and if any other countries were as psychotics and evil as it is, shit would've already kicked off. I honestly believe only truly fascist countries would ever use actually nukes against another(first) and everyone only has them to deter the US.
Yeah that's true for every country(incl the ones america is exploiting to keep its innocent people comfortable.) It's why only fascists would ever actually do it and :xi-plz: is mostly a meme joke. Cause china isnt going to first strike lol, it's just not gonna happen that way. The US nuking china first is WAY more likely.
No matter what happens innocent people die.
If America continues as is, it will continue to kill millions in wars, coups, and eventual destruction of the environment.
If a revolution breaks out internally, many good and innocent people will die as a result of either the violence or infrastructure disruption.
If America is defeated militarily by an external power, then good and innocent people will die on both sides from the violence and infrastructure destruction.
Put all of these possibilities aside and you're basically left with hoping that electoralism eventually gets somewhere. How's that going?
do y’all actually support the bombing of America???
White people don't care that the police bombed black kids in Philly, why is that? 🤔

Yeah this is part of what I mean too, I'm sorry I can have the same apathy to a unlikely theoretical atrocity that people have to shit that actually happened(which is STILL benefitting the oppressors)
GZD is pretty much the only good sub on r*ddit.
When CTH got banned I started browsing GZD since it was the closest ideological equivalent to the CTH sub and in the progress I became a Maoist lol
Looking at subredditstats looks like it was founded in mid-2019 but it really took of mid-2020 which coincides with CTH banning
Also TIL I'm a top 20 poster at /r/genzedong lmao
It says it was made on the 16th of July 2019. So I would say that GZD was there, maybe not as big though.
Fucking hell. Do the chinese do english livestreams of their launches btw? they should. there's a lot of attractive US space content out there.
The inevitable outcome of the next 20 years is China opening up and the west retreating to their own great firewall
From my knowledge the Chinese shitposters are pretty fucking ruthless and makes channers looks like twitter lib.
Chen Weihua is just a teaser.
A lot of Chinese posters are also /pol/-tier nationalists, a lot of Chinese posters are rabid weebs, a lot of Chinese posters are annoying wonks with Chinese characteristics. There are just a lot of Chinese posters.
Consider it the best shot we have at a peaceful transition out of the US empire. They will never let Japan go, but if China and Japan can be friendly behind the boasting we have a shot of getting out of world war 3. Taiwan is still the big problem in the area since everyone wants to fight over it.
That honestly looks like the path we're on. Whether the EU can be coerced along is a big question.
"In the elusive Hermit Queendom of Southern England, a rabid nationalist cult continue to worship their God-Ordained Queen Elizabeth, as they retreat further into poverty. Their democratic neighbor, the socialist republic of Greater Ireland, Scotland and Wales continue their effort to de-escalate their nuclear-capable sister-nation, but so far have been unsuccessful. The DMZ between the two nations has been increasingly fraught with tension, as starvation becomes a common fact of life, even in the capital, Lon'Don"
Yes! You can watch this rocket's launch stream here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLtZlWvre88
hey thanks. I was searching but all I could find was cinematic trailers promoting the space program, no english stream.
Not to be a :LIB: pedant, but just some explanation. The space x debris has a control rocket on it that's supposed to direct the descent so it burns in atmosphere. The rocket malfunctioned somehow and hence the lightshow and crash of a fuel tank on a farm. The Long March doesn't have any descent control, the plan is afaik just let it fall and hope it lands in an ocean. Correct me please if you know more about rocket stuff.
Actually that's good you explained since I actually didn't know. Did The Long March have a planned trojectory to fall into the ocean or burn up, or are they actually neglectful enough to risk it falling on something?
I'd assume that they at least tried to get it close, it's not like it's hard to miss the ocean.
Also, the debris will be almost entirely burnt up upon re-entry. They even admit as much in the articles:
According to CBS News’ William Harwood, “a large portion of the rocket will burn up in the atmosphere and the odds of anyone or any specific community getting hit by surviving debris are remote.”
The booster stages for the Shuttles weren't controlled either. In fact most booster stages aren't controlled and are just dropped at high speed into the atmosphere to burn up.
Yeah, I have no doubts that the US media is actively fearmongering and blowing it up. It's really hard for me to find accurate information that doesn't hide behind a scary headline
They're running interference for Musk after his re-entry failure the other day. I'd honestly be more worried about a Musk rocket because they're supposed to be re-useable, so:
-
they won't burn up in the atmosphere and will be full sized (and partially fueled) when they hit
-
are meant to hit a landing pad, which means possibly passing over a populated area
Not that re-useable rockets are bad, but just shows how this is absolutely fearmonhering sinophobic "dumb chinese" trash.
Oh yeah for sure, it makes me furious. Showed it to someone and their first reaction was "yeah China just lets their space junk land whereever" rather than calling out elmo mosque and SpaceX.

I'm having a really hard time finding out. Two people on reddit said it had a control system that failed, but i cant find any articles that confirm, and the English Chinese news sites dont explain either. It is common for stuff to deorbit uncontrollably, but this rocket is quite large comparatively and wobbling a lot. It is still incredibly unlikely it hits anything.
According to CBS News' William Harwood, "a large portion of the rocket will burn up in the atmosphere and the odds of anyone or any specific community getting hit by surviving debris are remote."
...
The most significant re-entry breakup over a populated area was the shuttle Columbia, which entered in February 2003. When 200,000 pounds of spacecraft broke up over Texas, a significant amount of debris hit the ground, but there were no injuries.
...
Similarly, when Skylab re-entered in 1978, debris fell over Western Australia, but no injuries were reported.
Cool, they don't even know it's serious, they're just whining for no reason. At least they reminded everyone at the end of the article that the worst space disasters are all American.
If I remember correctly, the Columbia explosion and the Skylab burnup was more dangerous in the aftermath, as the debris was radioactive.
