The state department really saying the quiet part out loud, so this is a reminder that the ideology of the state department resulted in the Chinese exclusion act, an immigration policy so disgustingly evil that Hitler called it “inspirational”
The state department also has not had any meaningful reform since that time, leading to the unsurprising mindset of “this is the first time we will have a great power competitor that is not caucasian.”
CONTENT WARNING: Quote from Hitler
“(America is) the leader in developing explicitly racist policies of nationality and immigration” it was his only example of a country that “already pays obeisance, at least in tentative first steps, to the characteristic völkisch” [racial nationalism/ conception of the state.] “(There is) currently one state in which one can observe at least weak beginnings of a better conception. This is of course not our exemplary German Republic, but the American Union, in which an effort is being made to consider the dictates of reason to at least some extent. The American Union categorically refuses the immigration of physically unhealthy elements, and simply excludes the immigration of certain races.”
Yeah, but they're part of the newer western philosophy of dialectical materialism and socialism which bad
Pretty sure a cold(hopefully just cold) war with china is going to be the defining geopolitical situation for the next 50 years.
Definitely but tbh I would argue it's relatively recent. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the west switched to Islamic terrorism as their reason for militarism and invasion. From what I have seen, the switch to china has been in the works but it's has only really become certain over the past few years.
The crossover was around 2016 when focus went from Daesh to China
I'm not american so can't comment on regional stuff but from an outsider perspective a split on political lines / further autonomy for states to sell themselves off to private businesses could become a soft splintering
they are going with the Clash of civilizations bullshit, a book made to justify western chauvinism
Yeah, it’s incredible how brazen they are though I honestly can’t say it’s too shocking
Going with it again, one might add. This was already the ideological backdrop for the last 20 years of constant warfare. Pardon, did i say ideological? Of course i meant "the descriptive hypothesis", this weasely little fuck is just as neck-deep into capitalist realism as his supposed counterpart Fukuyama.
Also what the fuck does he think the Japanese empire was? We went to war with a non-white great power within the lifetime of this guy's dad at least. Plus the US did NOT think Russians let alone central asians were white ffs
Dumping poison and a fuckton of bombs on Southeast Asia was just a thing within the "western family" ok cool.
Um sweaty we had to give those children birth defects otherwise they might have had a promising future in their socialist country
We didn't lose the Vietnam war or even fight in it :side-eye-1: :side-eye-2:
So what's with all these headlines about the Chinese rocket? I don't get why people are freaking out when countries have been doing this for decades
Of course elsewhere in the article he says the risk is basically zero and maybe some rods will hit peoples houses mayyybe
No, I'm genuinely curious. It just seems like such an odd thing to fixate over that I'm wondering if there's something I'm missing
I just had an argument this morning with my dad about this. It's because it's a nakedly political act intending to amplify an event otherwise only relevent to the scientific community. The goal is to tie it to a continuing vague notion of red Chinese peril and lack of regulation of the country on the world stage.
Libs are gonna say “that was Trump’s administration not Biden’s”. They’re gonna make me unironically talk about the deep state 🙄
The deep state is one of the many concepts that were just burned during the last years. The term isn't new, it has originally been used for ages to describe the clandestine fascist networks that have been formed throughout the Turkish military, intelligence and law enforcement communities - and when you look at the Ergenekon group / Turkish deep state, you may find that all of that sounds awfully familiar to things going on in the US, in Germany and so on and must be going on in other countries as well. If applied carefully and in a non-cranky way, it's a highly useful concept to understand how networks of reactionaries form and operate within executive branches of government, yet outside of any electoral control. It's incredibly harmful on an ideological level that under Trump, this was warped into a dogwhistle for "there's a cabal of satanic cannibals running the show in D.C."
“there’s a cabal of satanic cannibals running the show in D.C.”
where's the lie
the pedophilia stans and freemason apologists will look at a street map of capitol hill and tell you Pierre L'Enfant (sus name btw) just really liked stars
deep state is one of the many concepts that were just burned during the last years. The term isn’t new
Well you can just ask them how many people they think get new jobs every 4 years
What do you think the guy who wrote that is doing these days?
Being a commie and american is depressing af. If you aren't american it's easy to shake your fist at the enemy, but it hurts when your country is the problem. Not fun times my friends.
We are in the belly of the beast when the time comes we can do some serious damage to the empire
We're playing all of our old hits - the dying reveries of a decaying empire.
