America’s record at keeping global order is deeply flawed, but the only winners from its drift towards isolationism will be Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin
In Xi’s brave new world, subservience and surveillance replace shock and awe.
No fuckin' wayyy!
Just imagine the hellish dystopia if all the drones :amerikkka: uses for terror bombing were used to monitor people without blowing up them and everyone else who happens to be in the blast radius :scared:
This is genuinely more frightening to the average liberal, privacy being one of the paramount ideals. Which is why things like Snowden's stuff on five eyes had to be supressed fast.
These dumbasses live in 1970 and don't realise modern surveillance in the west is already so pervasive the Stasi would find it overkill and ask if they could wind it back a bit.
If the government wants to track you, they can and will. It's just not worth their time to pay attention.
No fuckin' wayyy!
I love how he is implying that Xi would be a good guy if only he chose a random country to do shock and awe to.
Using drones for something other than turning the 'target' and a nearby playground into ash? Sounds pretty totalitarian to me
