Sorry, really just liked the headline, couldn’t resist.

The way liberals always jump to blaming foreigners for political problems in the US is both absurd and, honestly, kind of fascist.
True, but I think the article is meant as more sort of like a “how can they (the GOP) be so stupid?” type of thing.
The article still presents the Chinese conspiracy as being a legitimate possibility - it reeks of Orientalism.
I didn’t even consider the possibility that people would consider Republicans to be literally the result of a Chinese plot (although there was open Russian intervention on Trump’s side). But I suppose it is entirely possible people would read things this and come to that conclusion.
It’s like if one is dependent on a person with a personality disorder for a length of time, one ends up behaving as a person with a personality disorder. Keep not addressing the wounds and doing the shadow work, that becomes a full -blown personality disorder.
If you understand extreme wealth, you’d understand that we already have pseudo-communism for the rich.
Once you’re in the 10s/100s of millions and higher, you basically get even more free money for doing absolutely nothing. Just hire a financial advisor, and they will tell you how to diversify so that your risk almost drops to zero. You get free money for nothing.
They. Get. Free. Money. For nothing. It’s complicated, but also it really is that simple.
The only very small risk is extreme market or society collapse, like the great depression. But they’ve been good about keeping the system stable for their benefit.
That’s not “pseudo-communism,” though, that’s just capitalism for the bourgeoisie.
Word play on the “they get free stuff in communism” schtick.
Kinda? Communism is about satisfying the needs of everyone through sound economic planning and collectivized production, what you are describing is someone getting vast riches for free just because they own stuff. I’m being nitpicky, I’m aware.
I was being facetious. Pseudo in my mind at the time was not serious. Again, right wingers think communism/socialism is when you “get free stuff”.
I thought they were a Russian conspiracy? What next, the Democratic Party is a ruzzian Putinist conspiracy / s
The Democratic Party is an Iranian insurgency.
Americans, Americanly doing American stuff, in America:
“What are we, a bunch of orientals?”
That chair looks uncomfortable.
Trust the plan.
This move makes sense if you plan on decoupling from China and accelerating global warming to destroy the rest of the world to enshrine your hegemony for the rest of this century and next by being one of the few livable, somewhat insulated places that can be a viable climate fortress.
You need China to make things like solar with batteries viable. But if you know you’re going to war with them, decouple from them, etc you want to be on dirty things like coal you can just use entirely locally. All while helpfully poisoning those unnecessary workers you’re positive that AI and robotics will replace.
republiCCan Party. Coincidence? I think not.
