China go pffft.

Never said that someone who appeals to neither base nor centre is a good option :) just sayin that the right wing in my country does much better when it focuses on cost of living problems , we have compulsory voting so capturing the moderates is a requirement of getting elected here. how in an incre...

with Iran/Israel on the edge of escalating and ditto Ukraine/Russia, the chances of proxy wars turning into regional wars are very high now.

which means this purchase is the bet on it going pearshaped.

Its easier to blend in with the correct local cultural accesories

Deadly serious Trans visibility day for those that observe

Semantics The opposite of globalism is nationalism/protectionism ... Like your examples. Immigration is bad when its run by globalists. Lower immigration that doesnt disrupt the local economy badly is a good thing. The elites only get away with it because 50% of the population benefits from ever inc...

Western nations, even to keep things as is, need 10s of millions immigrant every year .. and .. would be fortunate if still would get "white" immigrants .. there not many white willing immigrants left .. Chinese, Indian, African are the only choice. thats more true for Iran, Russia, China...

you have no idea what you are talking about it yet you insist on saying it over and over and over. western joe has already lost the race to the bottom, we have 2 generations now cant afford a house in their own countries. western joe cant get health care anymore, those social services you babble on ...

oh absolutely - Its really hard to even imagine a comedy in the current corporatised puritan nightmares. cant be sexist, cant be rascist, cant be ableist, cant punch down, cant punch sideways. (ya yah, all those concepts are dodgy but thats besides the point) cant annoy sponsors or future employers....

Why does their need to be a benefit to the west???

Some good profits for the corporates, more power to the government and a nice distraction from endlessly deteriorating standard of living

Kick off the multi polar world with a bang.

Im possibly a bit jaded for nostalgia - Ghostbusters never really stayed in my memory. the first one I do vaguely remember - the theme song atleast had a catchy bass line which Ive always loved, even if it was ripped from another tune. Im going to just pout that the thing I do most remember from tha...

Im already comfortable with a war against Iran and Russia - seems almost impossible for it to not happen. doubt China will go all in - they will play both sides and then step back, and stay on Chinas side. India has already decided it wen too far towards the Russian side, is now moving back to the U...

globalism is an absurdity. multi polar world full of countries with mutal interests is all we can have now. open immigration, world market .. gone. cooperation between countries that trust eachother and are culturally compatible is what comes next. Russia and China have both proven a western country...

that one has the surreal AI thing going on.

Ive been half following the Diddy thing on twatter. Who woulda thunk the guy that called himself Puff Daddy the Gangsta Pimp was actually a child exploiter and trafficer. Still fairly doubtful the client list will ever make the light of day, after Epstein , you cant get cynical enough. One thing I w...

China and Iran are different stories to Russia.

Russia has only ever grown through butchery and anytime the butchered get a chance to leave, they do so.

it worked for some - now they own all the worlds data, and the statistical average of all us is being called "AI"

their is a huge difference between what is better for the "country" from a government/corporate perspective and what is better from an average joe perspective. average joes do better with less people, which means cheaper houses and more food and better lifestyles and better wages corporate...

Makes sense.

A primitive people that the rest of us evolved from.
