That explains about my work laptop. I swear that I clicked shutdown before I went on two week Christmas holidays!

Are you from that part of the world? Are your fishermen being driven away by Chinese navy despite having centuries long friendly relations with Chinese fishermen? Did Philippines allow China to set up base within their maritime shores? Did you guys actually ask Vietnamese and Filipinos apart reading pre-prepared script?

The American bases are there out of the hosting countries’ permission. Weird that tankies never mention what Vietnam and Philippines think of the Chinese navy bullying their fishermen, or China not leaving the shoals that is within the 200 nautical mile from Philippines, despite the International Court of Justice ruling that China’s presence in that shoal is illegal. But you know, got to keep flipping the script as an NPC…

Weird that you did not address South China Sea…

Techno-feudalism, ladies and gentlemen.

It pains me to say it, this century is indeed China’s century. Unless World War 3 happens if Thucydides’ trap is indeed the law of nature/ jungle.

The Nazis remilitarized which spurred short term economic growth, which was then used to pay for the extremely generous social welfare benefits to the Germans, who were appreciative of this because they were deeply traumatised by hyperinflation of the Great Depression. But this excessive government spending is turning the German wallets inside out; and the plunder of conquered nations gave Nazi Germany some needed cash injection to keep their economy going. If you don’t believe me, look up Hjalmar Schacht, Hitler’s economic minister, who warned the fuhrer that the state’s finances were nearly out in the late 1930s. Schacht’s savvy financial acumen had kept the Nazi German economy running longer than it should have been. He was dubbed the “dark wizard of finance”, partly because his confiscation of Jewish assets, before the war, yielded the Nazis much needed finances.

It’s definitely a community in Reddit. At first I didn’t take them seriously but now I realise it isn’t a joke. It may have been run by Heritage Foundation.

Ever since Trump’s full turn to fascism, I haven’t seen an ex friend post something far right on Facebook.

I also wonder what my ex housemate thinks of Trump now. He supported Trump because of promise of being anti-war.

Oh people. Insecurities really make people’s brain turn to mush. It’s especially bad for insecure men. As a guy, I am glad I was taught at early age to not give in to insecurities and that I should embrace my individuality.

Economists said that Kamala was a better choice but people thought otherwise.

Most people don’t realise Nazi Germany was on a brink of another economic collapse before Poland was invaded.

Hitler invaded Poland to plunder the country to stave off another impending economic collapse of Germany, thanks to his runaway excessive government spending. In that sense, he was distracting the Germans from being revealed on how bad of an administrator he was. Trump invaded Venezuela and wants to annex Greenland to distract people from the fact that he is a pedophile. And that’s a helluva weirder reason to go to war for distraction…

Me: Come on, pop already. There are funds betting on AI bubble burst, ready for me to invest in.

Nvidia has competitive edge. They won’t go bankrupt but they they will undermined heavily when the AI bubble pops.

Unless we live in a one-world government, the default set up is the Thucydides trap where one state tends to dominate.

Who’s going to dominate trade? Cos people are hoping it won’t be an authoritarian state like China.

This is why tech giants want to dissolve governments and the regulatory agencies.

A lot of countries are increasingly overreaching with privacy. There is global-wide coordination going on that we haven’t seen since the leftist international during Cold War, but this time it’s coming from the right.

I told you I will switch to Graphene OS, you don’t have to sell it to me.
