@Kahlissee Some day, the empire will stumble and turn its attention from protecting this callous, evil country.
When that happens, may the world gleefully squash all memory of it and salt the earth it grows from.
Here you go folks, consider this an exclusive for the non-Chinese speaking world.
Many Chinese have seen it, I've seen several short clips from this video over the years. Just this morning, for the first time, I've seen the entire video.
I've arranged English subtitles. Watching without subtitles it is hard to understand what is happening. The video is 12 minutes long and worth a watch.
"Managing" their decline sounds reasonable—until you realize what that actually means.
Empires don’t retire gracefully.
They cling. They lash out. They sabotage.
When Washington talks about "managing decline," what they really mean is controlling the terms.
Keeping their grip on global finance, trade routes, and military alliances while pretending to step back.
They don’t want a fair multipolar world.
They want a world where they remain the dealer, just with a smaller stack of chips.
Look at history.
Did the British Empire "manage" its decline peacefully?
Or did it leave a trail of coups, civil wars, and puppet regimes as it collapsed?
The U.S. is no different.
Their decline isn't just a geopolitical shift—it��s a reckoning for every country they've exploited.
And they won’t just let that happen.
So no, it’s not in everyone’s interest to let them "manage" anything.
The world doesn’t need Washington's permission to move forward.
It needs to move past them.
Former US Special Forces:
“I know war. What’s going on in Palestine right now is not war.”
“It’s genocide.”
“It’s the ethnic cleansing of a specific people to take their land.”
“US taxpayers are paying for this, which makes it even more frustrating.”
“This needs to stop.”
55-year-old US American finds new purpose and is excited.
"Lied to me my whole life. Food pyramid lies. Native American history lies. Everything false.
Why hate Russia, China? Don't think so.
RedNote gives new purpose at 55. Bruce Lee inspires. Learn Chinese, visit China.
See lies firsthand: red dye, low-quality food. Pharma rules, corporations run country.
Poor, homeless, veterans neglected. I'll care for my Xiaohongshu."

@RalphNader Mr. Nader, please help do something about the state of software in this country.
It's beyond absurd that you can't own a copy of software anymore. It's completely anti-citizen. You can't just buy something and use it offline as you like.
Everything is subscription now.
@BlakeC@CarlZha oh no, I tried their method on the Douyin website. It would work for iOS, but to change your store, you have to cancel existing subs, which is kind of hot garbage IMO.
"Freedom of speech".
American government is terrified of citizens getting access to unfiltered information from other countries.
They're willing to just keep banning apps like whackamole.
@RnaudBertrand What exactly do folks in the west who say countries are "authoritarian" mean?
What would you call banning a popular social media app?
The hypocrisy is shameless.
@zhao_dashuai@AKDirty7 They folded it like that because the ore was horrible.

"Japanese sword makers fold the metal is because of the inherent impurities in the material. Pure, homogenized, high-quality steel does not need to be folded, and can actually become weaker..."
Israel Is Killing Civilians In Gaza On Purpose, And It’s Not Even Debatable
Just so we’re all clear, it is a fully established fact that the IDF is directly, deliberately killing civilians in Gaza. There was a time in the early days of the genocide when this could be disputed, but that is no longer true. The facts are in and the case is closed. It’s happening.
Israeli soldiers are telling the press that they’ve been knowingly killing civilians and then falsely categorizing them as terrorists afterward. Countless doctors have testified to routinely encountering dead and wounded children who’ve been shot in the head by Israeli snipers. Israeli media reports have revealed that the IDF is intentionally targeting civilian infrastructure and using AI systems to specifically target suspected Hamas members when they are at home with their families instead of out on the battlefield.
The debate is over. The “human shields” argument has been completely, thoroughly debunked. If you still deny that this is happening, its because your worldview is so false that it requires you to deny facts and reality.

@lovettejallow@KardellGreen I got told a lot of things when I'd "suddenly" shift gears. "Are you a robot?" "How are you so cold?".
In reality, I'd been processing for a long time, dealing with bad or toxic behavior, figuring out my feelings.
Then one day, the last straw and I'd be done forever.
