@categuerrical By which you mean, not at all? lol

Still, have to say, Dengism has proved pretty successful. The USSR is tragically dead but modern, Dengist China is leading the world in pretty much everything that matters so the scorecard is pretty clear~

@SweetSummerSN Bet you each and every person here eat pigs and sheep and cows without a second thought *eyeroll*

@sugabelly "unprofitable" it was pretty fucking profitable for the companies that made incredible money selling stolen/plantation goods back to Europe!

Just because the national governments subsidized the companies doesn't mean it wasn't an incredibly massive wealth transfer

[Rowan @alwaysgrowan]

@IsseiAsiax Religion truly is a sick plague on society whose primary purpose is reinforcing Patriarchy

That said. We saw what happened in Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Libya, Iran. When criticism of a religion reaches a country obsessed with war like the USA. No wonder leftys are like that!

[Rowan @alwaysgrowan]

@idkijustthibk It's probably because less than 2 decades ago we saw multiple wars launched in the middle east, which women's liberation being one excuse for it

And years later, we see the Taliban back in power, millions dead, and women's liberation further away than ever.

So....

@zayzoonNOW I mean yeah I agree. Agriculture is almost never a true driver of economic development, it was a poor strategy

But people are saying it's a form of colonialism or Soviet Imperialism, which is just blatantly false and laughable

[Rowan @alwaysgrowan]

@JihadalHaqq Lmao the person beneath me is dredging up a crime by the fucking Manchu Qing dynasty 300 years ago to deflect from this obvious nonsense, and then turning off replies so no one can't point out their blatant distraction

There's been 2 whole entire revolutions since then!

[Rowan @alwaysgrowan]

@JihadalHaqq Lmao how are the State Department checks treating you? That 1.5 billion dollars going to good use :D

Racism? Absolutely, plenty of racism and even more colorism in China
Colonialism and Imperialism??? What are you even talking about, clearly been smoking too much 😂😂😂

[Rowan @alwaysgrowan]

@brianluidog Definitely incorrect. The actual answer is that Indian restaraunts & food served in mainland China just... suck.

They do a very poor job of delivering and presenting the great variety and taste of Indian food, which would otherwise be beloved by Chinese consumers~

@silvxrkrw Where is this from? Is there another Shuukura translation somewhere I thought I just fully caught up with it

[Rowan @alwaysgrowan]

@Meta_Logos_35 Do you have any evidence for this whatsoever? Lmao. South Korean feminists aren't white worshipping either lmao what are you even talking about

[Rowan @alwaysgrowan]

@sharghzadeh Really stupid. There is certaintly no attempt to make China the "new Hegemon" and even moreso not the cultural one.

Chinese people learn English in school and university, and read science papers published in English. There's no reason to make Chinese the new global language

[Rowan @alwaysgrowan]

@floridiancrack Same with 'Gender Critical' people doing nothing but reinforcing gender & gender roles all day & everyday lol

[Rowan @alwaysgrowan]

@_b0xcutter It's extremely important that Avery is a woman. Kylar, Robin, & Sydney are also much much more compelling as boys

My DoL gender thesis has been cooking for too long....

[Rowan @alwaysgrowan]

@_b0xcutter Fem Avery is so peak I cannot stand any other interpretation lol

[Rowan @alwaysgrowan]

@01010yuyu I heard Asumi-chan has a asmr/voiced something. I've no personal interest in ASMR stuff myself so never actually found it but, well, it sounds exactly like what you're looking for lol

[Rowan @alwaysgrowan]

@yugocommie @SoulofPerdition That's also missing the point of the quote? It was the exact opposite of a dependency basis. In the West's banana republics, their agriculture products are bought cheaply with int'l companies as middlemen.
This was the USSR *subsidizing* Cuba's economy. Which is a different story

[Rowan @alwaysgrowan]

@Emptyempty86512 You have to learn the play the real game like the rest of us now!

......With backtracking from saves whenever something doesn't work out :o :o

[Rowan @alwaysgrowan]

@01010yuyu It's pretty short but "Old in Body, Young at Heart" is fun & wierd & might be what you're looking for~
