@RnaudBertrand There's a study that showed that the top 10% owned about 67% of the country's wealth in the US. If the country gives significantly disproportionate power to 10% at elections, can it really be called a democracy?

[Gamedev Against Poverty @gamedevphysics]

@RnaudBertrand That's because western institutions believed in capitalism so much that even their elections are up for sale.

If you have money you can buy the media to influence the voters, and if that fails you can even buy the politicians themselves since they too need money for elections.

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

Absolutely hilarious for the FT to argue the West is losing to China because "liberal market democracies operate with greater accountability to voters."

Hilarious and, of course, absurdly wrong. China is winning precisely because it's obsessively focused on delivering for its people: infrastructure, improving living standards, reducing poverty, etc.

"Liberal market democracies" are losing precisely because they forgot who democracies are supposed to be accountable to.

@neueblau @fedurante How kind. Should all the "liberated" countries team up and "liberate" Japan from the US as a thank-you gift?

We'll just do the same things Japan did: massacre, enslave, torture, human experimenting, forced prostitution, rape etc of 30+ mil locals.

desculpa mas banir a rússia de jogar por conta de guerra e permitir que os estados unidos continuem jogando normalmente não faz sentido

@kyleichan So now I completely discard MSM articles on China (and really other MSM news about the global south) because they spent decades lying about them.

China probably blocked MSM for the same reason as me: to prioritise truthful reporting, and that is an indictment on MSM, not China.

[Gamedev Against Poverty @gamedevphysics]

@kyleichan For the first few decades of my life, I have a completely inaccurate view of China from MSM to the point it's complete fiction.

It was only after the rise of social media when a conflicting narrative appeared, and I had to physically visit China myself to know which is true.

[Gamedev Against Poverty @gamedevphysics]

@AngelicaOung Growing older for me is understanding that "free speech" in the west just means "free to be purchased by big money" i.e. propaganda tool for the rich.

It is my opinion that we never had true free speech here in the west, and thus we don't have the right to criticise others.

Congrats to Israel, they killed another peace deal. We were at 95% done. After Puppet Trump talked to Netanyahu, he came out with new completely unrealistic demands:

1. Israel doesn't have to abide by the peace deal and can keep attacking Lebanon. So, only a ceasefire for one side.
2. We have to take out all the enriched uranium on day one, not in the second stage.
3. All Middle Eastern countries have to betray the Palestinians and sign Abraham Accords to normalize relations with Israel without ending the occupation.

These are purposely impossible, so that the war continues. And Israel is bombing Lebanon heavily now to try to reignite the war.

They are not our allies, Israel is a terrorist government which has captured our government and media. They're using it to drive permanent war that Americans are forced to pay for.

@RnaudBertrand @rooteruditorum @AlboMP The entire west disgust me. The way they constantly gang together to isolate and sabotage the prosperity of 1.4 billion people instead of just working together for common prosperity is just pathetic. It's just they can't bear the thought of not being a superior race to others.

[Gamedev Against Poverty @gamedevphysics]

@AngelicaOung Neolibs constantly warn us that Taiwan will be "attacked" if the US doesn't do this or that imperialistic/warmongery thing. Non-stop lecturing from them, yet not a shred of evidence since China has only been focused on building their economy.

I'm so sick of neolibs.

[Gamedev Against Poverty @gamedevphysics]

@MaitreyaBhakal "designed exclusively for its market" sounds sus as hell and I'm not surprised China is refusing it

[Gamedev Against Poverty @gamedevphysics]

@bricstime @joekent16jan19 Americans thinking they're a democracy is the biggest joke of them all.

[Joe Kent @joekent16jan19]

God bless Thomas Massie.

He walks out of this with his honor intact. He’s a patriot & kept his integrity.

As long as the voters give their votes to whoever can run the most ads we will have politicians who are purchased by foreign governments & corporate interests.

[Gamedev Against Poverty @gamedevphysics]

@Kathleen_Tyson_ If it was just Australia looking after our own interests at least that's better, but it turns out we're looking after US interests.

Our government is selling us out for the pedofile elites across the ocean.

This is too embarrassing.

[Kathleen Tyson @Kathleen_Tyson_]

Australia deserves the isolation it is determining for itself with self-harming aggressions against China. Forced divestments in rare earths will deter all Chinese investment in Australia, incur retaliatory measures.

Who sold Australia jet fuel last month? China.

@_OldMan___ @Nasdorachi @Spill_Eviction If we assume the inside of the suit is dry, would it work if we fold it inside out instead, so that the water from the suit is not exposed to the ground?

@rphkg I have seen the photos of the lynched and murdered young soldiers. They need to be in jail before these serial killers take their next victim.

@AngelicaOung I visited HK a few weeks ago and it's a super vibrant city! You should visit too if you haven't already - very cool city. Plus it's so near to Shenzhen and Guangzhou which are also very cool cities.

[Gamedev Against Poverty @gamedevphysics]

@mekimosabe @AngelicaOung As long as reunification hasn't happened, the US will continue to have its claws in Taiwan, and will have disproportionate say in Taiwan's fate, as evidenced to how Americans (including the government) constantly speaking as if Taiwan belongs to them.
