Good. Fuck Five Eyes.

If the US ever supports democracy, it is purely by accident.

Brave evangelists in shambles.

We don’t get to vote against evil here.

Citizens can fix it real quick. My little town had a pro Zionist billboard that lasted about 3 days before being destroyed. Shame on us it lasted that long.

Public lands are the sovereign wealth.

Most of us have hands. This is just a sex toy. The novelty of it being shaped like a whole-ass woman will soon wear off and turn into the same self loathing.

Maybe some men like the idea, but I bet most of them would soon find the experience less fulfilling than they had hoped.

I’m saying Taiwan was able to develop its niche due to its strategic (geographic) interest to the US, not the other way around. China has raised millions out of poverty via cheap labor, yes. However, the reason is that its size allows it to maintain ownership of the profits, which are reinvested in China.

There are exceptions of course, but they are often less about “finding a niche”, and more about politics. Taiwan is an important client state of the US for geopolitical strategy. Such relationships can include more favorable trade deals. I don’t know much about Singapore except that that it’s all about the finance “industry”. Seems like it’s the place where Eastern and Western billionaires can make financial transactions with each other.

“Free trade” means big countries dominating smaller ones. In what way can a small Caribbean nation compete with the US for example? Say they have a self sustaining economy. They have farms to feed their people, and textile mills to clothe them. Free trade opens their markets up, and they are quickly overwhelmed by the mega corps and their economies of scale. Now local industry is driven out of business or subsumed by foreign competitors. Maybe tourism? Multinationals buy up all the hotels, beaches and restaurants. Locals get minimum wage jobs serving and cleaning. Any attempt at “protectionism” incurs penalties under the free trade agreements.

Well, no shit. You think we stopped developing exploding car tech in the 80’s?

Woke shitted my pants.

Some people seem to really hate down votes. I don’t give a shit either way.

There are some instances that disable downvotes altogether!

Twitter seems like it has basically turned into YouTube comments.

Hey @Soatok@pawb.social ! Just want to say that I really appreciate your blog, and that it has inspired some really illuminating discussion lately in my security-focused group chats.
