The Chinese thinking the rest of the world is as fucked up as their government.

He's not even from China but Spain.

Here's another catch: Spain's governments, like 99% of the rest of this shit world, actively promote assimilation of minorities they don't officially recognize. Minorities with North African ascendancy are discouraged from speaking Arabic or Amazigh languages in schools and public spaces in the name of protecting "harmony" (but if they speak English or French it is celebrated, because you will benefit businesses and the economy!)

Ah yes, let's compare having an official language to re-education camps in china

Amazing how some people actually care about Maduro, a guy most of Venezuela wants in a ditch. Like worry about what will happen in Venezuela and protest Trumps use of force, but who gives a shit about Maduro's fate.

Well it's probably not in minnasotan's best interests to have a seriously retarded person running the state.

[Nintex]

Can Minnesotan's of Era reassure us that there's no chance of a massive backlash and therefor out of nowhere election of Republicans bevause of this fraud scandal? We aren't going to witness something like Virginia a couple of years ago where a normally Dem voting state falls hook, line, and sinker for the DEI scare and votes GOP?

This is not the cycle to be worried about anything like this, but always remain vigilant.

Yeah no one will care that the Somalis defrauded for billions

Oh look, an administrator enters the conversion...

I'll wait for the official announcement. This seems like a game of telephone and I'm tired of getting upset about things before the facts are out

[Potato]

The same things every other colonial power has exploited and stolen from us?

Just because we don't have oil reserves like Venezuela doesn't mean we don't have a shit ton of natural resources. For example, we are the #2 country in the Americas for coal production, after the United States.

Coal

How else do you make steel?

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

Also, most of the world still uses coal to generate electricity

[Potato]

It wouldn't even be safe for a leader like Gustavo Petro to travel to the US at this point, in my opinion. Which is problematic considering that's where the fucking UN headquarters is and where they hold meetings of the General Assembly. How can international diplomacy work at all with this kind of threat? Of course, last time he was there, he had his visa revoked and was removed from the US because he dared to engage in political speech. I could see him being kidnapped now with this escalation.

Seriously, the UN needs to move the General Assembly in response. They won't, but they still need to.

The UN as a whole is a joke and needs to be dismantled. We need to try yet again but this time without a bully council. And if the bullies refuse to join who cares.

So some kind of debating club?

I think China will take Taiwan on their own time based on economic and military conditions.

I think the diplomatic side is of lesser concern. The same group of western leaders making statements criticizing Maduro without mentioning Trump's war crimes will still criticize China. Hypocrites don't stop their hypocrisy just because they got caught. And China can argue back and win at the UN Assembly. But these things don't actually matter. Might makes right.

This guy.  

From that thread:

I think the first test of this for China might be the freedom of navigation transits through the Taiwan strait.

It would be plausible to see an increased challenge to, or reluctance to allow a US carrier group to be anywhere nearby now they have a reputation for being more warlike.

Also Croix is clarifying the earlier post:

Maybe you should re-read my post because it seems you missed my entire point: he doesn't need to do any of these things, he has remained in power with minimal consequences for 10 years now despite everything being known (ok, he lost an election, and won it again, meanwhile he continued to get richer and richer and influence USA politics).

Xi Jinping needs to do these things because otherwise he would be out of power soon. The USA wishes it had half of China's grassroots level of culture of criticism towards authority, protesting, and history of revolutionary politics.

Also, technicisms and all that but China is not a fascist state, unlike the current USA. It doesn't have a (state-directed) culture of glorification of violence especially against minorities, oligarchs and the big corporations don't run the government (the communist party actively tries to control and restrict their power for their own aims), and importantly it doesn't employ a rhetoric of ethnic (white) supremacism which sees ethnic minorities as the evil other to be enslaved or exterminated; among the main things it constitutes a fascist state and which the USA absolutely does have. You are confusing certain forms of authoritarianism with that. Oh, and I would absolutely prefer to live in China than in the fucking US.

Also, when I put people on ignore is because I notice a consistent repeated pattern of posting and for the sake of my own mental health wellbeing, not because I choose to remain ignorant.

I'm sorry but posts like this are insulting towards all the victims of the regime in China. You don't rather want to live in a country that has literal concentration camps.

If you had post what you did in china without a VPN you would be in huge problems

I'm sorry, I don't know if you missed that I have said Xi Jinping's government is terrible (including their assimilation policies of Uyghurs, among other things). Also, are you implying that the USA doesn't have concentration camps or that you can't go to prison for arbitrary things, such as protesting? Because you are very naïve if you think so.

Also, you don't need a VPN in China to post in ERA and write a post like the one I wrote, and certainly not to criticize the government with your friends, I do so all the time on WeChat (a different thing is doing so in well-known public media, that can potentially get you in trouble).

What I find insulting is the condescending level to which some people go to delude themselves they aren't living in fascism and are better than these Chinese.

China the friend of minorities is something new.
I wonder what Tibet says to that, or the Uyghurs during their "education courses" or work shift in their cultural theme park.

Thank you for your disingeneous post, maybe you would like to point out where I said that. I said the Chinese government doesn't actively promote hate speech nor violence towards ethnic minorities, because it doesn't. Try posting something like that in social media (like a white supremacist would do in the USA) and some nice police officer is gonna come to your home to call you for a lengthy interrogation mate.

Tankies gonna tank

Why are we talking about what Europe, Mexico and Canada should do when you pieces of shit Yank fucks should have gotten rid of Trump long ago. You spineless asswipes have been and are somewhow still too complacent to do what needs to be done. You could have prevented all of this.

Pretty sure the people you invade and bomb hates America more.

The people I invade? Oh go fuck yourself man.

It was supposed to read as royal "you" as "you americans", but if it helps the self pity while your country invade and leave a trail of dead bodies that it's actually you that have it rough in this situation, knock yourself out.

Gotta love people making us feel like we're evil for not being able to sacrifice our literal lives without any guarantee it'll make a difference.

Fuck the United States, but nobody hates America more than us Americans who want it to not be a fascist hellhole. But also fuck anyone trying to make us feel like it's our fault for what Trump is doing even though we're doing what little we can instead of snapping our fingers and making him go away.

Ugh. I'm tired of this

This is peak Americanism. Yeah there's no way you can hate your country more than people that have been brutalized by the US around the world. Fuck. I can't even believe you wrote that.

I'm not talking about shitting on the country, this country is fucking terrible, I hate it. But American people like you and me, who hate this, are getting blamed like "this is your fault". Like. It's insanely misdirected anger.

Its our country. It is our fault even if we hate what's happening. We can't just distance ourselves from what's going on as ugly as it is.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/us-politics-2025-ot2-the-2025-elections-the-government-shutdown-and-the-redistricting-reckoning.1320466/page-149#post-149661475

I didn't chose to born here, and I can't afford to leave. I protest because I have to. This is insanity to act like Trump's acts of aggression and evil that I voted against, donated against, protested against are my fault!!

Am I going crazy here??

Its our country. Its our country men. Its our culture. Its our history. Its our fault. We don't get to just distance ourselves when things get ugly and drift back when things are looking good. We own this by being Americans and people rightfully hold us accountable for our shared sins even if we hate what's going on. I'm sure there were tons of Germans in the 30's and 40's that thought just like us in regards to Hitler and the Nazis. Still doesn't mean they get to go, "I didn't agree with the holocaust. Stop being so mean to me. I was just born here."

https://www.resetera.com/threads/us-politics-2025-ot2-the-2025-elections-the-government-shutdown-and-the-redistricting-reckoning.1320466/page-149#post-149661832

I don't think you get what I mean. We are fighting this. Not enough of us but I'm not talking about people who shrug their shoulders. We're talking about people actively fighting and protestibg the government.

And yeah, the Germans in the 30s and 40s who hated the Holocaust aren't responsible for it. That's a pretty obvious take, I thought. I'm not saying anything about who they were as people, they could have been shit people, you could make that argument if they just did nothing and watch it happen, but that's not what we're talking about.

The amount of harrassment my leftist Russian friend got online has been terrible. Like does he just deserve it? This is kind of nuts

I'm of the opinion that you don't get to wave the flag around posturing about its positives and then disregard or distance yourselves from the ugly parts. I never said you weren't fighting. I'm saying fighting against this doesn't let us off for being a part of the system that allowed for all this to happen or the culture that birthed it. This didn't start with Trump and it won't end with him. Great you're fighting but you don't get to shut out the noise. We need to hear it.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/us-politics-2025-ot2-the-2025-elections-the-government-shutdown-and-the-redistricting-reckoning.1320466/page-149#post-149662489

I'm gonna give up talking about this, like you said. I should've heeded your warning, lol. I don't really have the mental heath capacity to engage with this conversation. Not after everything that's happened last year.

I guess everyone is angry and nothing productive will be done by talking about this. I'll just keep fighting and doing what I can locally and try ignore the weird assholish commentary online since it's not really going to stop.

Also doesn't help whenever I talk about this people accuse me of "defending America" when I hate this country and have wanted to leave it my whole life. lol

Such an evil entity that they call America.

If Trump invades my country, I'm willing to pick up a gun and put my life on the line to stop it. And I'll probably die doing it. Many of my friends and family won't have much of a choice either.
I'm not saying you should start a revolution, but it really, really sucks seeing Americans saying stuff like this. Maybe just let people shit talk your garbage facist country and take the hit on the chin.
Edit: to further clarify, being helpless and hopeless and afraid of losing your comfort, safety and freedom is a luxury. Understand this when you are responding to people who are scared.

I'm willing to die if they do the same for Canada.

I agree with you, these kinds of answers are fucking jarring.
