    I cannot imagine being a sane human being and having to day in day out make nothing but anti-China propoganda.

      You know that annoying kid in kindergarten that gets way too far in your personal space and then acts like you’re the asshole when you get uncomfortable because he wasn’t touching you?

      Imagine if that kid grew up into a country.

      “Basic economics shows us that China is having wars with 19 countries at the same time! Look at this completely unrelated line that’s only valid under ceteris paribus that I extrapolated to a geopolitical scale! I’m so smart!” /s

        Whenever I see someone using “basic economics” to debunk Marxism, I get an image of some fifth-grader using “basic arithmetic” to try and understand Einstein

          Economics is fake. It’s not a real science. Source: I majored in economics at a decent uni. And this YouTube type economics is definitely shit.

          • After Marx, mainstream economists are just like a doctors that would learn the medicine for 5 years then say “nope” and go back to leeches, mercury potions, marinated snakes, and putting children in the stove for 2 hail maries.

              This. And also that economics in us educational institutions is just propaganda. I don’t think it’s stupid. I think it’s malicious. It’s meant to convince people that the third world and other poor people are poor out of some natural law, not predation by imperialists and institutions like the IMF.

              To summarize: Capitalists corporations like Exxon and Raytheon get free lunches all the time. Milton Friedman can eat my ass.

            It’s a social (“soft”) science, as in you don’t plug stuff into equations and formulas and get exact predictable answers. It’s not fake, but the whole “this line says it so it must be true” narrative is pure BS and literally no one, not even liberals, that genuinely study economics think like that.

            • Poorly educated poor people is the point unfortunately. Neoliberals have forgotten every lesson ever learned by their predecessors in a mad dash for endless short term growth. An economic system that literally cannot plan farther than three months ahead is not compatible with nation building. The western system is an ouroboros.

              I once read an incredibly damning account of the American education system but I can’t find it anymore or remember the title of it

      These people are just coping. They think the quad is a meaningful anti China alliance despite India being an SCO partner, one of the leading importers of Russian, oil, and a Russian arms customer. Real multivector shit from the Indian government, but “iT’s OgRe” for the PRC somehow.

      It’s still ongoing (as it has since the foundings of the PRC and ROI), but it no longer has potential to boil over into real conflict.

        Hasn’t it been going since the Qing Dynasty?

        In fact, Taiwan has more territorial disputes with India and other surrounding countries than the PRC, because Taiwan claims “all” of China, including territory that the CPC ceded to neighbours because they think the CPC is an illegitimate government so all their actions are fake.
