  • There are plenty of alternatives to eat the rich.

    UBI does not make the rich any poorer. It just decentralizes power so that all can survive and eliminates crime.

    While our electoral politics is divided between either “pro business” or “hamas supporting communist radical left”, it could seem reasonable to constrain oligarchy and Israel first rule while still being pro economic growth and prosperity. This requires an “eat the media stooges” who refuse to tell the difference along with a forceful message that the DNC doesn’t support.

    Understanding that DNC are worthless pig fuckers meant to fundraise and not empower ordinary people is step 1 to progress.



  • The notion that AI will solve the climate crisis is unbelievably stupid, not because of any theory about what AI may or may not be capable of, but because we already know how to fix the climate crisis!

    Its a political problem. Nationalizing the western oil companies to prevent them from lobbying, and to invest their profits in renewables, is a solution, but no party in the CIA Overton window would support it. If war and human suffering can be made a priority over human sustainability, then oil lobbyists will promote war.


  • The example of Ukraine is discouraging to any “Taiwan militarist extremism”. What instigates an invasion or blockade of Taiwan by China is Taiwan declaring its acceptance of NATO membership, and US missile bases, or 51st state./US territory.

    Both the Taiwanese population and current parliamentary majority are against the path of national suicide that Ukraine has taken. US promise to bomb TSMC themselves, and the failure to defeat Russia, in order to focus on creating war in Taiwan is not going to have short term success in convincing Taiwanese to follow Ukraine’s stupidity. Ukraine was “blessed” with extremely hateful nationalists with ww2 and prior grudges against Russia, and an opponent that seemed to be weakening. Fortunately, Trump threatening to force Taiwan to pay for US protection instead of fomenting nazi-like extremism, with cash/weapons support of such groups, cannot possibly be successful in instigating war.

    1. Ethnic supremacy supporting genocide of “inferior” is the lesser criteria.
    2. Anti-communism. The major centrality.

    Germany’s resentment of Jews stemmed from German zionism’s cooperation with US to defeat Germany in WW1, and Jews as communist leaders in Russia and Europe, as well as Jewish diaspora voting for the main (communist) opposition party in Germany, before Reichstag fire provided opportunity to ban the party.

    Ukraine’s ethno-nationalism is heavily inspired and celebrating, at the top ruler level, of its ww2 nazi collaboration path that included extermination camps and SS divisions massacring other ethnicity non soviet occupied/protected villages and towns. Today’s demonic support for Ukrainian nazis from Europe is entirely motivated by Stalin/USSR derangement syndrome, and there is no hate the US won’t politically manipulate to subjugate idiots into devoting their subjugation to a war on Russia.

    Nazis and Islamic fundamentalists (Syria and Iraq examples) are self-motivated destabilizing agents for US empire. Romanian NATO intervention in democracy is a reaction against “far right anti-nazi”. Anti-naziism is now a anti-zionist position. Neocon diaspora supports outright naziism in Ukraine and Israel, and the brainwashed left that tolerates naziism and Islamic fundamentalist agents of Empire is no obstacle to far right at home that includes in US a neo-nazi faction that hates muslims and loves Israel to the point in attacking university BDS anti genocide protesters. The level of American brainwashed stupidity supporting your own slavery and oppression is beyond comprehension, except for the fact that DNC got the election result that it thinks is the most sustainable for the neocon Israel first DNC, and that is beyond morons comprehension level.


  • This is exactly why they want Taiwan

    The US wants to destabilize every country as long as destabilization means hatred of non US dominance institutions. It is not critical to China to take Taiwan by force, Taiwanese polling supports status quo at 80%, and so they don’t want to be come Ukraine puppet. Taiwan’s current parliament will not support stupid for next 4 years. Still, the danger of breaking US-China trade, or failing in extreme ultimatums against Europe, is ignoring of US export controls to the avantage of EU and Taiwan tech.

    China does have a delete America program but it could license CUDA, and Nvidia driver compatibility for purposes of giving it away to its GPU industry. Main problems listed in OP is Nvidia’s mature ecosystem that affects AMD as well. There is a “delete America” program in China that is forced by US short sightedness. It is catching up. Drivers will get stable, and yields improve. But by tariffing energy, the US becomes a terrible place to build datacenters. Solar is perfectly fine for 24/7 datacenters in any country with decent grid because the bottleneck is daytime/peak transmission, and a small battery is enough to get to low night demand that can use grid peaker resources and spare transmission capacity. Placing datacenters in non US colony countries is path to utilizing them for entire world’s AI/computing needs, as alluded to in OP.

    The shortsighted US “national security” measures look stupider the more time passes without war on China, and “delete America” progresses. US hasn’t been serious about national security in last 40 years. Just in funneling the most money possible to oligarchy with little military value returned. Naval warfare/force projection is dead strategy. China’s wealth (PPP) advantage and military production rate/value is well ahead of US, and as a manufacturing power, can be increased as well. Its aims of economic abundance are clearly more humanist than US approach, and clearly more welcome to anyone/nation not corrupt and evil.

    OP issues may be real, but if China were forced to improve the stability/ecosystem of domestic options, they can right now. China has banned Nvidia (and intel/amd) in certain sectors this week. Bosch and other German Auto sectors are investing huge in China manufacturing, and to compete in Chinese supply chain. Chinese EV, self driving, and robotics are well ahead of west even with sanctions, so that sector seems safe. Betting on China dominance 5-10 years from now is a bet you can give 10:1 odds on. Nuclear annihilation means you won’t have to pay. Time is on China’s side.





  • There is a good onion piece on how the media is struggling to find a motive along the permitted divisiveness issues it helps narrate.

    This is temporary. Surely the pro hamas antifa climate alarmist radical left will need to a harsher crack down, or Iran will win. They hate our freedom of having “the best healthcare in the world”, and the great innovation leader that UNH is for technology/AI advancement in cutting “wasteful” cost. We cannot let radical communists interfere in “America’s greatness”





  • Even if you love oil extortionists and their bribes, global warming denial includes not funding adaptation/protections from its effects. In the case of forest fires, it is also a major source of additional CO2 emissions. Trees/land globally are counted on to suck up 14 gt of CO2 per year, if they don’t burn, and have enough water to live. In 2023, net co2 absorbtion was only 0.5 gt. 1/10th usual amount with “usual fires”. 2024 had big fires in Amazon.

    The cheapest non-energy-related global warming mitigation is forest management and fire containment.
