So I said “Listen here Jack! You gotta stop what you are doing before you make me angry!” and then to show him I meant business I gave 'im a billion dollars worth of guns.

Guy who made the video sure sounds like a spy. “I dont really care… but here is why you should… I dont support either side… but you better support the status quo.”
The war in Sudan has so far been marked by a lot of incompetency and mismanagement by government forces (the SAF). After months of bitter fighting, in late 2023, the opposing Rapid Support Forces suddenly expanded their control towards the southeast of Khartoum after not a lot of resistance, most notably taking the city of Wad...

Wow! this is some of the stupidest shit I have heard in days. There are more citizens of the USA and UK that own property in Australia than Chinese citizens.
Your “reportedly” statement is made up bullshit and the “ghost cities” were a lie. they are now full of people. Our backwards ass government can’t conceive of infrastructure until a decade after its needed and then they get bent over the barrel with budget blowouts that cost the taxpayers double the original stated costs. Meanwhile China spent a bunch of money during the financial crisis when materials and labor were cheap to build infrastructure and you act like it is a bad thing.
Who do we rent from if we can’t afford to buy a house in this alternate vision of the future?
The government. Also if the 10% of homes that were empty on the night of the last census were suddenly dropped onto the market it would cause a massive drop in prices so more people could afford homes.

lathe-of-heaven China demands payment in the form of the public companies Melei plans to privatize. China ends up owning all the services in Argentina. A new communist party is set up in Argentina. All services are offered free to members of the Communism with Chinese Characteristics Party of Argentina. Chinese owned Companies in Argentina only hire CCCPA members. CCCPA is voted into power with a massive majority.
China preforms a corporate style hostile takeover of Argentina and the whole western world quakes in fear that Communism used hyper-Capitalism to devour a nation while the global south rejoices in the hope that they too will be freed from neo-colonialism.
I would really rather that these were actual examples, and not conspiracy theories. We all have our own unsubstantiated ideas about what shadowy no-gooders are doing, but I’d rather hear about things that are actually happening.
“conservatives” are just a subtype of liberal. The “Liberal” in “Liberal Media” simply means that it is private property run for profit of individuals and not State owned media run in the interests of the nation.
No it doesn’t. Widespread ignorance does not change objective reality. This sort of thinking is Hyperliberalism. Just because most Americans are politically illiterate doesn’t mean the definition is changed. 40% Americans also believe the entire universe is only 6000 years old.
If you ask an american political scientist to define “liberal” they will tell you the “international” definition. If you allow technical and scientific terms to be subjected to “language just evolves” you end up with a Tower of Babble type situation where different groups of people are unable to communicate with one another despite using the same language and society collapses.
Saying something is obvious doesn’t make it true. The only noun you use in your first comment is “Democrats” so how is this not a discussion about politics? I am having a discussion about politics and I’m going to do my best to use political terminology in its established scientific meaning not a niche dialect that you believe is “common use.”
The world is much bigger than the USA. Americans only make up 15% of the English speaking world. What you call “common use” is just “ignorant and wrong” to the rest of us.
