Fisting for Freedom

I assumed it was downvoted by people who see China as being largely a state capitalist economy with a nominally socialist/communist government, whom I would guess are primarily lefties. Contrary to seeing it as western propaganda, they’d see it as Chinese propaganda as it pretends that the country is something it really isn’t.

This is only a possible view, of course.

The US is part of the world.

The reactor is actually full of Nazis, so Russia has no choice but to blow it up.

The internet peaked with gopher, tbh. Mosaic was the beginning of the end.

This new multipolar world they’re building looks amazing, ngl.

Works like a charm

We don’t know that Putin is willing to order a nuclear strike if he gets desperate. They want everyone to think that because they hope it makes people afraid of interfering in their shitty behavior.

Apparently, it’s effective on at least some people.

Multiple independent warheads that can hit different targets. Also, they can actually carry up 12 warheads each , but the US limits the number deployed to meet treaty obligations. And each boat can has 20 missile tubes.

It’s a lot of Armageddon in a small space.

Modi, imo, has no problem with angry religiously motivated mobs, so long as it’s the Hindutva people committing the violence. He’s just making the noises the expected noises for the sake of propriety - don’t expect anything to change markedly.

I love your desperation.

You know that we can grow the industry in the US pretty trivially, right? And, again, other countries can and do produce it? You’re presenting this as some massive win, when it’s really just someone observing that we should fix that before it becomes a serious problem.

Alas, this isn’t a big deal and you’re going to have to look elsewhere for the defeat of the west. Sorry!

We actually produce gallium in the US already, the technology for refining it is well established, and you don’t actually mine it directly because it doesn’t really occur by itself - it’s commonly derived in bauxite, which is mined for it’s aluminum content, which I why I mentioned waste products form aluminum refinement, because that’s the most common source for industrial production. Also, other countries can do this, too

But, sure.

Plays stupid games, win stupid prizes as the saying goes.

Oh no, what will the US do? I mean, apart from producing it domestically or sourcing it from other counties because it’s not a particularly rare element and the refinement process uses waste from things like aluminum smelting.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi also said the incident had “shamed India” and that “no guilty will be spared”.

And you can believe him because of the great job he did with the Gujarat riots in 2002.

No doubt the Poles are terrified and not actively wishing a motherfucker would.

Maybe the hips do lie, but only on their taxes

Getting on the climate change denial train is always a bad idea; but for a whole state that’s narrowly above sea level, routinely hit with hurricanes, and relies on tourism dollars? Stupid af.

Eventually you’ll realize those aren’t mutually exclusive.

Yeah, it’s like getting upset when you build a shack on someone else’s land and they tear it down.
