my country is part of BRICS and we are treading the fine line between neoliberalism and fascism. we were just forced by the US to impose 100% tax on chinese goods. just like that.

BRICS is good and I hope it goes well, but I don’t put that much faith in it atm.

lets see if federation can keep the hawks away. they will certainly be trying (again) once we hit critical mass.

holy shit the situation is dire, i just looked at the price of my card and it costs just as much as it did a few years ago when i bought it used. i guess GPUs are not for us anymore, its for AI slop and surveillance now.

gotta keep it fresh and new but somehow still beat the same old divide to conquer drum.

why isnt it in the play store or fdroid?

their main objective seem to be hurt china. keeping it in india, seeing as they are allies with the us somewhat and a bit reluctant with china, seems like something theyd wanna do for now.

with climate change on top.

muah👌🍒

get an used one, why make it hard. nobody needs the latest and greatest at launch and they clearly cant/dont want to keep up.

i play me bideogames and be happy that it works well until it doesnt.

what year is it

Body Memory

I mean, cellular memory and muscle memory exist.

I did not know that, but wouldnt be surprised if they are a degree subjugated by the US in some way.

I don’t think they plan on following the rules for this one though. Dissolving NATO aligns with Trumps interests so I can see that happening.

Although they would probably find a diplomatic way of taking control of their minerals, similar to what they just did in Panama.

why would they do what the US wanted to china in the first place? its not like they are under the same pressure as the third world.

“the word will go out to the nations of the world that it may be dangerous to be America’s enemy, but to be America’s friend is fatal.” -henry kissinger (1960s, i think?)

theyve always done this with everyone else, shame on you for trusting the US at all, after seeing what they do to the rest of the world.

of fucking course they would have done the most lucrative move for them.

isnt the US also a part of NATO? and a big contributor at that?

The US isn’t a dictatorship

i mean, eeeeeeeeeeh… its technically an oligarchy. which i wouldnt call a democracy at all.

i don’t think his personality traits are that relevant beyond how he rallies his supporters.

fascism tends to put narcissists and other specific types of people in power, but they are put there by capitalism (or: the powers that be) when they need such a leader. fascism is not an organic and normal thing to happen to people, and its definetly not exclusively trumps merit here.

looking back, historically, that happens whenever the US invades you to pacify bring democracy or when crisis that shakes the very core of the system looms.
