I wrote a whole thing about how modern rightwing nationalism isnt nationalism at all but actually about ingratiating yourself with the American world order as the best in class vassal. And they just went and

The Economist this week. The formal level of US tariffs is low. But the psychological impact of Trump's tariff talk is having exactly its intended effect: ~30% of Canadian businesses are already shifting production/investments to the US or may do so soon. Beggar-thy-neighbor.

@RushDoshi intentional mistranslated official documents to set the US up for more confrontational policies with China.

Yes, Kit is right, that part is rather extraordinary x.com/KitKlarenberg/… They have a whole section in the report (see screenshot) where they detail how key Chinese expressions have been systematically mistranslated by US and policymakers in the US (including in the Foreign…

There’s no need to lie or capeshit about this. Median Chinese living standards are still below median Americans. This doesn’t discount the incredible success the CCP has had, nor does it make a case about the superior economic arrangement or governing system.


The Economist this week on how China started preparing early for Trump's regularly scheduled chimp outs over trade with Alcoholics Anonymous tier honesty and self-critique. As the US's original target, it had a seven year head start over everyone else.

As a child of the post-9/11 and Financial Crisis era, it's crazy to think that UK GDPpc > US GDPpc in 2007 (partially due to an overvalued GBP, but still). London was plum posting, highly sought after for new US finance grads. Britain was seen as cool, not dysfunctional.

Compelling analysis. But someone is forgetting about 1) the AGI Wunderwaffe 2) gay genius wypipo finance sex magick 3) superior Aryan combat ability, height, jaws, dick etc 4) Three Gorges Damn 5) Allied Scale 6) TFR all in all, the US is packing. It'll be a tough fight.

Scenario 1: USA trades with China freely. China dominates the trade-balance and pulls ahead in every area in the long-run. USA loses. Scenario 2: USA goes full cold war trade war. Both countries are hurting, but USA is hurting more, and American people can't take the pain…



So is the “right wing” of all US allied countries just brainless power worship and envy now? Hence why they worship the US, the most powerful country? Seems like it. A type of slave morality.

South Korean far-right rally in downtown Seoul right now, chanting "chinks out" while waving US flags, Charlie Kirk flags and balloons, "Stop the Steal", "Yoon again" etc. I've covered many protests, but the level pure hate here... is truly sickening.
