a gov is the mechanism in which a ruling class expresses and realizes it’s interests.
The problem is I am trying throw ropes to this guy tumbling down the abyss, and I have to keep throwing longer ropes. Its very hard to reach out to obtuse people.
It is tough to crack open rifts into the skulls of these people, and Trump angle is easiest way to reach to someone who is into privacy paranoia stuff. MAGA is not a comrade and never will be, but it is a tool to temporarily reach to ordinary people that are in the iron grip of neoliberalism, libertarianism and spectra around it. I personally see Deep State as a dictatorship with two public faces, which is how I use it to make points clear to people. It may have the MAGA connotation but it is not as strong for everyone, though I would like to know what the general perception towards it even is.
RESTRICT Act is horrific. It also says if anyone is found using banned platforms via VPN, there is a $250,000 fine. China is probably laughing right now for all the nonsense that is regurgitated about them in overseas media.
The fundamental contradictions remain almost untouched in superimperialist capitalism. When your core is rotten, you can either work against core (impossible) or become one with the core. It would only have delayed the inevitable, with an even worse problem of literally dried pulp equivalent Middle East, Russia and other countries.
This is why we need an open architecture tech stack that has more hardcore developers outside of Anglosphere. But most of them apparently do not do programming passionately to make anything outside of bloated JavaScript and JS framework loaded bad SEO websites. To solve such problems, you need people as old school, creative and passionate as the most hardcore programmers who prefer working with limited hardware, like Raspberry Pis and Rockchip ARM level of RISC-V CPUs.
In India, people are conditioned to write bad subpar code and there is no tech culture really, and there is a lot of submissive behaviour towards USA. How true is this for China, Russia, South America and Africa? Is our only challenge the lack of privileged material conditions to prosper creativity? Or are there others like draining away brains to Anglosphere tech giants for money? Or are there problems also having a root in bad programming, privacy and security practices?
Western media-military succeeded in creating their Reich I think. Their goal has always been to manufacture consent, and the conditions were prepared for it to happen, by brainwashing all their citizens in what is the biggest panopticon in human history.
Last year we had that node-ipc NPM incident, now we have this. In between, there have been plenty smaller attempts to cut off Russia and Russians off of global (aka western) internet diaspora from all of Big Tech, and Reddit banning any .ru link posts. There has already been a ban on access to Google Play Store and iPhone support for Russia has been shut down as well, from what I know.
He was doxxed, received death threats and so he privatised his YouTube and Twitter entirely, and deleted Reddit, with no signs of a comeback. It is hinted that someone in his attorney profession helped the doxxing, as much as I know. The last video that happened before his doxxing was the podcast with Second Thought. Second Thought since then went heavy on socialism and does The Deprogram podcast with Hakim and Yugopnik.
I love this, it is why they love talking about transparency and GFW censorship.
The Chinese penetrated clandestine communications and used that knowledge to arrest and execute at least 20 CIA informants, according to multiple current and former government officials.
“It was a horrible, devastating loss to the intelligence community,” a former intelligence official said. “Lives were lost.”
Until even a decade ago, China’s collective leadership, with power more diffused among different factions and individuals, offered up an array of possible intelligence targets and a more fluid political environment.
“There was a wider circle of people that intelligence agencies might target. It’s a much more centralized, tight system now,” said a former senior U.S. intelligence official familiar with the matter.
I say small because of their own 2025 analysis. Their sphere of influence has taken a massive hit from China’s BRI, the amount of trust downfall from running away from Afghanistan, the treatment of non-Anglo refugees from Ukraine at Poland borders and the cruel Russophobia. Overwhelming support of Nazis (and Nazism in UN voting) against Russia and the blatant news propaganda has also resulted in doubts over western media as a whole amongst many people.
There is also that people got tired of COVID news fearmongering and no socialising, where western companies were already shilling boosters to make up for lost money from pandemic, regardless of it weakening immunity of people to critical levels. The combination of people’s declining mental health (monthly new variant!!! death chaos et al) and then declining physical health via 3rd dose (we have never had 2 vaccine doses within a year in history outside of Anthrax I think) has caused many people to turn off the TV and internet news.
It is surprising to me that Sinophobia was acceptable, and it took a chain reaction of all of the above to trigger whatever people it did.
Yeah, I figure these “teeth” are possible places left, since Taiwan narrative is either not working or they are trying for maximum chaos from within Russian sphere of influence. There are places like Phillipines, Malaysia and Thailand too I think that could be future colour revolution cards in Anglo empire’s deck.
Let us not get too carried away. I have staunchly supported Huawei since 2016, when I bought Honor 6X as a risk. HarmonyOS is the most confusing thing I have seen, because it is 1) an Android/AOSP fork, just like LineageOS and such custom ROMs, and 2) it is an ecosystem of devices, services and a microkernel in the way Apple has.
China’s self sufficiency comes from the ecosystem of WeChat, Alibaba, Tencent, Baidu, Bilibili, Weibo, Ixigua et al. Also simply having relatively countless IT manpower compared to other countries (except India, because similar numbers) is what allows sustainance of this ecosystem.
Huawei is quite dead (which is why global smartphone industry outside China lacks innovation), and the chip industry needs to become a thing to allow true self sufficiency. Hardware and software are like yin and yang.
It is the kind of mistake the corporate fascist Deep State facilitates culturally via brainwashed liberal and conservative puppets on the streets and on internet, to modify and twist reality, and to create alternative versions of it, so that 10-15 years down the line they can quote people saying it was a genocidal war invasion same-as-Iraq hurrdurr nonsense. I see the socdems/demsocs making this mistake, because they want more viewership and social reachout, trying to tussle with people who refuse to listen to non-controlled factual journalists, revolutionaries and vigilantes.
It is irritating me, frankly speaking. I sincerely want this country to tank beyond repair because they are literally an entire country of illiterate people spreading their illiteracy and evil around the world for decades, with nothing stopping them. I want the world to laugh at them, see them become a joke so bad that people stop using American Big Tech the same way USA has taught the world to hate Chinese and Russian platforms. Maybe it seems a little hateful but I see no wrong in atleast this much, considering the kind of shit I have to respond to on Reddit these days. I want them to feel everything they have made the world feel. I want to see every USA worshipping liberal cry on their knees and feel how correct people like us have been, and how deaf they are.
