Ro Khanna, Hakeem Jeffries and of course Nancy Pelosi.

Perhaps, we often assume these transformations to be inevitable in hindsight, we as humans are biased to see things that way.

It isn’t taught because they feel it was worth it and would still have an empire today if they could.

The West goes on and on about its moral superiority when the truth is its entire social structure is predicated on white supremacy, labour exploitation and the destruction of nature. Unfortunately the entire world will have to suffer for that, even if the benefits have only been experienced globally over the past few decades.

A lot of young white men in Western countries are turning to fascism because they feel that they’ve lost privilege relative to their fathers.

What does the future hold? Only time will tell. One thing we do know is that every superpower falls eventually.

For better or for worse will be the big question, especially since it’s a major driver of climate change which may result in our extinction. In any event the world has been set on this path by the West so we will have to see how it plays out.

The original article says women. Unless they are using women with small hands as code for children.

I would hope a social studies teacher would understand the pitfalls of Western orientalism and Western cultures obsession with describing other groups as ‘its’ rather than as whole persons.

But if we’re going to objectify people, why don’t we get real technical about it. Why not move manufacturing to other east Asian countries? Even outside of East Asia, you can find many countries with less labor protections and large populations where you can select for millions of people with small hands. Why China? Anyone who is being intellectually honest knows that hand size was not the central reason.

If this is widely accepted then Western culture has a long way to go when it comes to facing its history of racial objectification. Because this sounds less like a valid rationale and more like modern phrenology presenting itself as business and engineering acumen.

Young Chinese women have small fingers, and that has made them a valuable contributor to iPhone production because they are more nimble at installing screws and other miniature parts in the small device, supply chain experts said. In a recent analysis the company did to explore the feasibility of moving production to the United States, the company determined that it couldn’t find people with those skills in the United States, said two people familiar with the analysis who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

They’re supposedly paraphrasing “supply chain experts” but they could definitely paraphrase better.

Western culture is built on a foundation of race based hierarchical brain rot and isn’t it remarkable how it always finds a way to remind us of that?

Fascists are a threat to all life, including those that they define as their ingroup. They just feed them into the military machine in perpetuity. Totally on board with an antifascist Thanos.

Orrr we could sterilize fascists while the rest of us work towards egalitarianism and protecting the sanctity of life unlike these degenerates.

No, really, people like this should get a maximum of three comments on racial purity per lifetime before they get a guillotine to the nutsack.

When individualism becomes brain rot.

Some of these folk assimilated too hard into American culture 🤣.

Unclear if he actually wants to do that. He may just want to make money off of his crypto meme coin and via market manipulation.

Its up to his supporters to see through the facade but given the average education level in the US (>50% read at a grade 6 level, not even high school) and general addiction to social media, it’s unlikely.

AOC and Sanders are legit. I agree with you on establishment democrats though.

America has been on that path for sometime. It’s voting public has been unstable (in terms of lacking the efficacy to choose a stable and reliable government) for nearly a decade now.

Another example would be Trump saying that US farmers now have unprecedented access to the UK market for sales but the US uses growth hormone which is banned in the UK and Europe. It’s very unlikely they’re going to designate a non growth hormone section of their farm just to ship beef overseas.

Which would only be financially sound if for some reason there is significant demand for American beef in the UK which… Why would there be?

His memecoin alone will make him billions off of the presidency.

Regardless of whether anyone thinks he’s intelligent or competent, I think most would agree that he is a conman. I’ve honestly never seen 70+ million people fall for a con so easily. It speaks volumes to America’s education and media landscape.

Services for sure. The US has a massive surplus with the rest of the world on services which intentionally doesn’t get brought up because it doesn’t fit the narrative.

Hopefully the world will move away from that though.

I’m going to guess drugs or alcohol.

He wants bilateral open markets ie some form of neoliberal apocalypse. For some reason he thinks this benefits the US, as if the world is tripping over itself to buy over priced mid quality American products.

The tariffs are simply a means to that end. From their perspective it’s either no or equal tariffs both ways.

There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:28

Christians need to step up their game and actually follow the teachings of Christ.

They should cut to the chase and call Jesus a Marxist.

Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. Luke 12:33

Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” Mark 10:21

“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?  When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you?  When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ Matthew 25:34-40
