      Why is everything an investment? So brain poisoned that they can’t even imagine using global power for actual good unless you get a solid ROI.

        Well, it is an investment, just in a different way. China knows that the way towards a sustainable socialist future is to develop all global economies, without the mechanisms of imperialism artificially perpetuating poverty and holding back the imperial periphery. If African nations develop into stability and independence it’s good for everyone, if they remain trapped with American and European imperialist institutions it’s only good for the imperialists.

    So many people in the comments unknowingly discovering fascism.

    “These foreigners are behind the ideological and moral rot of my great nation, we need to stomp out the influence of these enemies of the civilized world!”

      Yeah and what is this cloying sentimentality they try to do with this?

      (sobbing)“America is plagued with inequality, with hatred against trans people. The police are racist and our institutions are failing to a cheetoh. Our once great land has become divided. How could China do this to us?”

    ill speak for Americans, but people all over the world beware. beware of foreign influences. dont be xenophobic and afraid of culture. but people need to realize that russia and china are not friendly. China is mainly the enemy of the world, they have their hand dipped in everyones pocket and control most of russia and america imo.

    but our foreign enemies are trying to divide us Americans. with political parties, race wars, social issues, just like everything this post has stated.

    we need to come together as Americans, no matter our colors, background, views. we need to realize that it truly is us against the world and to turn on eachother is a grave mistake.

    Some real brain geniuses over there projection

      Dang, I can’t believe China founded the deeply racist, xenophobic, queerphobic, etc. nation that is the USA in 1776.

      lmao liberals literally have become 2000s era neo-cons. “it truly is us against the world” hey genius if you’re the enemy of the entire world that’s not an endorsement. Maybe the foreigners are correct to sow internal division if that’s how you see reality

    a communist family member start randomly spouting about how Ukrainians do have Nazis, that even with Zelenskyy being Jewish he was a Nazi, that Ukrainians WANT to be a part of Russia…

    Ukraine does have nazis though? Look at the pictures they put out and look up any of those funny runes. Association of German National Jews Why do they act like minorities can’t be fascists? There’s plenty of notable ones in the republican party. Its not some obscure thing.

    Can somebody who is not banned on r/latestagecapitalism post this over there, because those idiots seem bound and determined to get someone who is actively out to harm the country for personal gain elected

    r/LateStageCapitalism is a Russian or CCP ran sub where the whole point is to get people so depressed they disengage from American politics.

    Jesus that sub is worse than some right wing ones. I consider myself around center left but that sub is insane, it seriously is just making people sad because it controls people.

    It sucks because i agree that late stage capitalism is bad, but i didn’t know that late stage capitalism was an actual anti capitalist communist theory that eventually capitalism will always lead to the form that we see it, regardless of social safety nets. I dont hate capitalism i just have a lot of criticisms of how some parts of capitalism affect our society, but thats not allowed in that sub

    The idea is that capitalism inherently results in monopolies, duopolies, or oligopolies, and eventually the system continues to try to increase profit until the workers who make the products cannot buy the products, and the system consumes itself.

    Maybe absent a regulatory system

    There is no such thing as “late stage capitalism”. It is a failed Marxist prophecy.

    Why would anyone with respect for themselves go onto an populist leftist sub like that?

    I miss the pre internet left wing populism in America. It was about human rights, the environment, ending poverty and legalization of weed.

    There is way too much here to comment on. This particular thread goes on too. All deeply unserious people (well that one guy explaining late stage capitalism might be okay).

    I love the fact that Putin appointed Sergey Kiriyenko, Yeltsin’s Prime Minister in the 1990s who had good relations with the Clintons, to the First Deputy Chief of Staff of the Russian President in October 2016, literally one month before the US election because nobody thought Trump would win and he wanted to improve ties with the new Hillary Clinton’s administration.

    Yet somehow the libs still think it was Putin that caused Hillary to lose lol.

      Political system is explicitly undemocratic, every political institution is biased in favor of the right, both major political parties refuse to support popular legislation that would improve people’s lives

      “Why don’t Americans trust their institutions?”

      I can’t imagine typing that out and NOT thinking “Wait that doesn’t make sense.” It’s got the “Satan wants you to sin so you can go to hell but also he tortues you for sinning because it’s bad” energy.

    I do find it a bit curious that the Leftist is this lean, blonde, chiseled chad and the Chud is this fat, creepy Groyper. Also, both white dudes.

    Obviously, “they’ve fallen for the classic Russian propaganda while my mind is immune to such deprivations!” bit is liberal af. But it does feel a bit like they’re telling on themselves when they make this shit.

    Saw this on another sub the other day. Good stuff OP.

    For those out of the loop:

    Basically Russia (and various international actors) are using social media to push a narrative that “your country is bad” and “you should mistrust your institutions”.

    Damn, sounds like Russia is correct on this one

      It also doesn’t even seem to be a real quote? I did a quick search and nothing turned up, so it just looks like a bastardization of “All I want to say is that they don’t really care about us” which, uh, is from a song about systemic racism and injustice in amerikkka.

      Say what you will about Michael Jackson and it’s not like the song is some radical manifesto or whatever, but turning lyrics critical of the US government into blaming the evil foreign adversary for anyone being critical of the US government is just the perfect cherry on top. joker-amerikkklap
