    I disagree. Completely.

    Large scale mining on another celestial body is similar to AI. It’s not actually gonna happen in our lifetime we’re not as close as we wanna believe.

    We are those people in the 1800s who think everyone would have jet cars and shit by the year 2000. Nobody is that close. Likely they’ll blow each other up and start fighting in space before anyone gets to mine.

    it’s not stable though I dunno how people can’t see this lol.

    The US and China are in the same balance beam and at times or through different perspectives it might look like one is rising above the other but you ever seen what happens when one partner on seesaw jumps off? the other guy doesn’t go up that’s for sure

    You keep saying liberals but I don’t think you know what that word means. Are you speaking of the neoliberal western government or the liberals of America or liberals in Europe? Because they’re immensely different groups. I can only speak of “liberals” in America and I promise you, you’re entirely wrong. Liberals for years shook their head at all the things China was doing to take US business, never once was the liberal apparatus or voting bloc in america really ever antagonistic to China. Neoliberals like Biden were, kinda. But in the US conservatives have always beefed with China because they use the “they’re taking our jobs” stick every four years and I mean do you think Trump is a liberal? Cause he’s been the most aggressive to China than any US president in recent times

    So I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about there. It comes off clueless and ill informed kind of like the rest of what you say.

    The pandemic revealed that China is actually still a socialist project and that politics are in command when they shut down the economy instead of marching workers to the deaths,

    Literally not what happened. They lied, arrested scientists trying to talk about COVID and denied it came from China ever while also being difficult to work with in informing the rest of the world what was going down and that by definition is absolutely tyrannical which is the opposite of socialist. China also marches workers to death pandemic or not, go look at the work culture in China it is abysmal.

    And over that same period I’ve seen the US get worse

    US never changed their dirty laundry is just more visible. Maybe it seems like it got worse but queers hardly ever had rights, abortion was always a fight, worker rights are always under assault and America is funding terrorists all over, all of this since like the 50s. Where ya been?

    Sounds to me like you’re 12 maybe and you just dunno what the hell you’re talking about, like at all. You need to get off tiktok or whatever the source for your perspective is because it’s dog shit poopie diaper.

    And I’m sure Hong Kong and Taiwan pulling away from China is a sign the country is doing well, sure. Let’s go with that.

    The truth is if you look at history empires fall together. This era of shit post WWII is just getting ready to shift. Countries like Honduras, Mexico, Indonesia, countries in Africa, the places US and China shit on, will see an increase in everything as these empires continue to bleed. That’s how it goes. Rome dies gives us the Islamic golden age, Imperial British rule falls and the US grows up, US and China will continue to bleed out and fuel the countries that can fill the void.

    China isn’t going to collapse, it’s just going to continue peacefully developing and surpassing the US in more-and-more ways.

    That’s funny good joke their. I’m sure the protestors in Hong Kong and Filipinos and Taiwanese folk think China is super cool. I’m sure the secret police stations they have to watch citizens overseas and their oppression of Muslims in the western parts of China aren’t indictive of a country losing control and in response tightening its grip just like the US is doing and just like every other empire that bled out their power did too.

    Nobody wins an argument online and with that knowledge I’ve obviously won here thanks 🫰


  • Lol no it isn’t. Do you only remember the last six months? China has been unreliable for years. The quality of their products are always questionable, lead in cinnamon, plastic fake rice, sketchy backdoor access into anything that comes out of that country. Sure.

    On top of that, China is speed running the US downfall. It took decades for factory jobs to leave US, it’s taking a single decade for them to come and go out of China.











  • Nope. He’s just a man they considered their Messiah. The name Jesus isn’t recorded by any other source which is why he’s a questionable character. Somebody died, not sure if it was Jesus because as you bring up this happened and likely the story built up further. I mean allegedly Jesus was born in both Bethlehem but also he’s Jesus of Nazareth somehow? His story doesn’t track

    I’d bet the “real figure”, if I had to speculate, was more likely rejecting the theism of Judaism over trying to push another religion.

    He was absolutely. There are these groups called Mystery Cults they’re something between fraternal orders and religions kinda, all about secret rituals. It is likely things like the sacrament was made in response to these cults, possibly mocking them in some areas.

    For insuance Jews were considered to practice evil magic, the Eucharist was probably Jesus literally mocking people thinking Jews eat flesh and drink blood it’s probable that he wasn’t speaking genuinely when he said eat my flesh drink my blood, he was probably joking.

    Another reason to think he joked is that is the story we get that got Jesus in trouble, Palm Sunday, he walks into the city upon a donkey claiming he’s king of the Jews and son of God which was absolutely mocking the Roman Emperor at the time

    Jesus was basically just an anti establishment punk who got killed by the state for saying they suck and it was so traumatic people still talk about it 2000 years later but likely many of the stories were condensed to express the Jewish experience in Rome at the time. I don’t believe he embraced as much spirituality as people believe he did.


  • they don’t really talk of Jesus specifically though that’s the kicker.

    If Jesus did miracles and had such an impact on the empire his name would be known his story would be better known.

    The claim that Roman historians wrote about him is semi true they claim there are Christians and they have a Messiah but they never talk about what he did or anything. They mostly speak of the persecution of these people. So it makes a lot of things we think about Jesus unverified.

    The only thing we know is Pontius Pilate under the rule of Tiberius allegedly killed their Messiah. That’s it.

    The name Jesus, who he was or what he did is unverified and likely largely stolen. I’m pretty sure Gilgamesh was tied to being a carpenter or a son of a carpenter for instance
