@Mont_Jiang Kaiser Kuo had the bright idea of raising his kids in the US, severing China as an option for them, while he returns to Beijing. Well done.

Next step is to stop investing too much time debunking each evidence free assertion of these retards and just directly calling them retards.

@Bluebearmonkey In fact it's the other way round. It's the Chinese who don't understand their own country, because since childhood they're fed on myths, like "the Chinese dialects are written the same but pronounced differently", just to give one example.

Silicon valley leadership is full of marvel brained liberals, who top the list of most effectively evil political faction. These people are worse than evil, they're idiots who unironically believe genociding their opponents is the (painful, but) morally righteous thing to do
Palantir@PalantirTech

Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible. 3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public. 4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software. 5. The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed. 6. National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost. 7. If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad while remaining unflinching in our commitment to those we have asked to step into harm’s way. 8. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive. 9. We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness—a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche—may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret. 10. The psychologization of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self, who rely too heavily on their internal life finding expression in people they may never meet, will be left disappointed. 11. Our society has grown too eager to hasten, and is often gleeful at, the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice. 12. The atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age, is ending, and a new era of deterrence built on A.I. is set to begin. 13. No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect. But it is easy to forget how much more opportunity exists in this country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet. 14. American power has made possible an extraordinarily long peace. Too many have forgotten or perhaps take for granted that nearly a century of some version of peace has prevailed in the world without a great power military conflict. At least three generations — billions of people and their children and now grandchildren — have never known a world war. 15. The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese pacifism will, if maintained, also threaten to shift the balance of power in Asia. 16. We should applaud those who attempt to build where the market has failed to act. The culture almost snickers at Musk’s interest in grand narrative, as if billionaires ought to simply stay in their lane of enriching themselves . . . . Any curiosity or genuine interest in the value of what he has created is essentially dismissed, or perhaps lurks from beneath a thinly veiled scorn. 17. Silicon Valley must play a role in addressing violent crime. Many politicians across the United States have essentially shrugged when it comes to violent crime, abandoning any serious efforts to address the problem or take on any risk with their constituencies or donors in coming up with solutions and experiments in what should be a desperate bid to save lives. 18. The ruthless exposure of the private lives of public figures drives far too much talent away from government service. The public arena—and the shallow and petty assaults against those who dare to do something other than enrich themselves—has become so unforgiving that the republic is left with a significant roster of ineffectual, empty vessels whose ambition one would forgive if there were any genuine belief structure lurking within. 19. The caution in public life that we unwittingly encourage is corrosive. Those who say nothing wrong often say nothing much at all. 20. The pervasive intolerance of religious belief in certain circles must be resisted. The elite’s intolerance of religious belief is perhaps one of the most telling signs that its political project constitutes a less open intellectual movement than many within it would claim. 21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful. 22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?

Many people piling onto her, I think she's correct. The US reliably drags countries into war. It reliably is the biggest abuser of human rights on a grand scale. Many Western people just don't see it.
Bonnie Glaser / 葛來儀@BonnieGlaser

@AngelicaOung @jamespomfret You seem to want Taiwan to end up like Hong Kong. BTW, the US is more reliable than you think. It's all happening under the radar. You just don't see it.

As this guy has correctly figured out, Europe isn't incompetent and corrupt due to naivety or bad luck. It's systemic, structural. The purpose of a system is what it does.
Mehdi (e/λ)@BetterCallMedhi

fusionner des géants européens pour battre les chinois c’est exactement le type de réponse qui prouve que l’UE n’a toujours rien compris car le problème de l’europe reste avant tout culturel et tant que personne ne l’admettra rien ne changera par ex les dirigeants français européens sont formés à l’ENA HEC, sciences po… ce sont des machines à bachoter, des spécialistes de la dissertation et de l’optimisation de parcours de carrière, ils savent parfaitement naviguer les systèmes existants mais ils sont structurellement incapables d’en imaginer de nouveaux la chine est dirigée par des ingénieurs et des scientifiques qui pensent en systèmes à 30 ans, l’Europe est dirigée par des juristes et des financiers qui pensent en mandats de 5 ans et en cycles électoraux et regardez qui dirige les grandes entreprises françaises, des profils X-HEC, mines…techniquement brillants sur le papier capables de résoudre n’importe quelle équation mais incapables de voir au delà du prochain trimestre fiscal, ces gens optimisent des P&L avec une précision chirurgicale mais demandez-m leur où sera leur industrie dans 15 ans et vous obtenez un silence gêné suivi d’un slide mckinsey, le PDG moyen du CAC40 sait lire un bilan consolidé mieux que quiconque mais il ne sait pas vous expliquer pourquoi la Chine domine les batteries, les panneaux solaires, les drones et les robots humanoïdes, il n’a aucune vision géostratégique, aucune compréhension des chaînes de valeur technologiques mondiales & surtout aucune intuition sur les rapports de force industriels qui se dessinent et la condescendance c’est peut-être le pire de tout, pendant 15 ans l’europe a regardé la chine de haut en disant «ils copient ils ne sont pas innovants ils font du low cost » et pendant ces 15 ans la chine a construit BYD, CATL, DJI…le sans compter le réseau quantique le + avancé au monde, un écosystème de milliers de startups deeptech et une chaîne de valeur intégrée de la mine au robot quand vous passez 15 ans à mépriser votre concurrent au lieu de l’étudier vous méritez d’être dépassé et pendant que l’UE parle de pseudos champions européens, elle laisse les américains racheter ses actifs stratégiques un par un sous ses yeux ce sont des sujets dont j’ai déjà très largement parlé ici via les différents threads mais on a par ex des fabricants français de pompes à chaleur rachetés par des groupes américains, alstom qui a vendu sa branche énergie à GE sous pression politique, technip fusionné avec FMC sous contrôle américain, des pépites européennes en IA en cyber & en biotech qui se font racheter par des fonds US avant même d’atteindre leur pleine maturité parce que le marché européen est incapable de les financer à l’échelle et les dirigeants européens laissent faire avec le sourire parce qu’ils sont idéologiquement et structurellement vassalisés à washington, les mêmes qui parlent d’autonomie stratégique achètent leurs avions de combat aux US, hébergent leurs données souveraines sur AWS et azure et laissent la DGSI dépendre de Palantir depuis 2016 pour ses outils d’analyse je l’ai déjà dit mais pour moi à ce stade c’est pas de la naïveté c’est juste de la soumission organisée MÉTHODIQUEMENT fusionner AlSTOM avec SIEMENS ou THALES avec je ne sais qui ça ne résoudra strictement rien parce que vous allez créer des mastodontes bureaucratiques lents incapables d’innover et protégés de la concurrence par les régulateurs c’est exactement l’inverse de ce qui produit de l’innovation, la Chine n’a pas gagné en fusionnant ses entreprises elle a gagné en créant un environnement où des centaines de startups se battent entre elles dans une compétition féroce avec un accès direct aux composants, aux talents et au capital le modèle chinois c’est littéralement la sélection naturelle technologique à grande échelle, le modèle européen c’est le protectionnisme bureaucratique déguisé en stratégie industrielle​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ bref que du BS européen qui ne mènera à rien ENCORE UNE FOIS

Drew Pavlou 🇦🇺🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼
The reason I am so pro-US is very simple. The alternative to America is Chinese hegemony over Australia and they would just kill me. The CCP already marked me for death due to my protests when I was younger. The Australian Federal Police were forced to make police raids against CCP agents working in Australia to find my address and violently harm me - they confirmed this to the Australian Senate during Estimates. The alternative to the US would kill me in my own home. That’s why I’m pro-America. There’s no conspiracy, there’s no hidden agenda. It’s just friend-enemy distinction. The Chinese are very open about their use of the friend-enemy distinction. The Chinese Ambassador to Sweden said “we have fine wine for our friends and shotguns for our enemies.” So I am just choosing basic self-preservation. They are my enemies while the Americans are my friends.
Joel Jenkins@boganintel

After three years of psyops on Australians by one foreign power, we are about to get the force of 1000 Drew Pavlou’s imposed on us by another.

@NewLeftEViews your understanding of the chinese government, or really, anything, is functionally the same as a 14 yo marvel nerd's Which, to be fair, probably places you in the top percentile as far as liberal retards go

Speaking as a great admirer of the Chinese state-led developmental system but as an owl on trade: I have to say the funniest thing about the sino-futurist campism on the left is that the people who speak uncritically of systemic superiority and emulation often simply don’t know about basic features about China’s economy which should be anathema to them: the incredibly regressive income tax system, the prohibition of independent unions, the fact that 30% of the labour force is in the gig economy, the still deeply entrenched opposition to welfare transfers, the profound social conservatism etc.
