Incredible as it must seem to people who were alive to see it, it appears the CPC’s position has been historically vindicated. The USSR stood rigid and was snapped apart – The PRC bent, and so remains, changed but intact.

I’m as surprised as anyone that there hasn’t been any sign of a swift backlash to these efforts behind closed doors, but I fear this gives our enemies too much credit. As others have commented, the Republican party is now controlled by people who have been steeped in the paranoid conspiratorial ideology fostered by past generations of conservative leadership in the hopes of maintaining a pliant base. They actually believe the absurd, ahistorical, contradictory things they say. I think it’s more likely the doddering remnants of the old guard are too complacent, too accustomed to having their way with things, to react quickly enough to maintain this propaganda apparatus.

Perhaps it’s premature to say, but what we know so far paints a stark picture of the paralytic culture within US government institutions. Nobody will twitch a muscle without word from on high, and all it takes is a few white kids who feel entitled to act with impunity to punch right through. Meanwhile, the vast liberal public simply cannot accept what their lying eyes show them, because it would require that they accept that all the excuses for decades of inaction, of political impotence, was just kayfabe.

Ok gang what’s the going odds that the US actually attempts to annex Canada?

I have only ever played the game sober. Some people say it doesn’t reward you for this, but as a person who has defeated addiction, it is the absolute most accurate way to portray it. Your reward for sobriety is sobriety.

It is a life changing experience, you will not regret it.

very excited to have strangers start picking fights with me for wearing a trans pride button again like it’s my first year out in my hometown. thank you, democratic party, very cool.

would you say that he’s tilting at them?

The consent machine is pulling triple shifts to convince people this is dangerous, and some people even on this site have so thoroughly doomer-pilled themselves that they can’t see the positives. I’ve been on there a lot this week and there is a real cultural exchange taking place, a lot of people asking questions about what it’s really like to live in each country. Just in my little slice I’ve seen dozens of comments from USians expressing that they are surprised to learn the reality of life in China and that they feel they have been deliberately mislead.

I keep a homeserver for long term bulk data storage, emphasizing things that benefit my extended circle of friends and family and that would be impossible to acquire physically. Film editions out of circulation or only at a premium, quality cookbooks, reputable guides to household repair and craft, niche trade and hobbyist materials, rips of CDs from indie scene shows, political theory texts that would be difficult or someday potentially dangerous to get through the public library (hello, marxist internet archive, and thank you). A number of older games and software titles, too. It is increasingly difficult and costly to get permanent access to essential practical and cultural works, and while keeping up a dependable archive is sometimes a chore, I anticipate the work will prove worthwhile in the not so distant future.

YYYY/MM/DD is best because then you can follow it with HH:MM:SS and everything is in order.
