  • Besides north korea, go visit. Have you ever been to Mexico? Have you ever heard of the deportations of Mexican Americans during the great depression or Los Halcones? Have you ever heard of the Vietnam war, the bombings in Indonesia by the US, the bombings of Laos and Cambodia? You never hear of Afghanistan or Iraq? You never learned about native Americans, dozens if not hundreds of genocides? Never learned about US occupation of the Phillipiines? You never learned about the mass killings in South Korea by the US backed regime post-WWII pre Korean war? Never learned of the US backed military dictatorships of South Korea and Taiwan? Taiwan and the once longest period of martial law in world history US backed. How about the assassination attempt of the secular supporting prime minister of Iran to back the Shah? How about the US backed genocidal regime in Nicaragua? How about post Vietnam war support for the Khmer Rouge? How about the support of Palestinian genocide?

    You’re ignorant ass would probably spit on a Taiwanese or Hong Konger or Tibetan just as fast as a mainland Chinese because your whole basis of beliefs are rooted in ignorance.















  • Chinese internal consumption grew since the first Trump republican admin. This will drive their local industries even further and grow the significance of relationships with its neighbors. Then here in the US, we’ll spend less, have worse trade relations with neighbors and overseas countries, a good portion of us will have less interest in domestic made goods.

    The US stupidly skipped to the end of a trade war plan. Didn’t shore up domestic manufacturing beforehand. Didn’t gather agreement with alliance countries to wage war together with. Didn’t shore up support from the population to shoulder higher prices. No good will built. Just 3 months of immediate attacking everyone and be surprised that now domestically everyone’s panicking too because no one prepared for this


  • Path of least resistance is at the electronics store and general support from marketed software. So lack of Linux hardware in stores and lack of well marketed software

    20 years ago Apple at least had store presence and had their own software as major draws, Final Cut Pro, GarageBand people loved, and really as a brand MacBook’s are/were fashionable

    Linux is widespread in software development and data science. It’s mainstream draw is still developing. Could be games. It could maybe someday be seen as the choice for content creators if the selection of media creation/editing continues to improve and have their Blender/Krita rise. Talking like Kdenlive, Ardour, GIMP, etc

    I have friends scared to leave the country. Husbands/spouses from Canada or Mexico. Friends that did research in Cuba, Venezuela, some other country that Trump defaults to everyone is evil. After the detention of the canadians and germans, everyone’s scared of US travel. No one is scared to visit an east/southeast asian country. Everyone is a bit scared of going through US customs/border crossings
