How does the World view America these days?

you're completely mistaken if you think i didn't get that. i know that you're a privileged person, that you're aware of it, and that you're happy with how amerikkka treats you personally. that doesn't change a thing to the fact that if you're unhappy with how the us treats the rest of the world, no one forces you to be in this hypocritical situation where you hate daddy because he's a terrible human being but you're very happy with how he treats you on a personal level.

all i'm saying is you can live a life free of this type of hypocrisy by just moving to a different country. it's not gonna help anyone except you, which is exactly my point. think of what you can do for yourself first, and once your situation is more in tune with your values and principles, see what you can do for others. not the other way around, it just doesn't work that way. 

imo.

your attempted pseudo-lectures on my personal life choices are inappropriate.  im also not sure why you are assuming i'm not doing this as you speak.  my goal is to retire from wage labor and achieve an agricultural off the grid low environmental impact and low financial requirement existence whereby i can begin performing actual labor to assist in the cause of the proletariat through the advancement of free and open source agriculture software and hardware technologies.  my plans may not be perfect, but socialism is not about personal lifestylism it's about a mass movement of people.  i am a marxist not an anarchist

im not sure why exactly you would think asd prevents someone from moving. 

i didn't say i thought this was the case, i mentioned it because i thought that the only valid excuse you could possibly have for not moving is being unable to do so because of asd, when i really don't see what that has anything to do with being unable to do that. i think you really have a hard time understanding the nuances in what i say.

On an unrelated note, Trump (sorry to bring him up... we're all trying to move on... I hope) is the closest thing our country has ever had to an anarchist president and the new ilk of the post-Trump Republican party is basically trying to engineer a veiled vision of anarchy where those with power and influence grab what they can from the devastation. Prove me wrong.

capitalism has always involved anarchy, it's called the "anarchy of the market".  they are definitely not anarchists even if they try to instill anarchy of some sort to create market crises from which they can make profits.  they are still capitalists through and through, not close to anarchists.  anarchism is not anarchy

Of its many facets, Anarchism is basically about removing hierarchy. Trump definitely 100% craved nothing but rigid hierarchy. Being opportunistic about the chaos they cause is not representative of anarchist theory. It's perfectly capitalist.

Hey just gonna drop in here because it’s getting tense and I know we all know capitalist whizz-boy Bill Gates is getting a divorce.
 

I wanted to let everyone know I am going to continue to get Melinda Gates to pay me as a boy-toy. I’m down for some real weird shit so long as I get loaded up. If successful, I will have not only acquired millions for the therapy I will eventually need - I will have cucked a capitalist demigod. 
 

I’ve shot my shot on Twitter. Prayers up for me. It’s getting real in the USA and I have kids to feed (cats) 

*edit, I have been blocked by Melinda Gates on Twitter. On to Bill. I’m honestly just looking for money. What’re you guys arguing about? Capitalism? Huh...

The whole team's rooting for ya.

in comparison to the US and its capitalist client states all around the world, they [China] clearly are [a paragon of virtue] if you look at the quality of life statistics

do you have any idea what youre saying when you say it? no shit the US has higher quality of living standards than China, the US is the center of the global imperial core and syphons resources off the rest of the world through colonization and deep exploitation of workers in colonial regions.  im getting so bored of this

How are you going to say that China is a paragon of virtue compared to the US when looking at quality of life statistics (which you don’t even reference for context) and then say that the US has a higher quality of life? And completely ignore that China is doing the same things you claim you despise the US for, such as military bases abroad (in return they grant easy credit and loans), investing in extractive resources and the infrastructure and services to facilitate that extraction, and where freedom of speech is approaching 1984 levels of ridiculousness. 
There’s a reason that Chinese are emigrating in droves(PDF),and it’s not cause the CCP is looking out for its comrades.

it's arguable that WTO/World Bank etc follow agendas of the nations that control them.. not always but often one country or another can put a thumb on the scales to help decide who and who doesn't get loans for development etc. 

 

Which is an interesting claim to make (not saying you're making it) considering China has been one of the largest borrowers and recipient of technical assistance, and have used (or attempted to use) that aid to carry out programs of resettlement and displacement. At the same time, the World Bank's loan conditions have evolved considerably over the years. The authors also note that loans are more dependent on timing as opposed to who the recipient is.

re: the last two pages: actions speak louder than words. words are great but continuously empty words (especially in this era) are...well, they're worthless.

you know what sucks is that the .us (and .uk and .ca) all made unilateral deals for covid vaccines covering those nations more than twice over while other countries (eg. chile) have to wait until those nations are "satisfied" with their supply for it to trickle down to them, or those nations agree to the covax deal (they have agreed to chip in but currently have not yet). by delaying getting vaccinated, they're putting other people in danger that could benefit from having the "luxury" of getting the vaccine
