Empires usually end up collapsing under their own weight due to sheer incompetence and arrogance.

This is a paraphrase of a comment that I posted on Reddit some time ago:

China certainly exports ideology. For example, the notion of “mutually beneficial win-win cooperation” as opposed to the “zero-sum game”. These types of ideals serve as the foundation for China-Global South (South-South) cooperation to industrialize and modernize former colonized and developing nations rather than simply exist as raw material exporters. This way, they can finally pry the grasp of the imperial core on their holdings and become an independent, sovereign power. You could consider that exporting “revolution” or “socialism”.

Russia isn’t going to lose. The Ukrainian counteroffensive has been a complete failure, and Ukraine’s Western patrons are already at the stage of acceptance. Of course, Russia won’t agree to freezing the war, like what happened at Korea, because they have all the leverage.

In the recent ASEAN Plus Three (APT) summit, the Chinese delegation warned not to let the Asia-Pacific region turn into another Ukraine, and SE Asia seems to be following suit. The imperialists are panicking!

Apple isn’t innovative, anyways. They implement already-existing features onto their models for a slight upgrade, and sell it at monopoly prices.

Also, planned obsolescence…

Probably because BRICS knows that France has no intention on furthering the goals of the organization.

The modern, neoliberal variant of feudalism: neo-feudalism.

So, why can’t Japan find a way to continue to store it or safely depose of it? Is it really because of supposedly high costs that the government can’t afford?

Edit: Also, slightly off-topic, but what would happen if all the nuclear-contaminated wastewater was discharged at once rather than gradually discharged over the course of 30 years?

Edit 2: It seems like safer methods of treating the wastewater, like vapor release, will cost the Japanese government 10x more than simply releasing it into the ocean. Still, an unwise decision that prioritizes short-term costs reductions over the long-term ecological and health consequences on the people of the Asia-Pacific region.

Here’s to hoping that Europe can separate from the US and integrate with Eurasia 🥳

Thank you for the insight.

BRICS+ and Expanded BRICS are the common, alternative names that I’ve heard so far.

You’re probably on to something since the same inter-bourgeoisie clash is occurring in other US-occupied countries, like Germany and South Korea.

A little bit off-topic, but I would like to know what you think is the average Japanese youth’s opinion of China; high school- to university-age students, specifically. I feel like your opinion would be solid since you seem to be living in Japan.

I don’t really understand what’s going on. Just recently, Japan was pushing for its inclusion into NATO and ramping up its military; meanwhile, they seem to be increasingly interested in distancing itself from the US, such as steadily dumping its US treasury holdings. In any case, I hope that this ends for the better and that the US-Japan relationship can finally be dismantled.
