It's being astroturfed all over my Twitter timelines also, and gives me huge flashbacks (wouldn't be surprised if it was heavily inspired by) of that absolutely stupid as fuck "black square" meme that Instagram was polluted with after Floyd/Taylor/Arbery in 2020 to ""stop"" black racism.
That was peak liberal/virtue signaling/normie cattle for me. A fucking black square? Really?

How fitting. Fake people whose business if faking personalities and parasocial relationships to be the speakers for the fake president.

That's actually pretty funny. Or would be if they hadn't flogged that dead horse so hard that at this point the bones are being worn down.
Pretty certain "the press are scum" has no exceptions carved out.

Null is pretty clear when it comes to his dislike of j*urnos and such, but pretty sure that he is also quite open about the fact that the Farms are always open and people should access it freely. There is a reason he refused to lock down the place or put the whole site behind a login wall, the worst he has ever done when it comes to limiting access to the farms itself is making it some people needed invite codes to make accounts during the height of Keffals drama to stop low effort fedposters.
Meaning I think he wouldn't much care I think.

Has anyfarmer realized all of our allies, even Europe, are cozying up to China after dropping our SWIFT ban "nuclear option" on Russia? Likewise, Saudi Arabia and Iran making cozy with each other and China?
What the fuck is this administration smoking? How is not one person able to get the message across that we shouldn't just sit idle while that happens?

Farmers here are coping and seething that China will collapse any day now. Instead of entertaining the idea that China is becoming an ascendant power while the US is declining.

You need only look here in the farms to see why. There are still people convinced that both Rossiya and Chyna are paper tigers, and therefore, they are unlikely to usurp the USD as a reserve currency, or indeed, to reduce dependence on the US. Also the usual moral argument of something something they're authoritarian shitholes therefore nobody would want to side with them, etc etc.
Me? I'm not convinced. The US has its run in the sun, but it is faltering right now, and a lot of recent American moves reek of desperation, not a position of strength. Russia will continue to be a regional power, that's for sure. As for China? Sure, maybe they're a paper tiger. Would you take a chance that they're not? Should you?
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right. Time will tell either way.

The people in charge have pretty much gotten high on their own supply and honestly believe their own propaganda. They completly forgot the rules or realpolitik, they really think people love western liberal democracy and that we are still on the "end of history the USA will never be challenged ever" sort of mindset.
Everyone is jumping ship and cozying up to China not out of any love or trust of China, and in the case of Europe it isn't even because they dislike the USA or western liberal democracy. It's because the USA has used up it's biggest trump card and it failed to get results, and at the same time they made it clear that they no longer have the complete hold on trade and business they claim. They violated their own stated mission of liberal trade values to punish Russia and they failed. All the SWIFT ban did was show weakness.
China is unstable, but that isn't really saying anything compared to the fact the USA is also unstable at the moment. Russia's weaknesses don't matter to Russia because they are playing a regional game first and only worried about recovering their superpower status in the real long run.
The bad times are only beginning.

China doesn't need to become the new superpower, just generating enough of an alternative to SWIFT is all it needs to collapse the tower of cards. To my surprise China didn't smash itself into a sandpit into Taiwan, they clearly got the lesson from the Russia - Ukraine fiasco and are actually playing it smart.
This doesn't mean China numba 1, and lets not kid ourselves, the only reason China can play this game is that the US is selfdestructing at an insane rate.

People forget that China was considered a superpower due to nuclear weapons and military size right up until Russia collapsed and everyone in the government and media "forgot" that China existed.

To be fair France and England were on that list too, so idly discarding it wasn’t that weird.

This exactly. The world doesn't work on some Paradox game rules where you have to have a superpower at all times for balance or some shit. The USA can lose it's status as super power and China can stay as the huge Asian power house without taking over the entire planet. Hell, does Beijing even WANT to take the exact place of the USA? They sure want the military power and economy, but does China actually want the same levels of cultural influence and trade positions? They are far more interested in their own imperial project first.

It's like I've said before, the only people putting in work at the White House are the press secretaries. The rest of them are there to reap the benefits of having their positions but they don't want any of the responsibilities that come with them.
Countries like China would be fools to not take advantage of our weakness.

Given how our stunning and brave transportation sec took a 'paternity' leave while the ports were utterly fucked, I'm inclined to believe this too.

Trump's a guy whose business never would have gotten off the ground if the guys who move I-beams around hated his guts.
