China Uncensored did a video on what an invasion of Taiwan would look like

Based on this article:



The first one is a blockade of the Island. But then China would be sitting ducks for the rest of the world once the calvary comes running in.
The second, china strikes taiwan with missiles and storms the island. And the rest of the world is playing catch up.
The last one is the second option, on steroids. They still storm the island, but also attack Taiwan's allies at the same time. Both physical and cyber attacks. Basically, distract the US, et. al, from coming to Taiwan's aid by causing issues elsewhere.

The last one sounds like pure fiction tbh. It reads like something from a Jack Chick tract. They might do some physically or cyber attacks. But not both at once. The article mentions the possibility of China activating cells it has of nations within the US and elsewhere.

But then again, if they do go with the last option, it could leak out. Ala the Zimmerman telegraph. And then the US would have a reason to rally the rest of the world to sanction China and impose large tariffs on them.


Possibly russia as well. Russia owes china a solid.
I think Russia wants an out. China is pressing them to absorb Chinese exports and has already redrawn maps to claim Russian territory. They really don’t have friends because they fundamentally don’t see the world as containing friends.

Other than that, of course China wouldn’t just blockade. And the US’s main advantage is actually starlink, because it’s the satellite version of the swarm tech everyone was talking about for sixth gen fighters. Hard to take out the US’s communications, and of course we can’t know, but I think they talk to eachother and can perform gps

OH ALSO

We’re changing what the marine corps does. They don’t operate armor battalions like an invasion force anymore, or are in the process of phasing it out. They’re being redesigned into self sufficient missile teams that can be deployed on island and launch shit at targets over the horizon, like our own Houthis

Chinese are quickly catching up on Starlink with their Thousand Sails program. Nothing's off the ground yet but this is an advantage the US won't have for long
 
To me, that's the problem. During the transition from Obama to Trump, politics went from being something only the grown-ups followed, to becoming a part of pop-culture. The 2016 election season spawned so many memes, and generated so much discussion online, that the Internet never really went back. And everyone in the country put the battle for political ideals at the center of their thinking, and at the center of their creative works, both corporate and independent.

There are just some people who are not cut out for politics, and really never should've gotten into them to begin with.
Bullshit. Absolute bullshit.

I agree the 2016 fucked the internet beyond repair, but the first politician to aggressively shove his penis into culture as part of his strategy was Obama in 2008.
Just one example but a perfect one: https://youtu.be/wKsoXHYICqU

And even though it wasn't a positive everybody in America knew that Bush was the dumb guy who had a book filled with dumb quotes. Every movie and tv show of the 2000s had him being made fun of in some way or another.

Politics has never strictly been for the adults, i would sayin the 90s it was for a brief period but that was mainly just because things were so chill normies couldn't be bothered to give a shit. Ronald Reagan won state and presidential elections by being a movie star, and i can't remember who but there was some president way back in the day who's hair was fawned over by women's magazines.

Music has always been political, dead kennedys, sex pistols, beatles, even the 90s had rage against the machine calling candidates out by name in their gay michael moor directed videos which are admittedly awesome as is the music even if though message is retarded.

Politics matters and it involves ultimate power, which makes it sexy. Normies and retards have always liked it.

The only good political band is Guns and Roses

Axl spent like almost 30 years to release an album of convoluted nonsensical insanity and created one of art’s greatest double entendres, Chinese Democracy
 
It's a largely dead practice at this point from my understanding but there's really no reason it shouldn't be if lefties are so concerned with "rehabilitation" rather than "punishment".
Agreed. Anyone in jail who both has the ability to be rehabilitated and wants the chance to learn skills that will help them upon release should be afforded the opportunity - whether it's earning a GED/vocational certificate, leather craft, etc. That way, they're both held accountable for their wrongs and learn something that betters themselves for their return to society.

Also, all the Democrats need to do is back someone moderate. Stop the communist shit, stop the identity politics shit, and be at least a little fiscally responsible. That's fucking it.
Political parties in general seem to have periods where either drift towards the political extreme or entertain that bloc more than they should. The Dems seem to have the sunken cost fallacy in appealing to the far left because they've invested so much into their extreme political stance that it seems as if they don't want to abandon it lest they alienate the most vocal and militant of their voting base. Sadly, many of the long-time moderate politicians are getitng too old or too tired of the polar extremes in either party they're not running for reelection and being replaced by less moderate politicians. Worse, the current state of party politics is such that agreeing with an opponent in any way is seen as political treason. As long as both parties have that stance, political moderation will be the exception and not the norm.

-Black woman (is she black or indian? I still haven't gotten confirmation on this) loses to trump
The Dems treat Harris like a chameleon and use whichever race is most beneficial to them at a given moment. It's consistent with their ever-increasing focus on identity politics even though more independent and undecided voters are getting sick and tired of it being used as a wedge issue.

We're just seeing the evolution of politics. People have always been stupid, its just never been exposed in the medium of the internet so much. In 2008, it was Facebook, Twitter and YouTube that was en vogue with Obama. The more people who got on the Internet the more it became more significant in the political sphere. Look at how legacy media is being phased out by Youtube, streamers and podcasters now. TikTok is how a significant chunk of zoomers are getting their news now.
 
Jesus fucking Christ that's like mercy kill by drowning in toilet territory.
Yeah, that's well into "stupidity incompatible with life" land. I get it that clinicians need to find fancy names to put on their forms to quickly label each particular flavor of health "issue," but just roping that kind of broken-brained existence into "oh that's just low-functioning autism" is an insult. Might as well just be honest and call it "non-functioning autism" at that point if they're going to insist in keeping it under that umbrella.
 
Everything is business as usual. Thank you immensely for hiding the board from guests.
I'm pretty sure the board is hidden because the full text of news articles is just pasted directly, and I guess copyright fags get less mad when you put their shit up for free if it's behind a login wall. That's why substantial sections of article text pasted on other boards has to be inside a private tag, which you need to be logged in to see.

I guess you can still be thankful USPG is on this board instead of mass debates where it belongs, but it's nicer to be able to easily archive and share articles mid thread anyway.
 
Carlin is cancer incarnate. He is the proto redditor. Completely detached but full of zeal to shit all over everything. I would pay good money to see him and Bill Hicks ressurected and have Bill Hicks smash his faggy face in with a hammer. If Carlin was still alive he'd be sayin "just call them Xir, what's the big deal you call it a 'venti' instead of a small you jackass!" To a roar of retards clapping.
Fuck you, nigger. Carlin fought all the way to the Supreme Court for the right to swear in public (and privately in theaters, for that matter). He also pioneered openly mocking political correctness of all kinds, including the stupid insistence on saying "person" instead of "man" and a broad variety of other linguistic stupidity. If anything, age dulled the edge he used to slice up modern cultural stupidity.
 
I don't see any white guys picking produce. Most the truckers running ghost codrivers got turbans. Can't speak for other industries but in logistics they want some brown skin that can't speak English that'll thank you for the opportunity to run illegally for .42cpm
Until there's some severe business ruining penalties for hiring illegals (along with mandatory jail time for the bosses) those companies will see the fines as the cost of doing business.
 
As someone who owns a call center specializing in scamming old ladies, I’m frankly horrified by H-1B changes Trump allegedly has in the pipeline.

$130k is too low. That's below entry level in the Bay Area. Should be at least $500k, preferably $1 million. After all, they're supposed to be "elite human capital" who produce so much value that even a salary of a million dollars is a rounding error, not clueless new grads.

Thank god he fought for the right to say fuck shit piss cunt motherfucker so he could keep praising niggers and calling white people lame

The new strategy is near shoring and DEI boot camps. Take a nigger and give them an office job after crash coursing subject matter for 6 weeks and then park their ass in a white collar job.

The near shoring trick is just setup a subsidiary south of the border. It can be partially or wholly owned, and now you get mexicans running your it department for less than tcs/infosys costs and they are more compotent to boot. Eastern Europe is also eating Indias lunch on engineers. They cost less (than the Indian engineers even) and are actually fucking good.

Its only companies that were stupid enough to put jeets in leadership positions that are struggling to cleanse the infection right now. Unfortunately 2 of those companies are Microsoft and Google. Both have terminal cases. Amazon has lots of jeets too but they use em up and throw em away.
