How Americans see themselves vs how they actually are, fitting allegory lol

Hmm, I wonder if they’re worried about names that would come out that will be associated with the government 🤔 nah I’m sure that’s not it

This is covered in Lenin’s Imperialism: The highest stage of capitalism. To paraphrase, the bourgeoisie is not a homogeneous group, especially across borders. They are in competition with the bourgeoisie of their nation and other nations for their share of wealth too.

Hopefully someone will give a more well sourced answer as I don’t have time to look up the passages from the text right now.

Mfw libs think calling someone a tankie is an insult rather than a compliment 😂

Just gonna reply to myself as Jerboa is buggy and keeps trying to mess up editing my comment.

The quotes in this article are hilarious.

The Commerce Department said this month it is working to obtain more information “on the character and composition” of the chip that may violate trade restrictions since they said it must have been made with U.S. technology.

Some US exceptionalism there.

Raimondo told the House Science Committee hearing she was upset by the advanced Huawei smartphone report.

Lmao, cry harder that illegal sanctions don’t work

The chairs of the House Foreign Affairs, Energy and Commerce, Armed Services, and select China committees last week urged the Commerce Department to stop granting licenses to Huawei and SMIC, and said it called for additional U.S. pressure “and more effective export controls on our adversaries.”

Ah yes, just cut off everything, I’m sure that won’t push China to develop it in house, like with the very SOC that they’re so butthurt about!

Raimondo also told reporters the apparent bans on some Chinese government official use of Apple’s (AAPL.O) iPhones by the Chinese government was “concerning.”

Noooo you can’t do the same thing to us that we did to you!!!

So somehow the US, which was surprised and furious that Huawei was able to co-develop a 7nm SOC with SMIC, now says that actually, they can’t produce more than a small batch.

Sounds like a whole lot of US cope lmao, how about the US gets back to us on Intel coming close to that.

The editor out of Langley, Virginia has the final say lol.

Is this supposed to imply that the users of Lemmygrad believe capitalism is the best system? Lol

Of course not, everyone knows that every vote counts and that votes are the sole source of how elected officials get in power! I personally get the warm fuzzies every time I tick a box on the ballot and say, “fuck the man, I’m voting you out! Take this!”, and then the business backed/incumbent/dynastic candidate wins anyways. I got home and say to myself, well I didn’t vote for them so they’re not legit in my books, despite that making no material difference in their hold on power.

TL;DR every vote counts, ignore existing power structures and capital interests, nothing to see here! pulls curtain

Thanks for coming to my TED talk on life in a liberal democracy.

Are you advocating for Russia to strike NATO countries for supplying weapons? That’s basically advocating for nuclear war, pretty bad take overall.

While I believe that people had differing opinions (they always do), I find it hard to accept that your anecdotal evidence speaks for all of the Baltic states populations that lived under the USSR.

By reducing everyone’s arguments against you to, “you just read what you did on the internet, I talked to real people therefore my argument is more valid”, the stance that you’re trying to take is not rooted in good faith.

Perhaps being able to cite surveys or census data, or at least some form of statistic, would add some foundation to your argument.

I’m gonna need some higher quality sources than Wikipedia for this one.

It’s a pity that the US targeted them, yeah.
