  • The belt and road initiative is an example of imperialism. If you don’t understand that then everything else you understand is wrong completely. It’s literally the definition of imperialism.

    I’m not a country influencing a country with policies and diplomacy. Nice try though.

    You guys don’t understand imperialism that simple. A country influencing another, that’s imperialism there’s really no other way around it. You’d call the one who is doing the most influencing in the world, imperialist countries.



  • They haven’t imperialized it, I don’t think that’s really how you even say that, but they engage in imperialism especially in Africa. I think you’re just not willing to admit their behavior is literally by definition imperialism especially because a huge intent is to weaken western influence, the whole goal of imperialism is influence. So if you engage with trying to influence another country, you’re doing an imperialism.

    China is definitely socialist I’m not denying that, they have socialist structures and aspects. But acting like they’re not imperialistic and don’t engage with any capitalism just isn’t true and they’re things people around here really believe they are and it comes off as either ignorant or like you’re shilling some crap. You know? It’s polarizing to be dishonest.











  • Sure I’ll put my cult hat ontop of my tinfoil one.

    Ryan Cohen is a capitalist with his own self interest. He has it out for Amazon and believes they’re owning a massive section of business and doing it poorly so it’s silly nobody is taking their lunch over and over again. He did it once with chewy, kind of. He had to build that one from the ground up but it’s okay.

    He sees GameStop and eBay as powerful names that he’s gonna try to steal the online gaming market obviously. But he notices the economy is getting bad, new consoles aren’t likely, people probably won’t be building as many PCs in the next few years. It’ll likely be a lot of second hand trading, he wants to create that space and really hammer on the trade in vibe GameStop had for a while. I think he’s going to abandon the brick and mortar stores as they are and become more hobby shop/pick up your online purchase here.

    It’s a pretty good idea, the line goes up, he has a history of exactly that plan and he’s built a fake internet personality to develop a fanboy cult essentially.

    I think if this eBay thing happens things will probably be even more green.
