None of the folks I know that lean leftward on the U. S. political spectrum are Europhiles. No one that actually understands imperialist or colonialist history can be. It’s usually rightists that uphold ideas of European supremacy and “Enlightenment”!

The left are the real imperialist of old. Why? Because colonialist were motivated by what they think was right for everyone else just like how leftists think of themselves today. Whether you hide behind God, the environment, or human rights, they think what they want overrides what everyone else wants. Right-wingers are just racists. The right and the left of the West are just playing the good cop/bad cop routine.

None of the folks I know that lean leftward on the U. S. political spectrum hold such quasi-religious perspectives; they simply seek tp prevent the imposition of such quasi-religious beliefs onto themselves and theirs.

What I interpret is that the folks that you’re referring to always attempt to co-opt the legitimate historical grievances of others into their overarching cause and that some, particularly millennials and post-millennials, are susceptible to their ‘persuasion’ and methods.

As one, “Boomer”, ‘leftist’ observed, “the revolution will not be televised”. However, millennials and post-millennials seem to not understand that this applies, also, to all media of mass-media capitalism. They seem to ‘believe’ that real social, cultural, or political change can be accomplished through Twitter/X, Tik Tok, et c.!

@ACuriousPLAFan @Overbom @plawolf and to all on this forum, have you guys read this piece/essay recently published in Foreign Affairs Magazine in which the author discussed the disappearance of a number of high ranking generals from the PLARF including the most senior military man who headed the procurement from 2017-2022. The author posits that the PLA is a rougish institution that's prone and infested with scandals not to mention corruption.

Unlike the political hacks, the ones that actually make war plans have no illusions, that's why they are arguing that conscription may be needed, as Chevalier's quote suggests:
Just in, the Anglo Americans society are starting to really calculate the toll of a potential war against China.
Almost 3600 casualties a day, reaching and surpassing Ukraine levels but I’ll bet the chicken hawks of congress and their kids are never going to be drafted
However, this is an apt time to bring out Butler's quote once more.

Is this how Europe draws their conclusions...? Just like the US has no evidence about Uighur genocide except for people they paid to perpetuate Western propaganda. I read an article on how the EU was possibly going to use as an excuse for targeting Chinese EVs because of how much coal China was using domestically therefore their EVs are not actually friendly to the environment. Never mind how they won't be using Chinese coal power plants to charge their EVs in Europe. I guess it's like how the EU was going to tax the world's airlines for pollution even the ones that don't even fly over Europe. The Europeans are so high and mighty and only have humanity in their thoughts that they get to do this... That's the excuse they use to sanction China but China has no right to retaliate against them because of it.

I bet that they thought it was only Chinese brand EVs that would be affected but now they're attacking Tesla because the WTO would probably rule against them just for targeting "Chinese" EVs. It's strange the Europeans just started off attacking Chinese EVs for flooding the US when "Chinese" EVs only make up 4% of the European car market and of that the majority are Teslas and VWs made in China. It's because they didn't know it and just believed the political exaggerations that Chinese EV were out of control flooding Europe. Again... that's how they draw their conclusions. It's funny how Europeans and leftists in the US think Europeans live on a higher scale of evolution than everyone else including Americans. No they're becoming just like Americans by how they think.
The saving grace is that Germany, one of the most important countries in EU and the one most heavily engaged in China, disagrees with EU's protectionism.

You can't make this up. According to Netanyahu, the Holocaust wasn't the idea of Hitler and his Nazi henchmen, instead, it was the brainchild of some bad bad Muslims!

Good question:

I recognize the folks you refer to; they’re not alone in demanding perspectival centrality!

Their owning of “the environment is similar to, but unlike the “right” whose owning of ”the“ environment establishes their right to exploit and destroy ”the” environment for the good of their profits.

However, those on “the left” that I know don’t concern themselves with “the“ environment; they concern themselves with their environments.

Remember this?

That was Yellen back in March where she said US debt will reach 51 trillion by 2033 and that would be sustainable, well:

How the hell did Biden manage to spend a trillion dollars in 3 month? At 33 trillion in debt right now and spending at the rate of 4 trillion a year you will pass Yellen's figure of 51 trillion way before 2033.

And the most crazy thing is can you think of any big spending by US government in the last 3 month that makes you think "yeah okay, that's a trillion dollars well spent"?
