The ruling classes will continue to spread hate and distraction away from themselves
I would add that the ruling classes will also hoard assets and make access to services (like healthcare, education and transportation) more exclusive and probably prohibitively expensive.
The economics of poor nations are probably what imperial core collapse will resemble.
It’s pretty obvious I would have thought : Organise with other comrades to collectively own and run productive stuff that helps your standards of living. By pooling your resources with others, you get better outcomes. Those who only can contribute their labour will be more productive if they have access to collectively owned tools. They can still trade their labour even if the currency has gone to shit.
Gamers : “I am being exploited by Chinese capitalism!” (Buys another Funko Pop to keep on the shelf still in original packaging)
Nostalgia is partly an indicator that current environment is so shit that it can’t just be reformed or tweaked to get to a better place. Instead the best solution that people want is to time travel back to before it all took a nosedive and restart from there.
The frog boils itself now?
Cheap solar and semiconductors will reduce the cost of manufacturing in US. Energy and chips are inputs to actually producing stuff that companies charge a lot more for.
Car tariffs is somewhat understandable.
Fuck off then. The topic is not about China. The HK police was just used as a comparison vs US police in terms of their response. You quoted a source that is particularly unreliable on HK riots because that’s just a sign of how butthurt China makes you.
US is complete shit. HK police were far far better. To call their behaviours similar is complete bullshit.

I won’t ever trust HKFP on anything.
HKFP dodgy as fuck as a source.
“Hi TSMC. Could you build a massive pseudo village/factory where you indoctrinate the locals with your toxic work culture, sending your managers to act as overlords for our under-educated workers? We will pay you.”
“You want us to basically colonize a town in Arizona?”
“Ummm… Yeah”

For Australia, it will be a long slog. The land rights acts getting through parliament that previously were making progress started to dry up about 15 years ago. IMO it was a sign Australian politics was going down the toilet.
Previous acts granted ownership of particular areas to various indigenous land councils. The councils would manage the land and it’s effectively a perpetual lease owned by the indigenous community. So post-revolution, those land rights concepts would have to come back and get expanded further to make decolonization work.
The stone stopped bleeding. You can’t squeeze indefinitely.
Work on your health. I suggest Yoga. Follow-along routines of whatever length you like can be found on YouTube.
Aside from what everyone else has said, the book advice itself is really bad also.
US government won’t build tech manufacturing facilities. It is ideological.
Private industry also doesn’t want to build tech manufacturing in US - not at a level that competes with China or other places in Asia.
Passive systems like this fog collecting tower save on energy but are large for the amount of water they collect : https://youtu.be/THJVuinPbc0?si=EHnQ_XQvQFvca3VG
Those towers use plastic mesh to collect the fog.
Researchers are working on new materials to collect more water : https://youtu.be/UlTbZ658eWM?si=6Ld8xemTOnAN7L43
There are still many anti-capitalist expressions from gamers and the like, but there are not enough leftist voices to frame them as such inside those communities.
I think another aspect that has occurred recently is capital corporations have cloned the socially progressive talking points of the left.
These concessions to progressive politics to court younger consumers are no challenge to the power of capitalism. Throwing corporate sponsorship at BLM, LGBTQ or environmental organisations still keeps real power in corporate hands. Allowing an amount of dissent and protest in non disruptive forms poses no threat to them (Don’t block a motorway and they’ll let you protest as much as you like).
However it does allow the far right to radicalize the geeks. They can be convinced that the SJWs are their enemy rather than the bosses who adopted some SJW points in the name of progress so business can run as usual. Both “sides” are still just an internal contradiction within capitalism.
Fuck your ignorance and wikipedia. You wouldn’t know shit about Tibet or give a fuck.
Bullshit white supremacists dog whistle their asshole attitudes towards colored people by characterizing the “bad” countries as dangerous uncivilized inhumane societies. They always claim it’s only the government being criticized. Doesn’t take much for a racist to slip up and shit on the entire population: the slightest 30 sec tiktok vid will set them off.
Whatever. Enjoy your racist tropes.
