  • Many Americans do not care. Brains have been rotted by their social media and “anti-woke” identity politics so critical thinking is waning. They’ll pay more and find a way to not blame it on Trump.

    America as a positive cultural force in the world is on its dying breaths. It was a good run. The rest of the world should be looking at moving forward while leaving America and the crypto, AI, and social networking dystopia it seems obsessed with creating behind.

    The rest of the world should be emphasizing divestment in the US and, overall, leaving America behind at this critical juncture.





  • US is in a state of slow implosion. Rest of the world needs to look at collaborating while excluding the US.

    My guess is China will fill the void left by the disintegration of USAID in order to boost its global standing.

    I strongly encourage all nations to begin violating US intellectual property rights. Nations like India already do so with pharmaceuticals.

    Eventually other nations will need to take on the mantle of tech and pharmaceutical research and development and we don’t want to live in a world where all this progress is lost.

    Americans have chosen to nuke their own democracy and we need to minimize the damage done to the rest of the world as much as possible.




  • They used to innovate, no doubt. But their products provide absolutely terrible value now. Great resale, sure. But you’re overpaying 20% for the hardware you’re getting which is not the case on the Android side. The only thing iPhone universally does better is 1) video and 2) ecosystem (if all your products are Apple). The rest is a tomaeto vs tomahto situation.

    Not relevant to most basic users but I could not use a phone where I did not have the freedom to sideload apps, especially if I’m overpaying for the hardware.

    Really not the time to sleep on China if you want to keep your Imperial empire guys.

    China completely ravaged US manufacturing and y’all are still in the corner wanking over ‘cheap Chinese product.’

    China doesn’t just make the cheap things you use. They make everything you use.

    Stop licking your wounds with petulent little jabs like this and start finding a way to compete. You know, the way your sacred free market dictates that you should.

    China went from making cheap things to making everything you use cheap with either you or the American corporation you purchased from pocketing the difference.

    They’re on a path to making things better than the US and once they do, we’ll have a new world order. If the US doesn’t wake up now, the second half of this century will be very different than the past 150 years.
