  • 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.

    No the issue is Republicans/their voters have been consistent in their shitty behavior. It builds up and gets things done for them

    Every two years Democrats go to the polls, maybe, and then throw up their hands when everything isn’t fixed, demand new politicians and continue to argue amongst themselves as the left has always done because it’s not about fixing things, it’s about being the more correct liberal/socialist/whatever else you wanna be. And the cycle repeats.




  • They had an agreement on a mutual benefit or common goal, that’s an ally. Not a friend, but an ally.

    Vegeta hates the z-fighters but he hated freiza more. Batman and the Joker against the Joker Who Laughs.

    That’s an ally, even if it is temporary or hate each other they’re still allies.

    Russia even released documents themselves showing such things.

    You guys are seriously severely sensitive to anything you can’t even speak truth.

    Okay that’s fine, they still were an ally to Germany. Part of the pact agreement was to not help enemies of the other. If two characters in Survivor or Squid Game said that, you’d call them allies lol
