Surely not. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom of the Great Peace has Peace in the name after all
where it's like hey, Jesus is Chinese now.
His brother Hong Xiuquan was Chinese, I think that's proof enough
This, also if you think about it- the total cumulative emissions of the west vastly exceeds that of China's, or India's, or that of any other global south country. And much of China's emissions are basically just the west's relocated industry, supporting western consumerism- and it is not so long ago that China was an immensely poor nation, even now it is still undeniably a developing nation (though developing in leaps and bounds). Coal, oil, etc... these historically have been necessary steps along the road to human development (and human basic needs which all the global south is struggling with > environment by-and-large; anything else is ecofascism or something akin to it).
But now- look at China, and the global south. China is upending even this historical path, and making massive leaps and bounds in not only renewable energy technology, but making said technology affordable and accessible to the masses and thus viable as a true replacement to fossil fuels. The global south at large is embracing it with all they've got (limited means, but they're embracing it all right). Look at the work of countries like China, or even India, or even some of the world's most impoverished nations along the west African Sahel, etc... and one can see that these nations, who have been given the brunt of climate/pollution imperialism- fully understand and are actively working to combat it (even if they also need to feed themselves, their families, they need to have basic needs like education, healthcare, housing, etc... these things don't grow on trees) with efforts that, in China's case, eclipse that of the west's (despite western wealth and decades of doing nothing and rather maintaining- to this day!- as wretched a system as possible, to maintain oil exec's profits, to maintain the local auto/etc industries' profits, etc etc etc), and in the case of other far poorer/less developed global south nations, resemble an effort far greater (compared to their resources) than that of any western country...
Thank you based Dirt_Owl
chickpea pls
Personally my takeaway from radicalization has been more of that- climate change, pandemics, even the threat of nuclear war, all of these cannot be ended without the death of empire.
The empire will die, or it will kill us all.
Their kid seems to have some minimum of human decency if nothing else. Does she deserve special attention for being a billionaire's kid? No, not really. But standing up against genocide certainly is a good take regardless of who it's coming from..
How does that work out, massive orgy and the one with the highest body count is champion? Whatever it is sounds pretty based
Seconded
Pretty much. My partner says I have a "great depression mentality" around food (stockpiling, etc) and it's true..
Don't worry you'll always have gabagool
Stage five: the sign presents the highest ideal and peak form within reality. The image portrays and encourages self-actualization within reality.
This, they're libs but they wanted more "independent, rebellious" vibes
Yay!!!
Sounds cozy AF :3
Alma (Turkic for "apple"), Xingxing (Chinese for "twin stars"), Thana (Arabic for "praise").
Good point, hmm. Depending on when I could join in spite of it and just try to tank (insert western country) to oblivion lol
I own but haven't played it- and can't really claim to have played other Paradox 4xes much. (most I have is 10hrs on Stellaris- did play 60hrs Cities Skylines though lol) Interested tho
Saw this thread, and it really hit a chord with me, as these similar fears tend to constantly weigh on me (for various reasons- being trans, ethnic Chinese, commie, etc).
I think we all (leftists, but also just most minorities) know, shit is bad and will get worse, it's just a question of how bad it will get. People mention it offhand without usually going further into the details, and similarly in other spaces - non-leftist ones as well, for instance Asian diasporic and LGBT spaces in my experience, these fears come up, but ultimately we keep the bulk of our concerns to ourselves. What are our expectations here, for the west? Not just for the US, but the Anglosphere and Europe?
