Thanks for explaining it to me a lot more clearly, you have any good resources to read into this about? Any authors you’d recommend? This is a massive blind spot in my political knowledge.

See: Venezuela, Iraq, Iran, Brazil, Cuba… the list goes on

Thanks a billion, probably more than a hint I should do the leg work lol. I’ll edit in anything I find interesting!

Yeah this is really beautiful and enlightening, it’s hard to deprogram yourself from this shit as you’re spoon fed so much stuff from the get-go it’s hard to reassess what’s different forms of wester kompromat.

Maybe I’m missing something but how does this legitimise the claim that China has over Taiwan? Surely you could use the same line of reasoning with Israel right? Genuinely curious btw as I’ve only ever dipped my toe into the history of this stuff. I feel like I’d like to look at any data gathered about how people living in Taiwan feel about this.

Thank you so much that offers some great jump off points for some reading. I’m definitely too uniformed to have an opinion here lol.

Another casualty of the American market.

Am I remembering right where William and Kate tried to visit somewhere with one of these bullshit tours and were told to fuck off pretty much?

I worked with a bunch of Roma on the hop farm and they were honestly the best people I’ve ever worked with. There was a really strong culture of sharing food and Jan found me a banger of a VW Passat for only £500. Jan would disappear off into the woods every lunch and forage tons of cob nuts and apples and we’d all chow down together. Farm owner treated them like shit though which was fucking typical.
