there is a dunning kruger area of politically illiterate petit bourgeoisie and wannabes (liberals) who dislike leftism for a variety of reasons, many of them actually personal failings (shitty teacher/school admin, can’t break into the big bourgeoisie, incel because ugly/poor/misogynist, friends doing better than they are <- this is a big one) but in their minds easily attributed to leftist politics

in all fairness the government does do a lot of dumb shit a lot of the time for really shitty reasons but in these people’s minds they’re just built different and would have been fine or would be doing even better if china had completely capitulated and ended up like CIS or idk, india

they’re honestly not common at all (thank god) but i interact with them on a daily basis due to job/social circle and it takes everything i have to just stay hinged in conversations so i am taking this opportunity to vent, sorry

my mom tried to get me to read jd vance’s book and my dad is still a miles kwok cultist somehow

the fact that it’s cool and good for them to push their political evangelism on you but anything short of total acquiescence on your end is considered rude or aggressive makes conversations physically uncomfortable idk why i bother

i feel like i should be reading more conservative theory to be able to shit on it better

just tell them that china gets exported more capital than it exports itself and link them minqi li

and then when they show their whole ass by saying that any export of capital is imperialist call them infantile idealists and tell them to shut the fuck up

li’s analysis iirc was mostly first order as in he didn’t take into account how much of the exported chinese capital rois came back vs stayed domestic. idk if anyone’s established a framework for analyzing these higher order movements but would be cool to see.

i just wanted to point out that an exaggerated taiwanese accent is generally perceived to be more effeminate to your average mainlander. so their son was not in any danger of sounding like a hillbilly, at worst people might think he was gay or fem

is hovering a requirement? i thought most fpvs delegate target acquisition to other platforms

also it seemed to me that most strikes are on relatively slow vehicles moving in predictable directions and static emplacements, didnt feel like agility was a high priority
