neoLiberal ideology is how rich and powerful men can prey on women, then make them think it was their own "progressive" choice. Make them sell to the rich guys then turn around to blame their problems on the poor guys.

When you cannot have real scientific, technological and social development progress, you fill people's minds up with "progressive ideology" bullcrap.

Ultimately they still have a zero-sum mentality.

They tested the waters with the Crazy horse incident involving Lisa and Angela baby not long ago. They've always wanted to try open up the virgin markets in China regarding gambling, prostitution and drugs. Once you do that mafia and human trafficking business, government bribing/involvement is next.

There was a book Why Women Have Better Sex Under Socialism by anthropologist Kristen Ghodsee that shows how much better relationships are under socialist conditions. She compared the sexual satisfaction of women in West and East Germany, and found that women in East Germany had better sex.

I think liberal feminism sold women and men short, and did a lot of damage without delivering the goods. And by goods I mean: free childcare, maternity leave, and democratized access to things like music and art classes and sports.
In a lot of ways, liberal feminism feels like a psyop meant to give just enough freedom to women to make both women and men miserable. Yes, the sexual “revolution” liberated women to have as much sex as they want before marriage or even instead of it. But everything that has to do with childrearing and maternity has remained private and unchanged, while the only thing that has progressed is the ability for women to get jobs and climb the corporate ladder like a man.
Rachel Cusk had the same realization after living a big chunk of her life according to libfem values: “What I lived as feminism were in fact the male values my parents, among others, well-meaningly bequeathed me—the cross-dressing values of my father, and the anti-feminine values of my mother. So I am not a feminist. I am a self-hating transvestite.”
WWII was the only time the universal childcare existed in America and even now it seems radical. What do women get instead? The most elite professional women working for Apple, Facebook, Google, Uber, Spotify, and many other top corps get tens of thousands of dollars so they can freeze their eggs. But they don’t get childcare.

Al-Jazeera, one of my most despised news outlets does occasionally produce some gems. I find this one quite entertaining.
Its a documentary about how crap the India media is, and why it is so despised by India's neighbours.

Still, according to the Reporters Without Borders (RSF) Press Freedom Index, India is ranked at 151, much higher than Vietnam, Russia, Iran, China, and North Korea. China is near the bottom of the list, at the 3rd last place. Journalistic integrity is not counted in the RSF score, only "freedom". So India beats China in press freedom. Jai Hind!
India has been pretty successful in developing the Akhand Bharat narrative and ingraining it into Indian minds. At this point, it is irrelevant how silly their media looks to the external audience because the domestic population is naive enough to believe it. Their population has gone beyond the point of where cognitive dissonance would force a reevaluation of beliefs (or perceived reality).

Like one of the guests said, this nonsense propaganda hinders India's foreign interests. But it does not hinder, rather it reinforces, domestic Indian beliefs. Indian narrative is of India a superman and everybody else a boogeyman.

I thought the dollar was already the reserve currency for the world. Trump relegated to becoming a typical Western politician where saying something as if it were new but just repeating what is old. What happened to his 100% tariff to anyone who doesn’t use the dollar?

They aren’t talking about being a reverse currency but a step up above being the global reserve currency. Their new idea is dollarization. If for example Argentina fully dollarizes then the Peso will be phased out for Dollars as their main local tender. Their logic being if they can only use dollars then China has to trade with them in dollars. Chances of this happening is basically next to nil.

MAGA new plan is to try forcing everyone else to adopt the US dollar as their primary currency, which they hope will counter China. Beside trying to control the central banking and monetary policies of others such as Pakistan which in turn will allow them to choose their own pro-US vessels to lead the countries.
Reserve currency is definitionally the global trade currency and as such is inseparable from trade, so by definition its the country that dominate global trade that decides what is the reserve currency.

Its just that a lot of people assumed without question that that nation will always assign reserve currency status to its own.

USD is only reserve currency because China still find it useful enough to assign that status to USD, if it doesnt doesnt, China can force worlds largest mining company BHP to switch overnight

There was also a documentary about it called "Do Communist have better sex?". Turns out removing the whole religious taboo and teaching proper sex education to parents and kids while also eliminating the commodification of sex, made people better lovers because they didn't have their brain rotted by porn or prudishness

Needless to say, quite NSFW.



And if anyone had any doubt the baltics are stupid.

China can do the reverse, full REE export ban, any nation that wants REE must fully dedollarize, then trade it in RBM etc
