    I know people don't like hearing or thinking that. Personal agency and sentience is a key motivator in people. But it's all a illusion. You don't have much say in your own life, let alone the course of world events. Nobody here does. Failure to accept that is just repeating a cycle of hopeful delusions because it makes you feel better than the cold reality of existence.
    you're a pussy with a defeated attitude.

    there is no fate. the future is infinitely malleable.

    Not by you or anyone else. It's all up to chance and luck and a million different, unaccountable and uncontrollable variables. Calling me defeated doesn't change that, it doesn't make you the victor because you want believe otherwise. I've simply accepted the meaninglessness of it all, the inability to affect ones own personal circumstances to any meaningful degree. You haven't, but that doesn't make it any less true.

    And know what I have come to know? They'd likely choose their ignorance. I know I would, if I could remove the piercing light of lifes futility I would. It'd be much happier, like that of a dog or a bird. But I am a man, and have reason enough to see these things.

    While speaking to the Hudson Institute in Washington, FBI Director Christopher Wray confirmed what New Europe has been concerned about, saying that acts of espionage and theft by China’s government pose the “greatest long-term threat” to the future of the US.

    Thanks, here is the complete speech & questions @ the institute....

    Ppl should keep in mind this is only part of the problem, the tip of the iceberg. If he had two more hours he probably couldn't cover everything....
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    Ok, and what happens when the Chinese controlled banks say "We will no longer do business with (whatever party proposed the that)"?

    Yes, that is very, very, very true, something he failed to mention, probably for political reasons or time but it isn't the only reason... What Wray said is true, they are stealing as much as the can & American/western corps, CEO's etc are selling out to profit themselves & fuck everyone else..

    Biden has little will, and what he does have is aligned with the globalists.

    IMHO you both have a valid points~semantics.. Sure there is a plan but the CCP is not directing companies to do this or that & make money, contacts, advantage etc.. They don't need to, they'll do it on their own.. So they are more similar to a modern mercantile adventure then a strict stalinist central plan set in stone..

    Another thing he didn't mention & the advantages & power over the recipients(BRI members/participants) this relationship gives the ccp.....

    good governance provides the tools to limit social damage from nefarious corporate decisions.

    this is why we have trade agreements, and tariiffs. we just need to use them.

    china should be kicked out of the wto.

    we were told allowing china in the wto would change them for the better. that was a lie.
