It's newspeak for wanting to be capitalist while ignoring human rights violations

[–] TotallynotJessica@lemmy.world 20 points 11 months ago

I don't know why you wrote anything after "capitalist." Ignoring human rights violations is normal capitalist behavior.

The term is honestly worse than that. It's about how the US government can make a future war with China less economically disastrous without hurting the delicate pocketbooks of the fragile owning class in the short term.
