I love how this meme has become a posting tradition every US election since the Chapo subreddit days.

Generally his video essays about Imperialism/ Settler-Colonialism are extremely on point and a great way to educate libs, but yeah his takes on AES can be hit and miss.

In regards to Venezuela, while their nominally socialist government definitely has its problems (even if you ignore the likely electoral fraud, Maduro has suppressed much of the Venezuelan left including the Communist Party, and his policies are largely social democratic in nature), as a Marxist who lives in the Global North, my first position towards Venezuela or any country in the Global South is to lift all sanctions and/ or stop Western intervention for imperialist interests. This is why we have critical support for imperialized countries.

What do you expect from the same country that thinks hamas-red-triangle means "evil antisemitic hate symbol!!"

It's like Germany learned nothing from the last century and is still trying its hardest to be on the wrong side of history.

The thing you're forgetting though is that Kamala is ALSO a shitty candidate like Hillary and Biden was.

As others have already pointed out, she is the only candidate who polled worse than Biden against Trump. She's nowhere near the level of charm and charisma Obama was.

At least half the country thinks she's a Cultural Marxist that will destroy America (I wish). And her fanbase is nearly identical to Hillary's was (suburbanite wine moms).

Of course her being younger, not part of any political dynasty, and also actually non-White could tip the scales in her favour. But we'll see.

So the US gets all the greedy, self-centred Capitalists from China, while China gets all the rational, forward-thinking Scientists and Academics from the US? Cool.

The Forest.

Peaceful. Quiet. No people to bother me (great for Introverts). A place to get good sleep. Fresh locally sourced food. Perfect weather.

My kind of escape from this hell world.

There's still people on the Steam Forums and Reddit trying to rally people to get the Arrowhead Community Managers (at least one of which is Transgender) fired.

This is such a stupid "protest" largely driven by Chud G*mers who couldn't read the fine text of a game they bought, and now are trying to turn an inconvenient account requirement into GamerGate 2.0.

The sooner anything about this 'ironic' Fascist video game gets off my social media the better.

According to this article China makes up 27% of Intel's revenue (its SINGLE biggest market) and 15% of AMD's revenue (its third largest). Will be interesting to see how badly this will affect the bottom line of both companies in the coming years.

Considering the US already bans Nvidia and AMD from selling their high-end GPUs to China, this ban was going to happen sooner or later. China just decided to pre-emptively do it so they can plan ahead for the phase-out as opposed to being caught off guard.

China leading a potential Linux revolution on the global tech industry would be glorious to see.
