China is good actually.
Apparently it doesnt matter what he says and does, all that matters is what goes through his head 😅
Hitler wasn't a nazi, nor the oligarchs that propped him, the real nazis were the people!
In that case, if larping as a nazi is a viable economic strategy, i'll just conclude that the US and its people are fascist. I mean i already knew that anyways. Elon is just awkardly trying to fit in, he is just a tailist!
if he talks like one, acts like one, openly embraces and materially promotes nazis, is he not a nazi? what more do you need? Does he need to start gassing people to gain the priviledge of being called a nazi?
The nazis didn't immediately start gassing people btw, it was a process that eventually led to that.
you're right, critique movies are nothing more than a treat to keep the discourse going instead of actual action.
I thought it was a critique of american idiosincracy, while the world ending crisis is an analogy to climate change imo the main point of the movie is that the US is run by self-interested idiotas.
My problem with the movie is that they're obviously referencing the republicans when both parties do the same and that the movie is way too "white man burden" coded.
"The material, sensuously perceptible world to which we ourselves belong is the only reality.... Our consciousness and thinking, however supra-sensuous they may seem, are the product of a material, bodily organ, the brain. Matter is not a product of mind, but mind itself is merely the highest product of matter." — Karl Marx
There has to be a balance, we need to understand that as long as we export harvests out of the field we need to import nutrients into the field. We can't expect plants to naturally replenish the nutrients that we unnaturally extract.
Also we need to understand that when we introduce heavy machinery into a field, we need heavy machinery to break compaction. Plants and soil organisms simply cannot naturally break the compaction caused by our unnaturally heavy machinery that is heavily concentrated in the small contact area of a tire.
Some of these dogmatic beliefs lead to "regenerative" farmers being more extractivists than the industrial farmers they demonize.
Plants compete between them for resources, sorry but its idealistic nonsense to claim that they work together.
Yes they do, still it's not sufficient enough to replenish what is needed. Agriculture is an open loop system, it requires external inputs to continue to operate. Without external inputs, agriculture turns into minery.
His trusted source is a German man that doesn't speak chinese, has never been to china and uses satellital pictures of buildings in construction as proof, like it is eyeopening how much media buzz someone as unserious as Adrian Zenz has only because he preached the "china bad" narrative.
