It’s not even close, it’s also the primary driver of the climate crisis that threatens us as the species.

because the logic of capitalism dictated it https://americanaffairsjournal.org/2021/08/the-value-of-nothing-capital-versus-growth/

Oh that must be that whataboutism dronies like to screech about.

Europe is clearly providing material support to Israel in the war of aggression against Iran.

You gotta love these mask off moments when they just come out and say what it’s all about.

Given that Russia is on the side of the global south, yeah they are the good guys in the primary contradiction between the west and the rest of humanity.

When China invades a province of China? 🤡

China are objectively the good guys here, and the US is a rabid dog of a nation that German fascists used as their model. It’s pretty obvious who the bad guys are.

if any bombs drop on China or Russia then you can kiss your ass goodbye because burgerland will become a nuclear wasteland

and I’m sure Russia and China will just sit there and not retaliate

I’ve started using an ereader just cause I am running out of space for books, but I do still prefer the feel of paper.

I think it’s going to be a bit more complex than that because most people in Ukraine are tired of the war, and they’re starting to realize they were used by the west. I don’t expect there’s going to be much appetite for some sort of an insurgency movement after the war is over. Meanwhile, the resentment towards the west will very probably result in blow back in Europe. The US will likely keep meddling, but I do think their influence will collapse in the whole region.

I love how all the chuds from nazi adjacent instances come out of the woodwork to downvote anybody pointing out the basic facts of the situation.

they will

The World Bank just reclassified Russia as a high income country https://blogs.worldbank.org/en/opendata/world-bank-country-classifications-by-income-level-for-2024-2025

Meanwhile, the IMF forecasts that Russian economy is set to grow faster than all the western economies https://www.cnbc.com/2024/04/17/russia-forecast-to-grow-faster-than-advanced-economies-in-2024-imf.html

I’m really not sure what it is you think Russia lost access to exactly given that they’re part of BRICS which is a bigger economic bloc than the G7 at this point.

It’s important to understand that the US is not omnipotent. Russia has defeated NATO in Ukraine, and the US can do nothing to change that. The US also sees China as their primary adversary, and they’re not stuck supporting Israel against Iran. They simply do not have the resources to contest Russia now.

That’s highly dependent on the instance I find.

funny you should mention that (I know you’re being sarcastic :)

Overall, our results suggest that the rise in remote work and TFP growth are positively correlated. From 2019 to 2021, the (weighted) average percentage-point increase in remote workers across industries was 14.9. This suggests that the rise in remote work was associated with an average 1.2 percentage-points increase in industry-level TFP.
