Comment on Trump Is Obsessed With Oil. But Chinese Batteries Will Soon Run the World
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 12 hours agoThere’s definitely an element of reflexive “China Bad!” in these predictions of imminent collapse. But I do feel like I’m talking to a KHiver doing the High Hopes dance in late October 2024.
The irrationality of the China Hawks feels endless. This country is simultaneously about the launch a Third World War on every regional neighbor and mere weeks away from complete societal implosion.
The sentiment seems to parallel people predicting the end of the AI bubble, people predicting that Trump will keel over and die from Oldtimers in the next few days, and people insisting they’re holding a winning lottery ticket two days before the drawing. Just total divorce from material conditions.

You think the USA is going to start WWIII? Bro, look around, China and Russia keep invading and occupying nearby nations. If it’s happening then it was already started by them.
You know what the best evidence is for “China Bad”? They promoted and endorsed Donald Trump, even utilized their TikTok psyops for his reelection.

Greenland does. Venezuela does. Iran does. I’m just observing what other people are saying.
Honestly, where do you even get this shit? The people who promoted Donald Trump were Americans. And they’d been promoting him since the 1970s. Nobody in China gave a shit about Trump until January 6th, 2017.
