ANTIFASCIST MAJA T. IN HONGERSTAKING UIT PROTEST TEGEN “ONMENSELIJKE” GEVANGENISOMSTANDIGHEDEN
Antifascist Maja T is vandaag begonnen met een hongerstaking (5 juni, vert.) uit protest tegen haar behandeling door de Hongaarse justitie sinds haar uitlevering uit Duitsland vorig jaar. Maja, die zich identificeert als niet-binaire vrouw, is tijdens haar gevangenschap in Hongarije onderworpen aan onmenselijke omstandigheden, waaronder maandenlange constante videobewaking, voortdurende eenzame opsluiting en ‘intieme fouilleringen’ waarbij ze gedwongen werd zich uit te kleden. Ze kreeg sporadisch bezoek, het eten was onvoldoende en haar cel werd geteisterd door bedwantsen en kakkerlakken.

As a social media professional, I'm sure you know that retention is the big challenge in growing a service or network. Nevertheless, you've planted a bunch of seeds there. When those people find the migration motivation that hits home for them (and that's different for everyone), they'll be well ahead of those who want to migrate but are starting from scratch.

Trump is seen as inherently risky. He has just a short few years remaining. A president like him comes only rarely.

in reply to 52fighters • • •Making more money has to be weighed against creating more risk for yourself. Setting up supply chains and trade agreements takes time and effort, and if you're in a volatile situation where you might have to scramble to find new buyers at a moment's notice that negates any increased revenue in the short term.
Meanwhile, nobody was holding out. China has been steadily redirecting trade away from the US for many years now, and the process has only been accelerating. These new buyers are in BRICS, and their demand is increasing because these are growing economies where the standard of living is rising. Chinese investments in things like building infrastructure in these countries are directly facilitating that.

Trump is a product of the existing material conditions in the US, and when Biden was in power, nothing much changed, hence why Trump was able to get back in a second time. When Trump is out, another opportunist will replace him. The US is in a downward spiral that's self reinforcing.
The material decline breeds a toxic political climate ripe for opportunism. Instead of acknowledging the root causes of the widespread suffering, politicians seize on the general malaise, offering shallow promises and hollow slogans. They play to the public's frustrations, scapegoating convenient targets, but avoid any discussion that would necessitate painful, yet necessary, course corrections. Each successive election cycle, fueled by increasingly opportunistic rhetoric, sees the country sink into an even worse state, as underlying issues fester and compound. That's where the US is today, and nothing will get better going forward.

in reply to ☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆ • • •In the past 10 years...
Only India beats US GDP growth and that's because US-based businesses are moving some of their production away from China and to India.
The risk is on the buyer. That's US businesses buying from China. US businesses pay, then China ships. What happens at the ports with tariffs is the problem of US businesses. China is going to keep selling so long as orders are coming in.
Voters report voting for him as a reaction against inflation. Inflation was caused by a reaction to Covid. The material condition has changed and the appetite for someone like Trump has waned as a result. That's why his popularity is so low.

in reply to 52fighters • • •The G7 is literally a smaller economic bloc than BRICS using PPP measure. Meanwhile, the appeal of Burgerland is that it's a consumer economy, and consumption is now collapsing because of an unfolding recession. Meanwhile, the full impact of the trade war with China hasn't even hit yet.
The US launched a trade war against virtually the entire world. China, conversely, is fighting a trade war solely against the US. Naturally, China has abundant opportunities to redirect trade away from the US and towards the very nations the US is simultaneously attacking economically. Plenty of new trade opportunities are opening up.
Furthermore, buyers outside the US need only pay more than the post-tariff US price minus the tariff cost suppliers are expected to absorb. In practice, this means Chinese goods become cheaper and more competitive for the rest of the world, while the US market faces reduced supply and higher prices.

in reply to ☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆ • • •The US has manageable problems. Russia & China do not. They have unmanageable problems. Russia and China both have population free-falls and a rapidly aging population. China's economy hasn't grown for the past three years. And that's with their official statistics, so it is likely much worse. Xi's political leadership is in limbo with internal factions alienating him from his own leadership. Way too much of China's "wealth" is tied-up in real estate because they failed to grow other means of investing and saving. As that collapses with the population, real poverty will set in and the people will realize that their government failed them. This plus Xi's drive toward war and his poor economic performance the past few years are why he is on the outs, leader in name only. Russia is getting their ass kicked by a nation 1/10 their size, gaining only a few acres per day at the cost of over a million casualties.

in reply to 52fighters • • •Literally the opposite is true. The US is in a far worse situation in terms of demographics because it lacks basic social services both Russia and China provide. One has to be incredibly ignorant to think that China has a worse population problem than the US.
Meanwhile, China's economy has grown at over 5% each year over the past three years, and Russia is growing at 4% a year, while the US economy continues to crumble.

in reply to ☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆ • • •Are you a bot? Or a paid troll? There's no way anyone has the ability to post as much drivel online as do you without having a sponsor.
First, you make an illogical statement, suggesting that social services somehow equates demographics (it doesn't) and then don't do anything to show how Russia and China have better social services. Even if they did (they don't), it wouldn't make a demographic argument.
Your first linked study is odd. It suggests that almost 70% of women and almost 60% of men will have post-secondary degrees by 2070. Even if that was realistic (it isn't), what jobs do you think these Chinese people are going to have? They would have to abandon their current economy and adopt an entirely new economy. That means someone else would have to become the world's factory. The Chinese would be too busy in other jobs. Some things scale easily. If you want to build more engines, you can ramp-up production and quickly increase the supply of engines. If you want more professors of mathematics, that takes a generation. The people have to be born, educated, and then

If you want to build more engines, you can ramp-up production and quickly increase the supply of engines. If you want more professors of mathematics, that takes a generation. The people have to be born, educated, and then employed. It doesn't happen at once. The rate of growth is necessarily slow. Sure, you could get post-grad garbage degrees that require very little cognitive skill, but that's not what your article is suggesting.
Second, See also here.
Your video on demographics is misleading because it looks at population growth rate. We already know China's future growth is well below what's needed because their birth rates are much, much lower. Population growth is a lagging indicator as China's "Great Leap" decimated China's population and therefore their population is missing many people who were born before 1962. These people born after the "great leap" are just now hitting retirement age. They will be dead in the next 20 years, give or take. This is why the author does not extrapolate data as it is projected into the future.
Your youtube guy also suggests that immigrants are a problem to the US. They aren't. I am friends with a LOT of immigrants. Their children are just the same as mine. One of my friends told me she was sad because her daughter cries in English. To her that was an emotional disconnect. People used to say the same of Irish and Italian Catholics, that it'll break the US. They were wrong. Both integrated very well. Hispanics integrate well. Asians integrate well.
Speaking of immigration, you still haven't replied to why nobody is immigrating to China and the US is very popular to immigrate to. It was a big part of your youtube guy's argument. But nobody on your side wants to tell us why immigrants want to go to the US but do not want to go to China.
