Why China Isn’t Scared of Trump: U.S.-Chinese Tensions May Rise, but His Isolationism Will Help Beijing
U.S.-Chinese tensions may rise, but Washington’s isolationism will help Beijing.Yan Xuetong (Foreign Affairs Magazine)
Trump's protectionist policies and belligerent stance towards the vassals is likely to result in a further geopolitical shift towards China as countries hedge their bets.

Today in Labor History December 21, 1925: Serge Eisenstein's silent movie The Battleship Potemkin premiered on this date in Moscow. This silent film, which inspired many later film greats, depicts the 1905 mutiny of sailors against their Czarist commanders during the Russo-Japanese war. The massacre on the Odessa steps scene was so iconic that dozens of later films paid homage to it, including Terry Gilliam’s “Brazil,” Brian De Palma’s “The Untouchables,” Peter Sellers’s “The Magic Christian,” Woody Allen’s “Bananas.” The film also influenced artist Francis Bacon. San Francisco’s avant-garde Club Foot Orchestra recreated the original score. Orson Welles, Charlie Chaplin and Billy Wilder all considered it one of the greatest films ever made.

Serge Eisenstein's silent movie *The Battleship Potemkin* is bullshit. The sailors didn't rebel at a command from Bolshie HQ. They were anarchists. They didn't take orders from Bolsheviks. They rebelled on their own volition. The Okhrana called anarchism the "navy disease" because it was so popular among sailors.
Aside from that, legend has it that Lenin was once sitting on a Swiss cafe at a table next to one occupied by exiled survivors of the mutiny. He overheard them talking about what they wanted, and subsequently plagiarized a famous slogan based on their conversation: "Peace, bread, and land". I heard this story f2f from an old anarchist. I haven't been able to discover a printed version of the story, so it may be just a legend. Anyone out there who can reliably verify or debunk it, please do.
That the film itself is bullshit is no legend. It's the verified truth of the matter.
According to DMK, a person killed near the court is not their concern. That's how intelligent they are 😂😂😂

This is so much better than dual-booting.
- Windows 11 running in KVM
- Dedicated 2nd graphics card (cheap 1030)
- ParsecVDA virtual display adapter, always on and passing video
- Looking Glass for live-speed video
- Creative Cloud and Lightroom working as though native
- MacOS Catalina in a VM on the side just for fun
- Upgraded to 64GB of RAM to make all this work.
I won't be gaming on it, but it runs Lightroom just fine, which was my last holdout application I couldn't live without.
After a quick check of my backups I can wipe my dual-boot Windows drive completely, finally!

Today in Labor History December 21, 1919: U.S. immigration deported anarchists Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman to Russia. The authorities deported, arrested and killed hundreds of anarchists, communists, labor leaders and radicals during the Palmer Raids (also known as the First Red Scare). It virtually destroyed the revolutionary union IWW.

Enjoy the holidays everybody! 
And feel free to enjoy my drastically improved shell commands for directory navigation;
dir-stack (C-h) to recall directories from the $HISTFILE, via a convenient chronological ordered list. codeberg.org/oxo/dotf/src/bran…
cd-child (C-j) to easily navigate sub directories. Press C-j again to drill deeper down into the directory stack.
Then there are cd-up (C-k) and cd-yazi (C-l). With the last command mentioned you can use yazi to navigate to a specific directory (there is also a lf variant available).
The commands are making use of fzf and can be get from: codeberg.org/oxo/dotf/src/bran…
I am currently planning to make a demo video on this command set. Publication will be announced shortly!

in reply to ☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆ • • •China is it the enviable position of not having to pretend that Trump is good for anything. He is a bad choice for a president, so why would anyone be afraid.
Edit: well, ok Ukraine and by extension Europe should be afraid or at least concerned. I would shit myself if I were a US citizen that is not a millionaire or wealthier tho.

in reply to Karyoplasma • • •Do not be alarmed. Democrats don't care about the working class, either.
It's why they would rather have 2 trump presidencies than 1 Bernie.
