Mao Zedong was a dictator, Deng Xiaoping was a dictator, Zhu De was a dictator, Jiang Quing was a dictator, the guy running the CPC office was a dictator, so was the janitor.
At least 6 million people in Beijing were dictators, all at the same time.
I remember when they were building giant fighting robots in that space, now it’s just going to be a boring ass office park that contributes nothing but traffic and a couple franchise office lunch slop places that fail every 8 months.
Dogshit propaganda, it was Murdoch-ified along with all other traditional media.
It was propaganda before, but at least tried to be realistic.
Nobody starving under Mao means I can sell them tractors to make that a reality.
I can’t sell anyone anything for a fabricated culture war.
It’s pretty clear what a magazine called “the economist” should focus on.
only one of these things is relevant to the expansion of international commerce, the other is a distraction for idiots
it’s easy to forget that the economist, and even the wsj, being dogshit propaganda is a post-9/11 phenomenon.
development implies market expansion, and there were once enough of the smaller bourgeoisie that were hungry for it.
which is the one that got bonked in the head & immediately started making out with the guy next to him?
kids these days just don’t understand how something that would take 3 clicks in a daw was once a challenging form of art
Also: at no point did any of these ai agents decouple themselves from the payment system that permits their existence.
They were doing exactly what they were supposed to be doing.
There was a translation that came out last year that appears to have been disappeared from all the usual stores, along with another compilation of his work that I stupidly put off on ordering:
Side story: when Elvira saw Khashoggi’s hog & he then tried to recruit her with Chandraswami:
Was Epstein more than just a “financial bounty hunter” for Khashoggi in the mid 1980s?
In the QTed email, Epstein tells Bannon he was “with (Ziarean dictator) Mobutu” in the mid-80s; in the latter part of 1985, Mobutu joined Khashoggi’s traveling entourage. Coincidence? I’m thinking probably not.
Mobutu and Khashoggi shared a Hindi-speaking Tantrik guru named Chandraswami who was also a Contras money conduit. This guy ministered to a host of other Contragate & Safari Club slush fund figures: the Sultan of Brunei, Tiny Rowland, Hosni Mubarak (VP for Sadat during Egypt’s Safari Club membership), Margaret Thatcher, met Manucher Ghorbanifar, etc. Chandraswami apparently was also involved in the Canadian “extortion attempt” of the CIA in ‘86 to try & recoup some Contragate monies for investors Miller & Fraser, who had also sunk cost into Khashoggi’s Triad American Corp. holding company, a gambit that AK honestly probably gamed out to try and buttress his expense-heavy confidence empire.
Elvira has some funny related story in her bio about how this same swami tried to recruit her & John Paragon, but they got weirded out and left
