Maybe they mean 喧宾夺主

Sorry, that’s the gist of the thing I remember and not the detailed similarities. Maybe I’ll ask chatgpt some day

Someone named him the Richard Nixon of China and that has stuck with me

Checks out

It’s not a good idea to play this as a zero sum game and harm other countries’ climate efforts. At least they are slowly moving towards the paying side iirc from COP29 results

Slavery still exists in multiple different forms tho

And let’s not forget Russia’s support from that batch. This war is just another money scheme

That seems to be the modus operandi, they’re also collaborating with the far right in Hungary and Finland

Probably selling Ukraine to Putin

If one considers the ‘die with zero’ idea, the goals become more achievable

Vaporizing and edibles are more good than bad. Pretty much harmless in moderation. Just have your life in order first and use it to add that extra spice of awareness, instead of relying on it.

Yup, many auth/fash/totalitarian/oligarchies/etc hold elections which don’t matter

I know, no need to worry. My comment didn’t portray Bernie as some anticapitalist Jesus who can single-handedly force a revolution if that needed clarification

It’s an interesting ending to an otherwise fine comment. Bernie would slide the US towards liberal democracy, further from fascism

Always the same map

Brilliant

Wow haven’t seen claims Russia would surrender, sounds like a far cry

It was “Ukraine is on the verge of losing each second but a few weapons can keep their head above water until a peace is negotiated”

Though the weapons have been sent with the premise that Ukraine has been losing

It’s definitely fishy with sabotaging all around from different directions with all of the negotiation attemps
