Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
I can only assume the miracles he's working are his ability to convince about 30-40% of the voting age population in the US that he's not a complete piece of shit, despite the fact that he's a convicted rapist, a coward, and very possibly a paedophile.
the title refers ironically to Trump's wild tariff pronouncements bringing India, a putative western ally, to repair relations with China. Modi also recently announced he will be making his first visit to China in seven years, which is where the "continues" probably comes from (EDIT: it could also be a reference to the recent trilateral talks between China Korea and Japan, or other similar developments).
if you aren't an anti-imperialist then joking references to "JDPON Don" or "Comrade Nation Builder" will not make that much sense to you
Right, yeah okay that went right the fuck over my head - Appreciate the explainer!
Also yeah screw imperialism in all of it's forms, you're speaking to a Welsh nationalist.
they meant extremely online anti-imperialist, which is us here at Hexbear! people around here are always happy to explain all sorts of shit with walls of text if you ask! we have a bit of a reputation from people who come in JAQing off (meaning asking bad faith questions, basically negging in debate form) which we always spot right away and we don't play along. but when normal people just ask like "hey I don't understand that can you explain?" everyone's an effort poster
I know nothing about what has been done to the welsh, but I assume this means fuck the british?
It's less 'Fuck the British' and slightly more 'Fuck the English government' but also not really that either.
They came to Wales, robbed us of our language (As best they could - Check the Welsh Not if you're interested), robbed us of our resources, and now they give us scraps from a table that was never built for us, as we're shackled to the bloated corpse of a long dead empire.
We want out.
