BRICS will probably accelerate when Trump comes to power and fucks up US foreign policy even more lol

Indonesia seems want to become China's pet really bad

[-] davel@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 weeks ago

Are you sad that Indonesia doesn’t want to become the United States’ pet?

[-] TheFrirish@jlai.lu 5 points 3 weeks ago

Are you happy Indonesia is becoming China's pet?

I’m happy when any state chooses China as a partner over the imperial hegemon.

“Forward-defense ring,” a perfectly normal turn of phrase and not at all Orwellian Newspeak.

Dude at least the US used to be a democratic country. China is a repressive dictatorship. Try to mention Tienanmen square anywhere

The US has never been and will never be a democracy, because it was born of a bourgeois revolution[1]. The wealthy, white, male, land-owning, largely slave-owning Founding Fathers constructed a bourgeois state with “checks and balances” against the “tyranny of the majority”. It was never meant to represent the majority—the working class—and it never has, despite eventually allowing women and non-whites (at least those not disenfranchised by the carceral system) to vote.[Princeton & Northwestern] Study: US is an oligarchy, not a democracy

China, in contrast, practices democratic centralism. And its no wonder that the Chinese people are very satisfied with their government, because their quality of life has been improving over the last few generations[2], while ours has been dropping over the last ~40 years of grinding neoliberalism.

Your understanding of China comes exclusively from the imperial core propaganda you & I have been exposed to our entire lives. You’ll never understand it in any other way unless you investigate outside of the bubble we live in.

Try to mention Tienanmen square anywhere

You can in fact mention Tienanmen square in China. The idea that you can’t comes to you from Western propaganda.

Probably, he part of lemmy.ml and the profile is filled with propaganda posts

[-] davel@lemmy.ml 0 points 3 weeks ago

Yours is also full of “propaganda”, for the imperial core.

[-] Cyberjin@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago

Dude, just look what you posted a few mins ago or check your comments history. It same shit over and over again

[-] Crafter72@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

As Indonesian, this is just our "Bebas dan Aktif" foreign policy that can be traced back to the first President and for some reason that also starting point of the Non-Aligned Movement forum.

Nothing special here as we also maintain good relationship with Russia and US. Yes perhaps this may confuse some westerner but the country managed to do so.

Also known as "playing both sides". Sides who are on track to become atomic vapor. I suggest you invest heavily in solar powered nitrogen fixation using the Haber-Bosch process,

They are apparently tired of siding with the coming losers of history.
