Investing in education is the mark of a rising nation. Imposing lifelong debt for it is the mark of a falling one.
They're just flexing on us at this point, aren't they?
They don't need to. What they've done with high speed rail in 15 years makes me want to cry. They built an entire national HSR network since the great recession. America is such a fallen empire.
That's the power of Socialism at play, when Humanity flips the power of Capital over Humanity on its head and becomes the master of Capital, it can achieve great things. Massive infrastructure projects and rapid development are just one aspect of this process, and the US would do well to follow in the footsteps of the Socialist countries to produce along a common plan. The obstacle, of course, is revolution, but rather than being impossible or easy, the truth is that revolution is just hard work.
So tempted to go to beijing for my PhD
Why not go, It would be an experience but I imagine you would need to speak Chinese.
My main concern with going would be that I can't keep my mouth shut about politics... And I don't fancy getting in trouble abroad
I understand, I wish you well either way 🙏
Thank you, you too!
I would have to convince my partner
US is screwed. 4 years getting wrecked by Trump is best case scenario at this point, but if he has his way it'll all be fixed up so people don't have to vote anymore and then the country is really doomed.
Weird that I would feel safer with China as the superpower instead of a Trump America.
Meanwhile, the liberals are screeching unintelligibly about… tankies?
I take increasing amounts of pleasure in watching reality take a shit on liberal faces every single time.
