He's from Chicago, so he's more of a pie pope

Yeah, seems like a bad case of "I hate my parents" that turned into "I really fucking hate my parents" and they accidentally ended up with confused politics.

I knew him as one of the Astronaut twins and had no idea he was a politician. Him and his brother were the ones chosen for the Twins Study which was kinda neat. Scott stayed in space for a year and they had them on the same diet and exercise routine to see what the effects of long term exposure to zero G would be.

There's a reason WW1 resulted in global revolution and ended with the counter revolution that was WW2 and the "Cold War"

Yeah, seems like a lot of absents. They usually show those though, wonder why they didn't this time...

If you watch the video, the pilot is actually just giggling and impressed with the fighter pilot. The reporter is panicking and asking if this is an "aggressive intercept"

but it goes no further than supporting gay/trans rights within the imperial core

Even that's a bit of a stretch considering we defederated with blahaj because their 196 instance was full of chasers and transphopes

It'll trickle down!

But it's fair. China is still experiencing massive growth so the inequality is somewhat less noticable than it would be if that growth had stagnated and the inequality continued to rise.

As China's growth slows, dealing with this is going to be the next big crisis that China will have to go through. All the western nations dealt with that crisis in the late 70's and early 80's. Their solution was austerity and neoliberalosm, the gutting of working class rights and consumption of moderately developed socialist states caught up in the crisis.

The CPC is aware of this though. So is America. That's why there's a war footing right now. As China continues into crisis (a crisis that will effect the whole world), America postures to consume whatever nations it can and China is prepared to defend itself and other nations that America is ready to go for.

If income inequality continues after that crisis, it'll be because America won.

POTUS -> TUSP (The United States President)

CIA -> CAI (Central Agency of Intelligence)

FBI -> BFI (Bureau of Federal Investigation)

It's fun to just change around acronyms for official governing bodies. I'm gonna go edit Wikipedia to include these as common abbreviations too
