How To Understand All This China Stuff

"To understand what’s going on with China and why the 'news' media keep punching you in the face with stories about how awful it is, you really only need to grasp two basic points:"
medium.com/@caityjohnston…
China is in the news constantly now, and it’s not because of any virus, or any of the other scattershot, unrelated hodgepodge of excuses you’re being fed as to why the Chinese government must be regarded as the latest Actual Hitler all of a sudden.

It's because of imperialism.
You can understand what this is all really about by getting 2 things:
1. We are in the middle of a slow-motion third world war between the US-centralized power alliance and the nations which have resisted being absorbed into it.
2. Propaganda is used to move this world war along.

You've probably heard it said that you'll never find love if you don't love yourself, but have you ever thought about why it's true?
It's true because if you don't love yourself, someone loving you instantly puts you at odds with them. You can't build on that kind of foundation. Image
For love to work, you have to love yourself, and you also have to commit to loving yourself more and more. Your lover will always be finding new parts of you to love, many of them parts you dislike, so you've got to learn to love those parts too to avoid shutting them out.
This is the main reason why women go for 'bad boys' and fall prey to negging. If you don't love yourself and someone falls for you, then they appear pathetic because they fell in love with you, so wow. Yuck. You know you're disgusting so they must be disgusting to fall for you.

1. We are in the middle of a slow-motion third world war between the US power alliance and the remaining nations which have resisted its aggressive attempts to absorb them.
2. Propaganda is used to move this world war along.
3. Points 1 and 2 explain current anti-China sentiment.
I'd like to see unabsorbed nations remain unabsorbed and absorbed nations regain their sovereignty, and for the US to begin acting like a normal nation.

Those Eyes

Those eyes without dragons in them,
without rebellions in them,
without orgies in them,
without mushrooms in them.

Those eyes which move by habit,
which see by habit,
which unsee by habit.
medium.com/@caityjohnston…
Those eyes which go dead
while tongues gibber in the skull.

Those eyes which miss miracles and ignore armageddons
to watch adverts and wawawa drama queens.

Those eyes which say "I've seen that before"
to unprecedented moments and phoenix worlds.
Those eyes which say "I know what that is"
to ineffable eruptions from unknown angels.

Those eyes,

those eyes,

those eyes,

those eyes,

those eyes do not live in your face anymore.
