COPIUM - A Thread: I think what Covid demonstrated is that most of the English-language pundit class is not only useless but counterproductive. In Jan/Feb (2020) it was "Reeeeee Chernobyl!" In Mar/Apr it was "it is vital to call this the Wuhan virus"
while actual debate around tests/masks etc., was conducted by noobs like Noah Smith. In May to Nov (2020) it was prolonged tussling over how this would affect the election. From Nov onwards it's been "Reeeeee vaccines! America is awesome!"
Punctuated by Tyler Cowen's article saying that America is resilient because it endured 500k deaths without mass riots!

cnbc.com/2021/03/23/int… ASML having a monopoly upstream really hurt Intel's business model
if you look at this, Intel started slipping vs its internal schedule and vs its competitors as Canon/Nikon exited the lithography/tooling race
this was because TSMC and Samsung were happy to co-develop each new generation of tooling with ASML, AMAT, LRCX etc while Intel generally hoarded process knowledge to itself

1/ The problem with even less toxic faux-progressives like Tobita is that their takes are devoid of geopolitical context.

AOC speaks up about Tibet because Tibet is a salient issue to India, and a Dem POTUS is pushing a diplomatic initiative with India, Japan, and Australia.
2/ Tobita then draws a strawman as to why people are criticizing AOC. At least for me, I don't find her views on Tibet ipso facto problematic - I dislike her use of human rights in a way that benefits American geopolitical objectives, like she did with Venezuela.
3/ This, again, also extends to why I find the Tobita, Promise Li, Wilfred, and the rest of the "Lausan Left" so troublesome, because they have shown at most lip service tut-tutting to how their progressive ideals are used for decidedly unprogressive ends

Got some pushback on this so let me elaborate
All extended air campaigns boil down to degrading opfor c4isr and airbases while keeping your facilities intact, while maintaining acceptable loss ratios
A max effort USN USAF campaign on short notice vs China can plausibly generate 4000 to 5000 sorties across a week without additional replenishment. 1200 each from two carriers, with the remainder from INDOPACOM land based aircraft

As I've said again and again, US nuclear capabilities are increasingly critical to credibly denying China air superiority over the TW straits. That the US people are unaware of this is profoundly disturbing
BTW, this is why I find the pro-TW faux-progressives in Critical China Scholars so infuriating. They willfully ignore how their identity politics provide cover for an arms race leading to a possibly nuclear conflict. At least US conservatives are upfront about nuking China
If you're a "progressive" or "leftist" who believes constructing separatist identities on an island claimed by one nuclear superpower and under the security umbrella of another nuclear superpower is a good thing, you should check yourself into the nearest mental health facility.
