POLITICO just published a hilarious anti-China tract, and I recommend people to seriously put some effort into 1) reading it, 2) contextualizing it.

Anyone discussing China and playing down the "White Supremacy" angle is leading you astray.
DC Lanyards are completely shook.

Kennan's 1948 memo is an exceptionally revealing white supremacy manifesto, that very clearly defines that the threat is *Communism*, not some vague gushy non-ideological realpolitik battle for resources.

Why does Xi Jinping bother these lanyards so much? Why are they losing their minds about him specifically? Why not an ounce of credit from our press?
Because Xi Jinping competent, powerful, and completely beyond the reach of their bribes.

I'm hesitant to say "first as tragedy then as farce" because it elevates Kennan a bit, and I don't think he deserves any credit, but at the same time, the pure shit that China Watchers are coming out with these days is profoundly uninspired.
Author's delusional.
When Kissinger, Kennan, and Brzezinski were sketching out their genocidal plans for American dominance, the US was at its absolute strongest.
Now it's ravaged by plague, managing an illusory economy. The "US State" is a bunch of cops guarding a McMansion.

A lot of people DM me expressing that they feel inadequate. They have credentialed friends and don't know how to counter them.
Read documents like this one to realize that the emperor isn't wearing *any clothes at all*.
*Anyone* can produce better political analysis than this.

The author is trying so hard to ape a solemn style, salivating at the prospect of one day revealing himself to be behind this history-altering memo... yet insists on CCP over CPC.
It's as if Kennan et al insisted on misspelling Stalin's name to get a petty own in there.

I don't know.
I think there's something amusing about the fact that the US is so hollowed out by brain-drain towards vulture finance and do-nothing tech, so hubristic and drunk off of its own propaganda, that these dregs are all that is left behind to do "intelligence" work.

In conclusion:
- George Kennan was basically a Nazi.
- Modern "polisci gurus" are caricatures of Kennan, but more disconnected from reality.
- Pretending this conflict is "non-ideological" and has nothing to do with Marxism-Leninism is foolish even if you're not US-aligned.
