Not a fan of image tweeting but he has me blocked so no other way.

Wilfredo here is the perfect example of what I call the CIA "left". Decades of the US government clandestine funding of an oppositional anti-Soviet left has turned Western leftism into a pronouned eunuch. It's a
farce all the way down. The retreat from materialism, empirical observation, practical solutions for contemptible hollow feel gooderism and representation. It's like volunteering to accept google good boy points in lieu of actual money. Jackson is actually 100% correct that the
native American polities are dead and buried and resurrecting them is neither feasible or desirable. I will go further and add that the r1b 1/16th white "natives" who represent indigenous movements in the West are a masquerade mainly to secure forms of patronage or sinecures for
themselves and actually are incapable of representing the surviving relict native peoples in any honest way.

Why Rightist internationalism is a joke, or the Ian Miles Cheong effect. The reality about Right wing international cooperation is that it flies against fundamental basic principles of conservatism. Rightists are at a fundamental level parochial traditionalists who guard their
patch of dirt and don't care for much else beyond that. Whether this attitude is positive or negative is debatable, but it is a very safe and stable point of view to be had. The only time it has effectively worked was I suppose the concert of Europe post Napoleon where everyone
agreed to mind their own damn business. This is a remarkable and pragmatic attitude to have, unfortunately the peace shattered by none other than perfidious Albion during the Crimean war. Unfortunately the idea to leave everything well enough alone is also guided by another

Necessity is the mother of all invention, or a brief history of currency in China. A common point of knowledge is China's early experiments with paper fiat currency but few actually know as to why. The most immediate answer was the lack of gold and especially silver coinage as a
medium of exchange. Gold and silver ingots were used as stores of value, but up until the Columbian exchange, copper cash was dominant for transactions. Copper while useful became increasingly cumbersome as values increased. As to why this was so, the answer is even simpler.
China just doesn't have any significant silver deposits. Even during the Han Dynasty, Chinese silver production was a tiny fraction of Roman counterparts. Some have argued this was because of superior Roman mining techniques but this isn't actually true because even during the

Honestly I have to admit I'm kind of appreciative the FLG crowd ran with the lab bioweapon release and it was Pompeo & Pottinger et al with the lab accident theory. The US media apparatus was bound to do it eventually but the first off the post were such idiots that they muddled
the entire offensive with absolute and easily identifiable shit and lies that it is harder for the NYT, Wapo, or other prestige media to tell a convincing tale because of it. The "evidence" put out by the state department after a year of gaming the propaganda effort has been
laughably bad. Some employees at the Wuhan lab may have come down with cold and flu like symptoms in 2019, thus lab accident. If that wasn't a stretch enough, if you've actually read the intelligence it was based on, it was satellite photos counting the number of cars but idiot

FYI Michael Kovrig and Spavor are almost certainly actually spies. Their arrest was certainly political retaliation, but that doesn't mean they were innocent. Generally once spooks are outed, they aren't immediately arrested but rather observed to try and identify contacts or
or even try to flip them as double agents. The biggest tell that they were spies is actually Canadian behavior. The Canadian press is non stop reporting on them and their "suffering" while the Canadian government is actually doing jack shit publicly to get a hem out. This kind of
contradictory behavior is emblematic of them having friends in the intelligence community constantly pushing them into the media limelight. Governments really don't actually give a shit if you are arrested in foreign countries for bullshit reasons. Certainly media would be bored

The fundamental truism is that there is no situation where US political involvement doesn't end up making things worse. A good analogy is like calling the cops and ending up with them showing up and shooting someone's pet dog. The generous excuse is that this is just plain old
beltway incompetence but the more cynical take is the the US, rather than being a net providet of security transitioned to a net producer of chaos. This is due to a principal agent mismatch where the people driving instability are the prime beneficiaries of it. The more unstable
the world is, the more relevant the DC security blob is, the more prominent American imperial managerialism is. DC does not want peace, it wants conflict so as to rationalize tightening it's grasp over it's vassals and more political interference everywhere. This is the reality

The fact that every crazy foreign agitation organization the US has been funding and finger puppeting for the past half century to subvert foreign governments managed to collectively converge on Washington is absolutely hilarious. Iranian Monarchists, Cuban and Venezuelan gusanos
Korean Moonies, Chinese FLG, RVN loyalists, and whatever minor group of crazies collecting sinecures from Arlington that no one has ever heard of all managed to represent themselves on January 6. Turns out that lieing down with dogs results in fleas. The prime lesson that no one
one in Washington will draw from this is that foreign imperialism always has a debilitating effect on domestic politics and it's people. What had been an high functioning ethnically homogeneous society mostly content to mind it's own business has through the temptation of power
