Do you want me to tell you what wokeness is in a way that will suddenly illuminate the whole phenomenon like a lightening in the darkest night?
Think of the metaverse. The oasis, for example, in Ready Player One. Wokeness is a far left metaverse. First you have the intricate programming that builds a social justice utopia in the metaverse, but it’s all a virtual world of course.
Within the metaverse social justice is the only game. Rewards and punishments are met accordingly. You can be cancelled (life lost), as you can accumulate points and a high score (top scorer!)
But of course there is still the real world. There nothing happens. Remember the stacks in Ready Player One? Same for social justice in reality. School districts or hiring practices are left untouched. Large corporates sponsor the social justice metaverse

Turns out that Indian officials are quite unhappy about Aukus. Can’t say I’m surprised
thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/…
“If Australia and the U.S. could deceive France, a North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) partner, they ask, what is to prevent them from doing the same with lesser allies?”
“Washington’s willingness to help Canberra build SSNs raises the possibility that Australia could deploy nuclear submarines in the Eastern Indian Ocean well before India positions its own.”

Not sure what is being suggested. Trump should not be allowed to run? That would be the end of American democracy, no?
Is the danger :
1. Trump will win fair and square?
2. Result will be overturned in legislatures?
3. Trump defeat will be met with widespread violence?
Whole thing is difficult to understand because 1. is fully compatible with democracy and the Biden administration is fully responsible for preventing 2. and 3.

Biden said: “I think what they're going to do is bring in the press. The Indian press is much better behaved than the American press. And I think, with your permission, we should not answer questions because they won't ask any questions on point”.

Indian media reported on these remarks while US media did not, so maybe the US media is better behaved after all?

This is serious. Suicide attacker that killed those Marines in Kabul had been freed from Bagram days before firstpost.com/india/kabul-ai…
Essentially freed by the US when it left Bagram
I had been wondering why we never found out who he was

Shocking. Not only the act but also the cover up. Many top officials on record saying terrorists had been eliminated
“No disciplinary action” is a slap in the face of global public opinion
Kirby and Milley spoke on camera on how they had seen secondary explosions. The initial statement from the Pentagon said “multiple” terrorists had been killed. The initial statement said no civilians had been killed!

I think one could make the case China is today a threat to the US while Russia is not because the US never won the Cold War in Asia. Lost in Vietnam which is today ruled by a communist party
Also the destruction of Vietnam removed a limit on Chinese power and made China’s rise easier from 1975 to 2000. So Vietnam defeat is a large part of the reason US is today under pressure from China
Something Mao understood well: that America’s defeat in Vietnam was critical to China’s rise over 50 years. Vietnamese political and economic weakness out of the war was a bonus
