    Must be nice to live in a country where people are actually put to work instead of your choice of unemployment or two minimum wage jobs (and even then good luck getting an interview) because porky is way too picky to hire anymore.

      Summary:

      The West Is Falling because our green energy is made by Chinese producers and because said green energy is weaker than fossil fuels because it’s too woke

      Carbon emissions are still bad when the reds do it though cause they’re caring more about supplanting the international-community-1 Free World international-community-2 than about the environment because they still have coal power plants

      The enemy is both woke and unwoke etc

    skimming this it looks like all of the deindustrialization he describes is due to profit-maximizing decisions, which he then pretends were made for environmental reasons

    His main point isn’t even true, China is installing more electric arc furnaces every year. As of January 2024, China has installed 151 million metric tons per year of operating EAF capacity, exceeding the 143 MMt/y needed to achieve the 15% EAF production target by 2025.

    British steel, for comparison, has an operating (blast furnace) capacity of 5.9 MMt/year. Yet its going to take until 2032 for them to convert 4% of what China can do in a year? LMAO

    So yes, they are winning in every imaginable way xi-lib-tears

    By the time the west has gone through its collapse phase, and begun to try something new socially and economically, it’s going to be so far be behind.

    Even from a purely nationalist chauvinist angle, neoliberalism has been an unmitigated disaster.

      Tons of CO2 particles that could have joined their friends and families in Earth’s upper atmosphere but now aren’t going to because the Chinese are genociding them with their “clean” (read “pure”, obviously a dogwhistle for gas supremacy) technologies.

    screenshot of a comment under the article, reads "Time for Western countries to shut down and defund not the police departments but Universities which gave up producing valid science, intellectuals. The Root cause are crackpot socialists and corporate commies."

    seeing China’s W’s, maybe we need more corporate commies
