Everyone gather round and take a close look at this specimen. Here is something very peculiar I’ve seen with the loudest ML users. They usually have a well rehearsed auth-left script with plausible talking points, but when it gets off script they show specific capitalist-coded rhetoric.

In real life, I’ve never met anyone on the left/far left who would use unemployment (especially under a capitalist-fascist hegemony) as a pejorative. The casting of unemployment as a personal failing and character flaw is a deeply capitalist narrative. The USSR, which they profess to support, widely publicized employment as a fundamental human right. It was in their Constitution!

So we have to consider: is this user dumb enough to think that furthering pro-capitalist fiction is praxis? Or are they not leftist at all, perhaps a false-flag agitant?

Would be pretty straight forward if you’re just looking at the agreements as signed. Turkey getting attacked has the option to call up NATO and this pact. Pakistan could call up Turkey but NATO would have no obligation to help. Pakistan attacking a NATO member would be the only real conflict, though these pacts are supposed to be defensive only to mitigate that.

To learn more about the specifics, I’d recommend spending 500 hours playing Crusader Kings, Hearts of Iron or equivalent Paradox games.

Ah yes, the evil liberal-capitalist climate solutions: shilling solar panels, agriculture tech, electrification, more efficient production of cement and steel

Nothing like the glorious socialist solutions of the proletariat: Chinese solar panels, Chinese agriculture tech, Chinese electrification, more efficient production of Chinese cement and steel

Turns out that every productivist ideology imagines their band-aid efficiency gains will hand wave what is essentially a growth and finite resource problem. So yeah I agree with you on some level, the free market won’t magically save us any more than an AES state market. You’re just mad because you’re hearing it from a video sponsored by the bad team

Ah yes capitalist propoganda like …scrolls most popular… Countering coronavirus disinformation, explaining vaccines and the dangers of the antivax movement, the physical limits disproving the infinite growth lie of capitalism… Yeah, there’s a lot of science fiction/fantasy topics but those are generally what gets views.

If they are pushing propoganda, they’re pretty shit at it and should probably be spending their money on manosphere podcasts instead. Honestly you should be encouraging such inefficient efforts.

This is such a stellar example of the cold war tankie mindset. Anything a capitalist funds must be evil; anything from the west is a lie; it’s my duty to counter everything coming out of their mouths; blah blah blah.
