The american yoke, meaning vaccine distribution and a dramatic reduction in HIV/AIDS and poverty

a revolution in america would accelerate the american empire's ongoing collapse, liberating almost the entire global south from the american yoke.

Thats a hilarious statement, considering China's ambitions and current actions in their sphere of influence, including Africa.

America alone being a pile of rubble would only lend relative strength to the nations that have claimed to be our enemies, namely Russia and China, neither of which have been shown to have any more interest than the united states in human rights, whatever those are.

Indeed - in this global system, the USA is on the side of GOOD relative to the competing powers. Exploitive neo-colonial influences abroad are very unfortunate and my least favorite thing, but these are not exclusively perpetrated by the United States, and in fact are mostly perpetrated by global corporate actors who's money and power now transcends the influence of any single Nation State.

word. PEPFAR is an example of what the Trips waiver should be, because their isn't sufficient pharmaceutical manufacturing anywhere else on this planet.

We're gonna save the world, again or for a third time? I've lost count. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Show me the better good guys here? Russia? China? No other options.

The remaining countries may be viewed as victims. Show me a better victimizer, or a way to get rid of the lot of them and replace with something better.

He just wants to kill people in a communist uprising bud. He isn’t making an argument in good faith

This is a bigger problem than people realize, and it links back to China. First year in the Physics PhD program (top-10 R1 school), 10/15 were Chinese. 11/15 of us passed qualifying exams and got to finish the PhD, and I think 3/11 are on wall street, probably running some NS or BS equations to optimize some 3rd decimal place. The biggest problem in physics; too many of the bright theorists pursue string theory, although the siphoning of talented minds to wall street is a problem as well.

Although I find the normal communist nonsense tired and boring, one sane point the anti-capitalists make is that the majority of the financial services industry is just wasted energy (much like bitcoin mining). Of course, good capitalists make this same point. Wall street is principally middle men siphoning off money from people who produce something of value... can literally replace all advisors with broad market index funds and the world would be fine. The only knowledgeable people who say otherwise have skin in the game.

And anyone creative got shut out of physics degree because of college math weed out process to only bring psychopaths into the fold (all sciences) so we they can work on population ending viruses and stuff with no moral qualms.

I understand what you are trying to say, but disagree. Creativity is the unifying trait amongst physicists. It takes substantial imagination to understand the way things are.

If a mathematically challenged student is not creative or tenacious enough to formulate good study habits to master calculus, they are not worthy of the keys to unlocking mother nature's gates of knowledge. The "weed out process" is the only thing between you and collapsed bridges. It should be embraced.

The Blood War was an ancient conflict that raged between the fiends of the Lower planes.
