Let’s suppose, for a minute, that DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) is coming to the NBA. What would it look like?
Permit me to fantasize a bit to answer the question above. I’m a far left-wing, socialist kook, a multi-gazillionaire who got that way because of free market capitalism. But I believe everybody ought to be equal, except not equal to me, of course, so socialism is the answer for the world. Regardless, I am firmly committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. That is my religion. I believe it, and since I’ve bought the most powerful government in the world, I’m going to make you believe it, too. If you don’t like it, go buy yourself your own government.
But it does get a little bit boring being a puppet master to degenerate, demented, decadent octogenarian politicians, so I decided to branch out. I intend to buy an NBA team. I’m going to locate it in Thailand, and I will name my team the Thailand Ladyboys. DEI, you know. And, because I am totally committed to DEI, that is exactly what my team will be composed of (Ladyboys, etc.). So, since inclusiveness is essential, and I need 12 players on my team, here is who will be on it: two ladyboys, one CCP member, one transgender man (other than ladyboys), a black woman, a white woman, a Hispanic woman, a five-year-old mutilated child, one black man, a migrant (who is illegally in America, of course), an anti-Catholic drag queen nun from California, and a non-binary homeless person of indistinguishable composition. No white men, you say? Well, I’ve got that covered. I will hire Pete Buttigieg as my coach. He knows as much about basketball as he does about transportation. So, we will have the most diverse, equitable, inclusive roster in...

I’m not so sure. China is a massive broze giant, but with feet of clay. They’re not nearly as monolithic as they seem. Corruption is rife, leadership is sycophantic and their army, while huge has not seen combat in nearly 50 years.

Awesome!!
5 years ago I would have said a showdown with China was inevitable and that we very well could lose thanks to open borders and the millions of chinese spies aka “immigrants and H1Bs” sprinkled throughout the country.
But, demographics are destiny and china has a serious problem on their hands with a rapidly aging population.
India now appears to be the country of the future and htey are busy offloading their excess population onto the world’s dumping ground, America. Thanks to open borders insanity, brought to you by LBJ the murderer and his buddy Ted Kennedy, America will no longer be majority Christian in the near future. A Christian nation that willing allowed itself to be “diversified” and a Christian people who willingly allowed their great grandchildren to have their souls placed in grave danger as they try to navigate a world where foreign religions are considered “normal”. Truly sick what open borders insanity and the religion of “diversity” have done to destroy this nation.
Why We Will Lose to China
—
because the media and many people believed the multi-billion dollar propaganda campaign when the opposite is true - truth that the CCP is going to extreme lengths to keep hidden.
Of course, everyone will be equal in their outcomes. Success breeds racism, bigoty, misogyny, etc.
To do this, everyone needs to be absolutely poor and deprived any freedom.
Freedom creates independent thought and actions, which may lead to success, which cannot be allowed.
Biden increases the price of oil. Russia can now afford.to invade Ukraine. Biden expands NATO resources helping Ukraine. Russia uses resources invading Ukraine. The Chinese watch happily as its two potential rivals use up resources against each other. They are getting their money’s worth from Biden.
Took me awhile to find it again - but not too bad - about 10 minutes
The simple answer is in one word:
Patience.
If you want to know what China will do, study Sun Tzu.
They won’t attack Taiwan. They will *use* potential conflict over Taiwan to constantly test our military and political capabilities and potential reactions, but it would be stupid (by their paradigm) to attack; even if they win, they ‘win’ a wasted burnt-up wreck.
Far better to follow old Sun Tzu: take another 25-50, even 100 years, carefully subvert and take over peacefully, and let the fully ripe fruit fall into their hands, infrastructure intact.
China has one massive, and unchangeable advantage over us: they can make plans with a time frame of decades. Sure they might have to make some minor modifications, but to the Chinese 50 years is nothing, to America, only military programs (and then only rarely) can be planned out more than two electoral cycles in advance.
We would lose to China because Trump isn’t in the White House, the central wokeist government is larded with America haters.
Yes, and no.
India is going to develop but there are internal problems in that nation that make it unlikely it will ever grow at any pace close to what China did (economically). The “China” experience is possibly going to implode but the politics of India make the same centrally controlled and manipulated bubble unlikely. Communism always rots. Always. Bubbles always pop..... we will see this in China and will see it in the US because someone always has to pay the debt.
India also faces a serious problem with immigration because it drains their skilled workers and educated citizens far more than their “working class” or excess unskilled labor. It’s hard to build a first world economy when you lose so many of your best and brightest. The caste system in India is another major hurdle that few in the West understand.
If I needed a factory right now (from the West) I would certainly look to India, but I cannot fathom how the story of India will look anything like the China of the last 50 years.
The impatience of President Xi has taken China off their long-term plans. They grew too fast and now they face a debt bubble that is even larger than ours and (for the time being) we have the luxury of printing more money as the world reserve currency. They don’t.
Presently, China is in serious turmoil. China is in transistion from relative freedom and prosperity to a new China Socialism that is industrial information age communism. It is a hard transistion
The realestate industry is destroyed. Along with it are the construction industry on the jobsites and all the material vendors.
The banking system is floundering and may actually have failed.
Unemployment is uncountable.
Local and regional governments are or are near insolvency. Today it is reported that one locality of tens of millions of people has ceased paying pensions. It simply doesn’t have the money.
Industry is leaving and failing. Foxconn announced it was leaving. Samsung left a year or so ago. The multinationals have or are leaving.
This years college grads got no jobs. Only 13% og grads got jobs.
Chairman Xi is killing private businesses and people rich and not so rich are escaping the opression by leaving. New businesses must have a direct CCP ownerhip and control component.
Jack Ma and Alibaba the very largest and prosperous corporation right down to entrepreneurs with street carts are being done in. The CCP is attempting to control all
It is not going to be over soon. America has no reason to worry so long as the internal turmoil is in process
Sounds like a war would solve all their problems.
We will lose because white people simply will refuse to kill or die for pedophile democrats.
We’re going to have our own “surplus population” issue.
The elites have planned a world war to take care of this problem.
As Sun Tzu says in The Art of War, the ultimate goal is to win a war without actually fighting (on the battlefield). Xi has already done that by getting Joe to wave the white flag (the rainbow flag in this case).
That said, all is not yet lost but it soon will be if the Deep State and the Democrats prevent the Republicans from reclaiming the White House in 2024. And the Democrats will use every weapon at their disposal to destroy ANY significant competition to their candidates.
Anyone who believes the upcoming election is about politics as usual is insane...or they are already aligned with China.
China can release a bio warfare agent on the world with zero repercussions. That’s why they will win.
