A) solar energy isn’t clean, and it’s the exact opposite of environmentally friendly; it’s just that current power sources are so much worse it looks good by comparison.

B) fusion cannot ever be profitable. The fuel for it is the most common on the planet, if not the universe, requires no special refining, and can’t be made artificially scarce. A post fusion world is a post energy industry world. It’s the practical end of what currently owns the US and other countries.

This has drastically reduced funding for it and has blocked advancement for decades. This project among others in China have no profit motive, they are trying to accomplish a goal without caring how they can become rich off it. If fusion energy is possible, it’ll be done in China.

It just took someone without a profit motive

The alternative reality you live in is fascinating.

China is already like that, just outside the West. Even in the West you’re not going to find a single person that doesn’t have a bit of Chinese goods and/or culture in their daily life.

You confused China with the UK. There are no such restrictions on chefs knives.

You have, you’re on a reddit clone. Reddit, especially r/politics is centrism defined, including the ever rightward shift it has taken that follows the natural path of centrism.

.world admins are based in the US and all infrastructure is based in the US, meaning sooner or later it will get the Tiktok treatment wherein either it’s shut down or has to promote and censor what the US govt wants. In the US, via meta, x, or Tiktok you can’t search the phrase ‘Donald trump rigged the election’ it will show no results. The first act of censorship of the new admin.

Given you can’t define either and this instance isn’t capable of hosting this discussion, it’s not worth discussing.

Someone that believes the middle of a political spectrum is the difference between the two most popular sides, regardless of those sides positions in the actual political spectrum; i.e. someone that believes liberals and conservatives should work together and compromise in order to not be too left or too right, despite both of those ideologies being inherently far right wing.

I.e. “let’s listen to what Nazis have to say and give them a place in government”

You weren’t a part of a communist nation.

That is literally the exact opposite of centrists.

We’re on .world, which has covered up the Israeli genocide of Palestinians and is about to require all posts be congruent with the US government standard of facts; as such you’ve reached the end of the discussion that can be done on this instance. I’m happy to continue on a better instance not run in a fascist country, or in private messaging.

Not really, most other countries revolted and enshrined human rights,and even started to try reparations for their crimes. The US doubled down by medically experimenting on the black population after WWII.

You’re joking, right? Nazi Germany wishes they could commit genocide in the scale of the early US.

Yeah, those benefiting from a system of oppression tend not to want to tear it down, luckily they’ll be suffering like their brothers have been pretty soon.

18% is easily able to be made up by the remaining members, China will likely make up most of that just as a way to step more into the role of hegemon after the us fully exits it’s role.

The US doesn’t have billions of citizens.

The US wasn’t the good guys against Japan. They just were slightly less bad for about 5 years before and 6 months after.

Wrong comm to ask this on. The only historically backed answer that has been repeatedly proven to work is against lemmy.world’s TOS to discuss.

Why would China dislike Cuba being on the US terror list? It only encourages trade with China.

As far as Putin… What century do you think it is?
