The International order is changing rapidly. People have been talking of white privilege a lot the last few years. After centuries of white colonial domination, I do believe it is ending.
Once white people lived in caves in Europe. When the Middle Eastern and Asia had civilization and empires. Personally I don't see the human race any better or worse with different colour of skin, gender nor age. Me being white, straight, boomer, male is a silly game of labels people use psychological powers for control, it just bounces off of me, especially from the greedy bastards. This Eastern strategy is working well and very rapidly being a mix bag of trade, yuan, goods and services. I personally use this method mostly in trade to govern my community of tiny houses, urban farming and the freedom of artist expression. Sorry folk, I'm not great with words.
That the US will be replaced was always going to happen, all empires fizzle out. A lot of fearmongering about the "yellow peril" but that is all it is, fearmongering. It does not worry me with the alternative being a continuation of the BS we have lived through in recent history ie constant war.
I dare say living in SE Asia for 20years helped formed my attitude. It's not going to be the gloom and doom those currently holding power would like us to believe. Be bad for the currently powerful but as the Thai's say, "sum num nar" which means "You have bought it upon yourself". Ed "Suck shit" in Australian
And why isn't Australia in BRICS or would that make BRAICS?
You really have to ask? If we did that we would taste some "freedom" rather quickly. It would not surprise if our dickhead government rushes to buy the new US treasury bonds they will release when they raise the debt ceiling yet again, bonds that won't be worth shit soon.
The US says jump and Australia asks "How high" unfortunately.
BRICS sound tough, like a brick in the wall again. It's why I'm not a subscriber to any Centroism corruption. Although I have to play the game to a degree to survive , when my game is to thrive in joy in the end
Yes that is great, but you have to worry about the underdeveloped countries of the world. China today is using exactly the same methods of colonization in the third world, that European powers did in the nineteenth century. If many underdeveloped countries in Asia, and America, but especially Africa are not careful, they will turn round in a few years, and find that they have been colonized all over again, and with the same sort of stealth.
With regard to China and Africa there is one distinct difference in that the Chinese are engaged in huge infrastructure projects in exchange for resources whereas western countries exploits in India and Africa largely consisted of theft.
I understand what you are saying but from an African point of view, if they are going to be exploited by powerful foreign nations regardless, they now have two choices; Same old same old or give China a chance. I would view it as a nothing to lose choice, lets try the new ones as we already know how the old ones conduct themselves. Check out this podcasty thing commenting on recent hearings. It's this sort of shit which makes their choice easier. Plus the overuse of sanctions does not help. Cutting Russia off from SWIFT freaked many nations out, why BRICS has really taken off lately imo. To insulate themselves from a currency so easily weaponised against them.
BRICS offer ls a better deal. The history of the jews were people like Gypsies of no country,. Then there was in part a Jewish military group who Russia hired, the public called them the fuckers. The jews branch out a group called Zionist, who were administration by Winston Churchhill who helped them start an Isreal settlement which ended up in another coup. Much like the coup happened in South Africa. NATO is just another hired group of psychopath fuckers with no solutions, just more for the wealthy empire bastards of destruction.
