Not sure if they will go this way with amphoreus but a possible direction for the cycle is that it’s a metaphor for feudal China and how before the revolution there were many dynasty changes yet it didn’t really matter in the long run, for the average commoner most dynasty changes were incredibly inconsequential, similar to the cycles of amphoreus. It’s a pretty red direction to go but mhy writers have been known to do that, most notably with the galaxy rangers in penacony

anyway you should always remember that all those foreigners you see dying on the news are just as real people as you are who have just as much interiority as you do. there is nothing about you that makes you more important and it is by pure chance that you are not in their position. in fact, this holds for all of history. every person, no matter the horror of the fate that befell them, had just as much interiority as you do. i feel like some people haven't fully internalized this.

We are seeing the same playbook as Iraq and a lot of Iraqi diaspora also said the same things when it was ongoing. Regardless of how you feel about the Iranian government, do not fucking do CIA job

the audacity of western leftists saying "why isn't china doing more to help"
what the hell is china supposed to, invade another country that didn't even ask for help?
not their war. Like it or not, countries don't run on morality but material reality. No country is gonna expend resources on a fucking war when it doesn't benefit them, that is just how every single country and organization on Earth works
which is why you don't want more "help". The fewer nations involved, the better. Once a country meddles, they start having their own agendas and interests and voila, the conflict just got more complicated
just because it's western culture to stick their nose in everyone's business doesn't mean it's the norm for others
you, someone who lives INSIDE the western imperial core, can barely doing anything about it, why do you expect a foreign nation - one that is politically considered an enemy - to help your cause, without dire global consequences??
china's policy of non-interference means non-interference. They don't "help out", but on the flip side that is how they've gone these decades without ever causing or getting involved in another war
why do you automatically assume other countries don't have the power to fight back? Why do you assume their doom is inevitable? What racist belief is hiding in your subconscious?
YOU WESTERNERS CAUSED THESE MESSES. Stop expecting others to clean up after you
Absolutely mindblowing that when conflicts within or between countries arise, westerners either commit or ask for foreign interference, which historically NEVER works out for the countries "getting" the help. WHEN WILL YOU LEARN.

average westerner: pays pennies for a product that should be a hundred times more expensive, on aliexpress/temu/etc, where more appropriately expensive options exist, without looking at reviews or doing any basic research on the seller like they would for amazon
product: arrives and is exactly the quality they paid for (i.e. cheap)
average westerner: this is a scam. This is proof that made in china shit is shit

Like I know we flee here from the smouldering ruin of our civilisation at the moment but I as a mid-40s year old need you guys to know
Netanyahu has been saying Iran is close to nuclear weapons for 30 years
He has wanted a war with Iran that whole time
The "they have nuclear weapons" was the reason the allied west invaded and flattened Iraq in 2003 and it also turned out to be a lie
Tulsi Gubbard who is the head of US Intelligence signed a statement less than two weeks ago confirming it is America's belief that Iran is not currently pursuing nuclear weapons
Talks between the US and Irani delegation were expected to take place on Sunday, and the Irani lead negotiator was interviewed as saying he felt positively about the possibility of a new deal
Netanyahu bombed Iran and killed that exact negotiator on Friday.
There is heaps of footage of Netanyahu claiming Iraq had WMD/nukes, he was a lead proponent of the war on Iraq.
History is fucking repeating and it is MADDENING. I was at protests against the Iraqi invasion in 2002/2003. We all knew there were no nukes. US and Israel wanted regime change in Iraq anyway so they could install puppets and that's exactly what they're doing in Iran.
People will study this period in history and go, "WHY DID NO ONE STOP NETANYAHU AND ISRAEL IN GAZA, IRAN AND THE WIDER MIDDLE EAST? WHY DID THE MEDIA NOT COMMENT ON THE FACT ISRAEL HAS NUKES AND HASN'T SIGNED A TREATY BUT IS CLAIMING TO BE UPSET ABOUT A FICTIONAL SITUATION WHERE OTHER COUNTRIES ARE APPARENTLY DOING THE SAME?"

I really dislike the fact that so many people just dont consider chinese contributions to ww2 and treat ww2 as just fighting nazis. Even when they do acknowledge japans involvement its still on a way that completely cuts out who the majority of fighting with japan was done.

yaaayyy western recognition
real talk tho, as much as this kind of thing makes my eyes roll, i hope this at least helps the liberal chinese westerners who grew up with internalized sinophobia. Be proud of your ancestry even if you're only brave enough to do it in the face of white acceptance
