Honestly genuinely suprised that the Supreme Court had the spine. I guess even the chuds on the bench are averse to having their power actively curtailed, though.

The three body problem is basically written by a 2000s era Chinese upper class liberal nationalist with an extreme anti Maoist kneejerk response. and has the realpoltick ideology of such.
Compare Pantheon by the guy who did the English translation, who is an American liberal but features a very positive portrayal of a committed neo-maoist.
It also doesn't account for the common situation where a country could do something more cheaply internally if they had a decade or two to spool shit up.
See China where it's gone from a comparative advantage in coal and not much else, to cheap manufacturing, to high tech manufacturing, to universal comparative advantage.
It's quite fun because while this will hurt China the Chinese state can still actually do things, and the Chinese economy can still make things. Neither of which is true for the US outside the key industries of Tech grifting, corn so unprofitable a 1960s soviet agriculturalist would reject it, and genocide supplies.
Love how there is no law in the entire world or question that can be asked about a law that is not in some way a Political Question.
Has been for 20 years now. He was perhaps the central popularising voice of Neo-reaction. Which was nerd shit, but dumbed down was at the core of the Alt Right

I fully support Comrade Trump in his unceasing mission to dismantle the imperialist apparatus and create the material conditions for the Joint Dictatorship of the Proletariat of Oppressed Nations to march to victory over the capitalist oppression"
I think we underestimate the left here. I suspect the organisational seeds the left has will consolidate as the crisis grows and more people become radicalised. the cadres I've been talking to often have room to scale, and sometimes fighting capacity, but they want to keep their powder dry where possible and not escalate prematurely, so they keep the street fighting to a minimum and focus on resisting evictions and deportations.
Meanwhile the right are actually pretty keen on vigilantism and in the absence of a target they'll invent one.
Dark forest theory kind of sucks though, because all it takes is for a few non-shithead species to openly band together and murder dark forest societies, and the local calculus changes drastically towards federation.
