A more united Africa, he suggests, would be better positioned to negotiate stronger deals and defend its interests on the global stage. #africa #panafricanism #africaaware #africaunity #blacks".

Therefore we shouldn’t try to fix it.” Examining a study on how kids share. #explore #politicalpsychology #politics #psychology #natural".

The West chose paper. China chose production. In this reaction, we break down a rare moment of economic honesty as economist Steve Keen explains to Tom Bilyeu exactly why the West is falling behind. While Western politicians are distracted by culture wars and financial engineering, China is being run by a meritocracy of engineers focused on one thing: building the physical future. We dive into the data that proves this isn't just about "cheap labor" anymore—it’s about a structural advantage that the US financial sector simply can't compete with. Key moments we cover: The Financialization Trap: Why trading "paper wealth" for interest has hollowed out the American middle class. The Engineer’s Advantage: Why a leadership full of engineers produces a 50-year plan while lawyers only produce a 4-year election cycle. Physical Gold vs. Digital Promises: China’s aggressive move to move away from "paper gold" and secure hard assets. The Infrastructure Miracle: Comparing the crumbling US "C-minus" infrastructure to China’s 2026 record-breaking bridge projects. Safety Irony: The reality check on why Westerners fear visiting China while facing more danger in their own major cities.

dravonrangel on May 31, 2026: "MAGA dressed in spirituality might be one of the greatest threats to America because it teaches people to confuse hatred with holiness, racism with righteousness, sexism with tradition, classism with merit, and obedience with faith. You cannot sage your house and still support policies that tear families apart. You cannot quote God while cheering for children being buried under bombs. You cannot call yourself “awake” while defending a man who has built power by attacking Black people, immigrants, women, LGBTQ people, the poor, and anyone asking this country to be more humane. Trump did not expose America by accident. He revealed how many people were never fighting for freedom. They were fighting to keep hierarchy alive. And now we are watching people trade their humanity for proximity to power, wrapping cruelty in flags, crosses, crystals, and “good vibes.” That is not spirituality. That is supremacy with incense burning.".
