What do we mean by "depopulate"? I think I read an estimate (from a non-western backed source) that proposed China's population dropping to the 700-800 million mark over many decades. Which shifts like that are often associated with many countries that have seen a drastic rise is quality of life, medical care, birth control, etc. It just happens more. People want/need fewer kids. They have more to do. Etc.

But this was projected over a looooning time. It's not like the country's gonna loose 30% of it's population in a few generations.

I really don't see it as people NOT fearing death, and more of a "their fear of death is not a greater force than whatever they are willing to die for."
Whether it's a cause they will die for, or their own despair that causes them to take their own life.
I truly believe everyone, at some level, is afraid to die. You may put on a brave face and say stuff like "I don't fear death but I also don't want to die," like half the thread, but I mean, come on. Just say it. You all are probably afraid to die at some level, you just accepted it and also have things you care about more than that fear. Even people who are religious, and see death as a release to whatever afterlife, and claim to embrace death. Is it really no fear of death? Or are their convictions to their religion just so much stronger it overrides it?

Like, fear is good. It keeps you on edge. It keeps you alive. You can't "be brave" if you aren't afraid. Because being brave, or in the case of religion, having faith, pretty much requires there to be fear or uncertainty that you are fighting, pushing aside, whatever.
Aren't their lots of various sayings based around things like "If you don't fear death, you aren't being brave, you're being dumb."?

The trick is to not let it rule you. I'm afraid of getting mutilated in a car accident. It doesn't prevent me from driving, and I'm not thinking about it every time I drive, but is someone swerves in the direction of my car, my adrenaline is gonna spike and I'ma react in an attempt to not be in an accident. And I do that because I am afraid of the outcome. I am afraid of being injured, or even dieing. But I don't sit around and dwell on it.

That's just how I see it.

I like how feds come in here with their lib upvotes bots thinking they will achieve some overall negative impact upon the community with type of shit, but all it does is act as a massive info dump for all sorts of source material for arguing better against this lib brained bullshit in the future. They may think "well I'm making them waste all this time and effort responding to the troll post." Like we all aren't sitting around wasting our time online anyway but now we have an actual point to focus on. Like the majority of us aren't just sitting here waiting for this exact scenario to infor dump our collective communist autism onto whatever poor soul dares to say something like this in our community.

And their last interaction with this site prior to this post was a single post made a year ago, and a single comment made two years ago. Now comes in parroting a bunch of lib talking points about Ukraine. Nothing suspicious about that. /S

Is there any report on this from... Not CNN? Lol. I trust some western MSM less that I would some guy on YouTube telling me to take horse laxatives to fight ebola.

Came in here like
"If someone hasn't made a " holy fuck, China isn't going to just save us from climate change, they area going to fucking EAT climate change" joke, I am gonna be real sad... Then make one."
So, thanks comrade.

This but for every member of the US government.

Defeatism is rampant in so many circles now. People are incapable of seeing anything as a win, even if it is small. "If he looks like he will win, he won't. If he does they will kill him. If they don't they will deport him. If they don't the something else bad will happen. And if all those things don't happen and he truly wins then he won't change anything anyway. And of it looks like he might then we will complain about him not being radical enough." There simply is no winning for so many western leftists.

China already perfected using time as a weapon. Waiting for capitalism to destroy itself.

"If you don't have nukes. Get nukes."

I agree on the grounds that Putin knows that NATO and the EU will absolutely turn on him at a moments notice, and is rabid to do so. On one end is an ally that will never betray or attack them and on the other end is an org that has spend decades trying to destroy him and will do so as soon as it's convenient. China will absolutely never stand against Russia in any form unless Russia were to like,go completely insane and attack them. Meanwhile NATO will do everything it can tof fuck them over at a moments notice.

On the other hand though, he's smart enough to also know his future, and the future of the Russian oligarchy, relies entirely on not allowing Chinese socialism to influence the Russian proletariat. And that when the west falls, the AES countries will continue to grow more and more.

So I think he both wants to keep China as an ally, but absolutely knows he can't last forever with the largest and most powerful socialist nation to ever exist sharing a border. And I don't think he will ever "go left" as I have seen other dream about. If the oligarchy was every overthrown in Russia, he's know he would be a dead man.

So trusting him to always be on China's side is not something I think anyone should ever do. If he could survive against the west without China he absolutely would abandon them.

This is just my views on the matter though.

Slaps roof of country. "This bad boy can fit so many trees."
