y axis is ‘bad’, it represents what the country wants or try’s to do with its foreign policy, x axis is power, what it has the capacity to do. The area of the rectangle formed is how much ‘bad’ the country is able to do. I think it’s an alright way to express the idea ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You know most anti-China stories are propaganda when they stoop to "OK, I know I can't point to something bad they're doing, but they totally would do bad stuff if the U.S. didn't do a bunch of bad stuff to keep them in check!"
I used to argue with this poster on Discord. He used to call himself actualcommunistboi but he always struck me as a bit of a lib.
Also, to my knowledge Germany’s foreign policy was already much worse than Britain’s even before they got to be so powerful. Alignment with Mussolini, conspiracy to go get some Lebensaum. So the analogy doesn’t even apply.
Are you forgetting the Empire? Even ignoring Canada, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Rhodesia, and Argentina; Britain was trying to turn Kenya in a settler state concurrently with Germany and continued for twenty years after the Nazi capitulation.
In econ the bad axis is the number of poor people who don't starve to death.
ronald reagan's treasury secretary came of with the laeffer curve stay woke
This person does have an econ degree apparently so it makes sense
This is stupid on a few levels, but also stupid because the US before getting to the top superpower position/when they were around China's position now, it had the Monroe Doctrine and was doing invasions of Haiti like 4 times, invading the Phillipines, Chile, Mexico, Panama, etc. China has done insufficient harm to reach this level.
The graph seems to imply the opposite - that Germany's badness remained constant as their power increased. Big-brain stuff for sure.
Completely unsurprising that the guy who made this cursed shit would take a social chauvinist position on China
i will genuinely never understand """socialists""" wholeheartedly embracing liberalism. shouldnt that be fucking embarrassing? how could someone create that and upload that to youtube without feeling like a complete fraud and a loser?
What are the units for "bad"? Also, does the X axis define "power" or the year?
I can't believe I actually bought into a (in my defence less extreme) version of this not even a year ago.
you can redeem them at the prize counter. If I get 85 more fascism points I can get a gumball machine
