One time in Thailand, however many years ago, I was listening to a young lady complain about Chinese people. I had some sympathy for her complaints, as Chinese tourists can be overbearing. On the whole, they spend so much money, it is hardly fair to complain. And the thing about this is: China developed so rapidly that the average 30-year-old has parents who grew up in a rice field. So they have a rural mindset, which is different than the more refined culture of Thailand, which prioritizes politeness and a complex system of social decorum. Americans and the British can also be slightly barbaric in the eyes of Thais or other Indochinese peoples, but the whites can sort of get a hold of the concept of Asian decorum, specifically because they are racially different. A Chinese person looking at a Thai sees someone genetically similar to them (Thailand was colonized by Southern Chinese), and feels as though they are in rural China when they are in Thailand.
The Thais complain about Chinese talking too loudly, spitting indoors, and flicking cigarette butts in inappropriate places. It is all just rural behavior. Obviously, everyone loves the Singaporeans, who are some of the nicest and most refined people in the world (if not the single most polite and culturally aware), and Singaporeans are Han Chinese. Further, you will find Singaporean type culturalization in central Shanghai, Hong Kong, Taipei, and other Han metros where people have lived a cultured urban life for generations. So it is definitely not a ethnic issue or even a general ethnic cultural issue, but specifically a rural issue, with people who have not been fully acclimatized to urban Asian social norms having the money to travel to Thailand for vacation.
I am a sinophile, and attempted to explain this to the lass with some degree of success. I further added that most Asian groups hate each other, but they should try to find positives in Chinese culture and be friendly with them, because they are bringing in money that is really helping Thai development.
She bristled at the word “hate,” saying “I don’t hate anyone, I just find some of the behaviors rude and wish they would try to understand our culture more when they are here.”
Referencing an early discussion, I replied: “Well, you said you hate Indians.”
And she said: “And Pakistan. I hate them all and think a big bomb should destroy all of them. You said we were talking about Asians. I don’t hate any Asians, we are all similar, but I hate all Indians and Pakistanis and think they all should die.”
This is not a minority view in Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, or Indonesia. It is most extreme in Burma, where they border Bangladesh and have had ongoing conflict with them for decades. This doesn’t have much to do with tourism or overseas work, given that subcontinental peoples don’t do much of that in Southeast Asia. It is much more influenced by the fact that you’d be very hard-pressed to find a single individual in one of these countries who does not know someone who has been scammed by an Indian.
It would also be hard to find an American who has not been targeted with a scam from India, but aside from the elderly, most Westerners come from a society that is much lower trust, and is therefore much more guarded against scams. But we all hear the horror stories of elderly people having their identity stolen and their bank account cleaned out, or teenagers who commit suicide because a “woman” with an attractive profile picture asked them to masturbate on camera for them and then threatened to spread it to their parents and all their classmates if they didn’t pay up.
One in five elderly people in America have been scammed, adding up to nearly $40 billion per year in profits for the scammers who are virtually all Indian.
The “sextortion” of teen boys is harder to track, because for the same reason boys don’t want the videos released, they don’t want to admit they got scammed like this. (Note: sextortion victims also include some girls, though a much lower percentage, probably both because girls are slightly more discerning about who they send nudes to, and less bothered by the prospect of them leaking.)
Americans are so sensitive to “racism” accusations that we can’t even talk about the fact that the overwhelming majority of these scams come from India. Of course, the media decides what “racism” is and who you’re allowed to be racist towards, and interestingly, the media does not hesitate to point to ethnic Chinese as being the largest group involved in corporate espionage.
Silicon Valley is involved in aggressive screening not just of Chinese nationals, but ethnic Chinese born in America or a third country. This was endorsed by the State Department, officially, though after several lawsuits, it is currently a bit less official. Official or not, if you are visibly Chinese, it is virtually impossible to get hired as a new employee in Silicon Valley in current year (even other East Asians with poor relations to the Chinese get profiled because of their physical features).
In 2023, the then FBI overlord Christopher Wray held a meeting with his “Five Eyes” satraps to warn of the Chinese tech threat, and effectively instructed tech companies and universities not to hire Chinese people. In so many words.
I don’t know about you, but my grandma being scammed out of her social security by Indians bothers me a lot more than Sam Altman getting his AI algorithm (which was promised to be open source in the first place) borrowed by the Chinese. Part of the issue here is that the government cares a lot more about global tech dominance than they do your grandma or your horny teenage son, but it is also an issue of geopolitics, where China is viewed as an enemy and India is not.
While spying is definitely more important to the government than grandma’s retirement money, the US is only bothered by certain spies. While India probably doesn’t do spying or industrial espionage on any scale, simply because their domestic tech industry is not advanced enough for it to be relevant to them, Israelis steal technology and spy on Americans with impunity, and there are never any meetings about it, let alone calls for companies dealing with sensitive technologies to stop hiring Jews. However, twenty years ago, when the Holocaust was not so fresh in everyone’s minds, Israel did make it into an FBI report on industrial espionage, which stated: “Israel has an active program to gather proprietary information within the United States. These collection activities are primarily directed at obtaining information on military systems and advanced computing applications that can be used in Israel’s sizable armaments industry.” But I mean, in 2019, Jews were caught setting up spying devices outside of the White House, and it was a considered by the US “intelligence community” to be a non-issue. There was no summoning of the ambassador. What makes the situation even more outrageous is that the Israeli companies involved in theft of US technology have been caught selling some of it to China (this is despite the fact that China may well in turn sell the tech to Iran). But this is allowed, because of the Holocaust. (Please see “Schindler’s List” for more information on why Jews are permitted to operate with impunity inside of the United States).
India was a “Bulwark Against China”
China is definitely on the enemies list, just like the Russians. And while their status is nowhere near that of the Jews, India has had a privileged status for decades due to claims that they are a “bulwark against China.”
It is worth noting here that there is a pretty large misconception about the history of India and China. Many people believe, for whatever various reasons, that Chinese-Indian conflict is some kind of ancient norm, similar to the hostility between China and Japan. However, there is no truth to this. In fact, going back more than 2,000 years, there had been intense cultural, religious, and economic cooperation between China and India. India played a key role in moving Chinese products to the Middle East and Europe. (In trying to get a grasp on this issue recently, I found “Buddhism, Diplomacy, and Trade: The Realignment of India–China Relations, 600–1400” by Tansen Sen very helpful, though for those uninterested in books, perusing Wikipedia can get you up to speed.)
So then, you might be thinking that there was some fallout during the colonial period, or during the communist revolution in China. You would, in fact, be incorrect. Relations between India and China, which were peaceful for thousands of years, did not deteriorate until 1959, when India made the decision to harbor the satanic cult leader, slaver, cannibal, and terrorist “Dalai Lama.” Due to the extreme vulgarity of harboring such an unbelievable fiend, tensions soured drastically. This led to border conflicts in territories that were never considered contested before, and to the first ever military conflict between the two states in 1962.
It’s unclear why India made the decision to harbor this terrorist. I would personally assume that it was due to back-channeling with the US, though to be clear, this is a personal “hunch,” as I have never found record of this. The US did funnel him and his satanic cannibal bandits a bunch of money.
To be clear, “Dalai Lama” is no more a “Buddhist” than a “Christian Zionist” is a “Christian.” Tibetan Buddhism, like Christian Zionism, is a satanic cult. Late 19th- and early 20th-century European occultists went to Tibet and integrated the information they gathered into their mystical, satanic systems. Even Aleister Crowley was obsessed with Tibet. That is a story for another time, but the evils of the Tibetans were well-documented long before the Chinese revolution, and are definitely not “Chinese communist” propaganda. (Keyu Jin, who is the sexy author of The New China Playbook: Beyond Socialism and Capitalism, a book trying to explain China to Westerners, says when Americans think of China they think of “the 3 Ts – Tibet, Taiwan, and Tiananmen, all of which were hoaxes. And yes, I am showing off the fact that not working on the site for 10 hours a day has given me time to read a lot of books.) The Dalai Lama’s failed uprising was against Beijing’s demands that they end slavery. This is to say a “humanitarian” reason to harbor him is nonsensical. Regardless of the thinking behind the decision to harbor this fiend, it caused a spiraling of relations between India and China that were then rolled up into Cold War politics.
The end of India’s 3,000 years of friendly relations with China was the beginning of their friendly relations with the US. Relations between the US and China softened in the 1970s, the start of which was actually a ping-pong championship, but the most iconic symbol of the softening was Richard Nixon’s 1972 visit, where he met with Chairman Mao.
Mao died four years later, and Deng Xiaoping eventually took over, leading to decades of cooperation, given that neither got along particularly well with the USSR.
However, this cooperation was haunted by the paranoia of the United States, which insisted on maintaining control of Taiwan, despite the fact that they signed the “One China” agreement, recognizing that the PRC is the only government of China, which includes Taiwan. They also continued to thwart relations between China and India throughout this period, putting conditions on “development assistance” foreign aid, for example, and of course spreading anti-China propaganda throughout the Indian media.
Most of the American “top thinkers,” such as Zbigniew Brzezinski, believed that China was going to become a liberal democracy as it got wealthier. The idea, especially after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the disintegration of the USSR, with all of that “end of history” nonsense, was that wealthier nations naturally adopt social liberalism and that social liberalism is incompatible with any political system other than liberal democracy. As late as 1998, Zbig claimed that “within a decade” the CCP would no longer be the sole governing body of China.
Meanwhile, Samuel Huntington, a Harvard professor who served in the Carter Administration alongside Zbig and author of “The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order,” argued that some traditional cultures could maintain social conservatism and therefore political conservatism even after technological development and economic liberalization. He listed China as one such civilization. He certainly won that debate, as by the time Obama took office (elected the same year Zbig predicted China would be embracing democracy), the US had accepted that China would not spontaneously become a democracy, and developed a “Pivot to Asia” strategy to use military force to turn China into a liberal democracy.
Part of the plan there was to lean heavily into the relationship with India, along with the Philippines, Japan, and “South Korea,” because they needed as many bulwarks as possible against their former bulwark against the USSR. (US foreign policy is heavily bulwark-oriented, which in simple terms means that they constantly play countries against one another to prevent any alliances that could challenge their hegemony.) Many prominent academics, including John Mearsheimer, were calling for Russia to be a bulwark against China, but the US has always hated Russia. During his 2012 election against Mitt Romney, Obama chastised the nasty old magic underwear-wearing coot over Romney’s antagonism toward Russia. You may remember he said “the 1980s called and they want their foreign policy back.” (Obama was always very tapped into youth culture, you see.) Two years later, Obama’s State Department was running a coup in the Ukraine. (Although to be fair, during his “exit interview” with Jewish terrorist and Atlantic Monthly editor Jeffrey Goldberg, Obama said he didn’t support further escalation with Russia over the Ukraine. Also, to be fair, Goldberg is my favorite Jewish terrorist because he put me on the cover of his magazine and I looked really cool. Also to be clear, he is literally a Jewish terrorist who in his 20s went to Israel to work in a concentration camp and torture hostages.)
India, with a massive population and an economy advanced enough to absorb much of the manufacturing previously done in China, was a key “bulwark” in this current landscape of hostility towards China.
But then Lindsey Graham told Trump he had to be a big tough macho man and stand up against Vladimir Putin for some reason no one has ever bothered to explain, and Trump hit India with a 50% tariff because they refused to stop buying Russian oil.
Obviously, this isn’t a permanent thing. Even if India maintains its refusal to take orders regarding its energy policy from Donald Trump and his pal Lindsey, it is not going to maintain a 50% tariff. However, this has completely soured India on the US, rousing up ultranationalist sentiment. Even if the tariffs are lifted tomorrow, the damage done to the US-India relationship will be permanent.
I watch the Indian news. Firstly, it is in English for whatever reason. Secondly, the talk shows are totally insane. There are no guardrails. It is like Piers Morgan’s YouTube show, but even wilder. They will entertain any and all ideas. They will sometimes bring on Pakistanis and have better shouting matches than anything I’ve ever seen on Piers’ show. Further, I enjoy masturbating to some of the hosts.
Based on 100% of the news I’ve seen, India is now completely united against America. Severely. These people are really, really mad. They are saying “we’ve done everything you wanted us to do for decades, how are you going to do us like this?” It is being viewed, universally, as an attack on Indian sovereignty, and unlike white people, Indians still have a sense of pride and dignity and take very severe offense to being bullied in this way. What they are hearing from Donald Trump is “we decide who you do business with.” Given that the colonial history is such a huge part of the national mythology, it seems like some advisor should have understood that the response to this would be extreme.
I don’t think India is going to become an enemy state tomorrow, but this weird thing Trump did will be remembered for decades to come, and it is already causing the country to move toward China, as we saw this week.
“Tariffs” are Just a New Form of Sanctions
The US had encouraged India to engage in border skirmishes with China, and in 2020 there was a particularly deadly one. Because of this, and the fallout from it, India’s recent relations with China were especially cold, which is exactly what the US wanted. However, Indian Prime Minister Modi is now in China for the first time in seven years. And it is not just any trip, but a trip to meet with the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), a security partnership that Russia and China envision as a counterbalance to NATO.
India has been a member of the SCO since 2017, but has also maintained military cooperation with the US, which was one of the biggest hurdles preventing the organization from forming a cohesive bloc to resist NATO. Although the mutual defense pact – “an attack on one is an attack on all” – that NATO members agree to is unprecedented, explicitly a relic of the Cold War, and not something the SCO would likely ever commit to, it is possible that agreements could be made to exclusively cooperate militarily with each other, which would mean India ending their cooperation with the US military.
Joe Biden’s administration was seen as completely out of control, with its totally unprecedented actions against Russia, removing them from the global banking system over an insignificant border skirmish, along with their provocations and threats against China, all culminating in their unconditional support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza, which threatens to throw the entire region into a very big war. Countries were waiting to see if Trump would restore some kind of sanity, as he was claiming he would, and instead he maxed everything out, making it even more extreme than it was under Biden.
The Russia sanctions showed that the US could not be trusted to maintain the global financial system, because if they decide they don’t like you, they can just kick you out of international trade. They will steal your dollar reserves. They will attempt to bankrupt your economy, they will engage in piracy, expropriating private property from your citizens without any sort of process. This is a lot more threatening than the prospect of war. If Trump would have came in on day one and simply let Russia back into SWIFT, he could have kept the war going and it would have blunted most of the damage. But instead he is doing “secondary sanctions” through this “tariff” thing.
It’s now clear that the tariffs do not relate to attempting to reshore US manufacturing. That is just a ruse. It is a stupid ruse as well, because the idea that you can just “move” factories as you would move a shipping container, and then somehow train up a staff, is completely absurd.
Note: During Trump 1, when he first started tariffing China ostensibly under the same premise as these current tariffs, China began moving their factories to Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, etc. They brought their own teams to build the buildings, and then their own people to train up the local staff. In some situations, they didn’t even bother to train local staff, and just moved the Chinese factory workers to the new factory in the less tariffed country.
“Reshoring” is a pipe dream. It is so much more expensive to manufacture in America. Some of that is wages, but with wages having risen in China and elsewhere while US wages have fallen, it has much more to do with the insane regulatory environment in America that is so anti-business. Surely, if the tariffs are high enough, it is still cheaper to move to America, but who is going to do that when Trump won’t even stick to his own policies for more than a few days or weeks? And even if Trump did set a hard policy, we live in a democracy where there is no political stability and the next guy could and probably will just remove all these tariffs.
The tariffs are usually framed by critics as a tax on Americans. Objectively, they are a tax on Americans, even though they also harm foreign exporters. But I think the real revelation here, made very obvious in the India situation, is that these tariffs are a new type of sanctions. Lindsey Graham was calling for “secondary sanctions” on India for buying Russian oil, and Trump did the “tariffs” for that express purpose. And he is lobbing these tariffs around everywhere. He’s tariffing Brazil explicitly to try to pressure them into making Bolsonaro president again. Whatever you think of the Ukraine or Brazil or whatever else, this is extreme international belligerence, and it shows the world that the US is not a safe guarantor of the global order. Entrusting the US to maintain the global financial or security architecture is like sending your kids to a daycare center that is also a crack house.
Americans might think Trump is better than Biden because he cracked down on trannies and you can say “gay” and “retard” again. But to the rest of the world, Trump 2 is “Biden on Steroids,” and the US is a sinking ship. People are fleeing, trying to grab ahold of anything.
Modi’s India Can’t Work as a Liberal Democracy
Despite having called for a genocide of the entire Indian race as a result of their scamming and generally abhorrent behaviors, I’ve always liked Modi. He is an anti-liberal ethnoreligious nationalist. His project is incompatible with democracy. Most pressingly, he is dealing with an existential demographic issue many decades after the partition of India, which was supposed to solve the problem of multiculturalism by giving Moslems their own country (which later became two countries when East Pakistan became Bangladesh). There are still Moslems in India, and they have a lot more kids than Hindus. India is supposedly only 15% Moslem right now, but no one really knows the demographics of India. In a few decades, the Moslems will start wielding real political power, and in the longer run, there cannot be a democratic Hindu India for the same reason Israel says there can’t be a Jewish democracy if they gave Palestinians citizenship. (This is why everyone talks about a mythical “two-state solution” instead of just doing the obvious thing and giving Palestinians equal rights. Jews will always talk about a “two-state solution.” That’s why there are so many Jews in pro-Palestine activism. The obvious thing is a one-state solution where you just give the Palestinians citizenship.) If India were not a democracy, an Islamic minority would not be so much of a threat. The Hindus wouldn’t have to kill them all, but they would not face the threat of Moslems gaining political power and ultimately taking over the country.
Please note that I am not saying Islam is bad or Hinduism is good or anything else, I am simply describing the situation, and also noting that I respect any leader who is willing to stick up for their own people. I like Modi because he is the kind of leader that every nation should have.
What’s more, unlike many populists, Modi’s support base is the urban middle class, the wealthy, and the industrialists. In the 2024 election, when he lost a significant amount of power in the democracy system, it was in part due to Moslems coming together (which they hadn’t effectively done before), but was in larger part due to poor, rural people disliking him because of something to do with farming problems.
The only reason India is a democracy in the first place is that the West demanded it. No one really wants democracy, other than screeching women who want to have slut freedoms, as well as homosexuals and various minority groups. Democracy is not a natural system. You see this with the Trump movement, where the MAGA support base has no interest at all in democratic processes and just basically wants Trump to be a king. Further, Putin got 88% of the vote in the last election. If Xi were to hold a vote, he would get more than that. Democracy is an unnatural system, it is the most corrupt system, and it is the most tyrannical. No one wants it and they only do it because the US forces it on them. The US wants democracies because they can manipulate and control them through institutions. They have that down to a science.
This is a big reason for Modi to split from the US. If he does, he will no longer have to do this democracy charade. That doesn’t mean he has to abolish parliament or whatever, he just moves into a system that maintains some of the trappings of democracy, but opposition parties are sidelined and safely ignored.
The Trump attack on India via these “tariff” sanctions is giving Modi the support and the excuse to move away from the West and move away from the democracy system. His ability to do that will be based on his ability to form a relationship with China, and so far, that seems to be going very well.
The SCO meeting was more symbolic than anything else. But it’s a big symbol. And it certainly implies that this is going to be moving forward.
Trump is going around whining about how he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize even as he continues to arm the Ukraine and commits the single most brutal genocide in all of human history in Gaza. (The Holocaust is a hoax, but even if it was real, at least it was a secret. Imagine if Nazi camp guards had been posting TikTok videos of them steaming millions of Jews in homicidal steam chambers. And then there was some other country paying for the whole thing and saying it was good.) But frankly, the way Trump has united Russia, China, and India in this new alliance is probably worth giving him a Nobel Peace Prize. I’m serious. He should try applying on that basis, and I don’t really know how it could be denied to him.
The SCO meeting was also attended by Lula, president of Brazil, who is also a victim of Trump’s “tariff” sanctions. Iran’s president was there. As was the Prime Minister of Cambodia, whose country was a victim of a ridiculous assault by the US ally Thailand last month. Mongolia’s president was there (the US has been trying to sway Mongolia to their side, despite the fact it would make no sense). The leaders of every Central and Southeast Asian country, with the exceptions of Thailand and the Philippines, were in attendance.

The SCO is a kind of sister organization to BRICS. What exactly the official functions of these organizations technically are is sort of irrelevant at this point. The point is, they represent the coming together of all of the nations being targeted as enemies by the United States. Please note that I hate the term “global south,” and would ask you to kindly not use that term. The correct term is “Russia, China, and the third world” (Russia and China are second world countries, the rest of these are all third world countries. Those terms are not offensive, and what is actually offensive is changing terminology. Referring to the third world as “global south” is no better than referring to niggers as “the negro peoples.”)
What we are seeing with Trump is an extreme escalation of the US agenda to build an Iron Curtain around itself by forcing every country not directly under the control of the US into an alliance explicitly based on not being friends with the US, because the US is a bully country that tries to control everyone’s life.
International liberal democracy thinks it’s Jesus. After all, if everyone has “human rights” (protip: they do not), then every country must accept the perfected universalist system of liberal democracy. It is an evangelical system. This has become like communism. Well, like early communism. “Everyone deserves human rights” is just a different version of “workers of the world, unite!” What China, as the head of this new world order, is saying is that it’s nobody’s business but your own how you want to run your internal affairs. What China is saying is that communists, dictators, theocrats, and yes, even democrats (assuming they are not the liberal Western sort) can all get along and make money together instead of having wars. It is universally appealing and the only reason anyone would not want in is that the US is threatening or bribing them.
No traditional country that is too big to bribe wants to be on-board with the Americans’ gay/feminist/interracial agenda. Access to the US financial infrastructure is a kind of bribe, in that it is coercive. But the world is now seeing that regardless of the money they might be able to make, it is simply not worth it to be under the boot of Creepy Uncle Sam. Further, given the way the country is going off the rails, it’s unlikely there is going to be much money to make with the US in the 21st century. Along with all of his other problems, Trump has no ability to escape Israel’s demand for a war with Iran, and that is really going to damage the country’s financial and military standing.
Further, Modi, like every other leader in the world, knows that at any time the US could do him like they did Russia, and cut India out of their international financial cartel. It is just common sense to preempt that by being prepared. For every country, security is the first and foremost concern, and China can provide security guarantees without the bullying.
What This Means for You
If this plays out the way it looks like it’s going to play out, it is definitely going to mean fewer H-1B visas, I can tell you that. Indians will be less excited to come to a country they view as an enemy nation, and the US will be less likely to let them in if they start classifying them like they classify the Chinese. India’s tech sector is not a complete joke, they are developing, and they could develop faster if they were cooperating with the Chinese, so those people who come on H-1Bs could just stay in their own country and work at their own companies.
Further, if India, the most populous country in the world and the “bulwark against China” that the US has poured so much money and energy into developing switches to the Chinese side, it is a massive hit to the American Empire, and the weakening of the American empire is good for everyone on earth, first and foremost Americans themselves. Well, maybe first and foremost for the Europeans, who are crushed under the heel of the Americans and don’t even get the financial benefits Americans get from the empire, but at least second and secondmost, the Americans benefit from an end of the empire.
As far as what America’s plan is here: I have no idea. This makes zero sense. There is no level on which it makes sense, other than that Trump is senile, and really likes golfing with Lindsey Graham.
It is wild that he had that meeting with Putin and said he was setting everything up to end the war then did the most extreme possible thing that not even Joe Biden was willing to do, these “secondary sanctions.” But way beyond simply escalating the war, which he’d already been doing in various ways, to make an enemy out of India is just so bizarre I can’t even really process how it could have happened beyond the stated theory of “he’s senile and Lindsey Graham is really good at kissing his ass.”
I form my own opinions on things, and then before considering them solid enough to share with you, dear reader, I go see what other smart people are saying. I’ve read and listened to a lot of different smart people since Trump did this attack on India, and everyone has said the same thing: “I have no idea why he would do this.” He is making all of these threats, talking about how America can do anything to anyone, and none of it makes any sense. I don’t think it is some calculated move by any “deep state,” and instead it seems like the opposite; he’d been doing this tariff thing for however many months, and shortly after the India attack, a federal court called him up and said all these tariffs are illegal, he doesn’t have any of this authority. He’s saying he’s going to rush it through the Supreme Court, so we’ll see how that goes, but in terms of India, I think it’s over. I think Modi wanted out for the reasons listed above, and I think the people of the country are angry enough that he can use this as a wedge issue to distance himself from the US.
But hey – whatever.
I don’t know why it’s happening, but I know I like this a lot.
The collapse of the empire is the only news story that really matters. All of this other stuff is really just a distraction, entertainment at best. They’re never going to give you the Epstein files. They’re not going to deport millions of people. Obama is not going to be arrested. Shroud is never going to be prosecuted for cheating at video games. But every day, you can open up your internet device and watch the empire ending.
As I type up the final words of this essay, my laptop is on my knees as I squat in the street taking a shit in a show of solidarity with the Indian people. Looking up at the clear blue autumn sky above this shitting street, I can see the shadow of a new world order, coming into view.
