        True. Yale Skull & Bones backed Mao was worse than Stalin who killed 40 million who was worse than literal Hitler who was clearly the defensive underdog in WW2.

        A war would destroy their economy. It would bolster the US economy. That's why the Democrats are being Hawks this election cycle.

        How many money do i exactly got to throw at you?

        [–]JasonCarswell[S] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

        Throw all of the moneys at me.

        How many do you want to throw - and for what ?

        Worst case scenario you throw me money, somewhere between $1 and $1,000,000, and you end up disappointed with my results.

        Explain what your expectations are so that I can meet them.

        I plan to invest into your patreon bc. i really like your story.

        Thank you. I like my story too but I just need to get it out of my head and into the real world! If you've actually looked at the Bittersweet Seeds work in progress then you really haven't seen anything yet. Obviously this year has been different and unpredictable. I was going to finish it this summer before I turn 50, but WikiSpooks needs some sustainability help first. Ideally I'll wrap up the first draft this fall. I may even start sharing it after I've finished Act 2A, because the foundation will have been laid and the action will kick in with the second mystery to be solved on the run. I figure at that point people hopefully will be invested in the story, ideas, and maybe even some of the characters.

        The main character, Ernest Achbar, may have some things in common with you. He's a stats/coder/math guy who was on the core team that developed vHOPE, an artificial intelligence hive mind. After that he worked on preparing vHOPE for an intrastellar exploration program, but is no longer needed there. We start the story as he's become obsolete, and later he'll be facing his former projects again. At several points he, and other characters, are going to speak about geeky stuff that most people don't know about. Obviously it has to be natural and relevant while being educational. After the structural bones are in place I'm hoping you might offer some meaty ideas to help flesh it out realistically. I can't guarantee I'll like 1 in 20 ideas, or even any, that you might offer - or maybe I'll like them all. The ideas have to be interesting, clear, and short. I also wish to avoid all fakery (ie. Star Trek technical-sounding lingo). Ultimately it comes down to the story's flow.

        I haven't set up a Patreon yet. I haven't needed to.

        While China is rapidly advancing in its technology, they do not have anywhere near the same tech. The actual technological capabilities of their military is pretty limited. It will be decades before they catch up by any reasonable estimation.

        That said, I wouldn't want to see a war between the two countries.

        [–]Minedwe 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (6 children)

        This is untrue. The Chinese are worse off technology-wise than the U.S. in most areas (not that it matters since any engagement between the US and China would inevitably involve nuclear weapons at some point) and their population doesn't really matter since most of their populace are disarmed and hates the government.

        What you say may be true but it's all unverifiable. Neither the USA or China will ever be honest much less lay all their cards down. You and I have absolutely no idea of what either are actually capable of.

        Both have nukes, radiation, computers, space flight, etc etc etc. You don't need a million guns if one will do to kill someone.

        I don't even buy into the tribalist US vs China bullshit. Sure it's real on some levels, but ultimately the Zionists are the evil puppetmasters.

        Exactly, there's no reason to fight China (yet) and it should be avoided as it would be apocalyptic.

        It would be beneficial for both nations to throw off the chains of Marxism and Jewry.

        [–]JasonCarswell[S] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

        Yes, but not all Marxism is bad. Read

        It would be beneficial for both nations to throw off the chains of Communism, Capitalism, Usury, and above all the Zionist Corporatocracy and Deep State.

        Marxism =/= socialism. Marxist socialism and other forms of socialism are completely separate and distinct. But yes, you are 100% correct with your second point.

        [–]JasonCarswell[S] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

        " Marxism =/= socialism. "

        It's always nice to see someone who can see nuance above the dumbed down simplistic propaganda.

        " Marxist socialism and other forms of socialism are completely separate and distinct. "

        Please expand and clarify what you mean.

        I'm a big fan of Marxist professor Richard D. Wolff and many (not all) of his ideas. I despise ALL big governments, but I love the bottom up kind of socialism - especially worker directed enterprises, aka /s/Cooperatives.

        Please expand and clarify what you mean.

        Marxism, in general, says that hierarchies should be destroyed and that socialism should be achieved by destroying the upper classes or forcing them to submit.

        Other forms, like National Socialism, say that cooperation between classes should occur towards a common goal, the furthering of the nation and the race in National Socialism.

        We are in s/memes btw lol, so we might wanna take this to DMs.

        Yes but can the CCP stop the coming populous revolution in their country? There will be global revolution!

        [–]JasonCarswell[S] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

        There will never be global revolution, except online.

        There's no question China treats a monster load of their people poorly. However things have improved immensely for many. The EXACT same general statement could apply to the USA in the 20th century.

        IMO China's economy and situation will have to get substantially worse before their sheeple wake the flock up and revolt. China has top notch propaganda and control mechanisms in place - just like the USA. The difference is that the USA propaganda has been intentionally dividing the people to fight among themselves while the ruling class intentionally collapses the economy, the middle class, and the population - without significant resistance (the mindless riots without proper demands do not count as they are mere distractions and engineered chaos).

        Hong Kong may be a problem for China. However the Zionist control the USA and China and they won't let either actually have a legit revolution, if ever there was one. Yale's Skull And Bones engineered Mao's rise and revolution. It's no secret, but you actually have to look into it yourself because the MSM will never go there.
