    The south has always been the periphery zone within the US and I've read about European manufacturers thinking about outsourcing there cuz labor was cheap and unprotected but a concrete example like this is still wild to see

    Reuters learned of underage workers at the Hyundai-owned supplier following the brief disappearance in February of a Guatemalan migrant child from her family's home in Alabama.
    ...
    The company recently said it will expand in the United States, planning over $5 billion in investments including a new electric vehicle factory near Savannah, Georgia.
    ...
    The SMART plant builds parts for the popular Elantra, Sonata, and Santa Fe models, vehicles that through June accounted for almost 37% of Hyundai's U.S. sales, according to the carmaker. The factory has received repeated OSHA penalties for health and safety violations, federal records show.

    Who is that

    Neoreactionary philosopher who has a hard on for China techno bureaucracy.

    He came from that same group that Mark Fischer forgot what it’s called, started off as a “leftist” and then got addicted to amphetamines and became part of the dark enlightenment.

    here’s a thread where he’s talked about as well if u want to learn more

    Interesting, I feel like this such a tiny niche though because the majority of people online look at those attributes and decide they love China usually label themselves Communists from what ive seen. When people who view themselves as rightists big up China its usually always a bitter appraisal because they view it as a rival instead of a potential ally like Russia. Tucker for example praises China a lot but at the end of the day he routinely brings on that guy who got famous for saying he wants US soldiers to makes piles of Chinese skulls. I also see a lot of those thiel cronies trying to rally people with anti-communism when they talk about US-China competition and when they praise China its just to highlight how dire the need to oppose them.

    there's people like tucker and thiel for sure who are a mix of online right rhetoric & boomer rhetoric but the "online right" types definitely like china a lot. like twitter/4chan/reddit/discord types

    do you think the “online right” will get more prominent as the boomer types die off irl? or is it too much of a niche to hold any real influence ?

    i took the online right is basically just the mirror image of the college LARP left. like yeah it's indicative of underlying views for sure but i don't think a lot of it is going to carry into middle-old age in a mass amount enough to change anything significantly when you have transitional generations to "lighten" the distinction from the norm

    I think they're a drop in the bucket when you look at the population and most of them will just be Tucker/Thiel type republicans (although that's not far removed from the online right Krishna seems to be talking about)

    found it ironic the man who went through the violent path ended up dying a peaceful death (Castro) and the man who chose the peaceful path ended up dying a violent death whether it was him who killed himself or shot by the reactionaries (Allende)

    shows the necessity of violent struggle in the face of a system already as exploitative as capitalism only pushing for further destruction to sustain itself
