I can't tell how much of this is a quote or whatever but I've noticed that US, Japan, and European leftists seem very averse to the Triad theory of empire, which I would also expand to Aus and South Korea, maybe not all the way to semi-imperialists like India, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Turkey, Somalia

Imperialism is not just being a mean country it is about how your country interacts with undeveloped nations and developed imperialist nations

On some level I kind of appreciate your exuberance, I guess. But this doesn't have anything to do with Mao Zedong thought ("dengism").

The purpose of the anti-imperialist geopolitics of contemporary China is to destroy the value chain system created by imperialism through crosslinking and peripheral development. This also has the side benefit of being the way you actually develop an economy without simply ramping up exploitation of the periphery or destroying and enclosing semi developed nations (like the former USSR experienced). If China followed the path that Demsuccs in the first world demand, they would be failing to develop their rural production and quality of life, competing to provide amenities to their workers while also walling themselves off from all capitalist economies, making it incredibly easy to isolate and famine siege China. MZT does not treat all areas of production, agriculture, the military, education, etc as a smorgasbord for capitalists.

"Bail communism out"? I assume you mean Eurocommunist shitheads, the "antiwar US left" that's entirely supplanted Marxism-Leninism with new left French critical theory ideologies like anatchists and succdems, MLMs, trots, and libertarianism?

Yeah, 6/7ths of the population sure isn't waiting for those shitheads to get it. Nobody cares if yhe CPUSA and PSL and whatnot take umbrage with Russians or Nicaraguans or the specifics of what Maduro is doing. Their audience is each other, certainly not the global south, unless they want to lecture. I'm sure they're looking forward to your newfangled lecturing.

Yes, they. The three ISPs he has to choose from. Context. He's not going to meaningfully opt out from dealing with the scale of the services Google provides online by choosing slower internet. We have to encrypt our traffic, secure our browsers and devices. And even then they will passively circumvent many of our efforts not to scrutinized.

In the end privacy is for me a way of judging the quality of my connection. But I do need a quantity of that connection, and if I'm going to shield my traffic obsessively anyways I'd pick Google Fiber.

We're picking between three companies that all collaborate with whatever law enforcement or spy agency comes knocking or visiting.

I did not have any problems installing LineageOS on my Galaxy at all and it solves most of the issues you listed. Helps with battery life etc. It's not just mostly degoogling.
