Mandate from Heaven is quite interesting diction for 1. 5 billion atheists

Yep, there is no deflation in sight. All is well in China. LOL. They have no incentive to negotiate. / sarc.
In all seriousness, I have not been to China as often as other family members (what I saw was enough), and I was talking to one and he told me about China and the mandate from Heaven. I honestly thought was a joke but apparently it is a real thing. This is from google AI:
The concept of the Mandate of Heaven, a traditional Chinese political ideology, has been invoked in discussions about the legitimacy of Xi Jinping's rule in China. According to this doctrine, a ruler's authority is granted by divine approval and is contingent upon their ability to govern wisely and justly. If a ruler fails to do so, they can lose the mandate, leading to potential revolts or changes in leadership.
Some scholars and commentators argue that Xi Jinping's legitimacy as a ruler is linked to the Mandate of Heaven, emphasizing his role in leading China into the "New Era" and promoting "common prosperity. " They suggest that his performance in office, particularly his efforts to strengthen China's economy and international standing, supports his claim to the mandate. For instance, Xi's third term as Chinese President was cemented at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in October 2022.
However, others contend that Xi Jinping has not been chosen by the Chinese people to rule, and therefore does not have the Mandate of Heaven. They argue that the mandate is derived from the people's approval and that Xi's ascent to power was not through democratic means.
The idea of the Mandate of Heaven continues to influence Chinese politics and society, even though the current system is not directly based on this ancient concept. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has adapted the notion to justify its rule and Xi's leadership, emphasizing performance legitimacy and the need for stability and prosperity.
End of link.
I had thought of Xi as an iron dictator incapable of being taken out, but apparently all that needs to happen is the people just believe he is not heaven's choice, and the people and party turn their backs on him. It is also interesting that he is having issues with the military.
This guy Peter Zeihan gets his information straight from the CIA and apparently Xi only likes yes men around him. So it makes sense at first he told Trump to piss off, but I think he got a lot of flak from people telling him he had to negotiate or the Chinese economy would tank.
If the Chinese economy collapses, and God should it ever, it looks like Xi will be on his way out.[/QUOTE]Mandate from Heaven LMMFAO.

[QUOTE]Yes, enslaved people played a significant role in building the White House. The construction of the White House, which began in 1792, relied on both free and enslaved labor.

MDS, did you see this one?
[URL]https://www.zerohedge.com/political/statues-random-fat-black-women-popping-worldwide[/URL]
While it is not allowed to have statues of Thomas Jefferson or Teddy Roosevelt, among others, in New York City, a 12 ft bronze statue of a random fat black woman just standing there is certainly permitted. The Roosevelt and Jefferson statues were removed last year. After all, what did they ever do in contrast with this overweight fictional woman whose nipples are showing through her baggy t-shirt?
This is a fictional black woman. A fat, sloppy, slouchily dressed, black woman. Couldn't even find an ACTUAL black woman to represent.
No Harriet Tubman.
No Daisy Bates.
No Maya Angelou.
Just a fat fucking black woman.
And it gets worse: Similar statues installed recently in Florence, San Francisco, Rotterdam, & New York. All by the same (grifter-artist, "Thomas J Price," all with high levels of federal, municipal, private funding.
My favorite comment was: How about something that looks less like someone complaining their "order wasn't right"?
And then there is this bullshit: "In a culture that increasingly encourages a faster pace, Grounded in the Stars is an introspective meditation on humanity," the artist's website states, claiming the statue should "instigate meaningful connections and bind into an emotional state that allow for deeper reflection around the Human condition and greater cultural diversity. ".
Can you believe this crap? Obviously, the goal is if anyone criticizes the statue, you can call the person sexist and racist. Thing is every time I fly to Cartagena 75% of all flights are filed with black men. Guys on here have cricized these men caling them part of the Sousa crowd or the Passport Bros but honestly I have not seen any of them behave badly on the flights. I think the guys shooting videos bragging about their exploits is dumb beause they risk ruining their playground by bringing pubicity to it, but the black culture does not have the shame with seeing hookers that the white culture does.
I have tempted to ask a few of those guys, why do you all come to Cartagena so much? Are the black American women really that bad? Of course, I look at this staute of this angry black woman and while I might not like her, the black men have to live with her, and the answer is yes and the proof is seeing those guys are hauling their asses to Colombia in droves. It is like don't you dare call me fat. You are body shaming me you racist, sexist POS.
That is what these Democratic douches do not get. Productive American men do not have to stay in the USA. I wonder how many guys are asking the same question I am. Is the reason I am paying taxes is so this whale can have food stamps?
Trump's blithering blathering cognitive incapacity reaches new heights.
The most unstable numbskull to ever waddle into the Oval Office much less actually be allowed to sit in the desk chair, Donald Trump, has just now demanded his Repub Party disavow 100 years of their entire economic philosophy in order to accomplish godknowswhat for himself.
Yep. The same guy who told us American families can no longer afford more than 2 dolls and 5 pencils because, well, remember all those Billions and Billons and Billions of dollars America will be given by other countries from his Trump Tariffs that will make all of us rich and fund everything we want including Childcare because Childcare is Childcare and groceries, god I'm glad he invented that word, has now turned out to be AMERICANS paying those Billions and Billions and Billions of dollars and looks like doing that will make everyone poor and not rich at all. Shocking.
But it doesn't end there. Remember how Repubs have been telling us for well over 100 years that the benefits of giving tax cuts for the rich will "Trickle-Down" into the rest of the economy, create more jobs than the Dem alternative and make all of us rich too?
Well, Trump wants the Repub Party to flush that whole idea down the shitter too. Which is where it always belonged, of course. But now it turns out Trump has always understood that Repub Party economic philosophy was total BS and now we needs them to raise taxes on the rich, "wipe out jobs and businesses", drive rich people out of the country, destroy the USA Economy and all of the other horrors that Repubs have spent 100 years telling us would happen if we raised taxes on the rich, because now Trump has some personal need to be met by the Repubs doing so.
Or does he.
Not sure.
He kinda wants his Repub Party toy do do both and refuse to do both, all at the same time.
Or something like that.
