Yeah, I don't even know if it's considered a hot take around here at this point, but my long held "hot take" is that MTW should generally only be practiced by people in the third world, because for first worlders, it most often just ends up being used as an excuse to be the most insufferable do-nothing poster. It's honestly surprising at times that the ACP didn't adopt MTW. I actually agree with a lot of MTW theory, too, it's just not really something you can practice in the West unless you either become like a Chinese spy or you move to the third world.

Counterpoint, if China saves us we don't have to do anything ourselves to stop our nation's warmongering!
Congrats, you have discovered Suburban Maoist Third Worldism.
Waiting for some of these leaders to grow some sense and start looking at historical examples of how to deal with such internal threats 
From the actual Grayzone reporting:
Among the most crucial IRI projects in Nepal was a program called “Yuva Netritwa: Paradarshi Niti” (Youth Leadership: Transparent Policy), which ran at an initial cost of $350,000 from July 2021 to June 2022. The IRI project sought to provide “emerging leaders [with] increased opportunities to build momentum for youth activism and put pressure on Nepali political decision-makers,” the documents show. The program was predicted to “benefit” between 60 – 70 young Nepalis.
“Networks of youth activists and political leaders” would be cultivated in Nepal, provided with “skills, resources, and platforms to build connections” and communicate their grievances publicly, then trained to “advocate concerns on political turmoil, government corruption and national policymaking,” the files state. Washington’s concerns would be addressed by “advocacy campaigns and protests, urging the government of Nepal to pay more attention to their concerns and promoting democratic reform advocated by the US.”
Once a sufficient number of Nepalese “youth leaders” who “endorse and advocate” US “values” were groomed, they could then be mobilized “to launch advocacy campaigns on Nepali issues of US concern.” To bolster its project, IRI pledged to deploy an Emerging Leaders Academy (ELA), which it described as “an IRI program that seeks to bring together young civic activists and political leaders… and provide them with the skills, platforms, and resources needed to initiate positive change in their communities.”
The Institute boasted that its other ELA programs “elsewhere in Asia,” such as Sri Lanka and Indonesia, had “seen success” in preparing its hand-selected youth activists “to assume leadership positions within their communities and parties.”
IRI undertook to “specifically solicit applications” to its Nepalese ELA “from young participants in a range of different sectors – including political parties, civil society and the media.” These “youth leaders” would be provided with “the skills and knowledge to ensure that future advocacy efforts and protests are effective and sustainable enough to encourage more people to engage” in US-approved political action, the report states.
Once they’d returned to their everyday lives, the Institute would “encourage and support participants to strive for higher positions in [their] respective political parties.”
IRI expressed confidence that it would create a Nepalese “youth network” that “has a say in national decision-making.” The Institute’s hand-picked young troublemakers would learn “methods… to effectively broadcast messages of advocacy campaigns and protests,” the report’s authors wrote, specifically highlighting “social media and other web-based tools” as ideal ways to get the word out. In the end, “the remarkable results of the advocacy campaigns and protests will be known by more and more young people and arouse their interest in participation,” IRI predicted.
In August 2021, when seeking $500,000 for a local “youth civic education project,” the IRI cited internal research indicating 90% of young Nepalese were “disengaged with politics.” Because youth comprised 40% of the country’s population, it was therefore seen as critical to train future civic and political leaders who “support the development of a sustainable strong federalist nation that is vital to the US’s Indo-Pacific strategy.” IRI boasted of being “uniquely prepared to leverage its civil society and political contacts” to support this objective. It is unknown whether those funds were ultimately disbursed.

Will they be releasing a King Ranch hypersonic missile?
Yes, I am joking, but the joke is just the standard joke about Hasan radicalizing children, not teaching Chinese people about their own history.
Hasan Piker streams on bilibili for 2 weeks and the Chinese zoomers yearn for the Cultural Revolution again. Coincidence?
Politely proposing to change that "Chilling" label to "Capturing Aden", Mr. Houthi.
Still trying to sell my AA weapon idea where I have a missile that explodes in the flight path of a plane and releases a cloud of volcanic ash and magnetic dust that gets sucked into jet engines.
If it will buy nothing from others but commodities and consumer goods, they must prepare to do the same.
Have they tried adding weapons to this offering in order to match the US offerings?
Bank of America and Morgan Stanley are two of the main banks that Tesla has used to underwrite its debt. Morgan Stanley just sold off the last of the debt it held earlier this year, and I believe BOA still holds Tesla debt. If they turned around and said actually Tesla is dogshit (and thus won't be able to pay its debt), then they would probably open themselves up to lawsuits since it's still too close to having sold/underwritten the debt.
I sure hope so.
