EU and US aren’t already paying for everything in ~~Ukraine~~ Zelensky's mansion.

The grift is collapsing.
Radlibs like Hasan the Streamer indulge in that aspect themselves. Blaming tankies for having "bad optics" by supporting NK without slandering it. Once they said they same thing about supporting Palestinians and opposing Zionism. Wrong they were and wrong they shall remain. True solidarity screams into the turned faces.
Large parts of Cambodia used to be part of Siam before being taken in unequal treaties. They got it back when they were pressured to join the axis in ww2. And then lost it again.
But the ancient khmer used to rule much of the region as well, including very significant religious sites now in thailand. Actually the eastern portion of thailand are ethnically khmer but are going Thaification. Isan for example is actually laotian & khmer in character.
I think the conflict is partially caused by internal thai power struggles since the military & thai monarchy are more sovereign in its character. Thailand also has been shifting towards the prc, despite being one of the closest western allies in the region since the cold war. Cambodia is meanwhile also ruled by a family since decommunization. And is closely tied to china economically.
No americans need deep-fried double bacon tripple cheese whoppers each day, And they all need to live in Phoenix, Arizona and have a big beautiful lawn and run the AC 24/7
You know global trade would still exist, a lot of treats would be much more expensive though.
People have an unrealstic expectation of what that would imply. Although most of the typical suburban american lifestyle would be gone and no more labubu dubai chocolate macha crumble cookies.
There is already fungi that grows in your throat. Humans are connected to the mycelium - the most advanced lifeform on this planet.
There is like a chinese restaurant close to my home that has basically replaced all waiters with robots. Most people found it endearing but strange.
writing fan fiction
Writers are workers though, similar to artist they are just artisanal occupied. Its called fan fiction and is deemed by capitalistic hegemony as lesser due to copyright and "non-profit" motive behind those works.
Its also anti-marxist. Engels wrote extensively about the luddites (silesian weaver uprising). Marxism is supposed to emancipate the working class from labor and use technology to improve their lives, hell marx himself thought that the technology of his time was nearly sufficient enough so people dont have to work at all.
Same thing happened in africa. They also pioneer dissident "management" methods, like training the police force of other countries, or surveillance tech. Yes they introduced the kneeling method which killed George Flyod. Palestinians are just a large test population for the oppressive methods of that the "other" parts of the empire will use in the future.
