I think the West considers Russian civilization an anomaly of the West.

They hate em bro......its just disgusting how much hate the west has for Russians.
I'm justa Sunni muslim regular Pakistani guy, well aware of our country's situation, but I still don't hate anybody except the Israeli gubment which shamelessly bombs innocent people right in front of the whole fukking world!
@Fatman17
A religion means for pray while Christian leadership use it for power exercise, Christianity as a source of money etc. Those Christian leadership who sit in Western countries have enough crimilized Christianity to date..... The Churches there have recognised blacks, as those who have Islamic characteristics....

He's a ultra-right neo-con if there is such a classificationMaher: China Is Like ‘an Evil Empire’, China’s like the new Islam, ‘We Can’t Be Honest About Them Because They’re Not White’
1 Feb 2025
On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher stated that China is “kind of an evil empire” and “China’s like the new Islam. We can’t be honest about them because they’re not white.”
Maher stated that China is “kind of an evil empire. And this kind of gets back to the DEI thing, because when you make everything about race, not good. We couldn’t look into the origins of COVID being from the lab — which, now, the CIA, this week, has joined the FBI and many other organizations [in] saying it probably did come from a lab — I said it from the beginning. It’s being studied in this lab where it breaks out, really, we’re going to even wonder about this? Now, maybe it was a bat, but…we couldn’t say that, because The New York Times said to even look into that is racist.”
He continued, “Okay, China’s like the new Islam. We can’t be honest about them because they’re not white. And China, okay, I’m sorry, kids, they do some bad things, China. And we should just recognize that.”
Later on, Maher agreed with writer Max Brooks that Chinese Americans who fled oppression in China will happily be honest about the regime, the same way Muslims who fled Muslim countries will.

THINK TANK: CONSULTANT
Maher is just pandering to his audience to keep himself relevant, coaching the animus in language they have had decades to be trained to.
He’s not a conservative, he’s that kind of liberal that starts wars.

He's a classical liberal or left libertarian, can no longer vibe with today's "progressive" democrats and SJW crowd.
He's somewhat understandably very pro Israel, Mom or Dad were Jewish.

He's anti Muslim.
How long will it be before the Americans wake up and realize they are the bad guys?
Americans are on no return path against Blacks, who are considered Islamists by Christianity of western countries.
To date, whites can't trust us, and a Black is always Black.....
And we see Chinese on the side of Blacks. On the "moral grounds", we non-western can only be Blacks, it has been accepted

China delivers food by DRONE?! Shenzhen is living in the future!
May 21, 2025
Is China living in 2050… or is the rest of the world just stuck in the past?!
We spent the weekend in Shenzhen, one of the most futuristic cities in China — and it was packed with surprises.From drone-delivered food to an epic skyline light show and even a visit to Window of the World, this trip was anything but ordinary.If you’ve ever wondered what the future looks like? This video is for you!!

We don't see Churches following "Code of Conduct" of home cultures of Asian nations. They always use Christianity as an arm against home religions-home cultures of Asia

China Is on Its Way to Becoming World’s First ‘Electrostate’
By Alex Kimani - May 22, 2025, 7:00 PM CDT- China leads the world in electrification, with a 30% electrification rate—far ahead of the U.S. and EU at ~22%—dominating sectors like transport and industry.
- Massive investment in electric vehicles, high-speed rail, and renewables has positioned China as a superpower in clean energy technologies, with renewables now making up 10% of GDP.
- Despite progress, China’s ongoing coal expansion complicates climate goals, as the country remains the largest greenhouse gas emitter, raising doubts about its transition timeline.
Many people are perhaps familiar with the term “petrostates”, which usually denotes oil-rich nations that are deeply intertwined with the oil industry, often facing economic and political challenges due to oil price fluctuations and the potential decline in hydrocarbon resources. Saudi Arabia, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Kuwait, and Iran are some of the world’s leading petrostates. But with the world’s electrification drive now in full gear, scientists have coined the term “electrostates” to refer to countries that have made the most progress transitioning away from processes and technologies that rely on fossil fuels to electrically powered alternatives.
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), electrification is “one of the most important strategies for reducing carbon emissions from energy.” And, as in many other scientific arenas, China has emerged as the nation that is leading the electrification race, ahead of the United States and Europe.
According to a study, China’s electrification rate has hit 30%, significantly ahead of the U.S. and the EU and US where the electrification rate has plateaued at ~22% in recent years.
The study defines the electrification rate as the share of electricity in final energy consumption versus energy coming from fossil fuels. According to the study, the U.S. still leads the world in the electrification of buildings; however, China recently caught up to the U.S. and Europe in industrial electrification, and has overtaken both in the electrification of transport. In 2024, electric vehicles (EVs) made up approximately 47.9% of the total passenger car sales in China, a huge increase from 2020, when plug-in EVs accounted for just 6.3% of total sales. In comparison, electric vehicles accounted for less than 23% of new car sales in Europe over the timeframe.
The rapid expansion of China’s modern rail network has also helped supercharge the electrification of the country's transport sector. China boasts a 45,000 km high-speed rail network, five times the size of the EU’s. That figure is expected to expand to 60,000km by 2030.

China’s President Xi Jinping has been largely credited with the country’s remarkable electrification journey. When Xi became the leader of the Chinese Communist Party in 2012,
China had emerged as the world’s second-largest economy and the United States’ archrival nuclear power. However, the country was still highly dependent on other countries for its energy needs. China’s oil and coal imports were surging to record highs, exposing the country to potential supply disruptions amid growing geopolitical tensions.
Fast forward to the present, and China is not only rapidly advancing towards energy security but also controls the critical minerals that underpin technologies of the future.
“Nobody had been seriously worrying about energy security or supply chains for armaments and critical industries and food because everyone thought that went with the Cold War,”
says Andrew Gilholm, head of China analysis at consultancy Control Risks. “Meanwhile, China has been working on that for years.”
China now leads the 4th Industrial Revolution, making huge strides in electrification, renewable energy, artificial intelligence (AI), robotics and the Internet of Things. And, just as oil and gas drive the petrostates of the Arab world, clean energy technologies are powering China’s growth.
To wit, renewable energy accounted for a record 10% of China’s GDP in 2024, driving a quarter of economic expansion, the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) has revealed.
Beyond energy security and economic growth electrification is expected to play a critical role in addressing climate change.
“We cannot see any way to a zero-carbon economy except through massive electrification,”
Lord Adair Turner, head of the Energy Transitions Commission, said.
This is particularly critical for China, which remains the world’s biggest polluter and emitter of greenhouse gases. China’s power sector emissions hit record highs last year, driven by a surge in coal consumption. However, the country’s progress in electrification and the transition to renewable energy will be able to mitigate some of the damage.
Coal remains a controversial topic in China, with Beijing indicating it will start phasing down coal consumption between 2006 and 2030. Whereas this suggests a gradual decline rather than a complete and immediate phase-out, the IEA predicts that coal generation in China will likely peak around 2025 and decline thereafter. However, recent reports indicate that China is still building new coal plants, which raises questions about the commitment to phasing down coal use: Reuters has reported that China plans to keep building coal-fired power plants through 2030.
