   @adiz I very much agree, and I very much think that capitalist relations shape the way people think in general. Since the whole system is focused on short term outcomes, that necessarily translates into how planning and politics are done.

   I had some thoughts on the whole thing, I ended up writing up here.

     @yogthos America, just like public corporations, only things in the very short/near term. Anybody with any sense could predict that this would backfire. The sanctions on Russia, for example, will backfire. Acts of economic and industrial sabotage, like what the US has been doing liberally, only work once. They're tactical tools, not strategic. They hurt your target in the very short term, immediately---but, often at the expense of strengthening them long term. America, like a spoiled brat child having a tantrum, rushes out and plays these cards in the opening move out of frustration and vindictiveness……never questioning what happens next. You played the card……now what? Nothing? No follow up? So, just sit around for 5--10 years and watch your opposition develop immunity to any future plays of that nature? Become stronger and better off for it? Interesting move, USA! See how it plays out……

     @adiz I'm still amazed people genuinely thought they could hold China back technologically

     Huawei’s new 5G smartphones and the advanced, made-in-China chip for these handsets have become symbols of the country’s victory against US sanctions.

     Formerly China’s biggest smartphone vendor, Huawei has scrambled to adapt its production of handsets amid tightened tech restrictions imposed in 2020.
