mudbungie.bsky.social @mudbungie.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I'm not set on my thesis here, but, "be exhausting, never really take a position but indict others for failing to characterize their own" is a ten cent prompt to run an exhaustion bot on, and it would read like this 181

mudbungie.bsky.social @mudbungie.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I read it, and you didn't really argue anything. Somehow the KMT is weakened in victory in a way that the CCP wasn't. You're just not engaging your own hypothetical. 100
mudbungie.bsky.social @mudbungie.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I'm literally responding to your hypothetical bsky.app/profile/tire... Why do you think a victorious KMT could not have consolidated control? 100
mudbungie.bsky.social @mudbungie.bsky.social · 20/09/2026this is how we use language for everything else, though. everything is metaphorical application, especially in computing! 000
mudbungie.bsky.social @mudbungie.bsky.social · 19/09/2026my assumption here is not a specific alt history, just, "several things break the other way, and instead of CCP winning, KMT does." I do think that Western support of that regime would materialize, but regardless, why is the KMT worse at consolidation than CCP? 100
mudbungie.bsky.social @mudbungie.bsky.social · 19/09/2026right, but in this hypothetical, the war is over, with the opposite outcome. a non-communist, UNSC member is the legitimate government of a unified China. Does the US decline to support this government while it's consolidating power and crushing warlords? seems inconceivable. 100
mudbungie.bsky.social @mudbungie.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I'm unclear what you're arguing. In the event of a KMT victory in the civil war, I'm saying that the government would have been able to consolidate power. US support would help a lot. 101
mudbungie.bsky.social @mudbungie.bsky.social · 19/09/2026huh? Korea happens after the end of the CCW. Stalin explicitly dealt with and helped both sides at various points, and even supported a negotiated end to the war. Stalin was not eager to jump into the CCW. 100

mudbungie.bsky.social @mudbungie.bsky.social · 19/09/2026given Taiwan, the CPC literally did not unify China, and it's reasonable to assume that a US-allied KMT would have done just as well if not better at consolidating power. 100

mudbungie.bsky.social @mudbungie.bsky.social · 17/09/2026once of my favorite versions is that our contribution is science fiction. an interstellar crisis is brewing and the terran navy is just like, "it's fine, you have a roko's basilisk, we train for this" while the rest of space is just confused how we have a name for their apocalypse 1101
mudbungie.bsky.social @mudbungie.bsky.social · 17/09/2026tankies don't have a consistent narrative anyways. the invasion is bad, even if the revolution was a part of great power politics.
