He used to be a super villain, and now every time I see his name it's related to something unambiguously anti-imperialist he's said. When did this happen? Am I just completely wrong on something? Either his recent statements or on his past.
I asked the same question a few months ago! Since the beginning of this year, he has received more and more coverage in the Chinese media, China Daily, CGTN, CCTV. Many people in the comments section warned "he's the father of shock therapy , do not believe him", but judging by his behavior, it doesn't look like he's being funny...
He's probably got a similar perspective to Mearschiemer, the empire has lost touch with reality and is now destroying itself with poor governance. These technocrats like to think of themselves as the smartest people in the room and minmaxers of "democratic" institutions who mald when their guidance is ignored.
