BRICS org doesn’t actually mean or do anything, and as should always be mentioned:
- India and China fucking hate each other and engage in frequent deadly border skirmishes
- Same with Iran and Saudi but without the border
- Egypt and Ethiopia are dick inches from a war, and not backing down
Maybe BRICS org can help fix some of that but unlikely. More likely this will go the way of the African Union, CARICOM, and ECOWAS - aka a lot of noise but no material change
Going to say the unsaid here: Why tf are Ethiopians trying to enter Saudi from Yemen (an active war zone) for economic reasons? Ethiopia has it's shit together! It's becoming one of Africa's success stories!
It feels like there's a growing sentiment of "you can just move anywhere you want, there's no reason to try to fix where you are, if you can make a bit more money somewhere just move there, you have a right to." That might fly in Sweden but it absolutely is not true about 90% of the world, and the people that enforce those norms aren't always going to be friendly.
Saudi doesn't give a shit about HRW, and they don't give a shit about Twitter outrage. Neither does Myanmar, or China, etc. You cannot just force your way into these places because you don't want to make it work in your homeland (which, again, is booming economically: https://www.afdb.org/en/countries/east-africa/ethiopia/ethio...)
Obviously, no one should be murdered for trying to cross a border. That doesn't mean you won't be - and the growing amount of migration means this will keep happening. Particularly when it's "choice migration" - these aren't people going to Kenya or Djibouti.
What drives all this Euro cope though? The entirety of the internet shits on the USA, at all times, and the few times that people point out it's unwarranted the Euros completely break down.
They filed in Manhattan in particular for very good reason - the venue is extremely good at huge, complex bankruptcies like this. It's non-trivial to unwind these financial obligations, and is really only done in NYC.
This is actually a great question! The United States bankruptcy court in the Southern District of New York is the best equipped place to manage a massive bankruptcy, likely on Earth. Every complex case you've heard of is managed there. It's a huge reason for NYC's success, and they know what they're doing.
If you need to wind down your car dealership, do it in Guangzhou or Monterry or wherever you happen to be. If you need to unwind GM or Enron, you'll do it in the Southern District Court.
They literally say they neuter the model, and there's a number of writeups on how to neuter your model. Of course they neuter it in a way that matches the current SF zeitgeist. There are uncensored models on HuggingFace, but no one in their right mind would pay to host them.
Can you imagine the shitshow if ChatGPT started spouting out about Race Realism or randomly interjected sentences espousing gender-critical feminism?
