I write a whole comment for you to just take a snippet of, reply with snark and then send a link that ranks the US democracy index at 81/100.

I very much doubt the intelligence of these people if they call the US a “flawed democracy”. It’s an oligarchy that knows enough buzzwords to sound correct.

But sure. While China develops their economy, ensure their citizens are well and educated, and act as the only big power actually doing something about climate change, keep deluding yourself that the US is somehow better.

Stupid fucking American.

Shout-out to all the Americans still claiming that they are more democratic than whatever other country. I take great pleasure in seeing the shit hole your country is and is still becoming. ❤️

Let me guess: you’re American?

So if the west indeed is more free, why are people getting arrested, beaten, scolded and losing jobs for supporting Palestinians? Why are neo-Nazi parties rising, why is it ok to run politics solely based on hate for immigrants in every supposedly free society? I guess you’re white and don’t know what’s it like to witness entire political movements dedicated to othering you.

Trump is the president of the US, farage and his like have millions demonstrating against Muslims in the UK, Sweden has Nazis on course to becoming the most popular party. Everyday I am bombarded with messaging reminding me that I’m vermin. Do you mean that a free society is consistent with fascists in every position of power?

And again, all the while this is happening, politics happen in ways that are not popular. Increased living costs, housing basically impossible to acquire, billionaires eating away at the working classes’ right. The only solution these so called free societies offer is to blame minorities.

But I guess all of that is ok because you can write LGBTQ? Even tho the trend here is clearly taking us to a point in which the little rights gays have will be put into question?

As an aside: Chinese gay people exist and it is fully legal to be gay in China. So what is even your point?

Yes, also true that the CPC is more effective in their decision-making. However, I’d like to claim that a free democracy never existed in the west – at least not in a way that deserves to be described as such. This varies from country to country, but to put it in general terms, there is democracy in the west insofar that the populace doesn’t stray too far away from capitalist doctrine.

The past two-three decades have shown that. No single people would like the housing prices to be as high as they are, or to live in societies where essential services are slowly picked apart by capital. When we vote, we can get the change we want as long as it’s acceptable within the bounds of what the country’s oligarchy want. And we are steadily under the assault of desinformation campaigns that demonise anything thats left of center – something you can see in effect with every piece of propaganda hurled at China.

Every single mainstream party within every single western country has turned rightward, and you’d be hard-pressed to find a politician that runs on – or delivers – on leftist principles. That is the effect of capital in action. Capitalism cannot exist within democracy – it will devour the will of people, soon or late.

And this is not to mention the extent to which supposedly free countries have oppressed their peoples for speaking up for the plight of the Palestinians.

What you see in the US is the inevitable result of letting capital exist within democracy.

So no – “free democracies” don’t exist in the west. The CPC, for all its faults, seems to do good by its people. They have high approval within the Chinese populace. And as long as it’s American/Western actors accusing the CPC of whichever offense that they themselves were guilty of, and for fear of the emerging superpower that disproves their profit-driven economic models, then I won’t believe it. And neither should you.

You and so many are so deluded by propaganda about China. I used to believe it until I saw how these same sources lied so they effortlessly about Gaza and Palestine. Then I went to China to see it for myself – and it rocks. Housing is cheap, jobs are good and it’s hard to believe this was sold to me as a dystopian dictatorship.

The Dems who helped bomb my country of origin as every bit as fascist as the Republicans. Please stop deluding yourself

You’re not wrong but you’ll notice that all the countries that have made the strongest criticisms toward Israel are present in that list, like Spain and Ireland. Trade and geopolitics aren’t always compatible.

If only. I feel better than ever but it seems like my fortune is just shit and I’m entering a severe depression that leaves me angry and unable to enjoy life.

Does it make you feel better to say that? They’re dogshit. They are as guilty of this situation as the R’s.

CCP is pro Palestine but go off

Look at the US then look at china. Then back to the US :)

Just read thru some of your comments and you’re a piece of shit American that wouldn’t be worth the saliva of my spit. You’re the scum of Earth.

Allow me to indulge in the humiliation of Americans.

Keep calling Chinese tech that as if

1. US technology isn’t also spying on everyone
2. All you know of China isnt red scare propaganda you’re stupid enough to fall for
3. It isn’t 100x better than all shitty overpriced American tech

Enjoy shilling for your overlords while the rest of the world wins :)

Yes but stop believing the Dems are better.

Does this include Cachy? I’ve had it for months now after years of distro hopping and it’s been great

Fuck me that sounds fun. Idc if it pays less – I’m looking for something that’ll pay well and keep me employed.

The field being more difficult to offshore is the main reason for me picking it.
