    Time can’t eat away, nor can we be led astray, we’ll still remember that day, from Beijing to Taipei…

    Stop circlejerking the CCP assholes. While the US system is not great, it’s better than one party totalitarian dictatorship.

      Stop circlejerking the USA assholes. While the CCP system is not great, it’s better than a duopoly totalitarian dictatorship.

        Shittyness is not a race. This could be a teaching moment where we realize we could learn from each other and shit.

        Does it matter if my system is better than your system if it’s still killing people? Compared to Tsarist Russia, we’re all living like kings, so we can stop improving, right?

          We form opinions and feelings about places we’ve never visited. I get the sense that much of the vitriol directed at the current international villains e.g. Russia, China, North Korea comes from a place of ignorance and is shaped by news media.

            IDK, I have personal reasons to hate both the Russian and Chinese government.

            I still like to meet Chinese and Russian people, and usually find that we have more in common than not.

      We are also controlled by 1 party with total dictatorial control, but in typical American extravagance, we have two of them; the party of capital, and the other party of capital.

        That’s not really fair, it’s more of an old money - new money split or an orphan crushing machine - concentration camps dichotomy.
