    The thing i love about these types of post is Murricans grandstanding about how much better than china they are, while their army is blowing up innocent fishermen on the Caribbean and their Tax dollars are still funding genocide, these people are hopeless.

    When you’re an even bigger piece of shit than China, you know you’ve got problems

    Of course, I know Germany’s reason for this change is the cost of trade, rather than ethics, but still

      As terrible as the Trump administration is, China is still worse. Think freedom of speech is under threat and reduced in the US? Go to China and criticize Xi publicly. Think the Republicans are rigging Congressional races with gerrymandering? Try one party rule. Worried that you could be disappeared and show up in a prison hundreds of miles away or in another country altogether? How about just disappearing forever?

        You describing China is different from the US how? You can’t make jokes about our admin with the wrong people without it being catalogued if not just outright “getting” you for it. People are turned away from entering for memes literally. One party rule is no different than having Dems and Reps. Different colors, same flavor of shit. Even if some people on the lower end of the Dems are trying to “make things better”, which is mostly trying to go back to pre Covid status quo. And being disappeared isn’t something that doesn’t occur in the states. Especially if you are a service member in the military and you go against whatever is happening administratively. Fort Leavenworth isn’t the only place to have you thrown away.
