    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.

      A shit sandwich and diarrhea soup are different.
