I mean.....they aren't wrong. We are a threat, because we've let the entire government become corrupt to the core.

    It's not like the US really changed much. Random regime changes and gunboat diplomacy were always their thing.

    I agree, it is just that the US has now dropped any pretext of being a "rule of law" country, other than the law of the jungle, might makes right. The mask has slipped, the curtain pulled slightly back.

    Anyone who has been paying attention to what has been happening for the last 250 years is not surprised.

    China is probably nowhere near as batshit crazy as the US, at least not openly and as shamelessly.

    At least china tries to cover up its genocide of Uyghurs and imperialism. But it's also not a haven. It's going after Taiwan.

    What's hilarious is your failed attempt at a counterargument. Strawman, really.

    I didn't say China is imperialist because it's planning to invade Taiwan.

    China has historically been, and remains imperialist.

    Did you just... justify genocide on the grounds of "disruption"?

    What's described as "re-education" is essentially ethnic cleansing. This is disgusting. It's not "rehab", it's inhumane mistreatment

    These are right-wing nationalist/conservative talking points.

    I have never been a big fan of the chinese government but right now I prefer them aw well.

    I don't think preferring China would be the correct answer. Without the US as a counterbalance, I wouldn't be surprised if they also got a lot more brazen and did what they wanted to do much as the US is doing.

    China is advancing tech and currently makes everything for the world. People support progress and innovation.

    The US is only advancing financialization and extraction of resources for the wealthy. They are an imperial power that is starting to fail and lash out.

    lol

    good luck with that.

    I get it, the US is a bit...unstable at the moment. I think trading the US for China is bit shortsighted though but 🤷 if that's what the "world" wants go on ahead.
