    Yes dude, I am. The world would be a much better place if the USA was replaced with China and I am goddamn tired of pretending it “wouldn’t.” I am on the verge of death thanks to people like you and you’re still trying to convince me that the country that loses more than 22,000+ people a year to violence, not natural causes, is better than the country with 4x times the population size, yet a quarter of that death toll a year compared to the USA, the supposedly and self-called “#1 country in the world.”

    Do not even try to equate them, dude. You sound exactly like the people that say “Kamala Harris would’ve been the exact same as Trump.” Literally.

      I don’t like facism whether it is the US or China. I hate dictatorships. I hate for life presidents. I hate one party governments. I hate having to trust in the idea of a benevolent dictatorship. I want a government that fears the people and leaderships can be easily replaced as opposed to becoming centralized under one person because fuck kings.

      We can totally agree to disagree but the way the current Chinese government came to power was very brutal. We are talking 2 to 40 million dead depending how you calculate the loss of life.

      No country is perfect and China is far from one.

      I find it strange you would attribute the rise of China to their internal policies as opposed to the reality of them taking advantage of US and other foreign investments. China is great because of the US not despite it.

      You sound like someone who is a pick me for China. This often happens when westerners get disillusioned with the US. Which I think is easy to do. They will look into some other country to latch onto.

      For instance, I am guilty of looking up to some Western European countries policies and idealizing them. I was once also very enamored with socialism. I still am in a lot of ways.

        “China is great because of the US” lmao. “We are talking 2 to 40 million dead” what an insane gap. “them taking advantage of US and other foreign investments” oh my god, you are a MAGA, dude, these are Trump’s talking points ever since his first term.

        Yeah, Lemmy is getting filled with bots to keep further dividing people with nonsense like this. Goodluck

          Hey, I get it. You don’t have answers and that is okay. Nationalism is always a symptom of a deeper problem and also relies on hiding the truth.

          I told you the US was way worse than China. That makes me MAGA?

          I think you are just confused and frustrated and really don’t know what the fuck you are saying at this point. I encourage you to continue examining your opinions. Cheers!
