Thing is I uprooted my family to move to the US 15 years ago and loved it here, and still do. I hate the current everything of course, Ikbut 'm still a bit idealistic and still believe the country will right itself. How long it will take, I don't know, but I still believe it.
(... ok back to the job search, yay layoffs)
OMG ARE YOU ME?
I also moved here approx 15 years ago.
But yea this is basically how I feel.
Don't wanna go back to PRC... omg I remember that ugly looking tiny "apartment" unit... in Guangzhou 15 years ago... dirty as hell, 5 flights of stairs no elevators god damn lol... imagine if you break a leg, how do you even go home / leave home?
I've been here since I was 8, this is more "home" than China ever was. I can't even understand the Chinese internet, the slangs. The complete utter lack of mental health awareness and acceptance. Holy shit my parents are so cruel, especially mom. Can't imagine asking my recent AskLemmy question on a Chinese Forum. Probably get bombarded with "you disrespecful child" comments.
I like the west much more than China, much more progressive.
2nd time i come across you here ;)
In a lot of ways what I see the US turning into is a lot like China. So yeah, that would be tough.
russia actually more than china. USA is heavily influenced by russia, through propaganda, thats why the gop mimics putin's russia.
Hmm. Well, that's true, what's emerging is a lot more of a corrupt morass than an actual, defined one-party system like China has. Maybe something else will grow out of it, but that remains to be seen.
How it acts on the world stage more China-like though. Nativist, aggressive and clueless but still taken seriously because they're so huge. Probably the economic policy too - China is a lot more protectionist than Russia.
