Your government hasn’t spied on other countries’ technological advancements?

The US government has:

  1. Hired actual nazis,
  2. Systematically attacked other nations to keep them out of the way of their private business,
  3. Attacked and kidnapped the president of Venezuela for oil companies,
  4. Mercilessly beaten down Cuba while many pharma leaders visit and take Cuban medical advancements back home,
  5. And absolutely participated in a huge number of heinous shit I’m not even aware of.

And better pay? I mean, yea, but c’mon. The US is a dystopian nightmare dressed up in juuust enough personal comforts to keep most people from doing anything, and with so much of the country below the poverty line I would hardly call that a win. On the topic of artifical impacts to the cost labour, the governments of the US allow for all kinds of labour and human rights violations which keep people struggling and always playing catch-up.

Environmetal law is a huge nothing. How many people have been poisoned by US chemical companies, like 3M and Dupont, with barely any consequences handed out? The US doesn’t give a fuck about the environment and it never truly has. US-based oil companies release all kinds of highly doctored and misleading reports to try to greenwash their shitty behaviour while laughing behind closed doors(and sometimes out in the open).

I’m not going to say that China is a Utopia, or even decent by many standards, but if you think the US has anything to be proud of you need to sit down and shut up. Fuck the US.

Hey now, Werner Von Braun seemed like a nice enough guy and did some really cool work, even if it was all a front for ICBM development
