Lol gives me hitler vibes when he said "how can such primitive people achieve this level of development so fast?" about the ussr
Ancient Aliens vibes.
"These savages had no contact with civilized Europeans at the time. It must have been an advanced alien civilization. Its too absurd to think these savages could have done it themselves"

Barrett on YT is great proof. He’s an English “expat” (aka Immigrant but I digress, I don’t wanna get into a whole thing) that moved to China. Idk exactly when it happened, but he got breast cancer and was very fortunately able to get chemotherapy and even surgery in China. I don’t wanna get too into it but those videos filled me with such joy, pure happiness from seeing someone suffering given what they need without a million doctors and insurance companies jumping in and talking about it first. He’s since gotten better and makes videos to this day. OBVIOUSLY China is not a utopia and it has its problems, but it gives me so much hope for what the future may hold, against my mostly doomer mindset
Would that not have happened in the UK too? I mean i guess depending on how recent, cause i know the NHS is being gutted.
But like, I'm Canadian, and my brother had brain surgery to remove a cancerous tumour. I would not have been born if my parents got saddled with millions in debt from that. They're certainly not wealthy enough to have private insurance - although tbf that's not a normal thing here compared to the states because the government provides everyone with free insurance with tax money. But even if it was so normalized, my parents would not have had private insurance.
Whatever, point is I think having your life financially ruined by getting cancer is an America thing (and many poor countries unfortunately)
It's really telling that when faced with any information that runs counter to the classic China Bad narrative, libs immediately resort to "this person must have been paid to say this." Their brains have been steeped in capitalism for so long they can't imagine someone praising e.g. China's poverty alleviation programs without some kind of financial incentive. And then, like clockwork, even this post has an "aUtHoRiTaRiAn ReGiMe" comment. These people would rather plug their ears and yell "LA LA LA CAN'T HEAR YOU" than approach China with an open mind. Shameful
I also love how deeply ingrained the whole both sideism thing is with these people. If you point out that one thing is objectively speaking better than another then you're not being balanced. There always have two be two equally valid and opposing positions in their minds so that they can smugly live in the liberal centre.
I agree, but they only feel this way when the right is being criticized over the left. All opinions are equal, but some opinions are more equal than others.
Indeed, and the way they decide what the reasonable centre is entirely based on the anchoring bias of what they find familiar simply because it's the environment they grew up in.
but the local news literally just told us that China's economy is in a real bad place so thats why Xi came to talk with Biden. thats light paraphrasing but no bullshit
It's going to collapse any day now.
Any day now.
Maybe all this time they were counting down the days of China's actions causing the western economy to collapse.
With how much they project, I love how likely that actually ends up being.
Living well is the best revenge
Some guy over there went through my entire profile to downvote every single comment and post I have made since the creation of my account.
RIP my redditterino karmerino, I shall never recover from this.
lol I'm pretty sure we have some bots running around downvoting people. I notice that I get a batch of downvotes all coming in together once a day. I absolutely love that somebody was so bothered to spend the time and effort on this.
Their worldview depends on China being worse than the US in some way. Either through a lack of rights, bad economy or a genocide going on in the background. That last one is especially hilarious now that we're all being reminded what an actual genocide looks like.
