  You say that, but medical debt? Homelessness? Ice concentration camps for brown people? Highest incarceration rates, social credit (credit score), pedophile leaders…

  Europeans, feel free to complain about China. Americans have no right to complain about China.

  Not to be a tankie, but China taking over the US government would be an improvement

    I AM European.

    Having said that, the US is a shit show and the Empire pretty much needs to be rebuilt from scrap at this point but it’s still better than China.

    If you disagree I would suggest you go to China and start posting lots of tiananmen square videos from the 90’s and then tell me which place is better.

      yhea, that’s not nearly as bad as paying taxes to a pedophile to finance a death camp for brown people.

    Hate to say it, but unironically, they would be better off under communist China.

  And the West does? Hmm, you learn something new every day.

    Yeah. Absolutely nothing bad happened to anyone in the rollout of the interstate Highway system. /s

      Yeah, never mind. You know what I mean, of course, but you got your head so far up Pooh’s ass that you can taste his lunch

      I don’t care for the US, let it fucking burn, it deserves to die fast at this point. However, at least you can still have some open expression there (for as long as that is lasting under the Cheeto)

      But the likes of you pretending that China has it all covered and is doing great and totally doesn’t fuck entire populations over are just the worst.

      I’m guessing correctky that you’re of the types that think that tiananmen square was just a big happy dance party?

      At least I recognize both empires for the evil shit they are

      Or the US rail system that used exploited labor to build it out.

  Plenty of people got fucked over for America’s interstate system. You just don’t care about them because they’re poor minorities

    One of the reasons it was built was to demolish black neighborhoods.

  Are you suggesting that’s why the US hasn’t improved trains? Is there something about train improvements specifically that you think is harmful?

    …

    Wut

    You read that and were like “who cares about human lives and rights, why doesn’t he want trains?”

    Yeah, love trains, and as far as I’m concerned the US can replace all its highways with trains

    But not at the expense of a couple of humans per kilometers because the government doesn’t give a shit, or worse, you’re an Uyghur
