I hope this is satire, but this being Threadi I have my doubts.
Comment on Trump Is Obsessed With Oil. But Chinese Batteries Will Soon Run the World
BoJackHorseman@lemmy.world 21 hours agoChina is a democracy with 9 political parties as compared to America which has 2. Over 90% of Chinese people support the government. You’re allowed to criticize the government contrary to CIA propaganda.

Have you ever lived in a non-Western country? Or are you parroting some random copytext you saw online?

Doesn’t it bother you that you’re wrong all the time? Don’t you think that after 15 failed “China is LITERALLY COLLAPSING RIGHT NOW” predictions you ought to think about whether your source of information (the CIA) is flawed?
Does it ever occur to you that to a neutral observer you appear identical to a doomsday cult leader on his latest “Um, well, I guess I was wrong, but the world really is ending next month” pivot?

Right, so because I don’t believe the following:
China is a democracy with 9 political parties … You’re allowed to criticize the government … [GIA conspiracy gibberish]
This makes me a “doomsday cult leader”.
Sure, thing! ;)

I mean denying those things just makes you equivalent to a flat earther. What makes you a doomsday cult leader is being on board with the “China is collapsing!!!” nonsense even though we’re on the 100th failed prediction already.
I know the reading comprehension skills of flat earthers and doomsday cultists tend to be stunted so I’m being patient with you.
