The question is, are their psychopaths crazier than our psychopaths.
- enriquto 6y agoI politely refuse to partake in this kind of questions :)
- api 6y agoMaybe, maybe not, but our psychopaths are restrained by a government designed to be inefficient and to frustrate tyrants. We just had an attempted fascist coup in the USA and it failed hilariously. The swamp is a good thing. It’s there to bog down tyrants in mud. Efficient government is dangerous.
- m0rti 6y agoEven though I agree with what you said in terms of internal politics, I think when it comes to geopolitics, things start to get much uglier and multiple times more cruel. And since this topic is about foreign politics, I don’t think the US is any better than China. An American might think different, but I’m not one.
- api 6y agoThe US is better than China internally, but I mostly agree that China is not substantially worse than the US in terms of foreign policy.
- yellowcake0 6y agoMy intention was to point out the irony of Chinese nationals wanting to immigrate to the US, ostensibly because China is ruled by a bunch of "crazy psychopaths". When the reality is that the US is also run, at least in part, by a bunch of crazy psychopaths. But my point was not well taken.
