People will sometimes ask me why I sound so pro-China at times. It's not that I'm pro-China, its that I'm jealous of China. That if this happened in China, the Sacklers would have been executed by the state for the substantial harm they caused to society to make a buck and the message sent to others that they will not get away with this anti-social behavior.
- insane_dreamer 3y agoIn China, the Sacklers would have been a SOE (State-Owned Enterprise). The Chinese gov is no better than the Sacklers, but the big difference is they have to consider the social threat to their authority that the consequences of their actions would create. I lived in China for years; it's the ultimate authoritarian state--the amount of control, and the degree to which it has been perfected, is astounding--far beyond what Russia or any other authoritarian gov has.
