I feel the same way about the US, but China is even worse. It’s basically what the US is becoming but still further down the road of authoritarianism. So I’m not rooting for it. EU, Canada, Japan etc are a better allay this point.
- joquarky 10mo agoThe US just has better propaganda.
- AnimalMuppet 10mo agoWhen the Chinese press criticizes Xi in the way that the non-Fox press criticize Trump, I'll start listening to such claims. Until then, you're showing either massive ignorance or reckless disregard of the truth.
- datsci_est_2015 10mo agoNow that Bari Weiss is running CBS there’s at least one fewer network to worry about. But you’re right, there’s still plenty of Trump criticism to be found, for now.
- gdilla 10mo agolife isn't easy in china, necessarily, but there's a better, accessible path to become middle class. not in the US. the US is so stratified with wealth inequality and systems to keep people down. People in HN are oblivious with thier $1MM TC.
- seanmcdirmid 10mo agoOk, so you are a poor peasant (erm farmer) in rural China with a 9th grade education (the compulsory minimum in China) in say a poor province like Jiangxi, there are around 500 million of you, what’s your easier path to the middle class than if you were in the USA?

- seanmcdirmid 10mo agoDelivery guys in China are not considered middle class.
- gdilla 10mo agosure dude. they can earn a living. they won't be in a debt spiral like most people here who have no advantages.
- seanmcdirmid 10mo ago> life isn't easy in china, necessarily, but there's a better, accessible path to become middle class. You set the bar in your original comment, I didn’t raise it. > they won't be in a debt spiral like most people here who have no advantages. Ant tribe life is debt free, but it isn’t really living by our standards. At least we can say it’s better than living on the streets even if such housing isn’t allowed in the west.
- gdilla 9mo agosure? we're stuck with incel red pilled men who are nazi curious cuz they can't catch a break. great outcomes.
