Maybe because the system in China has been lifting 100s of millions out of poverty for the last 40 years, whereas the neoliberal corporate rule in the US has been tanking the middle and working class for the same period.
Now people are supposed to trust the same corporations that enshittified everything?

- nilen 6mo agoYeah there's definitely something to this. Do you think it's mainly a trust issue? Is it also hard to imagine potential benefits in areas like Health/Education vs quite easy to imagine risks such as jobs displacement? Do you think people would be more focussed on potential benefits if the trust was there?
